Ever since this trend started how many casualties have emerged? Looks like we are about to witness another genocide narrative😳

This guy sounds like a mouthpiece for some white people who didn't like seeing this beautiful.

Are y’all fcuken for real?

Everything and anything to destroy and erase, then you'll have us black people supporting erasure and easily conforming to cultures we dont know
