“We aren’t in the same situation as working class whites, and we have never been.”

I’ll preface this by stating that I am a black leftist.

I think PL is a wonderful horror movie. All kinds of horror in THAT one (we know who the REAL monster is). Good choice!

No way would the government of the USA allow it’s people to drink poisoned water. We are the richest country on Earth. No way we can’t get people clean drinking water. We are not some evil third world dictatorship run by greedy fucks. We.............
