It's a search and rescue, and the same type of plane is also used to fight forest fires. |

Lady antebellum is an all white group and Lady A is a single black woman. Literally, trying to look good, caused harm to a person they would identify as a member of the group they're trying not to harm. --- Quote ---“I’m not about to stop using my name. For them to not even reach out is pure privilege” — Anita White, known professionally as Lady A --- End quote --- --- End quote --- I would've guessed this was an onion spoof but it's real :-DD Thanks for your "help", allies ::) |
