@@zaziedabeast9692 yeah your the moron here thinking i meant anything about the black community being democrats. Why is it that in the years of civil rights stride the single mother rate went from 20-70? Ohhhhh because black people were told they would be helped by these programs if they did what? Got rid of the man. And why is it in these democratic cities you have these “projects “ and “ public housing” that are infested in crime? Its all to keep the black person down and youre an idiot if you dont see it you truly are an imbecile

You mean it was afraid to give handouts to lazy criminals and rightfully so apparently. As soon as blacks moved in they destroyed the place, can't be around anything nice without destroying it. It has nothing to do with melanin and everything to do with culture. Mainstream American Black culture is straight garbage and promotes nothing but a trashy parasitic existence. Even more tragic, outstanding black people in America and ridiculed by their own people and put down simply for being honorable and truly successful. Every other black culture around the world carries themselves with dignity, most American blacks love to wallow in their own internal and external filth however.

Once again another bullshit excuse too not take accountability and to justify why blk ppl are trash. Of course it's not the culture and the way u people are thinking and behaving and treating one another thats the reason but it's the bad racist energy from the World's Fair that causes yall to kill each other and commit crimes?
