Tragedy.If a white man found out that his private part is black would he beat it to death?Tragedy.If I'm walking down the street and a blind man drops his wallet am I wrong for picking it up?(I mean I did point to it)Tragedy.My friend has no legs am I wrong for borrowing his bike?(I mean he can't ride)Tragedy.
