The obvious answer is to train them to run over more white people.

And Asians too.

Just to be fair.

Was there a /s after this? I’m having problems dealing neopolitan ice cream. Do I eat the strawberry first, the chocolate, or the vanilla? This is messing with my apple pie and the root beer floats. This racist shitz is getting old.

That’s why they have to wear all those chains and make their eyes bug out. So the Teslas don’t hit them. Life is just unfair to black people. No wonder they’re always rioting.

Honestly, if I was a normal black American these days, I would constantly cringe at the Libs’ insulting, incessant pandering that treats me like an idiot child.
