Similar to the women in Africa whose kneecaps or knees were shattered. I've seen a lot of Black women here and in foreign countries limping along in the streets. Too bad for them that it happened before they had opportunity to leave. <br />I also wondered if the women were cared for if the man leaves or dies or is disabled? <br />..Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982249173214655060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777854594703553858.post-83575499929912846902018-04-06T11:05:35.925-07:002018-04-06T11:05:35.925-07:00This was sad..
