Comic-con must figure there’s money to be made in hating white people.

The black community has created hellholes in many of our older beautiful cities.

Shame on them.

Seeing the truth, speaking the truth does NOT make 65 million Americans into racists...

Eff Hollywood.

DOA, we refuse to watch or support this anti white, racist PROPAGANDA thinly disguised as “entertainment”.
