According to The Daily Mail, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has admitted to gathering secret intelligence about the Burning Man festival since 2010. He shared his thoughts on this at a press conference during this year’s festival. “I actually see black folks out there, unlike some of liberal critics”. “There are some historic reasons for that, especially in the United States”.

“Remember a group that was enslaved and made to work”. “Slavishly, you know in the fields”.
Susan Sarandon has spoken openly about her love of Burning Man and it appears the 68-year-old actress is back for another round of the festival this year.
“He went on to point out that “[his] family is half black”, and that while he’d gotten himself into trouble before for saying blacks aren’t overly fond of camping, Harvey repeated these sentiments. “Seriously”, Harvey explained.
