GASP. HOW DEEP DOES THIS GO?

Gang signs aka anything black people do with their hands

I'm going full-Mellie as we speak.

Obama is the worst socialist ever. The Dow's at record highs, the upper crust is reaping all the financial rewards, no banksters went to jail.

Tea and shock blankets, thank you.

My uncle is homeless. He has mental health issues compounded by brain damage from massive drug use and a traumatic injury. He's been homeless off and on for about 30 years.
