So why was this place burned down? Was it as simple as racism? It was a thriving area.

Did it hurt white businesses? They didn't want them to thrive, yet wanted segregation?

The whites wanted to lynch a guy who they thought sexually assaulted a white woman on an elevator (case was later dismissed). Blacks wanted to fight back. The police sided with the whites and trapped the blacks. The whites proceeded to kill blacks and burn down the area.

No.. My first thought was to use something with patch, but then that just seemed to be too "on surface". I like to be a little more creative (sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't).

You, on the other hand, always go with the obvious.

Shut up Chris. You aren’t fooling anyone. You are an uncreative, drooling moron if the best you Came up with was “Chief OnlyOneEyeWorks.”


And then acting like it was so creative.

Just give it up you piece of shite.

Pay your debt.
