FL Those people are hopeless. I really detest
that race. H You shouldnt say
that.F What? I tell you I hate them. How can I
be proud of my color. When I see those
people fouling up ever day? It disgusts me.
Anyway, except for my color, Im not black.
My character is white.H I am sure no white ever
yelled I hate my race when another white
stole or even murdered. Then, why, for a
trifle, are you willing to condemn all
blacks?F You dont understand. It hurts me to
see someone who is already black do
something bad. Even for a trifle, my impulse
to hurl my race into the fire.
