#SeeSomeDC: "Are you only tall on TV?"

demetria lucas June 21, 2016

n recent developments of Demetria's on TV and things are straight weird...

I was in the suburbs all last week. I went to Starbucks everyday. It's a black Starbucks. Black-owned? Probably, given the area. All the patrons are black and at least 45. 

I order a latte. Takes 5 minutes tops in NYC. Takes at least 12-15 at this Starbucks. Whatever. There's another Starbucks farther away with faster service, but I'm not getting on the highway to go to Starbucks. 

So, I sit to wait for my drink. There are a couple women sitting at the counter talking to the guy making drinks. There are another pair of women standing at the counter waiting. 

I'm in my phone. 

Black blond, sitting, talking to woman who I thought she knew, but doesn't: Girl. The best hush puppies were a Chesapeake Bay Seafood House. 

Random woman: what's that?

#SeeSomeDC: "If the sign says no swimming, then why you wading?"

demetria lucas June 17, 2016

So I'm in the suburbs. 

I go to Starbucks every afternoon. There's a patio with a nice breeze. I sit outside and look at the parking lot because that's the view.

Anyway, there's a group of adults that gather everyday. Or about everyday. They've been here every day I've been here. I'd say they're late 40s/early 50s. All black. I've adjusted the appx ages for melanin. 

It's four core guys, and one woman, and then some others that drift in and out. All parents. 

They show up to argue LOUDLY about the news. Yesterday and today they are arguing about the alligator incident at Disney and the Gorilla incident in Cinci.
