She committed the unforgivable sin: being white. Murder can be forgiven; being white can’t.

It’s pathetic that without a job at a college, her only skill is to braid hair.

Well, she’s got some experience faking hate crimes too, but now that she’s out of the NAACP, there is no money in that.

In some states, a hair braider must be licensed. Wouldn’t it be great if she was engaged in an illegal business?

Maybe she should flip back to being white and use some of that “privilege” we all hear so much about.
