Black Trump Supporters Are Weird ASF
Photo by http://www.insider.com Now that the dust has settled, I can address the Johnny Come Lately Trump supporter syndrome infecting Black people across America from the elites to the not-so-elite.

Another argument is that Black peopleContinueContinue reading “To the Anti-Looters: Shut Up”

Ex-Officer Amber Guyger Found Guilty: The Quiet Before the Storm

Black lives in this country are undervalued inContinueContinue reading “Ex-Officer Amber Guyger Found Guilty: The Quiet Before the Storm”
