    Income tax was only meant for the rich, so what happened?

    When the income tax was first proposed, it was meant to be for the top % of earners in the US. They were going to "tax the rich" and told everyone else not to worry. Only the super-wealthy would be giving 2 or 3% of their earnings. Then we had a war. Suddenly, they had to tax more to supply it...

    The walking dead has a new season dafuq?

    I loved the first few seasons but I think back in like 2015, I stopped watching it. I don't remember what season it was on but I just remember falling asleep watching an episode and never bothering with it again. I had no idea it was even still going. Holy crap. I thought with the ratings, the...

    White liberals being the voice of black people needs to stop!

    When all the riots and stuff were going down, I remember seeing a video of two black women yelling at two or three white women wearing all black. They were spraypainting BLM on the side of a Starbucks and they were yelling at them to stop because they don't want them to be blamed for it. The one...

    How do you feel about the Taliban in Afghanistan rounding up all their coons and how the blowback impacts Black Americans?

    They do this with other nations all the time instead of helping those within the country itself. Like, look at the state of black communities across America. Now you want to bring in immigrants who will have no working or language skills? Where do you think they are going to live? They are going...

    Do you expect your woman to submit to mediocrity?

    They set the trap and blamed everyone for falling for it. At one point in the US, black folks had better marital stats (successful marriages) than whites as well. WTF happened there? The government is what happened. I don't know where they get at with this crap either. Like yeah sure you are...

    We need to see something new in movies, TV series, comics, etc.

    The is true. Like, imagine if you took an actor like Denzel and had a powerful, intelligent, experience black team behind him writing a movie. It would not only be well received with the black community but I could bet you everyone else would enjoy it too. I am sick of seeing the thug narrative...

    What brands do you like in terms of clothing?

    Old Navy has some good shirts. Even dress pants. I have gotten a number of things from them in the last few years and I am impressed. They have cheaper stuff but the quality is impressive.

    Favorite MMA fighter, lets gooo!!!!!

    When he was still in action, Quinton Jackson was the dude I always had to watch. It has been a while since I watched MMA though. I am not sure who is worth watching. I should get back into it. I am not sure why I stopped following it. Was probably around the time I was working two jobs, just...

    Thoughts on LBJ?

    I was a fan of his in his early career. I thought he was a wholesome dude. Had family values and everything. I really felt like he was truly an NBA player younger people could look up to. I noticed since he went to LA though, a lot about the dude changed. The one thing that really soured me on...

    What's your deal breaker in a relationship?

    Drug use and excessive drinking. I can't deal with that stuff. I have been around both and dated both and it never ends well. I was with someone who actually was stealing from me. It just isn't worth it.

    We need to see something new in movies, TV series, comics, etc.

    I am so sick of seeing Hollywood "blackwash" characters who were formally white just to make things "less white" or more minority friendly. They do this with men too, making them into women. There are so many powerful black figures throughout history that can be made into movies or TV shows...

    What’s your go to streaming service?

    I gave up on Netflix back in 2013. I tried Hulu but now they show ads even if you pay for the service. Disney + doesn't appeal to me. I only have Amazon's and that is because it comes with Prime accounts by default. I don't use it often. I pay for cable I hardly use so I justify my use of...

    What brands do you like in terms of clothing?

    I noticed a lot of brands go downhill over the years. The quality and styles just aren't the same anymore. I tend to just find random brands I like that are more affordable and make comfortable clothing but I still have my preferences. Like for shoes and whatnot, I almost always buy Puma. For...

    Do you expect your woman to submit to mediocrity?

    I sure hope so. I know a lot of people are waking up to it. They designed a system to keep black folks relying on the government and it sickens me every time I see people suffering because of it.

    You guys still on Twitter?

    That says it all right there. They just want people fighting each other and not working together. It is sick. I see so much and so many people suffering and anytime you try to speak out with any solutions that don't follow the narrative they want, they silence you. The fact that they got so many...

    Fargo

    Yeah, it seems to be the case for a lot of TV series. I actually check ratings before watching anything anymore cause I don't want to get invested and have the rug pulled out from underneath me after having invested so much time into watching something.

    Do you expect your woman to submit to mediocrity?

    I think respect is more important. You don't want to be with a woman who disrespects you just as much as you don't want to be with a man who disrespects you. It is a two-way road. If we are talking about unfairness and the involvement of the state, Obama addressed this. The lack of fatherhood...

    What's up with the push for women to be proud and fat?

    I am not trying to be disrespectful, if you love yourself the way you are more power to you but past a certain point of weight gain... It just isn't a good look. It isn't healthy either. I keep seeing this being pushed on women, especially women of color. How is this a good thing long-term? Like...

    Favorite food

    Pizza is up there man so I get it! I mean if I had to pick only one, I would have to say Chinese. The Americanized greasy stuff. I love the fried rice, the lemon chicken, even the ribs and I am not big on ribs. Most places have a good selection of stuff and no matter where you go, you know what...

    Are you planning on seeing Candyman?

    They rebooted this!? Since when!? It was my favorite horror movie growing up. I don't think I can watch this. I feel like reboots ruin classics all too often. Man, I really hope this one does better but I have many doubts. I think I will just forget I heard about this and go about my day LOL!
