True, but you still have to choose to get the gun, and choose to have the mindset that you have to shoot somebody to get that object. As for the reasonable way to get them, that would be
on the blame whitey list - more jobs with livable wages.

I'm not denying this but Whites aren't forcing us to sit our
children down in front of the tv umpteen hours a day instead of
reading to them. Although libraries aren't everywhere there are still enough out there that one can get there hands on some books. My parents were limited financially but they took me to the library and read books to me so I already knew how to read before I started kindergarden.

It can be done and done cheap.

There's a difference between feeling good and getting hooked
on the pipe. If you got to feel good stick to weed.

Two out of three? Is this really true? What income is considered middle class? That seems a little off to me.
