...because I've prayed to God that I could understand Drumpf and his Christian cult and I still hate their guts.

...because if there is a hell all my friends will be there.

...because there can't be a God if George Bush Jr and Drumpf could both be presidents of the United States in the same century.

This ignorant and ugly meme puts the culture that produced it to great shame.

Not the cultures that it seeks to insult.

To whoever created it I ask: What makes the sacrifices of your culture's warriors any greater than the sacrifices of the warriors of other cultures, such as this Catholic culture, for example?

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

2.4 El Palenque de El Castigo

"Stolen from Africa, brought to America,
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival"

-Bob Marley

En la época colonial muchos esclavizados o cimarrones conformaron grupos en las
montañas, y de manera espontánea fueron tomando conciencia de grupo hasta que se
convirtieron en apalencados y fundaron poblados autónomos llamados palenques. En
los primeros momentos de rebeldía fueron los bozales o recién llegados quienes unidos
en pequeñas bandas huyeron hacia los montes.

In colonial times, many enslaved people or cimarrones formed groups in the mountains and spontaneously became aware of their group until they became apalencados and founded autonomous became apalencados and founded autonomous settlements called palenques. In the first moments of rebellion, it was the "bozales" or newcomers who, united in small bands, fled towards the mountains.
