THE SHARPTON EFFECT This from a black woman in her mid-30s on the L train just moments ago: (screamed at nobody in particular) "You have no idea! You have no idea! But Al Sharpton does. Sharpton knows! Y'all better listen. Even I don't know! But I do know about them Apple Bottom jeans and the peach fuzz." [At this point she sang "Low" by rapper Flo Rida while clapping off-beat and staring menacingly at everyone.]

    I know this lady, I'm pretty sure she yelled "this is not my black claw life" over and over to me and fellow riders and then called us biatches. It's poetry.

    Ride the bus in Maryland some time. You can see the woman who swings from the overhead bars singing "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles".
