Angel Roberson of HipHopRepublican.com wrote a brief pro-GOP article called “Why Some Blacks Are Returning To Their GOP Roots”.

The developer’s home page was hosted on Geocities and the files were hosted on Winsite, both of which have shut down. Go to the “Download Library” tab above and [...]

Years ago I used to put quotes in signatures, over time I stopped doing that, but I’ll put some of those quotes in the “About” section and make them “official” for the page. Here they are BTW: “Truth is not determined by a majority vote” -Pope Benedict XVI “The current state of moral degeneration, social [...]

They say bitrates of MP3 shouldn’t matter after a certain point. And while I feel an unexplainable pain in my ears, I am past the age of hearing the so-called “mosquito ringtone”.
