    Hey, I have no sympathy for people who do BSD to each other. That's just vile sexual abnormality! 🤢

    When did non-white people ever have those in america? Those are privileges afforded to those of a certain melanin composition, not all americans equally. People who thought they benefited from so-called 'universal' liberties are quickly finding out that it was never universal to begin with. "Rights" have never been "universal" guarantees for American people. Not once in the history of this nation have rights been 'universally' applied. They have been case-by-case applied, and often people of a certain melanin composition benefited from the 'universal right' while others don't have the 'universal' aspect of those rights applied to them. This is not a coincidence and it is beneficial to no one to think it's just a coincidence—well at least it's not beneficial to anyone worth benefiting.

    "All men are created equal"... except those ones over there
