Re: Gaming.... a "white mans" medium?

Re: Gaming.... a "white mans" medium?

Re: Gaming.... a "white mans" medium?

^What he said If you are not prepared to give proof then keep your mouth shut. You only shame people who take race relationships seriously and do their work instead of pulling "facts" out of their ass and act surprised when people call you on it. Well if you're agreeing with his statement...
