25. She is speaking from a place of despair

Sat Oct 4, 2025, 04:22 PM

Oct 2025

Because the people of America have decided that the cruelty this administration is showing its citizens is okay. Black folks are tired of fighting for this country to live up to its ideals and values while white folks believe the nonsense Fox News and their evangelical preachers tell them. The elections should not be close but they vote for republicans who set the entire country back because of their racism. Oh yeah not all white people.
