  • Dr murderer

    I’m surprised you are shocked that a surgeon would murder his ex and her husband. I’ve listened to several podcasts about abusive, murderous Doctors. Just because they are intelligent and educated doesn’t mean that they are good people.

  • The Outdated Racial Caste System, USA and Blanca

    When Blanca shows such respect for people who were so destructive, but probably wouldn’t show that same respect for the people who built South Carolina and USA (people of African descent), it’s a sad testament to how broken the USA is.
