[Monologue: Staceyann Apparently, if the tragedy does not impact you, you don't give a fuck...
True love is never affected by color. I curb the flashes of me crashing across the table to knock his blonde skin from Manhattan to Bay to bear witness to the bloody beatings of brown boys accused of the homosexual crime of buggery...
....the men who believed being vulnerable could only them stronger...
...amidst the new fangled fads and fallacies, the New Age claims that sexual, racial and economic freedom has finally for all...
...for all the landmarks we celebrate, we are still niggers, and faggots, and minstrel references for jokes created on the funny of a white, heterosexual world
