  2. ^^^^^^ that reminds me of a classic line from one of the best movie characters in the superlative franchise The Equalizer;

    “My only regret is that I only get to kill you once”

  3. I honestly don’t see how anything he did in his career was ‘legendary’, but through remarks he made his last 2 decades his racist hatred was epic.

  4. Yup, well, apart from all the other reasons I am sorry, not sorry, he is dearly departed, I have my own harrowing story.

    I am of eastern European Ashkenazi Jewish stock and have a somewhat less than perfect nose. I was teased endlessly in high school by kids singing the chorus to the Banana Boat song (“dayo”). By adding a vowel to my first name I was greeted every day with xxxx, xxxx, daylight come and she’s got a big nose.

  6. Shame he didn’t stick to singing.
    RIP.
    His devotion to communism, racism, and anti-Americanism indicates that he wasn’t very bright.

    May God have mercy on his soul.

  7. Gotta hand it to the racist dipshit, he took a brief moment of glory and parlayed it into a lifetime of Marxist resentment, espousing Lucifer till the end. Won’t he be disappointed about that contract when he finds out the Devil really is a white capitalist.
