Are you sure it's not a male black? I had a subject enter my laundromat on central and 40th last Saturday exposing himself to my customers.

Females and males are all human beings with the label male or female. What ever gender the victim is of sex pain justice will be served as the business declares.
Some sex pained victims are extremely patient for inner also outer peace of the crime done onto them such as myself.
I have grown from my victim point in being forced into pain due to my sexual orientation in me being gay liking another male.
I have began to learn what goes will come back around as the time affords. This happens when I believe nobody is going to save my life from the people who hate me for being into another male.
