Mar 2015

I AM a "POC". I have a color...it is generally tannish whitish reddish (English heritage).

I hate that acronym, which in my opinion turns a person into a thing, imo.

My gf is black. She lives here in NC also. We've both been following the case of the murdered Monroe young woman.

I'm going to cease my communication with you because you have obviously been looking for an argument.

My point only, as my gf was helpful enough to point out lol, is that times are changing. How sad that I was trying to say that the MSM IS beginning to report these things.

Nah, you had to attack me for that. No worries. You got your agenda. Been here long enough to recognize an agenda when I see one.

Hey, how bout this? I'll pm you every missing "POC" story I find, OK?

Done here.

Have a good night.
