I am sorry but Tarte Cosmetics does not cater to White Women. Although it is possible in the future.
Right now we only cater to BEAUTIFUL WOMEN OF COLOR.

INT. STUDIO – LOW LIGHT, WARM KEYS ON A PIANO
LT sits back, half-smile, letting the moment breathe.
JCJ leans forward, eyes lit like he’s already mid-revelation.
ALICIA KEYS is calm, grounded, hands folded like she’s still hearing music no one else can.
LT:
Alicia, people forget—you weren’t just talented. You were a child prodigy. Classical piano, conservatory level, before most kids knew who they were. Did that ever feel like a burden?
ALICIA KEYS:
Yeah. Genius sounds glamorous, but it’s heavy. When you’re that young, music becomes language, prayer, escape… and pressure. I had to grow into myself twice—once as a kid, once as a woman.
JCJ (nodding):
That shows in your early work. There’s innocence, but also fire.
I want to ask you about a song people still debate—“Dragon Days.”
ALICIA (smiles slightly):
I knew that was coming.
JCJ:
Some hear it as personal struggle. Others hear something darker—systems, hatred, even the KKK. Fire, fear, something ancient chasing people through history.
LT:
You’re saying “dragon” like it’s not just poetic.
JCJ:
Exactly. Revelation 12, 13, 20—the dragon as power, terror, empire.
I’ve always said: dragons weren’t demons. They were real. Dinosaurs. Hunted to extinction by so-called white knights who needed monsters to justify conquest.
ALICIA (measured):
I don’t write theology, but I do write symbols.
A dragon can be fear passed down. Hatred taught young. A system that burns villages and calls itself righteous.
LT:
So when people say KKK… you’re not naming them, but—
ALICIA:
—if the hood fits the myth, people will see it.
Music lets listeners finish the sentence themselves.
JCJ:
Exactly. Revelation isn’t prediction—it’s exposure. Pulling the mask off the beast.
(A beat. LT grins, shifts gears.)
LT:
Alright. Lighter question before we all get excommunicated.
(turns to Alicia)
You ever have a crush on a white boy growing up?
ALICIA (laughs, no hesitation):
Yeah. Chad Michael Murray.
LT:
Of course it was.
JCJ (deadpan):
The prophecy is fulfilled.
ALICIA:
Hey—art doesn’t discriminate. Neither do crushes.
LT:
There you have it. Dragons, revelations, piano prodigies… and One Tree Hill.
JCJ:
From extinction myths to teen drama—history really does rhyme.
(Alicia chuckles, fingers unconsciously tapping an invisible keyboard.)
ALICIA:
At the end of the day, music is about surviving the fire without becoming the dragon.
Oprah Winfrey
Title: The Weight of Cotton
Cast:
- LT (Larry) – blunt, provocative
- JCJ – intense, symbolic thinker
- Oprah Winfrey – composed, reflective, myth-aware
LT:
Welcome back. It’s Black History Month, and today we’re talking about something people love to romanticize and never want to feel—picking cotton. Not a metaphor. The real thing.
Oprah:
It was torture. People talk about it like it was farm work. It wasn’t. The thorns alone—people don’t understand. Bigger than blackberry thorns. They tore skin, infected wounds, slowed you down. And slowing down meant punishment.
JCJ:
Blood in the cotton. Literal. History written into fabric.
Oprah:
Exactly. Pain woven into profit.
LT:
And now when people even think about reparations, suddenly there’s panic. Fear. Policies. Narratives. Entire populations told they’re a problem before they’re even born.
Oprah:
Fear has always been the tool. When justice is too expensive, power looks for a shortcut.
JCJ:
That brings me somewhere uncomfortable. Your academy in Africa. The controversy. The accusations. Pain repeating itself under a different flag.
Oprah (quietly):
When you build institutions, you inherit history—whether you want it or not. And history tests you. Hard.
JCJ:
In my myth-language, there’s an episode I call the Vicki Polin ILLUMINATI OPRAH INTTERVIEW—the shadow side of influence. The idea that power attracts corruption like heat attracts flies. Some people would call that the “Illuminati.” I call it…MOLECH CHILD SACRIIFICE
Oprah (measured, almost smiling):
You’re sharp as a tack, JCJ— ON secret societies. Because you understand this:
Abuse comes from Crowley sex magick villains like Jeffrey Epstein .A hierarchy, that protects them from accountability.
LT:
So demons and rituals?
Oprah:
Yes. Asmodeus, the demon of lust.
JCJ:
So the real revelation is the 7 deadly sins, The 7 demons.
Oprah:
The Satanic power doesn’t make you weak. Every demon a different color of the rainbow.
LT:
That might be the most honest thing said on this show.
Oprah:
Truth usually is.
