Was that the last time you almost interacted with a black person?

Nah it was way before that. A less threatening white worker had to relay the story to Ant.

(just playin, Ant, I'm sure that you talk to the blacks all the time)

I usually use "African Americans" when I'm being all uppity about politics and "mah n***as" when it's a casual conversation.

I'm sure the feeling is mutual.

Yeah because you're prejudiced and narrowminded.

Who is we? I have more than a few racist bones in my body but I'd rather talk to an uneducated black person with a hood stereotype name who has actual personality than some white person who shares some of my interests but is boring middle class trash. I mean I feel like an alien where ever I go and don't connect with 99.9% of anybody so as long as we can share some laughs and talk some fun **** together I don't much care who you are, how you speak, or how you dress. Just entertain me and I'm good cause I wasn't expecting even that much from you anyway.

As I suspected this film is a great critique of neoliberal bull**** and pretend environmentalism. It’s incontrovertible. You can’t corporate solution your way out of greed. Deforestation isn’t “renewable” and I know this gets people’s panties in a wad but 8 Billion is simple an unsustainable number of people. There’s no innovating around that fact.
