    why is DD the racist one?

    but jebldmm, Obama doesn't have dark skin. Why are you so defensive? Is it too much to think that racism still exists among white folks today? Why do you think an overwhelming percentage of the homeless population and the incarcerated population are Black today? What convenient explanation do you have for that?
