  • ...Getting Systemic Racism

    Due to recent (but not really) events targeted at the black community, I felt the need to break down the idea of systemic racism so we can further understand where our (black ppls) rage from constant oppression is stemming from. There's also plenty of F-bombs in this episode because I am equally enraged.
