  1. Not surprising, the only thing I remember about DeAngelo is his name, and a poster - or album cover of him that showed off his beautifully muscular body. It's also now being reported that he didn't like his work being labeled as "neo-soul" but just wanted it to be music that appealed to black folks. His life and death are getting a lot of coverage on all the TV entertainment "magazine" shows, even mention on the nation network news as well. Tributes are pouring in from all the successful black musicians who were inspired by him including Lauren Hill, his contemporary. Nile Rogers claimed DeAngelo consulted him for advice early in his career and asked him to critique his work. After checking out the cuts, Nile told him they were all album worthy.
  2. No. These conjoined twins have actually lived very productive lives. They finished college and taught school. And really did get married.
  3. Nope. Revulsion is the price I pay. Every time I make a trip to the garbage dumpster, you come to mind.
  4. @TroyYes, they had a reality show a while back. After pioneer kicked "ther" to the curb, ther gave up on black men and got married a coupla years ago to a salacious lookin white guy. 🙄
  5. @ProfDLotta BEAR fans complaining about the calls against their team, and Troy Aiken and Joe Buck's biased commentary during the game. Others are still crying in their beer over the team trading QB Justin Fields, who's currently struggling. Bear fans are a Krazy bunch. Btw, I appreciate your unbiased analysis of the team.👍 @ Troy Don't you remember when pioneer posted these pictures of him and his white girlfriend(s)?
  6. @ProfDAt the end of his life, I heard that Dick Gregory had became so consumed with conspiracy theories that he lapsed into an erratic mental state. Was there ever any kind of memorial tribute or public funeral for him?? His family just seemed to have quietly put him to rest...
  7. Trump is basking in his peacemaker role. Israel paying great homage to him while across town from me, tensions are mounting because there's a possibility that the Trump Reich will ignore the temporary order of a federal judge, prohibiting them from disobeying the constitution by going against her order to cease and desist their trespassing Our Mayor is so busy trying to prevent "outside agitators" from demonstrating that she's caught in the middle and definitely in over her head. Meanwhile, Illinois governor Jay Pritzker is doing a lot of big talk, trying to protect Chicago from what Trump is doing. The thing is is that downstate Illinois is MAGA country and has always resented the favoritism shown Chicago so he's can't count on full support in his actions. As one Chicago legal official said, "we're on the brink of chaos"! I read a quote supposedly from Trump claiming that there are beautiful black ladies in Chicago who approve of what he is doing here. What a farce! There's nothing to do but just laugh and shake your head. Kinda like what goes on on this board. Fortunately, I've never been one to seriously regard anyone who takes himself too seriously. 🤣 zzzzzzzzz
  8. @ProfDWell, after all of their last minute losses last season, DA BEARS have finally started to get a few breaks. ChiTown is happy!😺😄
  9. @TroyGlad you finally showed up! You been MIA. Leave it to you to smooth things over. I never thought about Mel's mom and me bonding, but that makes sense. (We come from a generation when people were more discreet, - and didn't make fools of themselves when trying to defend their indiscretion.) But, in pioneer's case, we to have to consider the source.
  10. Sorry, for using the wrong word. I should've said "encouragement" instead of "consolation". His tired ol routine is wearing thin, as opposed to his bloated ego.
  11. #Pioneer Well, look who crawled back out of his rat hole, his black tail dragging behind him. Still playing to the peanut gallery, convinced that that he has a fan club, frantically trying to control the narrative in order to feed his need to be in control. Too bad you have nothing better to do than to trot out pictures and make up stories, while imagining yourself as something other than the L-O-S-E-R that you are, - a specimen to be examined. I will continue to observe and comment on your desperate attempts to prevail because doing so, is a mere passtime, and laughter is good medicine. And YOU are a big obnoxious joke! 🤣
  12. Funny. Non existent Cynique receives a reply from pioneer who pathetically claimed he doesn't pay attention to aka contrarian who he advises is Cynique's alter ego. 😵‍💫 Pioneer just can't move on. Cognitive dissonance has him in its grip. He should really seek help. And, as is his usual MO. After he does all his dirty work, trying to get the last word, he steps back and hides behind a "Mr. Nice Guy" facade. In addition to all his other perversions, he's a psychopath! I'm done.
  13. @ProfDSo the BEAR-COMMANDERS game is Monday night! Hope the ,"bye" week won't have stifled da Bears' momentum. I'm not optimistic. Ohio State handed Illinois their lunch and the Cubs got eliminated from the playoffs. But at least a federal judge ruled in Illinois' favor and the Texas national guard cannot come in my town and protect the ICE encampment. You should probably go and console your buddy Pioneer who probably spent his whole afternoon composing a love letter to himself, trying to impress Mel. I hope she takes pity on him so he can move on. Poor ol fella.
  14. @Pioneer1Smh. You're such a fool. Not only a loser but a sore loser. A transparent loser, who anybody with any perception sees through. Still grasping at straws.LMAO.
  15. i forgot to mention that in addition to being a loser and a narcissist, you are also a pathological liar.
  16. Gotcha. Too bad the chronic LOSER has nothing to do.
  17. It amusing to observe your desperate attempts to save face. I've always said you're an ideal case study for narcisscism.
  18. yeah, yeah,yeah. So sez the LOSER who has nothing to do on a Saturday night.
  19. Give it up. You've become even more irrelevant. A 92 year old woman isn't an ideal foil for your sophmoric attempts at comedy. zzzzzzzz
  20. Back to grasping at straws again, and fantasizing. Grow up and get real. Too bad you have nothing better to do on a Saturday night. Loser.
  21. Pioneer, the maggot waiting to develope into a pesky buzzing fly, has spoken. Get the Raid.
  22. @Mel: and of course we have on- line forums where narcissistic windbags full of hot air like pioneer barge in on everybody's posts seeking attention, spamming the threads with silly pictures and imagined scenarios, seeking the approval others. He's all yours. Thank goodness we have the option to reject who we dislike.
  23. Yada, yada,yada, zzzzz. So says that well known authority on nothing.
  24. You're the last thing in the world I'd trust. Just keep imagining, like the deluded wanna be that you are, that you're something other than a crude poor excuse for a person of good character. Pathetic.
  25. @Mel HopkinsSo, in addition to all the Joy and beauty captured on the creative video, thanks to the nosy maliciousness of the bigot who repeatedly expresses disapproval of white guys and the black women who marry them, we now know that the father of your lovely daughters who you "got with" is not a big nosed Jew nor an Italian nor an average WASP in a plaid shirt! Excuse me if I thought pioneer's cross examination of you was in poor taste.
