Hey white boy, so you got a 1230 on your SAT's that's not a big deal (they give 500 just for writing your name) 2400 is the highest so why didn't your get at least 2000) so you graduated from a private University with 3.8. Yep! I bet it was a private University because one not private probably wouldn't have you. SO BIG DEAL, do you really think your the only one (black or white or any other color) with that average? We knew you were white because we could all feel your hate, your animosity and what's that other word, oh yeah PREJUDICE. And we act like animals of course we do, you white apes, gorillas, chimpanzee's taught us how to act like that. Remember there are all kinds of animals just like there's all kinds of colors and no one color is better than the other. As for character, personality that's different that affects every human being. Of course that does not mean YOU because your not HUMAN. Your a white monkey. You have the nerve to mention Welfare/affirmative actions, Hey white monkey did you forget, welfare was made for white people not black. Do you really think they cared so much for us. Hey, your also a sick monkey if you believe that. As for affirmative don't you remember we help to build this country. As for Beyonce being a role model, she is a much better one than Brittany Spears, Paris Hilton of Amy Winehouse. Her wanting a soldier and not a prince means what? Your not a prince and more than likely you've never been a soldier or you would have never made that statement. As for her Husband being ugly there are plenty of ugly white men and women. Please don't bring in drugs, it's so much I could say about white people and drugs, both selling and taking them it makes me tired just to think of it. As for Kerry Washington I like her also, not because she married a white man, but because she is a human being, not like you, you white monkey. Aaliyah I like her also, to bad she didn't date the guy of your dreams are you a Fag?. Hey Greg, guess what I like you also because I like animals, although not more than humans...

GREG SISSYFIED WHITE MEN LIKE YOURSELF....HAVE ALWAYS WORN WIGS OR TOOPAI'S (WHATEVER THEY ARE CALLED....I AM SURE YOU ARE WEARING ONE NOW)
WHITE MEN HAVE ALWAYS HAD AND ALWAYS WILL HAVE RECEEDING HAIR LINES. WHITE MEN SUCH AS YOURSELF CANNOT WEAR THE STYLISH BALD HEAD LIKE OUR BLACK BROTHERS.
HEY GREG...SEE HOW FINE...AND I DO MEAN FINE....COMMON LOOKS WITH HIS BALD HEAD???
NO WONDER GREGG WAS ABOUT TO USE THE BATHROOM ON HIMSELF WHEN HE SAW HOW FINE...COMMON LOOKS WITH HIS BALD HEAD. GREG IS WEARING A WIG AND IT REALLY PISSES HIM OFF ABOUT IT.
SO HE DECIDES TO TAKE OUT HIS FRUSTRATION ON BEYONCE WHO IS NOT MENTIONED IN THIS ARTICLE.
GREGG IS PISTED OFF THAT BLACK MEN...CAN SHAVE THEIR HEADS AND LOOK SOOOOOOOO FINE.
NOW YOU WHITE MEN...WITH THE PINK PASTY WRINKLED HEADS THAT YOU HAVE....COULD NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS PULL OFF THAT STYLE.
INSTEAD YOU PEOPLE WALK AROUND WITH TWO OR THREE STRANDS OF WET LOOKING STRINGS HANGING FROM YOUR BALD HEADS OR YOU OPT FOR A WIG...LIKE GREG.
WHITE MEN HAVE WORN WIGS ALL OF THEIR LIVES...AND WHITE WOMAN ALSO.
THE WIG WAS NOT DESIGNED FOR BLACK PEOPLE...THE WIG WAS DESIGN FOR WHITE PEOPLE.
DOES ANYONE RECALL A PICTURE OF GEORGE WASHINGTON AND THE REST OF THOSE WIG WEARING WHITE MEN AND WOMAN?
