    How An African Empire Influenced African-American Roast Sessions

    Yes, this is a repost. I was new to thread posting when I originally did this thread, and ignorantly posted it in tlr... I think when he said "roast sessions" he was referring to the dozens and not roasting in general. This is why he said "roast sessions or the dozens." Saying roast sessions...

    WWI ended 100 years ago after tens of millions of deaths and a crappy armistice that just set the stage for another war down the line...

    A LOT OF the debate around black NFL players kneeling to protest police killings and racism seems to take place in a historical vacuum. The history of athletes and protest is seldom mentioned and, what’s worse, the reason why Colin Kaepernick and his comrades began protesting during the national...
