The stereotypes and expectations of a racist society compel blacks to behave only in certain ways‚ never allowing them to act according to their own will.

She uses the lion as a visual metaphor for sin‚ and tells everyone that the “devil goes after the young.” Becky Fisher also makes many interesting claims‚ which I do not believe in.
