don't worry. us infidels will not be taking your women (consenting obviously) from you much longer. you can get your end away... the truth is beyond your reach: 'white' britain has run its social sphere on propaganda all our lives. 'white' women and 'other' women were groomed for decades to be more sexually attracted to 'white' men than others, for decades. in the last 4 years 'white malea' - our country - has gone fully wrong. the 'white men' have jabbed 70% of the country with poison. the 'white men' and their bombs and guns are now openly outgunned by russia and china and whites are on the run., israel has been killing for half a year and still can't get rid of its problem, so impotent have 'white men' become now and now, i know anecdotally, more and more white women prefer to fuck a black man than a white, in britain, and it's rising. they'll include muslims and other non whites too before long. this is hurting 'white men' who claim they are 'persecuted' even though their entire nation's institutional landscape is run by and rigged in favour of 'white men' and 'white women' but DO NOT WORRY. the men in question will get sick of fucking 'your' women because those women are no different, morally, to you. and the image of beauty is an illusion, love and beauty live beneath the skin not in its colour.

[@caloriebuddy]

hardly. i posted a reply to you and 'you english' can't read it because your american slave-masters censored it out!!! ha. you see you english and you scots are WELL under the thumb of censorship already the new scottish law is, no one in gov can admit, an attempt to fight back against american use of social media to radicalise as many white britons as possible you guys are so gullible and weak minded that usa is turning out 1000 new white supremacists in the uk a week if you weren't so stupid we wouldn't have to nanny you so much you dumb westerners!!! xx
