by people living in a privileged area of amerikkkan reality. I really could care less about what or who people take seriously or not. I'm serious about the ongoing racial hate and economic disparity in the american hypocrisy called democracy. Yes, all my life I've been serious about injustice. Spray painting a statue, good start.
