Misconceptions

You claim to know all of my people but all you know are the lies that are fed to you.

How can you say your expert when you can't take a second check on what's told to you?

No. I'm not a criminal. I am not a rapist. I am not illegal.

I'm not what the media claims me to be.

Look past the lies and get to know me. You'll see.

I am hardworking, no criminal. I escaped the fears chasing me.

I am American, born and raised. Don't let the fears and lies keep you from seeing

who I am. My skin my fit the mold, but I am just trying to make it in this world.
