I don't dislike you - I just despise your inability to learn from (and help alleviate) the collective and ongoing horrorshow that is human history.

Try and seek out and understand points of view that you do not agree with.

If brown people scare you, then I suggest you research the phrase: 'Human Universals' - and you will have an easier time of it.

Otherwise, I'm afraid that you are just another part of the problem.


Kind Regards,

Scott Ewing
