    "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.

    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.)
