@pablotheMexican we say, "boo hoo" to one person's suffering because it is not the same or as severe as another's suffering? You're in the right place with the wrong message.
Make an earnest appeal regarding your concern to inform others and garner their prayers.More

100 million Indians killed, their homeland stolen, they have been placed on 'Reservations' unto this day; how many Jews died in the Second World War? Are they on Reservations? Their weapons taken from them? Are they living under deplorable conditions like the American Indian? Boo hoo.
