TBH I never expected the perps to be black. It will quite interesting to unpack their motives and put it into some historical perspective regarding purposeful, inadvertent or ignorant destruction by European colonial invaders in, uh… everywhere else in the world.

Wanna know how I know you only glanced at the picture?

My little phone didn’t have the pixels to show the picture properly.

I’ve owned up to my mistake above.

And yes now that I look closer I can see their hands. Oops.
