Even his great grandkids will never see equality in their lifetimes. I hope I'm wrong but...

And on the other hand we have Americans arguing why they can't own a fighter jet and Canon. What a shit show

Sign's probably worth a fair bit now.

Some say Simpson’s predicts the future, some say we have not actually solved any problems America has since the 70s

Cops today would arrest him for having a sign held up with a wooden stick. This shit isn't working.

The government killed every viable black leader and did everything they could to contain us in ghettos and keep us down

Now we have high crime, low academic achievement and have adopted the fear and bigotry of the people who oppressed us.
MalePatternBlackness
This all definitely could have gone better.

Sulanis
Well thought out.

sadly the corrupt scum have fought just as hard to keep their dirty power.
