We Need to Talk About "Pain Equity," Apparently

Take two Advil and cancel me in the morning

Speaking as a white person — Boo! Hiss! — I realize I’m personally responsible for every bad thing that has ever happened to black people in the history of the world.

Slavery? That’s on me.

The death of George Floyd? My bad.

The continued global ubiquity of Taylor Swift? Mea culpa.

And now, thanks to the makers of Advil, I realize I’m to blame for yet another problem plaguing African-Americans: headaches.

Friends, I just visited believemypain.com, and it really opened my eyes. My racist, sexist, ageist eyes.
