Maybe it’s time to talk about white-on-white crime, the white community’s violent culture and why Caucasian America is ALWAY in its angry era

It's strange encountering British folks who feel a great deal of moral superiority for England having outlawed slavery. The government compensated slave holders for their lost human capital using revenue generated from narco-trafficking.
