TREATED RIGHT IN LA WHEN YOU
DON'T GET TREATED RIGHT IN ST.

HERE IN GEORGIA, FROM STEVENS,
GEORGIA, FORMER VICE PRESIDENT
OF THE CONFEDERATE, WHITE MAN
SAID THAT LAW, FUNDAMENTAL LAW
STATED THAT WHITES WERE
NATURALLY THE SUPERIOR RACE,
AND IT WAS BUILD ON A
CORNERSTONE, LOOK IT UP, THE
CORNERSTONE THAT BLACKS WILL
ALWAYS BE SUBORDINATE.
THE OFFICER BELIEVED THAT
SPEECH BECAUSE HE KILLED THAT
MAN LIKE AN ANIMAL.
IN THIS CITY, OFFICERS HAVE
DONE HORRENDOUS THINGS AND BEEN
PROSECUTED.
PROSECUTED. IN THIS CITY YOUR WORK FIND 50
WOMEN OWNED BY BLACK WOMEN.
I DIDN'T SAY MINORITY, AND I
DIDN'T SAY WOMEN OF COLOR.
