JLo doing a Motown tribute is the equivalent of Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, and Luke Bryan doing an Earth Wind & Fire tribute or Chris Stapleton and Florida Georgia Line doing an Isley Brothers tribute. It should not happen.

JHud should be doing the tribute anyway.

Start the thread, I'm ready to get this cracker outta here:wow:
Facts. Gotta love the irony of a thread on non black people who don't stay in their place or respect the race but a white cac-asian "former" police officer @unit321 is commenting on black issues that he's been wrong and ignorant on and has made several blatantly racist statements throughout this thread and that shyt gets ignored. Tells me, a black female to suck white man dycks. Then goes on to "profile" me as a white male, when he's the one who's actually white himself while posting a racist image of a gremlin then joking about it. But no one says shyt about it when he's taking on the same type of characteristics as the subject in the op. Wooooooww.
