Should blacks be allowed to tell “white stories”?? I think the left would have an immediate fatal aneurysm if you suggested not, so that then implies the answer to this question.

Of course not. And blacks shouldn't be allowed to play basketball -- let alone make money off it -- because it was 100% invented by a white man.

Come to think of it, they shouldn't be allowed to drive, buy or sell cars either.

And don't even get me started on indoor plumbing and electrical power.

Shouldn’t it be Democrats telling the stories of their bondage of Blacks, their war to keep them in bondage, and subsequently their manipulation of them?
