Dear reader:
A political satire of "woke" white people, particularly woke white women. Definitely not to everyone's taste.
Intended to be humorous.
Skip if offended by the notion of a white gal mind-controlling her white boyfriend to service a black dude.
But quaff heartily if the idea gets you hot.
Adam

SCENE 1
[Setting: A spacious but dimly lit college student's apartment somewhere in a large city. Secondhand ratty sofa, old comfy chairs, bean bags everywhere. On a tired coffee table are an array of ashtrays, pot pipes, and bongs. On the walls are large, costly posters of Che Guevara, Mumia Abu-Jamal, Tupac Shakur, etc. Cinderblock-and-plank bookshelves heavily freighted with books on Cultural Studies, Feminist, Queer, and Transgender Theory.]
[Sitting close together on the sofa are AMY and DIJON. AMY is mid-20s, white, pale, skinny, her blonde tresses in thick, long dreadlocks. She wears a tie-dyed tank top, cargo shorts, and hipster thick-rimmed glasses. DIJON is also mid-20s, so black he has blue undertones, shiny bald, and tall. He is built like a brick shithouse.]
[AMY and DIJON kiss. DIJON's jeans are unzipped, and AMY slowly jacks an elephantine cock. His precum runs down her glazed hand. They are in the beginnings of foreplay.]
[At stage left, a door opens and TIM walks in. TIM is in his early 30s, white, bespectacled, slender, with long auburn hair tied back in a ponytail.]
Tim: Okay, got your quinoa, babe. Next time, can you put it—
[TIM freezes. AMY and DIJON continue foreplay.]
Tim: What the FUCK!
Amy [still jacking Dijon]: Oh, babe! You know Dijon, right? Dijon Boom, from down the hall?
Dijon: 'sup.
Tim: I was gone ten minutes! What are you doing?
Dijon [grinning]: She playin' with my Boom Stick.
Amy: Get it? His name is Dijon Boom, and this is his Boom Stick.
Tim: Okay, you've just ruined that movie for me.
Amy [waggles Dijon's cock]: Why don't you come over and join us?
Tim: What?
Amy: Why not? Look at this thing. It's huge. And he brought us some weed.
Dijon: Good stuff, man. My cousin's a cop, got it from him. Cops have the best stuff.
Tim: Amy, can I talk to you a moment? Over here?
Amy [to DIJON]: Be right back, lover.
[AMY leans over to deliver a huge, slobbery kiss to DIJON's cockhead. Then she walks over to TIM, licking the precum from her hand.]
Tim: Okay, that's gross.
Amy: You're being homophobic, babe. It's not very "woke."
Tim: My girlfriend is licking some guy's jizz from her hand.
Amy [disgusted]: I'm not "your" girlfriend, like property. And it's not "jizz," it's "precum." And calling him "that guy"? You're assuming his gender—
Tim: He's a guy! You just said "his"!
Amy [eyeroll]: I asked first if he was a guy. He affirmed his gender. We've discussed this—
Tim: God, here we go.
Amy: And then the impersonal determiner "that guy" objectifies him—
Tim [head in hands]: Can't fucking believe this—
Amy: The racist, imperialist gaze. I thought we'd come so far.
Tim: Amy, I left for 10 minutes to get something you forgot to get. I come back and you're jacking off some strange guy in our apartment.
Amy: He's not "strange," Tim! He's a cis-gender male of East African descent. Your castrating fear of his Otherness is pathetic.
Dijon [calling over]: Hey, we gonna do this or what?
Tim [to AMY]: Do what?
Amy: I told Dijon you'd blow him.
Tim: WHAT?
Dijon: C'mon, white boy. Suck on my Boom Stick. Surely a big, strong man like you isn't afraid of a little "Boom-Boom."
Tim [aghast]: Another movie, ruined.
Amy: Yeah! Doesn't that sound hot? And transgressive?
Tim: But I'm straight!
Amy: That's what makes it transgressive! And sexuality is a spectrum, anyway.
Tim: And I'm on the straight, straight end of the spectrum.
Amy: That's internalized homophobia. Free your mind, and your asshole will follow.
Tim: This is crazy. Everyone said you were nuts.
Amy [indignant]: What, because I'm a Dolezal-American?
Tim: Stop it. You're a white girl from Atlanta. Your last name is "Lee," your granddad was a grand wizard, and your parents BOTH voted for—
Amy: Don't say his name!
Tim: You are not black! There's nothing wrong with being black, but you are not black! Blonde dreads, orange skin toner—
Amy: How DARE you question my identity!
Dijon [rising from the sofa, his flaccid cock hanging]: Sweet boy here giving you problems, baby?
Tim: Will you please put that thing away?
Amy: That "thing" has a name. Stop objectifying it!
Tim: It's a penis!
Amy: "Penis" is a Eurocentric, medicalizing, normative term meant to pathologize bodies in a discursive web of discipline—
Tim [turns to leave]: I'm out.
Amy: Not until you suck his cock! You owe him!
Tim: How do I owe him anything?
Amy: As a member of the colorless community, your duty is to make it up to him. For IT.
Tim: "IT"? What "IT" do I have to make up?
Amy: Don't make me say it. It's such an ugly word.
Tim: What the fuck are you saying?
Amy: Jesus. You know. You owe him for . . . [whispers] . . . avery-slay.
Tim: Avery-slay . . . oh, COME ON!
Amy: It'd be a wonderful, healing gesture.
Tim: I didn't have anything to do with that! Even my ancestors didn't! I'm a second-generation Lithuanian!
Amy [haughtily]: Insofar as you insist on identifying as a white, heterocis male, you've inherited the privileges as well.
Dijon: Look. I don't give a shit about this politics crap. I'm just a guy, I'm just curious, I just want my Boomstick sucked. This gonna happen or what?
Amy [faces DIJON]: Of course it's going to happen—
[TIM stalks out stage left and slams the door. AMY is aghast. DIJON is amused.]
Dijon [grinning]: Guess it's just gonna be you then, white girl.
Amy [grimacing]: Don't be stupid. Fellatio is inherently degrading. As is any act of penetration of a woman's body. I'm not about to succumb to the demands of patriarchy's rape culture.
Dijon [zipping up]: You a crazy chick. You know?
Amy [fearful]: Get out. Don't make me call the police. You know what they do to us people of color.
Dijon: "Us" . . . crazy bitch.
[DIJON departs, stage left. AMY sullenly flounces on the sofa and grabs the bong.]
Amy: Fucking Tim. Typical straight, white male.
[As AMY takes another hit from the bong, the scene freezes.]
[SPOKESWOMAN Voice Over]: Ladies, is this familiar? Abandoned because of your beliefs? Condemned to loneliness because the males in your life aren't as "woke" as you?
[SPOKESWOMAN walks in, stands in front of still image. She is in her late 20s, has long, black, lustrous hair, and full, red lips. She wears a white T-shirt and hiphugger jeans.]
Spokeswoman: You don't have to be a Social Justice Spinster. LoveLock is here to help you bear the burden of the past.
[Bottom of screen: LoveLock logo, url, and 1-800 number.]
Spokeswoman: Just watch how our friend's situation could have turned out had she planned ahead and given little Timmy the gift of a LoveLock spa weekend.
SCENE 2
[Return to the start: AMY and DIJON are on the sofa, engaged in foreplay. TIM enters stage left.]
Tim: Okay, got your quinoa, babe. Next time, can you put it—
[TIM freezes. AMY and DIJON continue foreplay.]
Tim: What the FUCK!
[AMY releases DIJON and hops toward TIM. A large, bright, silver key on a necklace bounces against her chest.]
Amy [hugs TIM]: Lover!
Tim [pushes AMY away]: What the hell is going on?
Amy [smirking]: Let me show you. . . .
[AMY shows TIM the key, which reflects light onto his face.]
Tim [dazed]: Whu—what is that?
Amy: Silly. You got it at that LoveLock retreat, remember? Where I sent you for your birthday?
Tim [dimly]: Uhh—whu—I don't—
Amy: Keep looking at the key. It'll come back to you.
[AMY keeps flickering the light from the key over TIM's slackening face. The quinoa drops from his hands.]
Amy: Whoopsy-doopsy, lover. You're getting clumsy.
Tim [distantly]: . . . sorry.
Amy: It's okay. Just keep looking at the key. Let it take you away.
[Moments pass. All tension leaves TIM's body. DIJON's cock grows flaccid.]
Dijon: My Boomstick ain't gonna suck itself.
Amy: Be patient. Almost there. Right, little boy?
Tim [nodding]: Yes. There.
Amy: Good boy. Now for the finishing word. You ready, baby? Ready to hear the Word? Of Truth?
Tim: Yeah . . . good to go—
[AMY leans in and whispers a single word in TIM's ear. TIM blinks, straightens, and reawakens.]
Amy: How you feeling, lover? Ready to do your duty?
Tim [brightly]: Yes'm. Please let Timmy do his duty.
Dijon: What'd you say to him?
Amy: Tell you later. Go to, Timmy. Go make it up to Dijon, real good.
[TIM, now TIMMY, drops to all fours, crawls to DIJON, and pulls himself up on the couch. He grips the base of DIJON's oversized cock and starts licking it. AMY sits on DIJON's other side and plays with his ear.]
Dijon [groaning]: Oh, fuck. Wow. Yeah.
Amy: You like?
