In light of the whole Riley Cooper situation, we have another racial story … and it’s got an interesting twist. I’d love to know how people feel about this?!

Some people may not agree with what they’re doing. I think people should live their life the way they want if they aren’t hurting anyone. So if that’s what they like to do, who are we to judge?! Do you see any problem with it?! Check out the story…
