UBM thanks for this. i have posted it to my Facebook page. the creativity black people specifically and oppressed people generally never ceases to amaze me. equally stunning of course is that fact that the patty's are still patrolling black life, the black folks are being locked up in record numbers and that USA supposedly a model of democracy locks of more people than any "developed" nation. not to mention the death and destruction that passes for foreign policy.
