A few months ago I shared on the different genres of music I enjoy. Some members of My Lot family shared what they prefer and it was simply great to read people's opinions. MyklJJ even shared his friend, Jake Martin's record...

I haven't been here for quite sometime, so I decided to log in and see how 'My Lot' world is doing and the first post I see is about a biscuit/cookie being renamed because it's name has been deemed racist and how that action is...

marguicha @FionaRubi Black people have faced atrocities (and still do) in the US. Not in my country. Not ever. I can only think that some Black men are very attractive. Whe I think of racial issues, I would ban some white groups, not black or mulatto people.
