Harris died Thursday at the City of Hope hospital after a short bout with cancer, family spokesman Rusty Citron announced.

The amount of psychological stress she must of been under is frightening. Maybe she felt guilty and realised she was just a big racist who knows? I suspect over the coming years as these teen sjws get into their late 20s and realise they have a shit (gender studies,equality, social,journo) degree not worth the paper it's written on, that has put them ten of thousands of pounds in the red,and plus having to go out and find a real job, (zero hour contract, McDonald's) and realising there worldview is completely bogus we'll see more of this. Your life and everything you were taught is a lie, you have no employability, completely unattractive to the opposite sex (skinny male feminist creeps or fat angry bright haired harpies) as Marxism and the far left ideologies don't teach personal responsibility, accountability or healthy life choices. I'm fat because of society and impossible beauty standards. I can't get a girl because I'm too nice etc. Really suicide to alot of these mentally disturbed Marxists will be the only way out.

Having experienced racism myself in my teens and having non white family members who have experienced racism. Having both a white child and a non white child myself. I have no time for people who make generalisations on people because of their skin colour. I judge them on their actions and the content of their character, her actions were to attack white people because of their skin colour. One of the things that turned me off Corbyn was him turning a blind eye to anti-Semitism. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Weebl 216 Posted October 2, 2019 This is going to sound absolutely crazy, but hopefully at least one person will kind of understand what I'm talking about I'm gonna be honest and say I always thought Peter Sissons had a face like a lion when I was younger - large head, flat face and flowing mane of hair He was a good newsreader. The most obvious parallel today would be Huw Edwards. Also interesting if you read his Wikipedia bio, it says that after he left the BBC and retired from work, he wrote about how the BBC was inherently left-wing and politically correct. RIP Peter "The Lion" Sissons 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
