All community is tired of the police statics and any other form of government and school board fill up with fear and doubts into young minds failing our youth and ruin youth innoncent by explotatating them , lying to them , and making them pay their own consequences even they the ones who planted the seeed

  9. America can send video back from Mars but can't send videos back from Muslims in Xinjiang? America bombed Muslims in Afghanistan, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Pakistan, Palestine, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Tunisia and Yemen. That's not anti-Muslim that's KKK hatred. The biggest threat to America is Americans who shoot 44 other Americans each day.

  14. HATE crimes has no place in this world. It does not solve anything.

  15. Call the African Americans, will will come to help.

  16. Hate is always more destructive to the hater than it is to the hated. So go ahead and hate all you want. Fill your life with hate. Let it consume you. It won’t serve you well
