A Woman of Color in Thelema

A Woman of Color in Thelema

by Kelly N. AKA Keanu Tease Not guilty. I’m not shocked.  I’m upset.  I’m crying.  But I’m not shocked.  This trial was a joke from start to finish.  Murder is legal in the United States apparently, but only if you have the correct skin tone.  It’s over 400 years of systemic oppression
