Other than AW all I can access is theview.com and tampax.com.  And I assume somehow @Taylor is skewing the analytics enough that the filter thinks angelswin is a menstruation related website.

What’s it like beating off to Joy Behar?

Yep, any kind of racially fueled violence and harassment is wrong. But I wouldn't assume the Black community is ambivalent about the issue.

Spend a week in the inner city. You’ll learn more about the black community in a week then you did your entire college and professional life. Right now you are essentially a 15 year old virgin offering porn advice to Ron Jeremy

Good one @Crampknees.

Come back tomorrow and tell us what you learned from the boob tube.

Ohh, sick burn there.

Taking it a bit far this morning, Cramp? Did Cecil beat your ass in golf again and you had to buy the beer this time?

16,17,18 are the hardest holes on the course and I went birdie, birdie, par. Was some boob tube shit if there ever was.  Most importantly though is all I could think about is Jay's sick burn I had coming.  He disappointed.

Was one of those birdie putts a 60 footer on a sidehill lie that changed directions twice before settling into the bottom of the cup?

No and that was a sick burn.

Sorry Jay, I do buy the first round unless Blarg offers first.

I’d like to know @tdawg87s opinion on this.

I mean he probably has some knowledge. I’m assuming Lateesha lives in government housing

i worked for three summers as the director of a church day camp in lynwood (part of east LA for those who don't know) while in my 20s. rough neighborhood outside of our church and school campus, a place where a guy like me wouldn't be especially safe walking around on his own. i couldn't wait to get to work and see those kids. they were amazing regardless of what their home life was like, and i really treasured my time with them. it's an experience i wish more people could have.

Yes , that’s really what the country needs to help these kids. It’s still an uphill battle with their family situations so crazy. Unfortunately, the damn libs fill these kids heads with lies and want to justify their behaviors. The average virtue signaling lefty would drop dead before giving their time to impact these kids lives. 
 

on a side note. This reminded me of an old Marine friend who had family in Lynwood. For whatever reason , those young punks would yell Lynwood mother fucker randomly at people as some sort of challenge.

I did an appraisal for a triplex in Lynwood back in another life. That place has some serious ghettoness to it. Not East LA though more toward South Central.

Years ago, I wanted to break into covering high school basketball and took a "job" with the now defunct Herald Examiner.  They basically paid you by the game - not really a full time job.  My first assignment was a game at Manual Arts High School, who played against Los Angeles High School.  It was quite the experience.  I definitely stood out in the crowd, but I didn't have any problems at all.  Covered the game, interviewed the coach and had my first published piece in the next day's paper.

My next assignment was to travel to Fremont High School (at least, I think that was the school). I was prepared to go, but then I read about a shooting on campus.  I decided right there, it wasn't worth it and I quit. 

I have a diverse background, so I usually can sort of blend in just about anywhere.  Back in the day, I'd go to games at Crenshaw or other locations, some might not venture to.  I once went to check out a summer league game a LB Poly and I took a friend of mine with me, who is 6'6" and white.  We walked into the gym and I could tell he was instantly uneasy... I asked him if he waned to leave and he said, "yes."  We left. 

I used to take the Blue Line to downtown LA for work.  I took the train for 12 years.  The train passed by the Watts Towers.  I saw some interesting stuff on that line, but never had any trouble.  My favorite story is seeing two guys on the train and one says the other... "When did you get out?"

I could write a book about riding on that line for 12 years.

I have since changed jobs and I haven't been on that line since 2015.  Times have changed.  I don't know that I would do any of those things now.

The blue line makes all the other Metro lines look like Disneyland.

Tell me about it! I covered HS football in 2000 for the LA Times. Good luck finding a decent cup of coffee in South Santa Ana back then

He's seen black people before, and it was ok. His friend also tried it once, but it was not ok because he was too tall to feel comfortable.

I used to venture into areas some people might consider sketchy... but times have changed and I wouldn't do it now.
