Any time I hear this type of news, it serves as a reminder that white people are not naturally better than us. We get them defeated in an education occurring in their own language where they already have an advantage. This clearly proves we are more intelligent. No further proof is required cause these girls have proved it. Imagine what would happen when we use our own language to acquire this education. When we do so, white people will never "see our break light" ever again. We will give them a very long gap. The table will turn. Just think about it. 127 Likes 11 Shares |
