Your tone is extremely condescending. I chose the emoji because it is rude.
You could read my works. My latest essay that addresses Drexciya and UR and Moodymann and revolution is getting some pretty good reviews. I already shared the book in an earlier email. I’m arrogant, but not arrogant enough to post the link again. Also, I don’t care about 1 or 10 or 50 white people who are bigots, you’re all the same to me. I’m not gonna waste my energy debating with you about who you are. And I have to look like you. It sux. 😢 Denise > On Nov 6, 2018, at 07:42, Steven Robertson <stev...@k-os.net> wrote: > > Yes I suppose it did.
