  3. I'm all for building stronger families. There are strong family units still alive today and they came from older strong family units. How do you get there from nothing? I hope these people have the answers.

  4. NAACP started by Republicans to save blacks from democrats dressed in pointed hats. When will blacks learn history, leave this racist organization and choose liberty?
