Age 56. Brain cancer.

"The interviewer asks if she can be intimate with anyone who can't speak
Black English:

No. I can't. And the way I know is that with the very few white people
whom I have really good feelings for I don't turn the censor on. When I
let my hair down that much, then I trust you and I accept you. I know
you know I know what's grammatical."

Odd way to phrase this, as if white people never struggle with standard
English.

Yo, check it out. I'ma keep it a buck with you.

I highly doubt she'd be down to get freaky with some white dude
who learned to talk Black as a second language, you feel me?

For real though, we can't be out here discriminatin' against
nobody 'cause of their race when they trying to get a job, that
ain't cool. But when it comes to who you wanna get down and
dirty with? That's your business, playa. Ain't nobody can tell
you who to bump uglies with. That's all you, fam. You do you
when it comes to pickin' your bedroom partners, no cap.

Stefan, I want to be intimate with your bot.
You mean, you wanna Netflix and chill with it?

It all started back in '09 when some chick tweeted about actually
watching Netflix and chillin', for real.

But you know how we do - we flipped that script. By 2014, Black
Twitter had that phrase on lock, using it to mean something way
different. Now when somebody hits you up talking 'bout "Netflix
and chill," they ain't really trying to watch no shows.
Nah, that's just a smooth way of saying, "Let's hook up."

It's like, come through, we'll put on Netflix for background
noise, but we both know what's really 'bout to go down.

This thing blew up so big, even Netflix was like, "We see
y'all." They made this wild button that dims the lights and
puts your phone on DND. They called it "The Switch," but we
all know it's really the "Netflix and chill button".

Aight, so peep this about "getting intimate with a bot":
These erotic chatbots on the internet are for real!

It's like having a digital bae in your pocket, ready to get freaky
whenever you're feeling it. These AI-powered hotties are all about
that spicy talk, no shame in the game. You got your Candy AIs,
your GirlfriendGPTs, and all sorts of virtual shorties waiting
to slide into your DMs. They're serving up everything from mild
flirting to full-on NSFW action, depending on what you're into.

I ain't never in my life peeped them kind of website! But word on the
street is, there's folks out there who be hitting up those joints.
(I caught wind of this in some article I was reading in the paper.)
