These freaks won’t be happy until all c-suites and government positions are run by black females. Even then, it won’t be good enough.

Ugh... endless liberal propaganda. 24/7, day in day out indoctrination of the weak minded.

As a black man with an MBA and only a few years of experience, I’m applying to every C-level exec job currently open. I’m comin for reparations, corporate America.
