There will always be idiots and opportunists among us but that does not and should not invalidate the real feelings of the people after demonstrating lawfully and peacefully. With that and i appreciate your. We are jewish and things happen to jewish people. Different minorities. To jewish people loop probably when the ball teams when i would assume. Im sorry. I received a tweet from somebody. Why is it only black people. I sent people. I sent them a series of white kids riding. The response was, these are all ball teams. White kids living for all kinds of reasons. This idea that only africanamericans engage in civic disorder is a historic fallacy. I have a question. Two questions. One question.
