A quick hood lesson, for button-pushers and habitual line-steppers

A meme, borrowed from Black Twitter, circa 2020

LANGUAGE WARNING (in case the above meme didn’t make that clear)

This essay is not an attempt to defend, excuse, or justify Will Smith’s actions during the Academy Award telecast. He doesn’t need me to do that. Doesn’t pay me to do it. I don’t know the man personally, and I’m not co-signing a thing.
