So in other words..... He couldn't have waited to put all of that in the State of the Union speech coming up in a month or 2? But he needed to come on primetime to address the nation and say what he's pretty much ALREADY been saying every time he talks to reporters....lol.

Easy...... Because as far as I'm concerned they're not dead. They live on in Spirit. Imagination is EXTREMELY powerful and it's one of the greatest Gifts given to humanity. You can watch Richard Pryor or Redd Foxx or Esther Rolle on film or video and IMAGINE that they are still acting in their prime. AI will only amplify this already inherent Gift. On top of that...... The younger actors of today don't carry the same MEMORIES of the ones we grew up with. When you see Shirley Hemphill...you can hear her voice and even see her in your mind saying something similar to what I posted...lol. The same with Richard Pryor. I bet you couldn't imagine....say....Nate Parker's voice....if I offered you $100 to do so, lol.

Save it. We all know what you really wanted to do.....lol.

also starring....... You know and love her as the sassy Shirley from What's Happening! "Whoa whoa whoa...hold on turkey tail. You call this a TIP? A jive ass penny??? I ain't got no fuse at home to fix, sucka!" SHIRLEY HEMPHILL as Big Bertha Dolemita's second in command

She reminds me of Shirley from What's Happening....lol.

Aight mayne........................ I heard that Trump is going to address the nation live tonight with some sort of "special" announcement. Maybe he's declaring Martial Law. Maybe he's declaring that aliens have landed and will take over. Maybe he's announcing open war with some country. Maybe even a $10,000 stimulus check for every U.S. citizen! Whatever it is, the shit better be important! Don't get people all hyped up for some big ass NOTHING burger that could have waited to be aired on NBC Nightly News or something you could have tweeted. Or some "we inherited a mess but now we're fixing it" shit, that could have waited until your State of the Union address in a couple months. Most people are so jaded with "breaking news" and "special address to the nation" that turn out to be the same ole mundane shit. It's like crying wolf now. I remember back in the day when a president addressed the entire nation....it was for something SHOCKING. Like Bush announcing he was going to war with Iraq Or Nixon announcing that he was resigning Now you have breaking news for routine snow storms in the middle of winter...... Man, yall interrupted Simone Biles dancing in a sexy outfit on Dancing With The Stars for THIS shit???? WTF???? So.....let's see what the man is up on tonight.

Troy Funny you mention women with accents. I've been attracted to women with foreign accents since I was a kid. I think men are psychologically (and perhaps biologically) programed to find foreign accents attractive for a number of reasons. Not only are they "different" or "exotic" but if they come from another nation that usually means they are further away from the gene pool and less likely to produce defects that come from inbreeding.

Troy This is easy to resolve just do a search for the post and share it. It doesn't need to be resolved because on MY end it's not a problem...lol. It's not that important to me. I know what I read and understood it clearly. Yeah, I don’t know if guys asking girls out less or if this is just some social media hype, but I did notice a couple of things that I think hurt the culture: Young males (men and boys) approach females FAR less today than when we were children. They rarely even flirt anymore. I think it's been "beat" out of them by so many messages in the media, online, and at work that tell them approaching women in assertive manner is considered "harassment". Even if it's on the street....."street harassment". Ofcourse some men ignore this, but the majority take it seriously. Especially if you've been or you've seen someone punished at work or by law enforcement for being assertive or aggressive. I don’t begrudge any person in their 20s living at home, especially in places like New York; the “rent is too damn high.” Seriously, if parents have the space why force a kid to move out when they can be saving money. Living at home in your 20s is one thing. Living at home with your parents in your 40s and 50s is another...lol. Especially if you have a history or drugs and alcohol abuse. There's a fine line between "helping out" your elderly parents and basically living off of them. I would imagine for men it is really hard today; you graduate from college saddled with debt, back in your childhood bedroom, can’t afford to take a girl out to a nice restaurant… the culture has not changed so much that this can’t wreck havoc with your self-esteem. What's even worse is....these are the type of conditions most MACHO men in the past used to revolt against. Back in the "old days" of history, most men wouldn't tolerate such conditions and would get together and DEMAND good decent paying jobs. Either from private employers or from the government itself. They had wives to support and children to feed, so they had far more responsibilities to simply accept "we're not hiring" or minimum wage. They'd organize, form unions, and DEMAND higher pay. Today most men aren't married and many of them aren't taking care of the children they produce anyway, so there's no real pressure on them to be the bread winner or even work...let alone demand a decent wage. AI replacing all entry level professional jobs will only make things worse— unless we take action to avert the pending disaster. Goes back to what I was saying about men no longer having the responsibilities they used to have to motivate them. When a man's back is against the wall and he's getting pressure from his wife, children, and possibly even his elderly parents who are all relying on HIM to make enough money to support them -that FORCES him into action. The powers that be were AFRAID to let conditions get too bad for the men in society...in those days...because they KNEW what would happen. Today, most men don't want to work or the responsibility of raising a family anyway....so low income is just the excuse they need.

That's ok She's used to it....lol.

"Oooooh shit honey.... Later for them jive ass Chicago Bears...my JAM is on! Move out the way sucka....and pass Mamma that bottle of muscatel." "Got DAMN gull....... You rockin' the whole house with all that shakin' and shit! I thought we was havin' one of them California Earthquakes. You ain't Michael Jaxun! Shit..... You keep bouncin' yo big necked ass 'round like that and I'ma change yo name from from Dolemita to THUNDA CLAPS!"

Come on @Chevdove, what's the scoop on 31/Atlas??? Don't tell me you ain't been following it....lol.

The youngstas just don't know how cool it was to have white wall tires...lol. Those were the "spinning rims" of the 70s.

I'll tell you what. Sign your Social Security and Post Office pension checks over to me and I'll log out and stop posting on here; deal? I'll be just a distant memory.....lol. "No trace of 'em here......"

-All of that energy for somebody she CLAIMS she could care less about? You can believe it if you want to.....lol.

This statement reminds me of Rob Reiner and his wife possibly being offed by their own son. I've read so many accounts lately of kids killing their own parents, and it's almost always adult kids over 30 who were STILL LIVING with them! Every time I see a story about a kid murdering their own parent, I keep reading further down because I know they're going to talk about how they were sharing the same house or apartment or the kid was homeless and crashed there from time to time.
