Why is that disrespectful woman smiling in the background? She should be ashamed of herself. Some people do not care about anything.

When are the descendents of the enslaved. Going to accept the fact that the enslaver, oppressor, and enemy have no shame. This why they don't think twice while engaging in wicked behavior.
