And none of the Wayans stuff wasn’t racial?

I don’t know who that is but it’s not Catherine Bach.
It is just the beginning of the purge. Good bye Green Acres, after all they moved to where the husband wanted not the wife and of course no blacks in starting roles.
At the very least they edit the flag off the car and yes they can do that.
I don’t know either...
...but I’m in love. LOL!
Democrats want Black people to stick to playing on the field and court of theDNC choice.
At least it wasn't Jessica Simpson.
Thanks for that, this thread would have been useless without pictures of Miss Daisy.
