Catching Feelings Page #3

Quickest way to lose your cash.

And you know nothing about beer.

Besides, money's pretty tight in my life.

- Might even have to sell the house.

- That's heavy.

- Why not ask your brother to bail you out?

- No.

You're crazy. I'm not asking

my little brother for cash.

Are you serious?

I don't think you comprehend

how big he is.

Rolling Stone have him on their list

of most promising acts of the year.

Is it local Rolling Stone? It must be.

Hating on your own blood?

No. Hating on your own blood?

Write another book.

You'll get a fat advance.

Everything will be sorted.

- It's a local Rolling Stone, right?

- What difference does it make?

And as the sun was setting,

casting a golden glow over the garrison,

he emerged from the hole covered in dust,

carrying her lifeless body.

He dropped the body.

He turned to them

and he said what he had said before.

He cocked his Glock,

and he said, "Let this be a lesson

to all y'all swarm of b*tches.

I said this before.

I'm gonna say it again.

You can't make a ho a housewife.

And if any of y'all beg to differ,

you can suck on these nuts."

Boom!

Thanks.

Thanks, Mr. Edwards. That was...

expletive-ridden to say the least.

And there's a complete looting

of Hollywood lines and...

verses from rap songs.

The piece is meant to be an adaptation

of various things

which serve the same theme.

Like a meta-adaptation, if you may.

Okay.

What does everybody else think?

- Mr. Khumalo, take it away.

- You know...

I'm offended. You know?

The rampant use of the N word.

N word this, N word that.

It's an N word festival in here.

- What's happening?

- That was used in context, I assure you.

These characters would say that.

Anybody else?

Ms. Mogale, what do you think?

Ms. Mogale's my mother. It's Kabelo.

Touch.

What did you think, Kabelo?

I thought it sucks.

Is that all we're going to get? It sucked?

It's just such an obvious example

of cultural appropriation,

with no sense of irony.

It's like you thought we'd forget

that you're a white male

using your privilege

to exploit black culture.

I'm mean... it's unacceptable.

While taking liberties to drop a few

N bombs here and there. We see you.

All right, cool.

Let's pick on the white guy, right?

Let's pick on the white guy.

Okay, guys. Let's pick it up next time.

Thank you very much.

Mr. Matshane. Sorry, I mean, Max.

I wanted to say thatBlossoms of the Roses

is my favorite book.

It's the reason

I wanted to become a writer.

Just really beautiful and layered

and kind of amazing.

Thanks, I appreciate that.

This is something I've been working on

for a while now.

- All right.

- Your feedback would mean everything.
