You guys sound like stereotypical racists without an inch of uniqueness, it’s kinda funny. At least be creative if you’re going to espouse such nonsense on here. “Diseased plague”? That’s like calling someone a “dumb idiot.” It’s redundant. But with you I guess it works ??‍♂️

Dear MAGA.

CAN YOU SAY THAT FACE TO FACE WITH A PERSON OF ANOTHER RACE
OR IS HIDING BEHIND THE INTERNET A MORE SUITABLE PLACE.
BLM IS IRREVALANT TO THE MATTER MENTIONED ABOVE
YOU JUST CHOSE THIS PLATFORM TO PUT ON YOUR HOOD AND RACIST GLOVE
YOU DO KNOW THAT DISPICABLE CRIMES ARE COMMITTED BY EVERY NATIONALITY
ID LOVE TO MEET YOU IN PERSON AND EDUCATE YOU WITH MORE OF ACTUAL REALITY.
PERHAPS NEXT TIME YOU MAKE A COMMENT, BEFORE YOU EVEN BEGIN
YOU THINK ABOUT HOW YOUR RACISTS, IGNORANT, AND VERY IRRELEVANT COMMENTS COULD EVER MAKE AMERIKKA GREAT AGAIN.
