It's more than favor earned or deserved done in spite us...a word we're not used to. Like a ship with an anchor, there's always hope.

Especially after his loan disgrace, etc. But the bottom line is that Clueless is like most of his negro brethren - he ultimately doesn’t give a shit about anything that doesn’t put him in the spotlight. Most negroes would sell their own mothers for a dollar or 15 minutes of fame. Evolution gave them a raw deal.

It doesn’t help anything, doesn’t make us money, matter of fact it costs us to use his name so what’s to gain? Absolutely nothing, naming a street after him is so passé and unnecessary at this stage of the game. Leave the park in his name and let it go. <br /><br />We see what naming a street after a black fake rev like the cleave did, turned it into a shit hole is exactly what it did, floods every time it rains, it’s falling apart and it’s next to flush creek which is the most polluted stream in the state, kinda fits the cleave doesn’t it!
