no doubt.
duke was as confident.
ignorantly about everything.
as i seen anyone be to be honest.
which i directly attribute to him having a background like he had.
Plus his socialized experiences pushed to the max of survival limits.
on earth on all fronts possible in creation.
I think about guys like him and my uncle a lot from time to time. Like wtf did they go through back then.
From chicago west side gorilla to real us guerilla.
from laying cats in the front bushes.
to the real nose in the mud in the bushes type guy frfr.
ironically, he could cook like a motherfukker too, tho.
it was wild.
this eptiome of the mean but somehow likeable giant.
if you disarmed him type of guy.
who was not typically prone to being open to disarming socially type of giant black man.
he treated my daughter his grand daughter well.
as opposed to any other female i ever saw.
so I can say that about him.
he was respectful and made himself highly likeable to me and i do not think he was like that to other dudes at all.
so I always liked him to those types of men.
from that era that sadly i think only a few are left from that exact era.
who were real decorated from the streets to the block and were highly selective about who they even spoke to.
let alone ever would give an opportunity to socially be in their company.
they really don't have guys like that anymore tbh.
maybe Glenn JOHNSON the boxer.
would be that type of guy in nature if i had to think about it.
that last guy in tha bar, you better not ever say shyt to in life guy.
my daughter's grandfather was one of those types of black dudes frfr.
the type of dude you know off top, not to be playin with.
they do not make them like that no mo.
