What if to have there presentation of the history of Wayne Pickette, and the extremely suicidal (as the result of racism) policy , which this country is promoting, keeping him and his current and mainly future achievements in jeopardy, ah? Racist policies are suicidal. Period. But this particular story is the very bright and convex illustration of this SUICIDAL attitude. |
