@luftballooneyegouge Who, Tomi’s comments? I disagree with his/her. I think this is the difficult conversation that needs to be had, but people are too afraid to have.
I do like reading the comments section on all articles. There are some funny and smart people out there.
@luftballooneyegouge You might like this video better. It’s Ice T’s – Body Count, No Lives Matter. It takes the I’m Not Racist video to the next level.
@Fletch
He’s a moron because he was a pimp who robbed people at gunpoint.
There’s no talent. He’s mediocre at his best.
He robbed people, pimped women, and sold that shit to a generation of kids.
Pimping is organised-serial-rape.
@Fletch
George W Bush doesn’t invade Iraq anymore.
Seems to me some crimes just bring out the judgmental side in me.
I already said why he’s a moron. Why are you asking the same question again?
Ice-T comes out with Cop Killer, gee that helped the situation.
Now Ice-t comes out with this one, & he’s a genius?
@luftballooneyegouge
I can’t say anything about his acting as I don’t watch Crime/Dramas on TV. His show has been on since 1999, so somebody thinks he can act.
This “talent-less, moron” wrote these amazing lyrics. I think his band, Body Count is bad ass! There is a whole of of conversation that can come out of these lyrics:
It’s unfortunate that we even have to say ‘Black Lives Matter’, I mean, if you go through history nobody ever gave a fuck. I mean, you can kill black people in the street, nobody goes to jail, nobody goes to prison. But when I say ‘Black Lives Matter’ and you say ‘All Lives Matter’, that’s like if I was to say ‘Gay Lives Matter’ and you say ‘All Lives Matter’. If I said, ‘Women’s Lives Matter’ and you say ‘All Lives Matter’, you’re diluting what I’m saying. You’re diluting the issue. The issue isn’t about everybody. It’s about black lives, at the moment
But the truth of the matter is, they don’t really give a fuck about anybody, if you break this shit all the way down to the low fucking dirty-ass truth
[Verse 1]
We say that ‘Black Lives Matter’
Well truthfully they really never have
No one ever really gave a fuck
Just read your bullshit history books
But honestly it ain’t just black
It’s yellow, it’s brown, it’s red
It’s anyone who ain’t got cash
Poor whites that they call trash
[Pre-Chorus]
They can’t, fuck with us
Once they realise we’re all on the same side
They can’t, split us up
And let them prosper off the divide
They can’t, fuck with us
Once they realize we’re all on the same side
They can’t, split us up
And let them prosper off the divide
[Chorus]
Don’t fall for the bait and switch
Racism is real, but not it
They fuck whoever can’t fight back
But now we gotta change all that
The people have had enough
Right now, it’s them against us
This shit is ugly to the core
When it comes to the poor
No lives matter
[Verse 2]
America’s always been
A place that judge my skin
And racism is real as fuck
Ain’t no way to play that off
And in the eyes of the law
Black skin has always stood for poor
This is basic shit
They know who they fucking with
[Pre-Chorus]
They can’t, fuck with us
Once they realise we’re all on the same side
They can’t, split us up
And let them prosper off the divide
They can’t, fuck with us
Once they realize we’re all on the same side
They can’t, split us up
And let them prosper off the divide
[Chorus]
Don’t fall for the bait and switch
Racism is real, but not it
They fuck whoever can’t fight back
But now we gotta change all that
The people have had enough
Right now, it’s them against us
This shit is ugly to the core
When it comes to the poor
No lives matter
“I don’t think art is propaganda; it should be something that liberates the soul, provokes the imagination and encourages people to go further. It celebrates humanity instead of manipulating it.”
Just hating something, calling it names, or clicking dislike without discussion is…well weenie like…wouldn’t you say?
@luftballooneyegouge I was referring to the whole, how people respond…not just you. We disagree on what a discussion/conversation is. I don’t think a conversation is posting a link to what others say about something. That’s just me.
When someone comes at me with shouting and rants ——- I shut down and leave the area. I don’t listen unless their points are presented in a normal tone of voice. So, I could not get through these, nor understand the gripes spit out in angry machine-gun fashion. I don’t listen to that kind of wall-of-noise. I had to click my mouse and leave.
@Fletch@immortal_pirate That’s easy for a bunch of white folk to say, isn’t it? These are open wounds, and no one here wants to talk about it. I get it.
@Gina and even if I wanted to discuss these issues with you, no matter what I said, if it differed with your opinions, you would come back with “well, you’re a white male, so how would you know what if feels like to …. (fill in the blank) …”
@Fletch Agreed. I actually like the Body County, No Lives Matter song/video even more. I think it really hits the target as to the root cause of a whole lot of issues in this country.
If we don’t acknowledge and study what is wrong, forgiveness is an empty gesture.

on a side note, I wish we could edit our posts after posting them like we can our responses. It was supposed to read…We WERE Humans Until…
@Gina
The comment section, for the most part, nails my feelings on the matter.

@Gina
I felt the same with everybody that posted a comment, the last time I looked at them.
@luftballooneyegouge You might like this video better. It’s Ice T’s – Body Count, No Lives Matter. It takes the I’m Not Racist video to the next level.
@Gina
Ice-T is a moron. He never came out with anything good. He can’t act.
@luftballooneyegouge
he’s a moron because you don’t like his talents?
@Fletch
He’s a moron because he was a pimp who robbed people at gunpoint.
There’s no talent. He’s mediocre at his best.
He robbed people, pimped women, and sold that shit to a generation of kids.
Pimping is organised-serial-rape.
@luftballooneyegouge Do you believe in reform, evolving and rehabilitation?
@Gina
Reform? Evolution? Rehabilitation?
He sold it as a life-style.
Look kids be a pimp and put guns in people’s faces & you too can be successful.
Pimping is organised-serial-rape,…. and he got away with it.
….oh but thaaat Maaaatt Daaaaaaaamon!

@luftballooneyegouge
Does he still rob, pimp, and sell shit?
Seems to me people can change for the better, no matter their pasts.
You also mentioned “There’s no talent. He’s mediocre at his best” again so it’s obvious you don’t like his musical talent, so for that he’s a moron?
@Fletch
George W Bush doesn’t invade Iraq anymore.
Seems to me some crimes just bring out the judgmental side in me.
I already said why he’s a moron. Why are you asking the same question again?

The bar isn’t just low, it’s buried.
@luftballooneyegouge
ok kid – just relax
@Fletch
I rest my case.
@luftballooneyegouge
must hit close to home..
@luftballooneyegouge
rebuttal
@Fletch
You’ve never really brought anything have you? I think I’ll just block you.
@luftballooneyegouge
That’s better.
@luftballooneyegouge
just block, no need to make an announcement.
lol@u

@luftballooneyegouge As Keith Haring said about art:
“I don’t think art is propaganda; it should be something that liberates the soul, provokes the imagination and encourages people to go further. It celebrates humanity instead of manipulating it.”
Just hating something, calling it names, or clicking dislike without discussion is…well weenie like…wouldn’t you say?
@Gina
I didn’t call it a name.
I didn’t click dislike.
I posted a discussion.
@luftballooneyegouge I was referring to the whole, how people respond…not just you. We disagree on what a discussion/conversation is. I don’t think a conversation is posting a link to what others say about something. That’s just me.
@Gina
I didn’t want to say in front of the kids how Joyner Lucas dropped the ball, so I used that link.
When someone comes at me with shouting and rants ——- I shut down and leave the area. I don’t listen unless their points are presented in a normal tone of voice. So, I could not get through these, nor understand the gripes spit out in angry machine-gun fashion. I don’t listen to that kind of wall-of-noise. I had to click my mouse and leave.
Forgive me, but I see no value in kicking open old wounds…
@immortal_pirate “Old wounds”? I beg to differ.
@Gina just…forgive.
@immortal_pirate
I like this motto, well said, sirrrrrrrr Pirate.
@Fletch @immortal_pirate That’s easy for a bunch of white folk to say, isn’t it? These are open wounds, and no one here wants to talk about it. I get it.
Good night, and good luck.
@Gina
I didn’t say forget, nor did I say that responsibility wasn’t needed to be taken. It was a general statement.
Do you have forgiveness in your heart?
@Fletch I certainly do have forgiveness in my heart, but in this scenario, who are “we” forgiving?
@Gina I’m not commenting on any specific situation or scenario. No need for me to get dismissed because I’m a white male.
P&L
@Gina and even if I wanted to discuss these issues with you, no matter what I said, if it differed with your opinions, you would come back with “well, you’re a white male, so how would you know what if feels like to …. (fill in the blank) …”
So I will not comment anymore.
Peace & Love
@Fletch Agreed. I actually like the Body County, No Lives Matter song/video even more. I think it really hits the target as to the root cause of a whole lot of issues in this country.
If we don’t acknowledge and study what is wrong, forgiveness is an empty gesture.
@immortal_pirate Forgiveness without an apology is what….? How does that occur?
What does forgiving mean to you?
@Gina That is between you and God…
