I know they stink, I hope they didn't get add revenue from my visit.

As a political figure who claims to be for unity, you should not have to reach out. It should already be assumed that the hand is out, and ready.. Especially when you live in a country that claims that 'all men are created equal'. A country that is a combination of many ethnic backgrounds. In stead, he had a campaign which promoted division and now to salvage the inevitable ego-destruction that is about to come, he is 'reaching' out.


The most aware person will see through this nonsense. And LMAO @ BET being the spokesperson for AA's all over America. You have to be out of your mind to think that because he spoke to the CEO of BET, that he is reaching out to AA's. So what, BET network is now the ambassador of African Americans?

Kit Kat, give me a break.
