It pisses me off to see thugs sporting Bob Marley hair, as if they’re some kind of peaceful Rastafarian. Shave that shit off and reveal your prison tattoos.
You should talk about pissing people off. Is there anything in life that you don’t proclaim you’re an expert at or know everything about?
Tyrell Jones! This guy never had a chance in life. His mom was a crack whore and his dad never stuck around for a DNA test before he was off with a another whore! He grew up on the rough streets started drinking and doing drugs. Met some white trash and started pimping them hoes! Tyrell never finishe the 8 th grade and can’t even spell his mother middle name. He has 10 kids by 8 baby mommas and has never see 7 of them. Tyrell is the poster child of what is wrong with the African American community. Black children raised by a child with no true guidance in a white society that hates them simply because they have color in thier skin. A society that is rigged to assist the black man to reach its ultimate goal of imprismemt or death. Tyrell’s only mistake is that he was born black in America! He was taught to hate himself and to believe he was never to amount to anything other than making fast money pimping woman who are as oppressed as he is. In so many ways they are victims. So forgive me if I don’t rant and rave or even agree with your rendition of his hair. In the sceme of things, that is the least of his worries.
some nice friends she has
