Fun fact, Mexico had a black president before America and gave land to black indigenous Americans who had to flee the USA because Of a risk of being enslaved; they were the only nation to acknowledge their indigenous Indian identity despite of skin colour.

[@bizbeblowed]

I feel like he could’ve broke this down better. The OC is known for the beaches like Newport Beach, Huntington Beach and Laguna. It’s south from LA and just past Long Beach. The houses throughout OC like places like Irvine are some of the most expensive real estate in the country. But there’s a lot of Mexican and Asian gangs out there in places like garden grove and Santa Ana and most people don’t know.

[@GentryTradingCo]

Nah bro couldn't have broken it down any better. He said he went to continuation school. Had 7 siblings and was raised by his hood. He told it exactly how he knew how to. If you from here tho you know exactly what he meant.
