My best friend’s birthday is Juneteeth.

Union soldiers in the 1860s should have claimed their white privilege and left the army.

She couldn't host a children's game of 'Candyland' or 'Chutes and Ladders'.

Who’s going to be the first transgender to host? The first from a throuple? The first pregnant “male”? Think of the possibilities.

I thought she was terrible. However, the game flew by because she spoke so fast like an automaton. . Ken Jennings was a rockstar compared to Katie.
