His tooth brush talks to him and tells him to kill. But guns are bad.
I say we ban tooth brushes cause they are homicidal. In England they
can't even carry a 3 inch knife in their pocket so they keep sharp
pencils to kill each other with. In Oakland California sharpened
pencils carried concealed are considered a concealed weapon. I don't
think it would be a bad idea to arm all the niggers with machetes
and ak47's and let them kill each other off. Of course I'm just a
racist cause I want them to be all that they can be.

The American nigger is an interesting animal.
It has learned from its wigger teachers that
many human beings are beset by guilt over the
mannor that the nigger was treated when they
were first domesticated and brought here so
that they might serve the human race. This
guilt has made humanity blind to the true
nature of the nigger and is now endangering
this great country of ours that was built by
and for White people. If we don't awake from
this slumber soon, the nigger will have taken
from you what is yours by right. WAKEUP WHITE
AMERICA BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE TO SAVE US ALL!
