Rickey Smiley is kicking off the week with a bit of a conversation starter. The comedian and radio personality shared a quote Monday morning (Feb. 17), and it’s stirred up plenty of mixed responses.

Rickey Smiley shared a meme that reads,

“Black boy: I wanto wear locks to school

Society: Suspended!!! No graduation THUG!!! 

Black boy: How about a dress?

Society: (heart, applause, nail painting and celebration emojis)

#SocialEngineering”
