  1. That is cringe worth looking at those people.

    How is this relevant exactly on here?

    I am wearing a long skirt but I know no one is interested in that, so why exactly are we being fed these nonentities with little to no education hiding behind the blanket of fashion.

    Thanks

  2. These shouldn’t be the preoccupations of black Africans. We have no water in the municipalities, children are walking long distances for education, public services and amenities are in a deplorable state. Yet we want to mask it all with good clothes and cologne. The white man’s got a choke hold on our future. Choke hold!
