Question: Do you direct similar comments toward White people who call Black people Niggers and Monkeys, or do you read the comments with a blind eye and a sleepy tongue. Race only matters when it is used against us, and believe me Youtubers use it against us all the time. Only a fool would sit back and do or say nothing. We have the right to straighten them out. Sorry, if you were offended. BTW, I love White people and all people.

Thanks, I thinks its about time we look at them more. They always seem to point the finger at us. US and them means ALL PEOPLE WHO ARE NON WHITE!

@KemChronic You should be happy to be Black. To have pride in ones race is a positive thing. Unfortunately though, you personally are quite clearly insane.

[TheGentlemanGhoul]

@KemChronic What is this drivel? You're like a cartoon character created by White supremacists in order to make Black people look like complete dim-witted idiots. You take the uneducated, paranoid, superstitious Negro stereotype to the extreme. You must walk around in a daze. I'm quite honestly astounded that you have the brain power to even type words.
