Sean Hannity

But virtue, as it never will be moved,Though lewdness court it in a shape of heaven,So lust, though to a radiant angel linked,Will sate itself in a celestial bedAnd prey on garbage.

The breakdown of the black community, in order to maintain slavery, began with the breakdown of the black family.
