      Aye at this point you better have that pull yourself by the bootstraps mindset we all we got. What's even funnier just a few weeks ago the Oklahoma supreme court turned down the case that would have the survivors of the Tulsa massacre compensated 🤔🤔🤔🤔 maybe that was to send a message on the idea of reparations I don't know. We are all we got here never forget that

      They are embarrassed about this. But they are not embarrassed to over sensationalize anything we do. If we rob a store they want to act like we are the worst. They have stolen this whole land. ..but they don't want to talk about that. Because stealing a land, genocide, and rape is a small crime compared to a business being burned down or being robbed.
      They will not stop talking about anything that happens to them. If somebody steals a stick of gum from them it's a terrible crime.
      Steal our land, illegally imprison us, run our land with evil Maritime Admiralty law??? Nothing to see here folks.
