But I don't understand how you can go to church on Sunday and say, I'm a good Christian. I love the Lord. Oh, hallelujah, God, whatever. And then you applaud and you sit in front of the television and you salivate over people in shackles and their heads being shaved, like they're on an auction block, like the slaves, like they used to do. The slaves, except there were with the slaves in America. Let's be honest that you're trying to get rid of that history not not shown in schools, and taking down Colin Powells. And they all kinds of bullshit. And you say, why, I don't believe that there's a big faction of the Maga party that's racist. And you are firing or getting rid of black generals. You're taking Colin Powells name down or likeness. You're getting rid of diversity, equity and inclusion programs. You're not. You don't want to teach black history in your schools because it makes people feel bad. Like, how is that not racist ? Let's not pretend that. Oh yeah, I hate this false. Like pretending like, Well, you know, let's give him the benefit of the doubt. Know when people have showed you who they are. I know it's cliche, believed them, But why give him the benefit of the doubt. Why do we keep giving people chances when they keep showing us that they are frick ? They're fucking bigots. So don't go and sit in church on Sunday and pretend to be this Christian person that is supposed to live up to some ideal that apparently you don't believe in. It's false. It's fake. Because like the last time I checked it was Judge not. Last time I checked, you're supposed to treat human beings as human humane. Last time I checked, you're supposed to do unto others. Last time I checked, you're supposed to help your fellow man. But is that what you're doing ? Maga right now ? Is that what you're doing ? Share, believe, inspire blacks, be.
