Re: My dad's barbershop -- and personal responsibility
Yep.....it is these house negroes that make the advancement of black people harder due to the push in the opposite direction they assist the white racist CON with. What I really resent about those negroes is that they benefitted from the collective efforts of others and now want to nullify the same for those behind them.....a lower piece of shit the earth has not known......the blkCON house-negro.....sad azz bowed-head fuckers........

Re: Black Comedians And The "War On Terror"
I see your point, EP. I may have to disagree with you because many Arabs (and South Asians) before 9/11 didn't care that much about neither Blacks nor Latinos. In fact, many Arabs hated to be lumped with Blacks and Latinos, especially Latinos because Arabs and Latinos are both "Brown" people. I hate to say it, but a lot of non-black minorities have been saying "At least it ain't me" for a lot of years, because many (not all) of them have been jocking for positions on the racial totem pole in...
