  1. "The sound and the fury of an idiot saying nothing" (and in this case the wimpering of a cry baby who hates what he is because he looks for what he, himself, doesn't exemplify; perfection. I'm not sure which one of Shakespeare's plays that bold quoted phrase is from but somewhere in the annals of his works it appeared and, over the centuries, has continued to resonate, appropriately being applied to fools who blab about things that neither inspire nor impress, and in many cases, are totally self serving. And right here on this board in the year 2022, this phrase is an accusation who's time has once again come, thanks to the monster the conservative right wing Retrumpican party has created. i don't have to tell any of the Regulars who that description fits, whose daily drivel is voided through the consideration of its source. But here's a hint. In his mission to obliterate his race, oblivious to the flawed latter day Neanderthals he pays homage to, he becomes a slippery creature who has been reduced to a total loser. Grasping at straws, editing his posts, changing their titles, desperately resorting to repetition and exaggeration in the hope of bulking up the shallowness of his message, patting himself on the back, copping a plea, trying to sanitize his treachery, he is the epitome of a troll gone wrong; mission unaccomplished. So now, without further ado, i present to you the ass-hole who stinks up the place with the stench of his verbal flatulence, the wanna-be who is comparable to a scumbag that prevented the birth of humility, the white shadow who mocks himself. None other than - Greg, the rotten Egg. crack him and watch him run
  2. Bad decisions, violence and irresponsible behavior are American problems: I hope these boys weren't horse playing and knocked each other's teeth out. Responsible folks have a place to live and they aren't afraid of the dentist. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  3. While sipping coffee and eating donuts, the FBI should be monitoring assault rifle and ammo sales. Pay attention to the social media profiles of those individuals. They might get a drop on the next mass shooter. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  4. That would be a โ€œyesโ€ for Jimmy. By the time i came around the faux nobility of the Kennedyโ€™s had worn off. Monroe, Chappiqudic (too lazy to look up spelling), old man Joeโ€™s bootleggingโ€ฆ Still I remember a few Black homes where Kennedyโ€™s photo was displayed along side MLKโ€™s and white Jesus. All things being equal people who are willing to say or do anything will often do better in not just politics but in life.
  5. Jimmy Carter was asked if he was ever unfaithful, he said I lusted in my heart. I think Billy was sinning for the both of them.
  6. SURPRISING FACT The overall value of the world's cryptocurrencies has plunged about 70% to $929 billion, from an all-time high of about $3 trillion in November and $2 trillion at the start of the quarter. Meanwhile, the tech-heavy Nasdaq has plummeted about 32% this year. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jonathanponciano/2022/06/14/coinbase-lays-off-1100-employees-billionaire-ceo-warns-recession-could-worsen-impact-of-1-trillion-crypto-crash/
  7. Scholarly intelligence is superfluous when it comes to leadership in high places. Nixon comes to mind, when you look for a president who knew how to maneuver and manipulate. He was devious and shrewd. So was LBJ. Everybody thought JFK was so noble and virtuous but he wasn't. His assassination elevated him to martyrdom. The Kennedy's were very ruthless. Politics is a dirty game. Nice guys finish last.
  8. Some black folks aren't built to live among their own kind. Survival and peace of mind could mean changing scenery. I hope that anyone who feels left by the black community will flourish and live their best life in whatever community has adopted and/or embraced them. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  9. Ironically you are stating that on a site that Troy literally built. Troy is Black Excellence, Cynique is Black Wisdom , Mel is Black Intelligence.
  10. Former POTUS Bill Clinton is a very smart man. Just like former POTUS Barack Obama. However, Clinton is the same Arsenio Hall show, saxophone playing, *1st black* POTUS whose administration came up with mandatory minimum sentencing guidelines that disproportionately affected AfroAmerican offenders. Every POTUS has the responsibility of maintaining white supremacy. The smarter ones are the most effective at doing it covertly. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  11. Not sure what his "racial blend" is but he looks like he can make a GREAT cup of coffee! Who is that, Juan Valdez????
  12. I have no idea of where the man is from nor anything about his racial mix. I do know he either put his mustache on crooked or cut it unevenly.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
