MRA’s? Pfffft. Both Neely and I know that the red ones are the best ones. They’re perfect. Dolls, even.

Oh god, I hate this subset of the #wellactually type, these scientific racists who show you cherry picked “facts” and data to try and pretend that they are just being “real.” lol

“What would MLK say about...?”
