  1. See some kind of political office in his future ….i mean why not we have had crack heads as presidents and other office positions so why not have a reformed dealer turned leader a chance…

      • the disloyal part brought many in the white house to tears…. watching him shit on his own for them is like a basketball fan watching sports center top ten play…But in all seriousness i see it to be very possible he has the money to buy favor votes and he is popular….doing a good job or being able to do a good fall’s last…the gov…does not want good fair workers…they want people that can lie and mislead with a smile not shitting on hov….cause good or bad he anit going no where and he is still ours….Part of me is in aww like wow is he a black super hero….than the other part ask’s dont hero’s fight for the weak and voiceless….

        • all im saying is slim a snake everybody he has ever dealt with has labeled him a snake. slim a fucked up dude so i wouldnt personally vote for slim just off that. thats just me though

          • i respect and praise that but how about the thought should all have a chance at a job…their all snake he fits perfect…hillary clinton is being considerdca option not cause she is good or fit but off herhusband name..sad part she can win just cause name and money backing not being a good person

      • as a person im trying to grow but im a libra so i question all and everything twice…i say that to ask u!! if any that would take the position in question are evil by the logic of them wanting power in the first place. should people of all races get a equal chance to be bad and evil….with a public job like mayor….In other word if we are going to get a lier either way and i promise it will be a lier either way why not j

  2. Shout out to Jay Z for taking a pic with the gov but not Eric Gardners family. Also anyone else find it ironic he doesn’t live in New York but is “their” consultant on current problems in New York? White people continue to think they can change our minds using a so called leader of the black community to agree with them like we are sheep. That shit is fucking insulting! How about talking to people in the actual community who live through it daily not some fucking millionaire who ain’t lived there in 20 years.

    • i had to upvote because dumbasses will let ur comment go over there head and not understand u just made the realist statement of the decade #salute homie
