Satan Burger Lets start off by saying this a bizarre reading and wow! But I enjoyed it! The whole reading is very out there and not plausible in any way. That is my own opinion. There are some aspects to this reading that has some imagined future but it’s hard because it is very abstract and really has no story line but that is not a bad thing.

Then the father advances on her to point a gun at   her. This happens over and over when the black woman helps the white boy the father steps in and tries to hurt her. So we are asked the question, does this reflect any entitlement on the white people or black people? I personally think that it does a little bit but not a great extent. The reason I say this is because, every time the black lady wanted to help the young white boy, the father thought she was going to hurt him. Or, maybe h
