How much longer do we have to mention it anytime someone is the first black person to do ____________? Seems a little insulting at this point, like black folks normally aren't capable of high achieving things so we gotta recognize whatever thing a black person just did. Obama and Kamala kinda showed black folks can do big things. This stuff is more like a Guinness Book of black records.

Don't forget that the song itself is 35+ years old and was able to change genders. Also, it's brilliance if it hasn't been ruined for you by oversaturation.

That was before LC learned how much money he'd make by selling out.


I like the song but take artistic license and change the "I work in the market as a checkout girl" line.
