Copypasta

The full copypasta reads:

I Like Watching Videos Of Black Men Shaking Their Booty Cheeks…

I don't know why, but when I click on a video and see a black man shaking his cheeks, it just makes my mouth drool and I start dancing with the black man as well. Sometimes when I look at myself in the mirror, I sometimes hallucinate and see black men twerking on my couch, it.. brings a smile to my face. I wish I could become one with the black men twerking aggressively.

Please understand what I'm going through and support me on my journey!
