No one says forget, but we should recognize obvious progress, and maintain perspective.” ---

You don;t see them protesting when it gets them things but when they feel they are not getting somthing its the first thing out of their mouth. And you know what the best thing about it is? This shit didin;t even happen to them. it happend to 3+ generations ago. No the current assholes that you always see bitching. Put down your “Nine” and pick up a fucking book. This day and age those who work for it get it plain and simple. If you believe anything othe rthan that you are not only nieve, but contributingt to the problem. ---

> [@showtime](#): > > & the reason there is BET is because “WET” is like every other channel on TV…except the WB. Well maybe if they would focus on more than gin and juice, bitches and hoe, mary jane and spinnaz while entertaining you would see more of their shit “main stream”. Chirst Bill Cosby even said that now and days its fucking pathedic and he was very popular when on TV with both comedy and learning. /end debat for qa different thread. ---
