@@silentmajority8365 people here are so stupid! There's no more oppression! Back in the day yes but not now because there are more billionaires and millionaires in the country today than any other country, I know of one black millionaire and he said his people are the most easiest and violent people, he lives out of state in a 2 million dollar estate and comes once every 3 months to check on his business.
