I HOPE YALL KNOW WHAT DA MEANIN OF PICNIC IS, FOR THOSE WHO DONT KNOW IT MEANS PICK A NI**A, WHICH WHITE FOLK USED WHEN THEY HUNTED FOR BLACK PEOPLE LIKE WE DAMN ANIMALS AND CELEBRATED BY EATIN A FEAST SIMILAR TO THE MEANING OF THANKSGIVING, WHICH WAS THE MASS MURDERING OF NATIVE AMERICANS.

JUS HAD 2 DROP THAT SO WE AS A PEOPLE IN THIS MATRIX CAN BE CONSCIOUS WHEN USING IT.
