My Comments: If you are white, black, brown, pink or whatever the hell you claim, this is the shit you should be worried about. The rich are protected, they are your government and they could give a fat baby’s ass whether you have health care, dying from drug overdose in Appalachia in your rundown mobile home or gunshots in ghetto streets.
But I ramble – what I really intend to say is this – listen up my so called “white” brethren – the rich folks who pander to your ignorance, with nasty racism and bigotry, will grind your neck into the ground. I don’t really give two shits if you believe me or not, but look at the numbers – your numbers are trending down – your life expectancy in trending south – who is responsible for that? Our country is ruled by the rich – how are they working for you? And yeah a self proclaimed rich “white/orange” rapist starts swearing and you call it authenticity (he is mimicking what he sees as your language) – welcome to the world as the top 0.1% concentrate wealth and power.
Black folks have been living in this hell for a long time now – we are a hardy people and we are not going anywhere. We won’t help to carry your body to it’s final rest, if you don’t give a shit right now. Keep it moving.
