I Don't Want A Piece of the Cake, I Want the Whole F-ing Recipe - Paul Mooney

About Me

If you dislike strong Black men you most certainly will not like me.It's sad, but I don't see myself prospering in Louisiana. I just can't follow the status quo of complacency amongst professional Blacks in this state. I know this behavior isn't specific to this state, but it seems especially bad here. Therefore, I've decided to take this show on the road. I'm moving to Texas probably either Austin or Dallas.I think that Don King is the baddest Black man in America. No other Black man controls an industry in this country besides him. Peep the man's story. He's more than made up words and outrageous hair.I love Black people, which is why I expect excellence from us.I'm a rather introspective person.I can be a very aggressive person.I love to be with family and friends. I told my podnuh that I wish I could bottle the feeling of solidarity I feel whenever I'm around real, down-to-earth people and just let some of the contents of the bottle out from time to time.I like to meet interesting people with interesting ideas.I absolutely love women. ALL WOMEN.I usually befriend "unorthodox" people.I have no desire to be a husband or a father unless I meet a woman with some principles that isn't trying to control and manipulate the relationship. In short, I want a woman that is in touch with her feminity and who doesn't feel like she is in competition with men.Miles Davis was that guy.

The Coons Have Struck Again
