Bubbly

Poodle-like, and often desperate to prove they (usually she) are not one of the poodle people.

1.) The girl was bubbly and full of a poodle-like energy. One of her tricks was to jump up on tables and advertise merchandise while making it look cute and cuddly. Something like mixing GNC with a dog show. Another was to show up in a soft parade marching with a band or another group.

2.) The guy couldn't relate to the bubbly girl on any level, they had nothing in common from interests to life experience. They had about as much in common as Clovis and RuPaul, or somebody like RuPaul.

Like moths to a blacklight

Flames aren't the only things that attract moths, but somehow like moths to a blacklight doesn't sound right.

Girl- Men flocked to her like moths to a blacklight. No that's no good, nobody would read something like that.

Race relations

Race relations seemed better and less divided a few years ago, back when the Confederate statues were still around. At least back then, even if they argued at times, they were still talking points. Now that the statues aren't there people are expected to forget history, change, and compromise. That won't make anything better. Before the statues were removed people said they were divisive, but race relations seemed to do well. Now that they've been removed, people really are more divided.

Race relations don't improve if people don't get to discuss history from all angles, even the unpopular (unprofitable) ones. As long as one group wants another group to change, forget, or compromise, things aren't going to get better, they're going to keep getting worse. Sometimes (actually many times throughout history) things were as good as they were going to get, then people were people, and they all fucked it all up. They were all part of the problem.

He/she was one of the people the moronic lodge liked to have at a party, though there were other people who could almost be clones of these folks that they would also have at some of the parties.
