You Hate the wrong people, You hate the Wrong History, Because you hate yourself.

      Drexel Rivers All BLM “donations” go straight to Act Blue. Which is dispersed to Democrat politicians. Candace Owens proved that, All Democrats have to do to increase their campaign coffers is to tell the media they control to push white on black crime. And send racial division into a frenzy. Democrats use the black population just like they used the black population centuries ago. Playin them for suckers.

      Ashley Campbell because he’s pure being misguided by bad role models like these clowns . All they do is rap about despair . Bitches, drugs , gang violence and now they’re following their new masters promising this bullshit on defunding police . Hate for the president , while crimes spike, defund the police is about pensions and social security . Sad how she died but she’s selling drugs , and George Floyd shouldn’t have gave the police a hard time lying to his family on meth where he has no business being , shouldn’t have rubbed a pregnant woman at gun point. You don’t see BLM going to abortion clinics
