Alright I see you're just trolling now lol. My bad.
What seems like trolling to me is pretending to care about racism when all you're really doing is jumping into a human centipede of unoriginal ideas that make the problem worse. Why does anyone actually care what a comedian says at a political rally. This is the 10th worst thing these people have said this week.
This country doesn't give a fuck about the Puerto Ricans, they show it with the policies, their business practices, their racist subjugation and disregard for their culture. But yeah the dude who makes joke to tear people down is the problem. Do I need to also tell you that white supremacists are also invited to proud boys rally, that's waters wet and fires hot. Big fucking shock this whole thing is.
This whole thread is people just saying stuff so that the other people will agree with them and wait for validation. It's a travesty of modern human adaptation and it's going to get a whole lot worse before it gets better.
Wow bro that's crazy. I'm sorry that happened or didn't happen to you.
Sorry to wake you, it's okay just go back to sleep.
