I don't think it would be possible to prove to you that race relations have deteriorated. I could very well be wrong that's true, I can only state my opinion after all. I don't thi…

I know what his name is and how to spell it I just reflexively spell it that way. Why don't you just write that you think I'm stupid rather than hide behind this trivial spelling e…
