I live close to this monument that we see in the thumbnail of this video. I felt a little weird to see this in my search results.
I'm proud this happened here... I miss the Expos of Montréal! :(

Wouldn't it be nice to see the same acceptance of whites in sub Saharan African/Muslim countries. Well that just isn't the case, they hate the whites especially white Christians and are now slaughtering them throughout South Africa. While all this is going on, not a word said on the news about this. All the news focuses on is that white countries must embrace and submit to black African/Islam or they're racist, such a twist as to what is really going on in black Africa and their racism and hatred towards whites whereas they're being tortured to death !!
