Trady mark is trademarked.
It's time to deport them back to their continent of origin if they commit any felony. They want to claim dual nationalities, let's let them have the benefits of such claims.
We learned all about those churches from Reverend Wright and Farrakhan
But something else was stronger. Peer influence? Public schools? Rap music?....Lack of paternalistic guidance?
The correct phrase is: "He was thinking about going back to school to get his GED and marry one of his baby mammas".
But magically, three more democRAT votes. Many of these misguided yutes are of more value to their community dead than alive.
The store I worked at was also in the neighborhood where the carjacking took place and a mile or two from the double murder torture to follow some have heard about.
I'm glad this guy didn't kill someone. According to our local paper he was becoming more and more agressive in his robberies.
Not necessarily. You know the cemetaries are active on election day.
Pet Peeve....;)
>>But something else was stronger. Peer influence? Public schools? Rap music? Whatever it was, he’s dead.
After teaching 3 years in a 99% black HS, I can say that it’s a lack of a father. My brother in law is black (my sister is white) and he is simply an awesome guy. His father and mother are still married and instilled in him the values that made him the successful father he is today.
The black males that have no father that I taught are listless and looking for SOME male figure to adhere to. Most of them choose whatever rapper is famous at the time because of rap’s false masculinity. Rap tries to act like a man, but a masculine man marries, cares for his kids, and loves his wife.
It’s sad that people can’t see this as vividly as I can.
“a masculine man marries, cares for his kids, and loves his wife.”
Well said.
I disagree unequivocally. Shoot the bastard at the first opportunity; all 17 rounds in the magazine.
He made the decision that his life was worth $20, $30, $100 or so. Who are we to disagree?
I am going to steal that line, even though it made me spit out a mouthful of coffee.
They already are.
