Paul Beatty Quote

These are the women my father warned me about. The drug-and-asshole-addled women who sit in the dark, hard up and lovesick, chainsmoking cigarettes, phones pressed to their ears, speed-dialing K-Earth 101 FM, the oldies station, so they can request Nina Simone or the Shirelles' This is Dedicated to the One I Love, aka This Is Dedicated to Niggers That Beat Me Senseless and Leave. Stay away from bitches who love Nina Simone and have faggots for best friends, he'd say. They hate men.
