went to a brand new salon and i was nervous. it was nice we were talking about why biracial children with white moms are so maladjusted, then we started talking about why so many black men date white women who dont do the work to educated themsleves on raising a black child, THEN (im getting to it) i pulled out a quote from the book (i was finishing it for tomorrow) about how the colonized man desires the colonizer position in society his job his house his wife, ect. we ended up talking about the book for a good bit before we went back to shit talking white people. it was fun, they all kept telling my what job they thought I should have.they were very nice, they want me to run for public office. I told them I used to want that too but id prefer to do labor organizing to put power directly in the hands of the people and i got a chorus of agreement. the absolutely did try to convert me to christianity but they were nice about it. and its not a salon experience if someone doesn't try to convert me. i even mention ive dated a white woman when we were talking about how crazy they were and no one batted an eye. no one even tried to make me get a more feminine hairstyle too. they were being mean to this autistic women, so that sucked so i talked with her until they separated us but i got her number, she a lot younger (not a minor) but seems nice. I told them i was autistic too and they tried to tell me i had Aspergers but i explained all of that to them and they got it. so all in all a lot better than the transphobe who made me feel unsafe last time.

      i will say one woman from togo did not say anything so hopefully i didnt say anything wrong. she was really focused on her work though. she saw the book and said "i know that book" and didnt talk too much after. could be a cultural difference. she did laugh at my joke about the french!!
