Social justice is injustice.
Don’t you know? Trump has been openly blaming blacks for USA misfortunes for decades! Were it not for that, St. George would be home with his family. /s
Good Post. Thank you.
It’s a total lynch mob mentality from a part of society that claims to be experts on the topic of lynch mobs. They’re re-enacting the behavior of mobs they claim terrorized their ancestors.
