Race Relations in America

Two interesting things happened to me today.

The first was the membership ambassador at Equinox asked me if I had a preference for trainer for my complimentary ‘Equifit Training Program’. I said either a cool black guy or a hot white girl I guess. I think that’s the answer most people would give but idk. She seemed satisfied with it fwiw. If I had to I would say most of my friends would answer the same way but I don’t speak for them so maybe they’ll tell me once I publish this.

The second was I was on the APTLY named L train and a young man was smoking weed and playing music from a Bluetooth speaker. I’m not too brave to say that I do find this behavior to be hmm not frightening but not exactly pleasant and certainly activates a bit of fight or flight. Or I guess in my case just flight. Then I heard J Cole come out of his Bluetooth speaker.

I have never been put so at ease in my life. Like 100 ativans dancing in my blood stream. Enjoy your joint young man. You are no threat to us.
