FaceTiming Pamela Anderson: Nothing can prepare you for this
Nothing can prepare you for FaceTiming Pamela Anderson. One second there is only you - staring, through a layer of iPhone glass, at your tired, trapped reflection, both of you hoping that is not how you actually look - and the next second there is Pamela Anderson, brightening the screen instantaneously and completely, the way a ray of sun stretching beyond a cloud can seem to bounce off the whole Pacific.

Lipps Inc. -- Funkytown is the #TBT song of the day and this is the OPEN THREAD for right now . . .
So when does the march for Mr. Francois' senseless death at the hands of the usual suspects start?
ReplyDeleteDoesn't fit the narrative.
Nothing to see here.
Just like the other 75+ homicides in KCMO already this year.
Marching and making ridiculous demands about an event in another state while ignoring the endless tragedies right here in their own neighborhoods year after year after year.
How can anyone take these people seriously?
Sad.
A black man killed more than likely by another black man. But hey that's just business as usual. When blacks kill one another the black community accepts that as collateral damage of being black. If a white man had done the killing the BLM group would be burning the place down.
ReplyDeleteBLM is a joke and the nation as a whole see it just as that. The few whites you see in thses protests are not those who really care about BLM they just there for the media attention and the hope of maybe a huge cash payout if a cop beats them.
In 2018 there were 7,407 black homicide victims of which 90% were killed by a fellow black man. Black lives don't matter to black people and the statistics prove so.
Any of you libs care to refute the above 2 comments?
ReplyDeleteLet's condense it down to one question: Why does Black Lives Matter totally ignore the epidemic of black on black killings in this country?
^^^Call me crazy, but those who work under the motto "to protect and serve" shouldn't be killing those in their custody. It happens at an alarmingly disproportionate rate to African Americans vs. Caucasians.
ReplyDeleteNo one is debating blacks killing blacks. What aboutism is the rights favorite game.
^^ Answer the question lib.
ReplyDeleteWhy does Black Lives Matter totally ignore the epidemic of black on black killings in this country?
@8:25 In 2019 341 unarmed whites were killed by police as opposed to 245 blacks. Put that stat in your crack pipe and smoke it.
ReplyDeleteYep, Why not bring to light this fact... Black on Black crimes

He was robbed and killed by blacks.
No lib wants to answer the simple question of:
ReplyDeleteWhy does Black Lives Matter totally ignore the epidemic of black on black killings in this country?
Any takers? Chimpy maybe?
What examples do you have they are ignoring it?
ReplyDelete@8:59 We all have stuff to do today and friends to be with. We all can't be on here all day begging for someone to talk to us like you. Maybe if you weren't such a horrible person , you might have something to do. Now go away!
ReplyDelete^^ Care to answer the simple question? Go ahead and give it a try.
ReplyDelete@9:41 Name one documented thing BLM has ever said about the travesty of black on black killings.
You libs can't answer a simple question but want to be taken seriously. Too funny!
^^You seem really, really, really desperate for some human contact. Maybe if you weren't such an awful human being somebody would talk to you. Thank about that.
ReplyDeleteOnce again, Chimpy has a moment of reflection in the mirror. Good job monkey!
Delete^^ And you and your lib buddies can't answer a simple question thus showing your arguments are moot.
ReplyDeleteWhat does "Thank about that mean" anyway? Ebonics maybe?
^^^Crickets....crickets....chirp....chirp........
ReplyDelete^^Once again, you prove to be his biggest fan. Weird.
ReplyDeleteOh Chimpy. Getting beat like a drum today! Referee, stop the fight! Lol
Delete^^and again, here you are professing your love. He pulls the strings and you respond like the puppet you are. Weird.
