    Always a nice classy event and a good place to rub shoulders with movers and shakers.
    I don’t care much for their moon cake but I love the packaging that they come in.
    I love the Chinese

    You should really get to hear what the Chinese think of Black people, firsthand! Don’t be fooled for a second, THEY ARE EVEN MORE RACIST THAN WHITE PEOPLE!!! Go to China. You will receive a very rude awakening! From people calling you “African.” A 狗 gǒu, which means “dog.”;The word for Black people in Chinese is: 黑鬼: Hēi guǐ, which loosely translates to Black Ghost, but is the equivalent of “nigger.” So, be careful before you trade in one devil for another! Black people are too quick to trust others! There’s an old saying, “when someone is giving you something in their right hand, pay attention to what they’re taking from you with the left hand!” Sometimes what seems like altruism, is just good old fashion exploitation. In the end some of you will come to recognize the grift for what it is!
