We have multiple black people working on our sales floor in Irvine. Not once have I heard a story of them being pulled over for being black while driving. These people would be more than willing to volunteer that information. 

Ok Andre.

I'm just relaying the experiences of our workers. Maybe Andre should pay his registration.

Joke's on you, Lou. For that post, when it comes to names:

A = A

d = a

n = d

r = m

e = __

I love Weezer, not their new black album though. It kind of sucks 

I liked the Black Album, but I didn't love it. I don't go back and listen to those songs very often.

But I do love the two singles released so far for Van Weezer.

Have you sat down with them and asked if they've ever been harassed, looked at with suspicion, or felt threatened because of their race?

Troops are assembling outside D.C.

This thing will either fizzle out soon or we're in for some martial law.

I asked one of our managers that a while back. He moved from Crenshaw to OC about 10 years ago. He said he's been "looked at with suspicion" a couple times but it didn't bother him. He never mentioned feeling threatened in Orange County. If I asked him that he would probably laugh and say "motherfucker I grew up in Crenshaw" lol.

Where do these people buy bullhorns?

In all of the stores I've been in over my entire life, I've never seen one for sale.

he proceeded to tell me that since he had worked in Irvine (about 12 months) he had been pulled over 36 times and never cited for anything.

36 times in 12 months? In Irvine? Holly shit. I'm tempted to ask some of my black coworkers, or would that be insensitive

I like the dudes who do sports interviews but feel the need to have the book collection where it purposely shows the Pete Sampras biography and some random teams football helmet on the shelf.

yeah, those are always good. some even have a few trophies/awards visible, too.  i wonder why none of them ever have hockey masks or baseball helmets, and frankly, i feel a bit margginalized because of it.

I keep seeing this a lot, recently.

When did the word "holy" turn into "holly"?

And it's always holly shit which is essentially bush shit.

don't forget a framed copy of your perfect attendance certificate from junior high and a gold medal with the red, white, and blue ribbon from your 5th grade class olympics.
