Michael Jackson left behind an amazing legacy of songs and videos. They don't need to be recreated; why mess with perfection? His family story has already been told in more accurate detail on the TV movies that refreshed what I already knew about him because I remember when they happened. This movie is now available on pay TV for $24.00. Guess who ain't gonna pay to see it?

@Pioneer1 As, usual, the scenario your defective mind "pictures" is way off the mark. Now trot on back to your stall and "eat yo pancakes".

@Pioneer : I know this will be difficult for you since you're allergic to accuracy but can you, for one moment, divest yourself of the defective lens you view the world through and tell me how those pictures of me are "all over the internet". And WHO is it you mistakenly presume I owe an apology to? Otherwise, stfu.

New York City has erupted into an orgy of celebration, its streets swarming with crowds delirious with joy over the KNICKS ending their 53-year drought and defeating the San Antonio Spurs to become NBA champions! Congrats to them as they leave no doubt as to which was the better team by winning 4 out of 5 games to take the crown. Good job!! It's a sign of the times that victorious sports teams are generating so much enthusiasm from their followers. LIfe looms so uncertain, - is filled with such strife, due to the political and economic turmoil stifling the country, that people are desperate for things to cheer about. Anything to invest their hopes in! Here in Chicago, even our hapless white Sox, have the city excited because for the first time in 7 years, the team is playing .500 ball, even as BEAR fans can hardly wait for football to return, hoping for another thrilling season to distract us from the national conflict. Keeping up with the home teams has certainly added a little excitement to my hum drum existence. Sending the message that "good things come to those who wait," makes the KNICKS even bigger heroes. Electing a competent, respectable leader to succeed Donald Trump is certainly worth waiting for!

That ol Cynique thinks she's smart, tryna steal my thunder.This jive ass nigga will teach her a lesson. Don't mess with Pioneer! I'm a cool dude!

@ProfD Those who observe societal behavior have always claimed that women dress to impress other woman, - that they value the opinion of their peers more than men. This has come to be true in other areas, too. When it comes to appearance, they are more fixated on being admired and envied by females more than males, always pricing each others' clothes and checking labels and what stores someone shops at. I just don't equate self-improvement with low self-esteem. Acknowledging that you're not perfect and electing to improve on what you have, is a positive approach. "Vanity, thy name is 'woman'."

@Pioneer1 You thought wrong, as usual.

@Pioneer1 Thats not a fact, And the only person asking that question is your dumb ass.

@Pioneer1 You, of all people, complaining about people posting pictures. That says a lot about you and your phony-assed self, not to mention the false claim of the pix being "all over the internet". Incidentally, it's the same person in both photos. You are so full of BS.

@Pioneer1 You're not curious.You're a nosy ol fart. MYOB!

@ProfD Word is that Hammond is pretty much a done deal because property taxes would skyrocket if Chicago took on that project, so that made iit a deal breaker. The Bears did buy property in the Chicago suburb of Arlington Heights, a defunct racetrack race track site but that didn't work out.. Oh well, they say it will take 5 years to complete construction on a brand new modern stadium, sooo I won't worry about it. zzzzz zzzzz

@ProfD I wouldn't say low self-esteem is the only reason. It's not necessarily even a case of wanting to look like somebody else. It's often just a case of wanting to become your "best self"; just as easily a case of self- love, rather than self-hate. It's presumptuous to suggest that one size fits all when it comes to why a woman decides to improve her appearance. Men would do well to stop trying to define women. 😉

@ProfD No, but social media is a microcosm of the population at large.

@ProfD There seems to be kind of a consensus among Blacks (on social media) that Karmelo was in the wrong but that his sentence was much too harsh and that he should've been charged with Manslaughter...

@ ProfD: I was just wishing that some trillionaire would show up and volunteer to build a new all expense free stadium in Chicago so the Bears wouldn't have to settle for one in Hammond Indiana... OK back to more serious things 😜

@Pioneer1 As usual , you distorted what I said to compose your strawman argument. You don't know any other way to represent yourself. Lying is second nature to you. You are truly one of the few black man I can't stand. You are the embodiment of everything that I dislike in a person.

Yes it is Arabic. It means you know nothing about nothing.

Why don't you crawl back down in your hole and busy yourself with "picturing" people, imagining them to be nothing like they really are, - a testament to your lack of perception and warped perspective.

I don' t know whether he's a racist or not.And don'tcare. The only thing I find appealing about him is his humor, not that it's any of your damned business.

That's a lie! When I decide to drop in here, and nobody posted anything new but you, and you make such stupid comments, who else can I respond to?. I wish Troy and ProfD would show up so I could engage with them!

And you know nothin aboutmanhood since they turned you out in jail

And your narcissism emerges to promote your fantasies. You just can't wrap your brain around the fact that I find you annoyingly obnoxious.

Speak for yourself. You obviously know nothing about the state of womanhood in the year 2026

Yes, not only do I admit to what I am. I declare it. Are ready to confess your secret admiration for Trump?
