Should White Chicks Be Considered Offensive?

Should White Chicks Be Considered Offensive?

Describing Conservative Republicans as just a little upset would be quite the understatement. I’d say that Republicans are so…fricking…pissed right now, and after American comedian Druski’s recent cosplay of Erika Kirk, the widow of late political activist, Charlie Kirk, I can’t say that I’m too surprised. Druski’s quite unsavory imitation of Erika Kirk has struck […]
