Just wondering...
yet, here we are, being assaulted daily verbally and physically, and yet we have the white limp wristed jerks supporting their own demiss...
Who are the fags mentioned above?

What a load of nonsense! They should take a few minutes to learn the real story, “The War on Cops” —
Makes me sort of happy that the Lakers did NOT get CP3..want to know what all of these NBA players have in common, ALL live in wealthy white neighborhoods none of them would be caught dead in South Central or Compton..not without their armed guards of course
Expected. Too many concussions in that mob.
OK, WTF is all that supposed to mean?
Isn’t CP3 that homosexual robot in Star Wars?
...some are just stupid,some don’t read or think on their own and believe everything they hear
Most have never sacrifice
Ghetto Dictators, while they rake in millions they let their own rot in the Ghettos!!!
