Why is everything you tweet/report about race and sex? SAD!
Lol....and even though black isn’t a color or race, some parent is going to be proud of their kid getting this?
Is it really necessary to write 'white'? If it was black would it be fine? You should not instigate hate.
Race is not the issue. That is all the media propagates because it sells the news
