In 2003, Sinafasi Makelo, a representative of Mbuti pygmies, told the UN's Indigenous People's Forum that during the Congo Civil War, his people were hunted down and eaten as though they were game animals.

Doesn't matter what race I am. You would still call me a racist anyways, whether I say I am italian, asian, or german, etc. Black were treated horribly. I get that. But that doesn't mean they should bring up the race card every chance they get. It isn't right, and is really unfair to constantly use that as their defense. Of course racism against blacks still exists. I have seen it, and feel bad. But I hardly believe race is ALWAYS the case.

I really want to know mother fucker.

Ask ur sister what she feel after to have inside her a black pennis

[psakai09]

shut the fuck up. I am not white, and this had nothing to do with racism. Even the black officers of the police took his side. Obama is the dumb nut here, that was one heck of an apology Mr. President.

You're just a fucking and stupid white man who don't really know what he was to do of his life. For that, you say that is because of the immigrants that you cannot work.
