Hi Suntou,

That's what they've always done and will certainly continue to do, call for
harsher punishment and try to stifle substance in debates pertaining to
racial issues.

Why is it that young minorities all across the West feel so alienated?
They'll forever try to continue to address the symptoms and not the causes.
Addressing the causes will bring home the bitter truth they never want their
children to hear, thus the lies...

Regards,

Kabir.
