Blonde hair and lots of extensions, weaved up
Blue or hazel contacts
Makeup that changes skin tone with the right lighting
British accents, Island accents, anything-but-American accents
Creole, Native American roots, a quarter Latino
Be Black, but not too Black, not really Black, especially not dark and Black
Shoes worth two months of the grocery budget
Dress worth a car note
No job, no husband, no condoms in this scene
Them babies she got…will not be seen
Assimilate, it’s easy
Pumped up, botoxed out, eyelashes everywhere
Just spend
In debt but she ball so hard
Boss b*tch, foreclosed on, but she look good
Conform– keep it real and stay black
but not too Black,
Nah, not that Black
*fade to black*
hmm…. now I remember why I don’t watch TV.
