started yelling thugs. I do not even remember what it was about but in that thread I went off being damn sick and tired of fuggin white people and their racism. Later that day I got flagged by FB and told I was not behaving by FB community standards and got the post deleted and a demerit or something. Ya.... Pretty damn tired of white people.
