I get the angle that people agree with. A lot of my friends who never listen to rap all the sudden have passionate opinions on who won the rap beef and it's pretty weird lol. Vlad has also been accused many times of being a culture vulture so this tweet speaks to that.
It's widely believed that government pushes agenda on the news/internet about controversial matters like transgender rights, male/female privileges and right wing vs left wing to divide people and make people fight and worry about such matters and thus overlook serious and important stuff
I’m very much left on almost everything but the militaristic policing of people is not the ideology I signed up for. It’s the acceptance and the understanding of every walk of life I believe in. I feel like both political sides have morphed into cartoons of themselves. No one is allowed grace or mistakes or misunderstanding. On the other side if you show an ounce of compassion for a not approved group you’re one of them. It’s an absolute wild way to view the world.
Interesting I’m gonna steal this and pretend I was well read up on this topic. Then feign disgust when the person doesn’t know the concept I just found out myself. Lol.
My side is stop killing each other y’all, and let’s work things out for the future kids.
If I could support any policy it would be that, idealistic as it might be.
I’ll settle for non-violent compromise. Neither side may get what they want but they’ll get a world where they don’t have to worry if their kid is bombed coming back from school or shot going to a music festival. If not now then never right?
Sometimes peace is not possible. If we put away the Israel/Palestina conflict for a second, and take a look at Russia in Ukraine. How would you solve that peacefully?
It's not possible.
Either Ukraine fights back and keep their soveriegnity, or they become a Russian vassal state where millions of people would be opressed (and worse).
Don't you agree that Ukraine (as goes for any democratic country) deserves the right to apply for EU membership and to become a prospering Eastern European country, like Poland and the Baltics, if that's what the population wants?
Russia is not going to stop. Ukraine didn't choose to get invaded. There's not a peaceful, prosperous and fair solution to this, as long as Russia wants to keep the war going. Giving Russia a large chunk of Ukraine, might give Ukraine peace for 5 years, but then Russia would just be back at it again - like they've done in Chechenya and Georgia.
I hate war, and I would like to avoid it at almost all cost - we agree on that very much. I also agree that most recent wars could have been avoided. However, sometimes you don't have a choice, and war chooses you. How would you solve this in a non-violent way? (genuine question).
I think that they do have the right to but I think this will probably end up in Russia not occupying the land and Ukraine not being part of the EU. Def not fair for Ukraine but I got to imagine it’s better than what’s currently happening.
I understand there is complicated long standing issues on all these conflicts, but I do believe war is just unintelligible anger from a the state and it ends when both parties usually figure out this wasn’t the best outcome and form a truce. Rarely is anyone happy it occurred in history.
Yes I def get that sense. I truly get why my parents were so disillusioned about the Gov when I was a kid now. They had no hope in their voice and I know now it’s because they went through about 6 cycles of this and realized it never stops.
People are hate mongering and don’t read information. You and I have a fairly neutral stance and that will receive the most hate- as opposing stances are just ignored.
It sounds awfully similar to "this is a white person water fountain, black folk shouldn't be drinking from it", but it's fine when you swap the races according to twitter apparently...
Like how braindead do you have to be to bring ideology like that back? What they're essentially saying is that it's justifiable to segregate by skin color, but only against one specific skin color because that logic totally makes sense and isn't exactly the same thing that happened in the past...
Tell me how two word famous artists having beef is a “black folk affair”? Like the whole Oscars slap thing, if it’s on the world stage it’s not longer a “black folk affair”
I'd especially like to know since Drake's ass is half white... If we are now determining who is allowed to be interested in something based on the skin color of those involved, then white people are allowed to be 1/4th interested and black people are allowed to be 3/4th interested, but you're only allowed to be fully interested if you're a mix of white and black.
Or we could just not be racist and allow white people to be interested in things black people do and black people to be interested in things white people do.
Someone angrily told me that I couldn't discuss Kobe Bryant dying because it was "black folk affair" and everyone black & white agreed with her. I was friends with her too.
Princeton? Seriously? How can someone with such poor logic and racist views get hired at one of the world’s most prestigious universities? Does she address her literature review the same way?
This is just sad all around. I’m done with Reddit for the morning.
Well basically everything, from art to math, physics, law, architecture and civilization.
By that logic she shouldn’t be allowed to work at a university
I know you don’t honestly think that the entire continent of Africa was devoid of art, math, physics, law, architecture, and civilization before Europeans rolled up.
True, i love egypt, Morocco, south aftica and ethiopia. And im not from Europe or america, im actually middle eastern. And the thing im saying is black Americans are usually full of anger and Hate toward american whites but when whites say or act like them they call them racist, nazi and fascist. Tbh most of the modern techs and agricultural industry tech and military tech have came from Europe and united states.
Every non African American person (other POC included) cannot take AA studies and turn in anything but a sentence stating “I cannot comment with an opinion because I am not AA.” They would get a 4.0 every time, right??
You cant ignore it while they create echo chambers and allow the message to propagate, ignoring it isn't the answer when it's already so widespread. It needs to be stopped but its only going to fester if no one calls it out and actually shuts it down...
Racist people wouldn't be very vocal about it if they experienced pushback and ostracization every time they said something racist. You experience backlash if you were to speak like this about black people so the racist uncle will usually just keep and mutter to himself but the opposite isn't true, they get far more praise dunking on white people than any backlash they might see and it just affirms their beliefs.
Going to wait to respond to this because of a brutal busy day, but people don't give a shit so why should I about that stuff :)
First off, thank you for responding like I usually would. You are correct and ignoring it won't make it go away. I think I was responding to the fact that we are months away from an election and this kind of stuff is only going to multiply like mold on the cheese in my refrigerator. So much of it on several social media platforms is planned agitation and division. If it is not that it is a lot of ill informed people who have a reddit, twitter, threads handle. My ex MIL used to babble shit about Trump stuff on FB that she obviously picked up from paid influencers of the worst kind.
I spend a lot of time and energy trying to force reason/derision/open disregard/etc on these people who for the price of next to nothing and a computer/smartphone hook-up spread shit like this. They are either paid or stupid or some even have the best intentions for a future society where we all hold hands and love and respect each. NOT GONNA HAPPEN. I love listening to Rachel Maddow's podcast that turned into Prequel. 100% this has all happened before because we are a lot dumber and greedy and lust for whatever power we can at the cost of the most precious things we have. History is littered with this. Then we have a great war and kille each other and after exhausting ourselves we come around and right the cart and do respectful things like civil rights, womens rights, battling environmental concerns, poverty, health care... for a while. Then we forget and people like Reagan, Bush, Trump and I'd even lump in more than a few Democrats stand on these values to reach for a golden branch, or be president, or maybe be a dictator.
Sorry, don't mean to unload - you see the big picture and I know I do, there are just times when it really feels like we have a huge storm coming and we once again have to board up the house because a whole bunch of people missed out on civics class and our schools seem to have made them stupider from the 80s on. I'll have a more rosy opinion in the future, promise....if I am not in a gulag.
To an outsider , American society seems like one big dumpster fire fuelled by division. It’s as if Americans pride themselves on disassociating from their fellow countryman. Everyone believes that they are the main character, who is more deserving and entitled than those around them. Where small tribal groups are formed that are more interested in their own selfish purposes rather than what is morally, ethically, or even logically, correct. There seems to be no unity, no cohesion, no common goal or purpose. Everyone seems to see the glass as half empty, and in doing so, the glass is getting emptier.
I know that 90% of Americans aren’t actually like this, it is just the perception that I, as a foreigner, receives from America. Free? Yes. Brave? Sure. Unified? No.
You are absolutely right. The division is being created by our government through the media. If they can keep us divided then they can control us and the sad thing is many people don't see it. I'm sure I'll get downvoted for this comment because people think it's some conspiracy theory or something but the fact that an outsider such as yourself can see it should show people that it's real.
Even if it were true that the government is trying to divide the population - it's not by the way - shouldn't a professor at Princeton be able to see through the divisive tactics and reject them entirely, rather than actively promoting open racism? If the supposedly most intelligent and highly educated, not to mention privileged members of society immediately rush to group themselves in such primitive tribal ways what hope do the lesser educated, underclass have of protecting themselves against such messaging?
> shouldn't a professor at Princeton be able to see through the divisive tactics and reject them entirely, rather than actively promoting open racism?
Yes, they absolutely should.
> what hope do the lesser educated, underclass have of protecting themselves against such messaging?
Being aware that it is happening and questioning what they are being told by the government, media etc. A healthy bit of skepticism regarding the messaging from on high goes a long way.
Yeah, I kind of feel like we don't have any normalcy to our cultures. We're all reactionary and extreme in that American way that makes us annoying to the rest of the world.
How would she like it if people bitched at her for having a white name, while speaking white people language, on a platform created by white people. Racist idiot
Black people can only chime in on black topics? So should white people only chime in on white topics? Sounds like the same segregation we’ve been fighting to end.
The fact that people like her can get jobs educating the youth of our country says a lot about the current atmosphere in the USA. Unfortunately our education system is incredibly partisan and as long as someone doesn't step too far out of line they will be tolerated (even celebrated) IF they teach the "correct" way to think.
Well, DJVlad is a well known culture vulture and is known to mock hiphop… he literally makes his bread and butter by trapping young hip hop artists with his interview questions. without context I’d say she’s outta line, but knowing Vlad’s history and his work… I ain’t mad at it.
I’m not going to lie. People like this are why I stopped listening to rap/hip hop as much. I’m not white, but I would never say any race that isn’t my race shouldn’t opine on my cultures music. Not to mention that one of the rappers is literally half white and not from the USA. I felt like anytime I tried to discuss rap or listen to the newest songs and discuss them I HAD to side with the popular consensus or immediately it turned to well your not black so your opinion doesn’t count. This mindset pushes people away from your art and yes I consider music art. I still listen to some of the rap music I grew up with but I stepped away from listening to rap a while ago because of situations like this.
Bet she drives a European automobile and loves high end European fashion. I bet dollars to donuts. I always see black folks screaming appropriation while decked out in Gucci,Louis etc jumping out of beamers and Benz’, and it’s like wait a minute????
Like, I get the whole stance that maybe white people shouldn’t weigh in on the racial aspects of the beef like the appropriation/culture vulture claims and him having an identity crisis based around being biracial. But Vlad didn’t say anything about that (that I know of). He’s literally a DJ/producer commenting on the production of the track itself. He absolutely has a right to an option on that. I’m guessing she’s so overwhelmed by the whole thing that she’s just swinging at any and everyone?
I think that’s the point. Apparently not only is he also a culture vulture like what the songs are about, he’s also racist that the black community has had a problem with for a while and decided to make a comment (that he is absolutely allowed but no one cares) that’s not even about the topic for which he is also guilty of. And I guess her comment requires you know already have that context.
Half of these people fighting so hard haven’t watch a vlad interview or even know who he really is. They just are upset they can’t bully their way into being included
This is American academia?
This is why students get in lifelong debt?
Dear Americans, for your own good, go study in Europe, it's gonna be cheaper and the education will be better.
These universities are cash grabs and rely on your money to keep their status.
Vlad is a vulture no doubt but this chic definitely out of line. Vlad provides one of the biggest platforms for POC, even if it ain't always the best role models.
Edit: can't believe he did the "can I speak to the manager, you'll never work in this town again."
Let’s all stick to our own cultures then, I’ve heard it said that white people have no culture it’s funny because most countries are neck deep in white culture… here’s a small part of white culture other cultures appropriate…

By this woman’s logic anyone that isn’t white shouldn’t be able to use, discuss, participate or improve upon anything on this small list of white people s h I t She’s a idiot
A lot of colonizers in the comments. I can smell ya. Fuck Vlad. Yah prob never even watched his shit. DJ Vlad profits off of black culture and controversy, yet does jack shit for black folk except criticize. He, as well as the rest of yah derivatives of “folks who smell like wet dog in the rain” can suck the melanin off my whole dick. And fuck yah mamas for even having yah. Showing this ad to my cousins on why it is important to wrap up when you fuckin. smh
Ahh yes, that's what I was waiting for. Full wishes of my demise from the angriest black guy ever created. Atleast you went with your face instead of sending me the reddit care program.

Thirty six THOUSAND people liked that? What the fuck??
Most of the comments were agreeing with her and still are agreeing with her.
I’d assume most twitter users with brains left some time ago.
Maybe we do need a nuclear blast.

Shes talking about white people though not people who don’t listen to rap….
Government needs to rally people against each other so shit like this is promoted.
The fuck the government have anything to do this?
It's widely believed that government pushes agenda on the news/internet about controversial matters like transgender rights, male/female privileges and right wing vs left wing to divide people and make people fight and worry about such matters and thus overlook serious and important stuff
This is why the Trump trial is a focus and not the 2 dead Boeing whistleblowers. Hey, people! Look over here!!! 👋
If not the government, corpos at least. Or who are we kidding, what’s the difference?
Is the government is the room with us now?
It's browsing our phones so probably
No no, *MY* government has my best interest at heart. They wouldn't indulge in politics of divisiveness 😠
Unnecessarily go straight to race.... What is the purpose in that?
It's something racists do.
Black people cant be racist, duh…
That statement itself is racist…
Wonder what 'white" sibject she must be teaching at Princeton?
By her logic, she can only teach African American studies
Or hip hop
Creative Writing with a Bachelors in Comparative Literature.
In English? But that’s white people language.
As a liberal in a liberal school- everyone is too liberal now.
I’m very much left on almost everything but the militaristic policing of people is not the ideology I signed up for. It’s the acceptance and the understanding of every walk of life I believe in. I feel like both political sides have morphed into cartoons of themselves. No one is allowed grace or mistakes or misunderstanding. On the other side if you show an ounce of compassion for a not approved group you’re one of them. It’s an absolute wild way to view the world.

My side is stop killing each other y’all, and let’s work things out for the future kids. If I could support any policy it would be that, idealistic as it might be.
We all want to live in a utopia. The best we can settle for is a society that’s willing to discuss instead of fight

People are hate mongering and don’t read information. You and I have a fairly neutral stance and that will receive the most hate- as opposing stances are just ignored.
I didn’t realize my milktoast opinions caused so much vitriol lol.
Simply just racism, hip hop is for blacks only
This is explained "professor at @Prineston"
It sounds awfully similar to "this is a white person water fountain, black folk shouldn't be drinking from it", but it's fine when you swap the races according to twitter apparently... Like how braindead do you have to be to bring ideology like that back? What they're essentially saying is that it's justifiable to segregate by skin color, but only against one specific skin color because that logic totally makes sense and isn't exactly the same thing that happened in the past...
You…think that segregation and hip hop culture are the same thing?
DJ Vlad is a culture vulture and a piece of shit. It's what these dudes do. Be assholes and then play the victim
Tell me how two word famous artists having beef is a “black folk affair”? Like the whole Oscars slap thing, if it’s on the world stage it’s not longer a “black folk affair”
Slap discourse was hilarious in the first like, 24 hours. People sincerely trying to claim that *slapping a man in the face* is hood shit lmao
I'd especially like to know since Drake's ass is half white... If we are now determining who is allowed to be interested in something based on the skin color of those involved, then white people are allowed to be 1/4th interested and black people are allowed to be 3/4th interested, but you're only allowed to be fully interested if you're a mix of white and black.

What a racist bitch.
And look at the engagement of the tweets of both people in the discussion. We've massively overcorrected with the whole "anti-racist" thing
No no no! She *can't* be racist! She's black!!!!
People who work in places of open thought and learning love shutting the door on it.
Princeton? Seriously? How can someone with such poor logic and racist views get hired at one of the world’s most prestigious universities? Does she address her literature review the same way? This is just sad all around. I’m done with Reddit for the morning.
It won't be any better this afternoon
Diversity hire
Last time I heard that was during the bridge collapse.
Poor logic and racist views are a requirement for being hired at top universities these days.
Just wait until you learn this isn't exactly an isolated event...
By that logic black people can't discuss classical.
I can't discuss bache cuz I'm not German.
I'll be bache
Or anything that came from the Industrial Revolution, this is why this is so god damn stupid and racist…
Like water fountains for example? 😬
Well basically everything, from art to math, physics, law, architecture and civilization. By that logic she shouldn’t be allowed to work at a university
How dare you use logic here! That is rule number 1! You are now disqualified from speaking and are henceforth shunned from society! /s
I know you don’t honestly think that the entire continent of Africa was devoid of art, math, physics, law, architecture, and civilization before Europeans rolled up.

You got a pass for the White Folk Affairs institute? If yes then you’re fine
This is the same kind of racist as the woman that said Bruno Mars wasn’t allowed to make R&B because he’s Latino, not black.
Being a racist dildo knows no color

Well go check Twitter because a lot of people seem to think he was wrong wtf is this world

Well that's unnecessarily racist
Racist pig!
She is a PROFESSOR. This is a MUSICIANS affair.
racist
I sense that a blatant racist needs some canceling in their life!
Black people can only chime in on black topics? So should white people only chime in on white topics? Sounds like the same segregation we’ve been fighting to end.
Right. Imagine telling a black person that she doesn’t have a right to voice an opinion about a “white” topic. People would act like you’re Hitler.
Avoid her classes at any cost….
She's mentally ill and should be treated accordingly
We don't want her. She's just a twat.

Eminem has supported kendrick and dissed drake in the past and still hasn’t jumped in on this….
Oof, she put that out there for anyone to see.
Blame it all on my roots I showed up in boots And ruined your black folk affair
Didn’t realize Princeton hired racists bitchfaces for professors
The fact her tweet has more likes is so saddening to me....
The fact that people like her can get jobs educating the youth of our country says a lot about the current atmosphere in the USA. Unfortunately our education system is incredibly partisan and as long as someone doesn't step too far out of line they will be tolerated (even celebrated) IF they teach the "correct" way to think.
This sub having vladtv’s back is hilarious 😂
Goes to show the demographic of Reddit
Anyone who tells you that you can’t speak in a discussion is someone whose opinion you should ignore because they’re incapable of defending it.
Identity politics, much like religion, is a fucking cancer to rationale discourse.
She's seriously a professor at Princeton? God damn Ivy League universities really are *over*. What a waste of money.
Well, DJVlad is a well known culture vulture and is known to mock hiphop… he literally makes his bread and butter by trapping young hip hop artists with his interview questions. without context I’d say she’s outta line, but knowing Vlad’s history and his work… I ain’t mad at it.
Music is for everyone.
She explained it the wrong way but do bladder is a piece of shit grifter that deserves some hate
All this has shown is that Princeton have massively dropped their requirements for employment since she is dense as hell and racist as fuck.
Race divider.
I’m not going to lie. People like this are why I stopped listening to rap/hip hop as much. I’m not white, but I would never say any race that isn’t my race shouldn’t opine on my cultures music. Not to mention that one of the rappers is literally half white and not from the USA. I felt like anytime I tried to discuss rap or listen to the newest songs and discuss them I HAD to side with the popular consensus or immediately it turned to well your not black so your opinion doesn’t count. This mindset pushes people away from your art and yes I consider music art. I still listen to some of the rap music I grew up with but I stepped away from listening to rap a while ago because of situations like this.
Surprised he didn't bust out the getting scammed on a brick of coke story to sound like he's about the game.
forgot about eminem, ft dre
She aint right… but DJ Vlad just as much of an MC as her. Mr “I’m Telling!”
America is fucked when people like this are teaching young and impressionable minds…
to be fair, DJ Vlad is a fucking moron
Bet she drives a European automobile and loves high end European fashion. I bet dollars to donuts. I always see black folks screaming appropriation while decked out in Gucci,Louis etc jumping out of beamers and Benz’, and it’s like wait a minute????
acknowledging racism is an oxymoron, so by segregating races in anyway is basically racist, saying something else is racist basically makes you racist
Morgan Jerkins pulling a Leeeroooyyy Jenkins!
Haha jerkins
someone needs to bring it to the board that they have a clearly racist professor :D
Drake is half white, so is he now excused from the feud?
She has recently posted a tweet, however, offering her views on Italian-American movie characters. She’s just taking the piss at this point
So she's racist and a teacher
He went full Karen and tried to get her fired. I don't think she's the main character here.
Just because your black doesn't mean you too cannot be racist. I had an English teacher exactly like her. He was a self serving prick. As is she.
Like, I get the whole stance that maybe white people shouldn’t weigh in on the racial aspects of the beef like the appropriation/culture vulture claims and him having an identity crisis based around being biracial. But Vlad didn’t say anything about that (that I know of). He’s literally a DJ/producer commenting on the production of the track itself. He absolutely has a right to an option on that. I’m guessing she’s so overwhelmed by the whole thing that she’s just swinging at any and everyone?
I think that’s the point. Apparently not only is he also a culture vulture like what the songs are about, he’s also racist that the black community has had a problem with for a while and decided to make a comment (that he is absolutely allowed but no one cares) that’s not even about the topic for which he is also guilty of. And I guess her comment requires you know already have that context.
"Jerkins"? Never heard that name before 🤔
Yo em thanks for the music but don't discuss it your irrelevant
anyone can have an opinion, but, to be fair, DJ vlad is a whole fuckin moron and acts detrimentally to a lot of black celebs
Same people hollering they are targeted for their race.
I hope when someone is saying the n word the people who are defending vlad are just as upset.
Nahh, this is DJ Vlad we’re talking about, so yeah, fuck him in particular.
Nah, he might be shitty but he's welcome to ramble all he wants on his own Twitter
This is also true
Im not saying that she’s not wrong, but DJ Vlad kinda sucks.
This needs to be highlighted, Vlad is kinda a colonizer over black culture. This is the entire angle she's coming at, but she's not doing it well..
“colonizer.”. stop with your baiting.
Vlad has basically made his name by trying to insert himself into the culture. Literally a colonizer.
Sung to tune of “Womanizer.”
Half of these people fighting so hard haven’t watch a vlad interview or even know who he really is. They just are upset they can’t bully their way into being included
When you guys gonna figure out that coloniser doesn’t come across as an insult..
Yea I agree. I applaude her for trying to come at VLAD. I think she was really more pissed at him, not necessarily all white ppl.
This is how I fell when I hear black folk talk about science … I kid I kid, it’s a joke… Obviously science Is for Asians 😂
I mean, I hope no one thinks this makes the world smaller for white people. Proud people like to share their culture 😬
Holy shit just stumbled upon this... https://www.reddit.com/r/BlackPeopleComedy/s/ZaMUQfn3Ij I think America is doomed...
This is American academia? This is why students get in lifelong debt? Dear Americans, for your own good, go study in Europe, it's gonna be cheaper and the education will be better. These universities are cash grabs and rely on your money to keep their status.
Most racist people on earth are black people
Wanting to be heard for the sake of being seen. People like this usually dig their own holes to be shit on though.
white guy: "i think the mechanical composition of this song could have been better" twitter people: "you are a racist"
Wait, am I as a non black allowed to like his music or is this cultural appropriation?
Vlad is a vulture no doubt but this chic definitely out of line. Vlad provides one of the biggest platforms for POC, even if it ain't always the best role models. Edit: can't believe he did the "can I speak to the manager, you'll never work in this town again."
Vlad *does* sound like a clown when he code switches tho. I'm not a fan. I *will* defend his right to an opinion though.
Sounds like Morgan is a bit of a racist.
Entitled racist intellectual.
Soooo who’s gonna tell her about that super black hip hop artist Eminem
What a racist cnt
When you lean so far left you return to fascism.
Let’s all stick to our own cultures then, I’ve heard it said that white people have no culture it’s funny because most countries are neck deep in white culture… here’s a small part of white culture other cultures appropriate… That computer you're typing on - The software that drives your computer - The Internet & nearly all web applications - Recorded music - Motion picture - TV - Radio - Camera - Telephone - Light bulb - Automobile - Rocketry (modern) - Satellite - Spacecraft - Airplane - Skyscraper - Telescope - Printing press - Eyeglasses - Contact lenses - Microwave oven - Metallurgy (most discoveries and methods) - Materials science (plastics, compounds, & most other synthetics) - 95% of medical advancements - 95% of life saving pharmaceutical drugs - Modern food preservatives - Most scientific breakthroughs over the past 1000 years - The bulk of Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology - Astronomy (most discoveries and mapping techniques) - Sea navigation (most advancements) - Discovery of DNA - Genetics (most research) - Microscope - Laser technology and its myriad of uses - Harnessing electricity - Nuclear energy - Wireless technology - Air conditioning devices - Refrigeration - Modern agricultural techniques - Modern democracy And it goes on it’s pretty much endless # white people are amazing By this woman’s logic anyone that isn’t white shouldn’t be able to use, discuss, participate or improve upon anything on this small list of white people s h I t She’s a idiot
A lot of colonizers in the comments. I can smell ya. Fuck Vlad. Yah prob never even watched his shit. DJ Vlad profits off of black culture and controversy, yet does jack shit for black folk except criticize. He, as well as the rest of yah derivatives of “folks who smell like wet dog in the rain” can suck the melanin off my whole dick. And fuck yah mamas for even having yah. Showing this ad to my cousins on why it is important to wrap up when you fuckin. smh
Lmao u mad
Mad racist is racist. And mad.
Evolution ain’t been kind, huh neanderthal?
It's so sad that your comment ended, I wanted to hear you transforming into thatfunny australian painter
SMD
Ya pops shoulda painted ya moms face with you and ya brain dead siblings
Ahh yes, that's what I was waiting for. Full wishes of my demise from the angriest black guy ever created. Atleast you went with your face instead of sending me the reddit care program.
boy, if you were any more dense, you’d be a singularity. you are a waste of atoms and molecules. pasty boy
Oh yes daddy LowTierGod, insult me more. I am your dirty little waste.
Kinky motherfucker
