Lauryn Hill is going to jail for not paying her taxes, a fate that would surely befall us all if caught. She argued to the judge that since her ancestors were slaves, our economic system was imposed on her against her will, invalidating her burden. Pay your ******* taxes, you ignorant bigot. When your ancestors started making money, they started owing taxes.  This is a feature of society called "equality."

What the **** is wrong with everyone these days?  I am of Irish descent...should I sue the British government for not helping my ancestors during the Irish Potato Famine, causing them to emigrate to America, where they then moved to the South, where the intensity of UV light has greatly increased my propensity to develop skin cancer as a result of the fair complexion inherent of my ginger Irish descent? No.  I should not.  That is ******* ignorant.  But that is a very similar line of reasoning.  Shut your ******* mouth, Lauryn Hill.  Enjoy jail.
