Must have been spooky to work with him in a coal mine - almost like working with a ghost.

Haha?

What?

[@cloroc]

Just an incel making a joke is all. Homeboy got sick of rejection on bumble and chafed after pornhub and figured he'd hop on RUclips and do some rabble rousing

[@lionitist]

"African American" ? I don't hear any accent at all, how is he African American? He sounds like an American or since CNN FAKE NEWS wants race to be apart of everything, a black American.

[@john-zo3jy]

Sir.. are you aware what being African American means lol?? African Americans are peope who are born and raised in the USA, who are descendants from people in Africa.

[@john-zo3jy]

So.. they don’t have accents.. because they are americans.. who should have been born in Africa.. but you know your history right? The whole slave trade deal and what not. They are african american. All black people, are african american. Their ancestors are from africa. All black people in america has lineage traced to Africa.

[@john-zo3jy]

And, if you want to be technical. White people aren’t just “americans”. They’re european americans. White people stole this land.. no sorry.. yall prefer the term “founded” lmao. Anyways, thats it for my rant to absolute, no brained, pos.

[@JohnDoe-hc6sf]

@@john-zo3jy So you’re right but wrong keep in mind Africa started the slave trade and still practices till this day. For you to say they should not have been born in America it’s pretty racist. Every human being on planet earth came from Africa so you’re not making any sense with that. They were born in America so they are Americans if you want to be skin color then you would call them American blacks stay educated

[@john-zo3jy]

@@JohnDoe-hc6sf man are you wrong. But ok. Everyone came from africa😂. And black people hate being called “blacks”. Because its racist. Would you prefer to be called.. “whites?”.. “the whites?”. African American = Black people born in America with african lineage
