UPTOWN SATURDAY NIGHT!


WHAT WENT WRONG?



In the 70,s you rarely would see raggedy people amongst us, we were good looking ,the women were beautiful and the men were actually men, what a great time to remember, when we called each other brother,and a women a sista because of the love we had back then for each other. Now we have become macho thugs and sluts that stare at each other with hate,the women will not even speak to you out of fear, we glorify and boast the very issues which keep us on the bottom...

one day coming soon those dummies will pay a heavy price for choosing the way of the devil.

MOCKING THE DEATH OF EMMETT TILL.
