They they they.

You are you as I am I.

Neither were born then yet can you not see why the freeman of your race fought with my race against the kings of the World?

No?

Ok.

Men do not deserve to be free when they only rely on wordsprinted on paper to protect their freedom.

At least I still have the constitution

( that black and brown America overwhelmingly disagree with the first and second amendments )

At least you have the Civil rights bill.

At least WE have all that eh Canada?

Are you laughing smiling or crying in the World WE live in today?
