Steve and a thirty-ish black woman are talking.
She: "... but _we_ are taking care of the baby."
He : "So, _you_ are taking care of the baby."
She : No, Steve. _WE_ are taking taking care of the baby."
If you don't get it it, then you have no business pretending to be a

come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
