I got it. You live ... ( 2 months ago by eutuve)

I got it. You live by a book that your god wrote. MJ. to Islam , which is another book. According to your book, he should be in real trouble by now. I live with the believe that we are mortal animals, same as some of the ones we EAT . We eat them because we have souls and they do not. Negroes were slaves because some "religious" living by a book treated them as animals. Please do not reply . Just remember my words anytime you put the slaughtered blooded remains of what was a living being.

I saw the episode of Hard Copy which was on PAX which was very new at the time the kid said then. "MJ never touched me."
The kid is in college now and he is still saying the same thing.
As for the slaves well whites were themselves slaves also before the blacks were betrayed and sold. God bless ya :) and you're right there will be no more comments

at 0:13 the lynched man is wearing the exact same uniform as all the bastards smiling and posing below him. it looks like he was a student of some sort. this is so sick. i cannot believe that CHILDREN could pose underneath this and laugh, not terrified or scared of the dead body above them. what the fuck is wrong with all these people? this is why i will never move down south. only ever lived in L.A., N.Y. and Wash D.C. , i think ill keep it that way in the US.
