Why is it that they only want to focus on their families AFTER they get caught?

Thanks to a family connection (sibling is an executive chef at a high end club) I know just how heinous the “jokes” can get. Racism? Yep. Sexism? Yep. Gay bashing? In spades.

I’m gonna do my damned best to shine the light of blackness upon this gray comment. I wish I could give you more than one star.

What are these “Crusades” of which you speak? I personally have never heard of them. Four of them, you say? Spanning centuries and resulting in the deaths of millions?
