Sad we’re still dealing with racism shits for the birds

As if slavery and racism weren't huge in almost every single now-1st-world country. You guys crazy as hell staying hung up on a problem that statistically exists in near-trace amounts.

It’s lit up north pay your taxes and no racism

😢😢😢😢

Lumpsum reparations of a generous kind will,of course,wipe out the original sin for at least a year.
