Peasie dis a gwaan lang time before yuh time .. bout mojo

Lawd blugi deyah now.\o/ Blugi mi love how about yuh buddung di bakkle boom an sekkle yuh nerves.

I guess you would feel better if Precious was about a white rapist an a brute? Too bad there aren't enuff of those movies out dey wid dem dey eeh?

How about movies with White men as Bank robbers? White men as Pimps? White men as Mafias? White men as womanizers? White men as drug addicts? Those are some not so nice characters that I think is time Hollywood put pan di screen and lowe di black man dem ..noh true?
