I would hope to know how he really feels everyday being a black target. <br />Erin Myersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595859379914711075.post-77756469279403631722022-04-22T11:11:18.276-05:002022-04-22T11:11:18.276-05:001.

Yet the whole idea doesn't surprise. It would make perfect logical sense that many people who are a part of the wrongful killings of black and brown people and uphold prejudice values that discriminate against them, somehow have this kind of inert nature to take our their strongest desires for well tearoom POC people and putting then down ( at least that's how the book portrays it) I think the author did a good job showing the truth in a very sadistic way Erin Myersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595859379914711075.post-70570079374981455812022-04-06T10:46:58.003-05:002022-04-06T10:46:58.003-05:00Nadia G.:

I mean on one hand yes a hypothetical park for all the sicko who think wrongly killing POC as they are portrayed in the disgusting fantasy sterotype pf thugs ans terrorist, it just goes to show how fucked up the world is that someone thinks THIS is a better idea, then solving the issues at hand. But I get the idea as it is basically saying nothing is gonna change the systems mind so why not appeal to the system. Only problem is will this stop a young black man from getting shot, or a young Muslim girl getting her hijab torn off? I doubt it as not EVERY racist sicko is going to come to that park and take out their frustrations on simulations.
