I hope your next girlfriend is white, Tom. That way she won't be too fucking much for you. 

Queenie is a piece that made me unbelievably sad and angry. I understood intimately the struggles she went through and despaired at her seemingly endless forgiveness. But this is a story of healing and learning to cope, and it's incredibly important for us as Black people. I hope people learn a lot from this.
