Wow, this is an oldie of a photo. I shot that ages ago. Really do love the color though.
The Whitehouse sucks. I suggested it to an out-of-town friend and the old man behind the counter was so rude to him that I apologized to him for months afterward and never gave him another recommendation again.
Explosive up at Columbia? Is there more info?
Don Imus is still alive?????
Go I'Man Go. Freedom of speech. Equal Rights! Did what he say was 'offensive'? Mayby. Funny at the time? Yes. But it was 'funnyb' in my eyes. Does it mean I'm a racist? No. I laugh when black comedian's pick out our faults. It's funny. We all have our quirks. We all pick on each other, we all make fun of each other. Blacks make 'cracker' jokes about me. Do I care? No. Some of them are legit. It's just a different view on life as we know it. Take it with a grain of salt. We all move on. We're all Pink on the inside. I'm no huge Imus fan, but, it was a joke (maybe a poor one). Did anyone ever call Richard Pryor out when he busted on whitey? No. Because he was real, and we ALL realized and respected it. God how I wish I could have met him before he passed. Nobody ever called him out, because they knew what he was about. Nobody took offense. He was an honest man, which is very hard to find. Where was Sharpton then? It was a joke. Move on.
