This guy will profusely apologize in 3...2...1...

Around here, all the Hispanic gangsta bangstas have tattoos in Olde English. Things like ‘Brown Pride’ and ‘Princess’.
Look out White Castle
Its a shame that if he was black as the ace of spades his OG~ness would be legendary.
It’s just a Gothic font, not even fraktur. Wokesters are like a mob of ignorant middle school children.
Why is it called “white boy”? Isn’t that racist?
