    White guilt is allowing black people to accummulate privileges. Black History Month, Black Entertainment TV, Black Netflix, Black National Anthem, Martin Luther King day, Kwanzaa, Black Love day (Feb 13th), African Countries Indepenence day, Dashiki Friday, Isese Lagba. Now they want Juneteenth? Where does it end? No other minority has all these holidays nor do they need them. Black people exploit white guilt to their advantage and have privileges that other races do not.

    JF: “Restaurant reviewer” Amiable response: “Yeah, you name it. I am always down for a free meal.” He’s very articulate. I don’t follow the game – yet for years, I remember his name – and, at the time was amazed at his height! ;D
