I’m about to do something that is probably a terrible idea. I’m about to talk about STIs. I’m not a doctor. I am familiar with how things said on the internet are quoted out of context or read without full comprehension. I feel like these things need to be said anyway.

Kiki? So-so.
Claire: I don't quite understand this dream. Is this a kiki?
Loki: No. This is an intervention. Sit down.
Bane: You're attracted to power and strength and evil. It will only lead to your destruction.
Claire: C'mon, I'm attracted to you because you're attractive. Be real.
Loki: No, you be real. You're rationalizing. This is serious business.
Bane: Our kind doesn't deserve you. We're Villains. We don't do pocketsquares or froyo.
Loki: Speak for yourself, I practically live at pinkberry.
Claire: Yeah, you spill that T, honey.
Loki: For the last time, this is not a kiki! Look, there are totally passable Good Guys here. Take Captain America, for example.
Claire: Would that I could. Way out of my league.
Loki: Yeah, well. Get your act together and maybe you could.
Bane: Loki that's not fair. He's like, the perfect man.
Loki: You wanted a kiki and now you've got a kiki, alright? I'm dishing desserts. If you can't handle the T, you shouldn't have come.
Claire: I guess I only thought I wanted a kiki...
Bane: Everybody does, honey. Everybody does.

Coates’s article — called “Fear of a Black President” — looks back at Obama’s 2008 campaign, and his pledge to reckon with race.
