What the fuck is an innocent lie? That shit don’t exist. But that’s what they do…they make stuff benefit them. They stole this land, then made it illegal to steal. They murdered all them damn Native Americans and then made murder illegal. They lie, but when they lie, it’s okay. Everybody else lies and it’s perjury.

And all they can say is black women are too difficult to be with. What kinda weak beta male shit is that?”
