All the pages are white. That just proves they’re racist...

Maybe we should re-publish all books on black paper, with white ink?

Now I've got that darn Three Dog Night song in my head.

Public libraries in urban locales are just playgrounds for bums.

If she’s mad about white people’s books “physically taking up space” in “our” (black people’s?) libraries, she should check out airports, road signs & libraries in Africa.

Everything written anywhere is written in European & Asiatic languages. That’s because sub-Saharan Africans had developed no alphabets or written languages of their own.

American slaves, when they arrived here, simply did not write until white people gave them an alphabet & taught them how.

You would be correct.
Zimbabwe= Rhodesia= Cecil Rhodes = that white guy who brought writing & modernity, & whose statue must be torn down.

Uganda= I dont know specifics, but essentially same idea.

Unfortunately in all to much of America today that is true.
Don’t want to get caught “ACTING WHITE” you know.

Just seems strange to me, most of the best knowledge is in books, and last time I checked KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.

Leung’s a Marxist, pure and simple. Treat her as the enemy because she is.
