How can a original black man be a coon &sell out? You best look deep into my words &make an assessment. Do you still think pork is healthy?

I don't expect agreement with everything I say. I speak honestly from my own perspective &evaluation from my space time experience.

I could never condone police brutality or any form of injustice and oppression. Knowledge of self means studying self to improve self. Peace
