Troy Man you ask, "what does he want his audience to do?" Dude, you are doing it! You are talking about his music and his video and raising his profile. Don't you see you are actively promoting his video -- I only saw it because of you. I'm not promoting it....I'm CRITIQUING it. Not only is there a difference, but the after effects are different. Most people don't want the NEGATIVE ATTENTION that comes from the criticizm He obviously wants attention to push his brand; but I think he also wants MORE than just attention. I believe he also is trying to put out a message to his target audience. My criticizm isn't aimed at his ability to garner attention so much as it's over the seemingly confusing and garbled message he's trying to send. 　 Can you name any other businesses, that you actually like, that you talked about here is say the last month? Not at the moment. But you know how human beings are, most tend not to talk as much about what they like as they do about what they DON'T like. If you look back on your life, how many friends have come to you to talk about how WELL things are going with their wife or girlfriend? They usually are COMPLAINING about something they don't like. People don't go to the doctor to tell them how great things are going, they usually go with a complaint. Look at the news and how most of what's reported is of a negative nature from crime to war. It's human nature man.

　 Del Half your age plus 9 years. So the only person that should be sleeping with a 16 year old is a 17 year old. What's your cut off for teenagers? I've also heard "half your age plus 7" for an ideal mate. I'm not sure about those old sayings. I say go with who compliments you.....or with NO ONE at all. Some people are asexual and aren't sexually attracted to anyone, others are free spirits and simply just aren't good at relationships. They're happier and better off alone.

Del You may not be his demographic. Scorsese and Glover may win an award. I wouldn't be suprised if Glover did win an award. White people aren't very good at recognizing REAL Black talent and art when they see it. They either judge Black talent by THEIR standards and what THEY find artistic..... Or if they're sincerely trying to be fair and open minded they'll monitor the response of BLACK PEOPLE to a particular work and determine it's worth base on the Black response to it. Kind of like they did with rap music...lol. Based on my limited knowledge of the linear way most White people think, I don't see them being too fond of this video...not necessarily because of it's political message....but simply because the video doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. But if enough Black people make a lot of noise and clamour over it and praise it as genius, they'll give it an award or two just to appear fair and placate...lol. Mel I hear what you're saying, but how much INFLUENCE do these Black youth groups have politically or financially? Conservative talk show host Laura Ingram said something silly about one of the Parkland protestors and he was so effective in clapping back at her that he damn near got her show taken off the air! How many Black youth organizations have that type of media influence? And more importantly, how much of a positive effect are they having on the violence in their community? It seems to me that the violence in Chicago has remained steadily high if not increased. I'm not saying that Glover and Trump are in the same PROFESSION.....lol. I'm just saying they're both public figures. And being that they're both public figures with social sway and have heavy influence on society....especially their target audiences....how is that influence being harnessed and used. Trump has been VERY effective with his approach....hell it got him in the White House. Like it or not, atleast Trump has a CLEAR AGENDA and is pushing it to his audience. Clear and direct....no need to dance and sing and ride white horses all around the damn yard and squirm around with his hair messy. But we don't know WHAT the hell Gambino's agenda is.....besides selling music. The man dances around a warehouse with his shirt off shooting people......ok.....so what's the message? Is he simply trying to portray America as violent? Does he want gun control? Does he want police brutality to stop? What exactly does he want his audience to do? I bet if you got 25 young Black people in a room and made them watch this video and later on asked them what the message was....you'd get aleast 20 different responses.

TIME OUT If you're REALLY a Black man, then you know how serious it is to insult another Black man's mother. Until you apologize for this statement.....communication between us has STOPPED.

Troy Yes, perhaps the ONLY value of this video is that it's bringing more fame to Danny Glover (Childish Gambino) and his work.....because I sure don't see anything positive coming from this. What's really got me worked up about this video and the reaction of the youth to it is how naive and easily influenced they are over bullshit. White kids in Florida have one major shooting and they get bold and organized enough to march on Washington D.C., demand attention from the media, and even get legislation changed. Black folks living with violence for decades and the most some of these young people can pull out of their ass is some bushy headed negro making a video with his shirt off bucking his eyes and twerking with Black folks getting shot in the background.......and that's supposed to be the answer to the violence? 　 　 　 Del Did you see the man riding the horse in the video? No it is not. I saw the person riding the white horse. A lot of people were talking about THAT TOO and talking about how deep and symbolic it was. I didn't see the significance of him adding that to the video what so ever.

　 K2 Just like my fair skin and the image you choose make us no more other than Black men with a dominate African gene, if you are in-fact a Black man, that is. If YOU are is the real question.....lol. I thought you said you were a Black man, what are you doing with "fair" skin? 　 　 In Africa, who were the Blacks most African people rejected, and why? I think they were the dark-skinned people who migrated to African from Egypt and other parts of the desert. Not to make money or mix with other Blacks (because they believed those Africans' morals were compromised, their polytheist ways of life). These are the African's said to be the ones who traded those rejected Blacks to Jewish owned vessels manned by European Whites. Ohhhhh...... I think I've got your angle now. You're a Hebrew Israelite! Or atleast have a belief that AfroAmericans are the lost Hebrews or Israelites who ended up in America. I suppose you also believe in the Bible, Joseph, Adam and Eve, ect....

Sean Carter is Jay Z's government name.

　 I understand your skepticism in religion as, other than, a system to establish ethical values that bring order to a society; in which case it is quite possible Jews and White Caucasians went through great pains to develop a myth aimed to cement White power. You pretty much summed up the way I feel about MOST of the religions I've studied so far. Arab males go to other countries as first steps towards U.S. citizenship, for both freedom - escape from traditions of their own culture; and for monetary benefit which they have access to more than Blacks. Correction: Black and Brown people are not indigenous in the U.S. This sounds like the same thing European males did. The poor White European men wanted to be "free" from the cultural oppression that forced them to pay tributes to the kings and queens and restricted their sexual opportunities. So what did they do? Those with nothing to lose and who just got out of jail piled up in ships and sailed to Africa, India, the Americas, and Australia exploring, getting rich, and having sex with as many of the native women as they could get their hands on. The Lebanese men, Palestinian men, Syrian men all tend to be WHITE SKINNED or LIGHT SKINNED Arabs who feel the need to go abroad to make their money. They go to Haiti, Brazil, Cuba, Liberia, and other African nations and have sex with the native women and set up businesses to get rich in these places. These men....by the way....tend to be a mixure of both Christian and Muslim Arabs who are doing this. This shows me that despite the religions these Caucasian men CLAIM to believe in....most of them still have the same racist mentality. 　 Correction: Black and Brown people are not indigenous in the U.S.  The brown people are what you call "Native Americans". Most of the Native Americans you see today being called "red" are MIXED with White....the original ones were much darker and brown in color. While most of the Black people in America were descended from those brought from Africa, a large portion were NOT. There were Black people here in America LONG before Columbus. 　 　 Furthermore, under a patriarchal system where a hegemonic group control almost everything, "caste systems" is just another name to justify, separate circles of power of approval and disapproval. I hear what you're saying about the patriarchal system, however why don't I hear about Liberian MEN or Haitian MEN or Congolese MEN going to Lebanon or Palestine setting up businesses and marrying LEBONESE WOMEN or PALESTINIAN WOMEN? If it's about the Patriarchy then it would be ALL men doing the same things to ALL women in all countries.......but it's not. It's a one sided light/White men doing it to dark/Black nations. 　 I recognize those responsible for most conditions of Blacks in American. They are not Arabs, Brown, Asian, nor Native peoples. AND YOU?  Not only do I agree, I'm beginning to believe that those people MOST responsible for the condition of Blacks in America are BLACK PEOPLE THEMSELVES.

Sean Carter???? I didn't know JAY Z was a Harvard educated lawyer......lol.

EMM Lol....... So you're basically gong to ignore all the points I made in my previous post and continue on? Well, since you don't like the terms Black, Negro, or African what do you think our people SHOULD be called? "Israelites"? "Beta Israel"? "Children of Israel"? "Hebrews"?

Troy Lol....... If ANYTHING would appeal to a gay white mason....lol....I would think a brother with his shirt off squirming around on the screen would do the job! I searched around for more and deeper explainations of the symbolism of this video and one of the most thorough I found was an article in the Huffington Post. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/childish-gambino-this-is-america_us_5af05c12e4b041fd2d28d8e9 Among the list of explainations I found interesting are the following: This Is America" is set entirely in a drab warehouse, which some viewers interpreted as the country’s foundation, built on systemic white supremacy and oppression. "Much of this seems to take place in a building/warehouse where the foundation and support systems (the beams) are mostly white," tweeted @JarridGreen. Some veteran Childish Gambino fans pointed out similarities to his 2011 "Freaks and Geeks" music video, which also takes place in a warehouse. 　 Fans were obsessed with Childish Gambino’s nod to African dances, including Shoki and Gwara Gwara, a style of dance popularized in South Africa (and featured in Rihanna’s 2018 Grammys performance). "Childish Gambino reeks of talent," tweeted @muchman16. "I loved the part where those kids danced shoki and gwara gwara." Others pointed out how dance trends can distract from the life-or-death situations affecting black communities. 　 Each time Childish Gambino fires a gun in "This Is America," he hands it off to someone who whisks it away in a red cloth. Viewers interpreted these scenes as a reference to Americans’ willingness to protect gun rights over people, despite the country’s alarmingly high rates of gun violence. "Because this is America," tweeted @Shugah. "We shoot up schools, churches, each other and then we place the guns tenderly in a cloth to protect them. And then 　 One viewer suggested the apparent suicide scene points to a pervasive mental illness stigma plaguing the African-American community. "Does the man jumping to his death that goes largely unnoticed because of Gambino’s dancing serve as a reminder that suicide & poor mental health in the African American community is being ignored," asked @JuelzKojoey on Twitter. 　 One of the most disturbing scenes in "This Is America" features an all-black church choir getting shot up with an assault-style rifle. The massacre appears to be a reference to the 2015 mass shooting at a church in Charleston, South Carolina, in which a white gunman killed nine black churchgoers. "Childish Gambino really made a reference to the Charleston church shooting that happened in 2015," tweeted @EmanThatKid. "He shows how mass shootings are normalized in America, even if you shooting up a place of worship." 　 In one scene, black teenagers use their phones to record the chaos unfolding below, as their mouths appear to be covered by a white material. Some viewers believed this to be a reference to the rise of viral videos of police brutality and racist encounters to overcome the metaphorical muzzling of black people in a white supremacist system. "Kids are seen recording everything on their phones, referencing the use of livestreams in police shootings as a means of documenting and sharing the truth," tweeted @thelocalemo. "Gambino’s lyrics state, ‘this is a celly, that’s a tool.’" I think you're right that my age and experience could be playing a role as to why I'm not receiving the video in the same way perhaps the younger generation is. Many of them see it as some profound work of genius. But more so than being jaded with the issue Gambino is trying to portray, as I alluded to earlier I actually think he's being COUNTER PRODUCTIVE by drowning so many real issues that should be confronted and discussed directly with all of this symbolism and disassociative dancing. One of the reasons Trump was so successful with the base was because he spoke to them PLAINLY and DIRECTLY. He didn't speak in metaphors and symbols and didn't get on stage dancing around in circles doing the Irish River Dance...... as a way of expressing their frustrations. Trump said THIS IS THE PROBLEM AND THIS IS THE SOLUTION.....simple, straight forward, and his base got the message. For a 30 something year old man (Gambino) to make some silly ass video of him dancing around while violence and mayhem is going down in the background; and where nearly all the victims AND villians of the video are Black and calling it "America" is not only pointless but makes Black people look like a bunch of irrational fools in the eyes of many people.

As I've said before, I don't believe the original Israelites (if they even existed) were Black. I believe that they symbolized the White or Caucasian race. Most of those people overthere don't know their OWN true history. They just end up arguing with eachother over myths. Who's the "seed" of who and who's from the "line" of who.....arguing over mythological characters they read in some religious book who never existed in the first place. As far as the Arabs living in the Middle East not having the same mentality as the ones here in America.....I don't know. I haven't been to the Middle East so I can't argue you on that. But many Lebanese and Palestinians have gone to many African, Carribean, and South American nations and have set up businesses in this nations among the Black and Brown indigenous peoples and have exploited them. The Arab men typically marry and have sex with the indigenous women but forbid THEIR women from marrying and having sex with the indigenous men. It was brought to my attention a couple days ago that the Lebanese have been in the African nation of Liberia for decades owning businesses, exploiting the native population, and marrying the women forming caste systems. Remember that ARABS....like JEWS.....aren't a race but an ETHNIC GROUP. The Arabs for the most part are the offspring of the Caucasian men who came down out of the mountains and mixed it up with the Black women of the civilizations they conquered in that region. Although most Arabs are mixed, many of them are Black and many of them are White and are just as racist and oppressive as a racist European. Even many of the Black and dark ones have the same anti-Black and anti-African mentality as White Arabs.....take a look at how the dark Arabs of Sudan treat other non-Arab Africans. And ofcourse the Black and African Jews of Israel are on the lowest rung of the ladder and face all types of oppression and discrimination from the White Jews of Israel. Many Black Israelis aren't even recognized as being Jewish. My point of that picture wasn't to say that Abbas and Netanyahu were identical twins and bosom buddies.......but to say that they were of the same race with the same mindset. They may PRETEND not to like eachother or oppose eachother but at the end of the day they are on the same team and feel the same way about Black people....including the Black and dark skinned among the Palestinians.

THIS IS AMERICA So many people are going crazy over this video and talking about how "deep" it is and all of the hidden and symbolic messages it contains. I admit I'm not too smart, so I'm not ashamed to say I just don't see the significance of it. Outside of his portrayal of America as a violent place.....what exactly are the messages Danny is trying to convey? Too me, this video is borderline DISGRACEFUL and an EMBARASSMENT to Black America for a number of reasons: 1. The only person I noticed committing acts of violence in the video are BLACK.....namely Danny (Childish Gambino) himself! 2. There is too much pointless dancing and swaying for any message he's trying to send to be taken seriously. 3. Why did he portray the Church massacre that was done by a young racist White man with a hand gun.....as being done by a Black man with an assault rifle? That was ass backwards in my opinion. 4. He did a couple of slick "Michael Jackson" type dance moves towards the end of the video but for the most part it was just him and a few others squirming around and making funny faces as if they were having convulsions.....no style or rhythm. But obviously this is just MY opinion, perhaps more enlightened minds can explain to me what I'm missing about this work.

In this case when I say "we" I'm talking about Black people globally. Now Arabs............ Do you realize that many if not most Arabs ARE Caucasian as well? One of the first places White people went when they came down out of the Caucasus mountains was Arabia to attack the Black civilizations that existed there. Many if not most Arabs have the same anti-Black mentality that White Europeans have and are less refined with it. Arabs routinely refer to Black people as "abeed" or "slave". And this is why I say Black people shouldn't involve themselves in the Arab-Jew conflict. Both Ethiopia and Somalia are predominately Musim African nations....but how much help do they get from the rest of the Muslim world? Or does most of their economic aid come from the West? The "hegemony" you're talking about that exists between the Europeans and the Jews also includes many of the Arabs and "Arab type" people like Iranians. They'll shout and argue with eachother on televsion and claim not to like eachother but with the exception of Saudi Arabia if you go to their countries you'll see the White Aras and White Persians ruling and running the nation while the darker citizens of the nation are usually poor and powerless. Look at the Palestinians being oppressed and killed: And look at the Palestinians and Israelis who are in power: Both of them are clearly of the SAME RACE despite their claimed religion or claimed nationality My point is Caucasians around the world despite religion or region are together.

K2 Moreover, the resolution you propose: "you help poor people by providing them with descent paying jobs as well as making housing, education, and other basic necessities affordable for them," is the one thing that'll never happen. Unless we make it happen. It's about TIME you started saying something I agreed with....lol. I've been saying for years and years now that the only time things will change for Black people in the ghettos of America is when OTHER Black people with more knowledge and resources stop being afraid of their own people and go into the 'hood to establish justice. Right now Trump is talking about sending the "feds" into Chicago to curb the violence going on there. Federal authorities are already there....so I'm not sure what "feds" he's talking about other than sending in the National Guard. But all of this talk could have been avoided if BLACK MEN would have organized to stop the foolishness going on there themselves. You have the Nation of Islam, the Hebrew Israelites, the Moors and a score of other Black nationalist organizations in Chicago with more than enough Black men with the skills and physical abilities to go in and establish order in the worst of neighborhoods. What's stopping them? Look at gentrification and how 10 and 15 years ago White kids started moving into the MOST DANGEROUS neighborhoods of New York and Washington D.C. The same neighborhoods wealthy Black folks were afraid to even DRIVE through let alone invest any time or money in improving......small framed White folks with glasses were walking their dogs and jogging in skimpy shorts through with no one so much as giving them a mean look. If I didn't know any better, I'd say White folks got together and decided the only way to calm these negroes down and get them to see how stupid they were and how unqualified they were to govern themselves is to just move out and GIVE THEM the cities to operate.....and then bet money with eachother over how many decades it would take before negroes will be BEGGING White folks to come back and take the cities over again. But I know better than to even entertain a thought like that......

After hearing more of Kanye's TMZ interview I have to say...... That nicca'z crazy as hell! Just watch this for yourself: I think he's on something.

K2 Pioneer1: I unequivocally disagree; not only what Jews, whites, etc., to do each other is of significant importance to trhe world, it is especially important to Black folk, if for nothing than indicators of what to expect. Your signature also, necessarily suggests caring what they do to each other to understand White supremacy. Again, you insist on SEPARATING Jews from other White people as if their religion or ethnicity makes them some sort of racial anomaly. Can you please explain to me IN SPECIFICS what Jews have done to Black people that has been worse than what British, Germans, Russians or any other segment of the White race has done to our people? And perhaps you're right that what they do to eachother matters......but only to the extent that it may FORESHADOW what they plan and want to do to people of color. So perhaps we should study the history of White on White conflict to get a better understand But as far as GETTING INVOLVED with their conflicts......it's silly in my opinion. Picture this.............. A Black man with sandles on and a turban wrapped around his head calling himself a Muslim wants to stand there with his fists balled up ready to fight a Black Christian over what the White Christians did to Black folks in the name of Christianity......but totally ignore what the White Arabs did to Black people in the name of Islam. And neither one of the 2 invented Christianity or Islam. A Black Repubican is on television fighting and foaming at the mouth with a Black Democrat over some lame ass isssue. But neither one of them invented the Republican or Democrat Party Too often when Black people involve themselves in White concernes they become TOO involved and they begin to take their focus away from the real issues.

Homelessness all over the United States has skyrocketed for 2 main reasons: 1. Millions of mentally ill people who WERE institutionalized but were discharged or those who SHOULD be institutionalized but are not and instead must roam the streets looking for a way ot survive, and 2. Millions of people who were thrown out on the streets after most of the housing projects all over America were torn down since the 80s K2 　 Many of the Black upper and middle class opposition to the proximity to public housing and susidized housing was and is actually justified. I saw frst hand how simply re-arranging people and shipping thousands of poor and destitute people to working and upper middle class communities RUINED those communities because of an increase of crime, deterioration of the school district, and an overall deterioration of the physical attractiveness of the neighorhoods. White people aren't the only people with standards and oppose their communities turning into ghettoes.....plenty of Black people feel the same way. But the White media in the United States has a nasty habit of lumping ALL Black people together and ignoring any differences in idealogy or even behavior between them. You don't help poor people by moving them next to rich people. That only breeds envy, contempt, and resentment. You help poor people by providing them with descent paying jobs as well as making housing, education, and other basic necessities AFFORDABLE for them. Pioneer1: Please don't confuse "surely you can do better than that" for any part of your commentary as rational! I think YOU'RE confused about my response to your statement......lol.

Lol..... I was introduced to him along with TD Jakes through a conservative Christian channel called TBN that my mother used to watch all the time. The first time I saw him I didn't trust him. Yes the funny jheri curl or s-curl or whatever the hell he had going on along with his "funny style" manner made him suspect...lol. But he just seemed fake and "funny acting" as if he was putting on a big show. It may sound weird, but it's hard for me to trust Black men who seemingly loose all bass in their voices and talk fast and "extra proper". Kind of like the Black conservative pundit Larry Elder if you know who that is.

At least Caucasians and Anglo Saxons offered their BS apologies for their parts in Black slavery; Jews, on the other hand out-right refuse to do the same. Anglo Saxons ARE Caucasians....and so are most Jews (especially the Ashkenazi ones). I hear what you're saying but I think the argument against Jews is a Caucasian in-fighting one that we as AfroAmericans need not get too involved in. Whatever Jews are doing to other Caucasians.....whether they are European Caucasians or Arab Caucasians....shouldn't be too much concern of ours because Caucasians Jews, Caucasian Christians, and Caucasian Arabs have had a major role in enslaving and exploiting Africans for thousands of years. My signature below my posts warns people that if they don't understand White supremacy and how it works everything else they understand will only confuse them. At the end of the day, to a White racist...the ONLY religion they recognize and practice is the religion of White Supremacy. It doesn't matter if they call themselves a Jew, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, or atheist....they all believe in the same thing. Dominating and mistreating people of color.

I had an issue or two with Oprah Winfrey, but atleast she was a REAL Black woman who inspired pride and confidence in much of the Black community. But Wendy Williams is just sad. The masculine facial features..... The straight blonde hair..... The fake emotional behavior....... Sad She reminds me of Michael Jackson in looks as well as behavior. But who I really feel sorry for are the young Black girls who look to women like her and Beyonce (sorry Mel) as role models. These are the type of "Black" women being promoted by Hollywood for our young girls to look up to.....causing further psychological damage to an already damaged demographic.

I'll believe it ONLY WHEN I actually see the impeachment proceedings starting. Do any of you think the people who run this governemnt and PUT Trump in office are so stupid that they didn't think of all of this before he even got in? Many people didn't think he would even last his first year, and he's still in going strong and pushing his agenda as well as those who put him in. And look at what he's doing with North Korea and how he's being praised as the world's savior. That's not an accident. I believe he will use North Korea and the "peace" he's claiming to make as his "ace in the hole" if the shit gets too thick. These rich dictators all over the world are sticking together. .

K2 B.S., NO THEY DON'T, people NEED to be left alone to pursue their own version of life, liberty, and happiness. In-order to maintain their sanity; that needs no validation, at all Now just look at this logically....... If people were "left alone" as you say....how would they receive serious medical care and like surgeries that most have no knowledge of how to perform? If people were "left alone" as you say....who would protect these individuals from groups of vandals and mobs who would surely attempt to prey on them? Human beings need eachother.....some more than others...but all do to a certain degree. people can never avoid interaction with others. If people can NEVER avoid interaction with eachother....then how did you come to the conclusion that they DIDN'T need validation from eachother? Again, B.S., speaking for myself, I need no-one to validate me, not even my wonderful wife. If your wife didn't validate your worth....YOU WOULDN'T BE MARRIED. You obviously needed her validation and attraction to you in order for her to marry you, unless it was an arranged marriage. Half dressed women at sporting events are not meant to validate males, they are there to excite, provoke, and lure males to the box-office and refreshment stands. What about the cheerleaders of MIDDLE SCHOOL and HIGH SCHOOL games where there usually are no tickets or refreshments to be sold? And why not male cheerleaders who would just as easily excite the female spectators? Once again, you only got it HALF right. 　 NO, NO, NO, most men are happy spending long periods of time with women because they want just one, to sleep with. No no no...to WHAT? What exactly did I say that you disagree with? Or are you just disagreeing to be disagreeable? Any one will do. And if that produces no satisfaction, he'll go down the hall where the males are; Oh, so it is your belief that people can TURN homosexual at will or based on conditions. How enlightened....lol. 　 　 and if that fails he'll go over to the barn. It's what people do Assuming that YOU'RE a person.....is that what YOU have done? When there were no women around for you did YOU turn to men or to animals or even the sticks and stones to have sex with?

Ofcourse.....lol.....but that was enough for YOU.

K2 You missed the point, completely. We not talking about privileged people, or people living the 'apartment' life with hope, knowing that soon one-day they'll have enough saved-up to put a hefty down-payment on a house. No, we'll talking about families living on-top of each-other with barely enough to eat, little and no hope for tomorrow. People who must watch their White neighbors living fine lives while they can only wish for such. I don't know what stand out point the "we" you refered to was making....but YOU were making several points. One of which was about the unnatural density of people living together inside a space less than half the size of a mall. And I addressed THAT particular point with a point of my own.....pointing out the fact that populationd density and overcrowding isn't the biggest problem because there are examples of people living together in relative harmony with far more population density. Sure, we Black folk are irresponsible, violent, and uninformed (ignorant) but we are human beings, products of our environment, 'chips off the old block' of greed, perversity, and corruption. SO, WHAT! Does that mean we're unworthy of respect, justice, and a future? Not sure if this question is rhetorical or not...... But if it isn't....why are you asking ME? You sound like a complaining Whiteman unhappy because there's no room for him to drive around. It's not enough to be a GAY WHITE MASON.....who TROLLS the internet. But to be a GRUMPY one who's upset because he doesn't have enough room to DRIVE AROUND (and do what....pick up sexy young Black men ???)......takes the cake, lol.
