Is That Jason Powell in Blackface?
Posted on October 1, 2009 at 11:31 amRep. Mary Pruitt’s Democratic challenger needs some cash:
UPDATE: SouthComm CEO Chris Ferrell comments on this post at Pith in the Wind:
Kleinheider messed up. His post was completely inappropriate as were his initial responses.
Most blog posts are not edited. We trust our writers to post content that is appropriate. Most of the time they do that, but in this case Kleinheider did not. If this had been a news story for the Post or the Citypaper or the Scene it would have been edited and that headline never would have been made public. When the Post editor, Geert De Lombaerde (to answer the question asked above), learned of the post and responses he instructed Kleinheider to stop pouring fuel on the fire with his responses. By that time many people had already responded appropriately to the post and the decision was made to let Kleinheider see how people responded to his offensive post. Much of the early discussion on Pith was actually an interesting discussion about racial attitudes. Maybe it was a mistake in judgment to leave the headline up, but we rarely change content once it is posted unless there is a factual mistake.
We asked Kleinheider to write a thoughtful apology rather than an off the cuff response. At some point Friday it will be posted on Post Politics. It was his post and I thought the response should come from him. However, in light of some of the comments here tonight I had to write my own response as well.
One of my first thoughts when I read some of these comments was that those without sin should cast the first stone.
Most of us have benefited from or participated in institutional racism in our lives. I mean really Henry, how diverse were your classes at Yale and Harvard in the 70’s? Did you really compete against the best and brightest African American students for your slot? And Matt, how many full time black journalists worked for you when you were managing editor of the Scene?
With the caveat that all of us white southerners have some degree of guilt for benefitting from structural discrimination, the notion that SouthComm is run by a bunch of racists is simply ludicrous. First of all, I have operating responsibility for the company. The investors are not involved in editorial decisions in any direct manner. So the charges leveled at them are just not related to the reality of how this organization functions.
I think the fact that Bruce called Kleinheider out on this blog is an example of our commitment to independent voices. We do give bloggers with very diverse opinions a platform to engage our readers. Sometimes our owners and managers agree with them, but much of the time we don’t. After all, since they don’t agree with each other how could they be speaking on behalf of the worldview of our shareholders or management?
If you want to call me a racist for allowing this headline to remain, then I would suggest that you are making a broad judgment based on a narrow slice of information. While much of this discussion was taking place here tonight I was at Pearl Cohn watching my son play football for his very integrated public middle school. I’m pretty comfortable that any complete look at my career on the council will reflect that among white council members, no one had a better record of advocating for programs to improve the lives of African American (and other minority) members of this community. Even my loss to Howard indicated that I wasn’t willing to use race to mobilize voters opposed to a black Vice Mayor in order to win a race. I think my public and private life demonstrates serious commitments to racial justice over a long time frame.
Maybe we should have changed the headline when it came to our attention. I didn’t actually see the post until it had been up for almost four hours. By that time, it seemed to me that the readers had pretty quickly corrected Kleinheider and that a serious discussion about race was beginning to happen. I think discussion is a good thing. Kleinheider went about creating it in an inappropriate way, but race is obviously still an important topic for us to discuss in this community. SouthComm will continue write about race in this city because it is too important an issue to be swept under the rug. I regret that this incident will likely bias how some of you view our future more serious reporting on the topic. I assure you that as we approach the subject in the future we will do it in a more respectful manner.
UPDATE II: An apologia

Dude…seriously? With the title?
Please kindly change the title of this blog posting. I find it inappropriate and disrespectful to the campaign I ran and the campaign Steven Turner is running.
Sincerely,
Jason Powell
Take this racist bullshit off the blog. This is so dis-respectful to a smart young man who is working hard to better his community, and you guys talk about black face?? How dare you. Another example of southern white Americans (not all) who just don’t have a F***ng clue.
Please kindly change the title of this blog posting. I find it inappropriate and disrespectful to the campaign I ran and the campaign Steven Turner is running.
Okay, hang on. I’ll get to you in a minute. Right now I’m busy going back and retroactively making all my post title’s “appropriate and respectful.”
Could take a while.
Good for you, Jason, I’m proud to see you speak to this right away.
Another example of southern white Americans (not all) who just don’t have a F***ng clue.
I actually have lived a bit shy of two-thirds of my life outside the South. I do love Nashville though.
Is Nashville even really “the South” anymore?
Maybe SouthComm needs to hire a black political commentator like Ta-Nehisi Coates to post alongside Klanheider.
Maybe Kleinheider needs to consult this chart the next time he tries to be clever.
http://www.ebogjonson.com/archives/specials/should_i_use_blackface.htm
We could make him up a special one called “Should I write something ‘clever’ about black people?” that ended in “no.” every time.
Maybe SouthComm needs to hire a black political commentator like Ta-Nehisi Coates to post alongside Klanheider.
I nominate Mark Mays.
Oh god, what has Mark Mays ever done to deserve that?
I think that title is uncalled for.
Kleinheider: you are truly an embarrassment to the concept of political commentary and to Nashville.
Your comments are as common as pig tracks, Kleinheider.
Just Damn.
Oh, look at Kleinheider … he’s one of those Mr. Smarty-pants conservatives. He looks so spiffy in his headshot that accompanies his columns.
Another attack on an up and coming African American leader.
The headline is pretty racist, no doubt. I mean, I guess Kleinheider isn’t aware of the history behind the word “blackface,” as it’s usually used to describe theatrical makeup worn by Southern whites to portray black stereotypes in the early 20th century.
Either he wasn’t aware of this, or he’s just trying to be cute. And boy, does he love to be cute.
If I had time I would do the obligatory AW HELL NAW post in reply.
and B before I say NO I always ask “how much” first
I guess Kleinheider isn’t aware of the history behind the word “blackface,”
Yeah, one thing I wouldn’t worry about is Kleinheider’s knowledge of the history of racial politics in this country.
Is that title supposed to be funny? Or insightful? If it is, I really don’t get it.
Seriously, do you not realize how inappropriate this title is? This is just completely and totally out of bounds.
I don’t really even know what angle to take in criticizing this, because honestly I am hopefully waiting for AC to provide an explanation for the title that amounts to more than “oh look, a black person”
I mean I know you want attention to your blog, but this is not the kind of attention you want. I would just change the title and continue on your merry day. But thats just me. Pick and choose your battles carefully.
C’mon guys, settle down. I think that the title is absolutely hysterical.
“Yeah, one thing I wouldn’t worry about is Kleinheider’s knowledge of the history of racial politics in this country.”
Of course, he knows the history of the term. I guess my sarcasm wasn’t clear.
Kleinheider - Man, I like reading your columns in the City Paper, seriously, always read it. But this is outrageous. I just did not see this coming out of you. I know Jason and Steve personally, both awesome guys.
I will just assume you weren’t trying tom be racist. Either way, terrible title…
I was truly tempted to not dignify this post with a response. I did not and do not want to assist in further popularizing this blog with unmerited, unjustified attention to it. Some things welt away for lack of attention. Which I wish would have occurred here. But silent disapproval is not enough here.
Please display your intelligence and reason by either apologizing to both Jason Powell and Steve Turner or changing the post title - or both. Be reasonable.
“I actually have lived a bit shy of two-thirds of my life outside the South.”
Then go back from whence you came.
“Is Nashville even really ‘the South’ anymore?”
Yes, it is.
Most of you overly politically correct rubes need to get a hobby and try spending more of your time away from a blog. Wern’t some of you heralding the richness of ACK’S prose a couple of weeks ago when he was espousing the Liberal Theology on the war in Iraq? Yes, I believe you were.
Whatever PERSONAL vendetta you have with Jason, is beyond ignorant and immature. It’s quite obvious you live for the attention that your getting…sounds like you have some kind of insecurity complex. Not to mention, you’re lacking material when you have to result to using “blackface” to get attention.
This post is incredibly inappropriate. Adam Kleinheider needs to remove this post and publicly apologize to Mr. Powell. Adam should then consider resigning his position with the Nashville Post.
I am an educated, conservative, republican, Caucasian female in Nashville. I do not know Jason Powell or Steven Turner, and I don’t need to know them to know that the title of your blog is completely inappropriate. I cannot believe that you are associated with the Nashville Post. Do you consider yourself a serious journalist? Do you seriously not know that Nashville is part of “the South”? Did you sleep through all of your American history and geography classes? Does the Civil War or the Battle of Nashville ring any bells for you? This is ridiculous. The Nashville Post should be fined for allowing this racist to post such a thing.
I am not familiar with Mr. Kleinheider, although his invocation of “black face” and reference to Mr. Powell appear rather ill-informed and oddly placed, especially given the history of the term and Mr. Powell’s record of fighting for social equality and progressive justice. I’ve worked with Jason on many campaigns and issues; and, therefore, am utterly confused by this association. Observing from Washington, DC, where we are intimately aware of the break down of civility in public discourse and racial politics, perhaps I should not be surprised by this distasteful and ignorant display. I speculate that a healthy dosage of education, humility and maturity may resolve any existing deficits regarding Mr. Kleinheider and his future postings. Until then, immediate corrective action would be to withdraw this inflammatory and ill-conceived blog post. I’ve visited Nashville with great pleasure and know it deserves better.
ACK,
We all love reading your blog. However, the same people who love reading your blog seem to be asking that you remove or change the title. I’m not sure what the purpose is for keeping it up. You’ve made your point about freedom of speech, so now is your opportunity to make a point about humility, common courtesy, and respect. Pretty please?
Thanks!
Looks like the pc police from dc have descended on us to explain how backward we are. If you change the title they will be back tomorrow to further influence the content of this blog. We know liberals don’t care for the 2nd amendment. Looks like they don’t care for the 1st either.
I can’t wait until the response Kleinheider’s post has received provides the impetus for his latest column in which he tries to deconstruct race in America, or some bullshit close to that.
I’ve read 37 comments (try not to write any comments on your way to the parking lot) and I STILL don’t get the joke.
I didn’t get it either. I had to ask someone and “Jason Powell” was the (white) person who ran against Mary Pruitt in ‘06. I think that’s the joke…this guy has about as much chance as Powell did.
I am responding to Keep the Title! as he misconstrues my effort. I have no problem with the 1st Amendment and Mr. Kleinheider’s right to demonstrate his inability to articulate reasoned titles and produce ill-informed work. Further, my geographic location (whether in DC or Buckhannon, WV, where I grew up) has no bearing as to the reasonable conclusion that this blog-post is ill-conceived and inflammatory, reflecting a lack of civil decorum traceable to current political discourse. But since I grew up in rural Appalachia, I would note that my simple suggestion for corrective action is hardly an observation of backwardness, as you put it, but rather of thoughtfulness. My grandmother advised me that honesty and decency are not mere concepts, but the hard currency one which society thrives. Thank you for your reflection on my earliest posting. I hope I have clarified my objective.
Hard to have something to write in the face of such absurdity… Rather than leaving my comment here, I’m going to email the owner of the POST and then some friends at the Tennessean.
Hopefully you’ll get the coverage you wanted, but I’m afraid you’ve miscalculated in thinking that all publicity is good publicity.
You’ll soon find out that in a big, small town like Nashville, bad publicity is just plain bad.
-A
Cheese and BEER? Count me in!
Pleased remove the title of this blog.
Who owns this blog? Not the company but the name of the individual who does the post.
Please remove the title of this blog.
I see a “beer summit” on the horizon!
It lloks like we have some more Democrats in need of a “teachable moment”.
Which Democrat would that be? Kleinheider isn’t a Ddemocrat, before he got into the business of aggregate blogging, his blog was “Hard Right”.
Hell, these days everyone is ‘hard right’ unless they a flaming liberal.
Look at ole liz up there telling us all how smart she is and how conservative she is. Then she tells us that Kleinheider should be fined for blogging something that offends her.
Last time I checked, conservatives were opposed to that sort of speech supression rubbish.
But then again, what do I know? I’m here for the cheese and beer.
Gotta Wonder,
Hey, you’re a dumbass. Kleinheider is a diehard Republican.
Diehard paleoconservative, more like.
I don’t think Kleinheider should be forced to remove the blog title. Although he’s making a racist statement, I think it’s more accurately classified as “offensive” speech instead of “hate” speech, it’s unlikely to incite any real harm to any individual, and it’s furthermore directed at a political candidate, and thus protected by the 1st Amendment. Is it a stupid thing to post? Of course. Could he have written a much better title if he’d been a little less lazy? Yep. Is Kleinheider an irresponsible hack who shouldn’t have the weight of a supposedly legitimate newspaper behind him? I think so. Should Kleinheider consider being more racially sensitive in the future? Naturally. Will he do it just because it’s the right thing? I seriously doubt it. If he had that level of professionalism and maturity he probably wouldn’t have posted this in the first place.
I don’t think it pays to be overly professional and mature in political blogging.
Serious question(s) for all those in the know about Nashville politics:
(1) I see Turner is black obviously and presume/know Powell to be white, so . . . do they look alike? You know, was this an attempt at a “Hey that guy looks like a black version of J.P. or that J.P. is white version of this guy!”
(2) Do they sound alike in actual voice or their message/request for support? - “Hey that S.T. and J.P. sounds like the same dude! And one is white and the other black.”
(3) Did J.P. have a video just like this?
I mean, I guess I don’t see what the underlying connection. I see that whatever the connection is, the rhetorical laziness of going from J.P (white dude) = [similar in someway] = S.T. (black dude) to “Hey, is that black dude really J.P. in blackface?” is just . . . leaving aside everything else . . . just intellectually and commically LAME.
I just am more confused at this point than offended because I just don’t get it.
Any help?
If only there were someone, say, an author of the post, that could perhaps clarify wtf he was thinking. If only.
Seems Kleinheider’s been down a similar road before…
http://politics.nashvillepost.com/2009/06/16/a-mans-got-to-have-a-code/
The title of this blog is absolutely ridiculous. This is not about freedom of speech but about rude, offense behavior directed at two individuals who don’t deserve it. When will people stop trying to mask their hatred for others under some veiled excuse that they’re utilizing freedom of speech? Come on, AK - we know what’s in your heart, but do you have to be openly racist as well?
Is that Bill Hobbs on ACK’s account?
I’m sure Kleinheider is composing some metaphorical comparison between this and the time McNulty wouldn’t say he was wrong for fabricating a serial killer during season 5. It will probably reference Ros Kurita and a crush on a lobbyist too.
I think Aunt B. and Bobo win this round with Amber Adams earning an honorable mention, although Serious Question will be a serious contender if he or she gets a serious answer.
The title is completely inappropriate and if I were Mr. Turner or Mr. Powell, I would not want “blackface” to come up in a google search now or in the future. It is apparent Kleinheider does not get this so the only way to register continued dissatisfcation is by not visiting this blog until he or his superiors come to their senses and change it. I encourage the other commenters and viewers offended by the title to do the same. Maybe when daily traffic goes down they will change their mind. Signing off until future notice…
This is abysmally inappropriate and racist. I’m not picking up another SouthComm paper until this situation is remedied in an appropriate manner (nor will anyone in my office I’ve spoken to about this topic). This isn’t a 1st amendment issue. He has the right to say whatever he wants - but since SouthComm is his platform and a commercial entity, we (the people) have the right to avoid these products and the products of its advertisers.
Has this accomplished what you wanted, ACK? My read is 98% of the respondents here have asked you to make amends for this. Too proud? Too Conservative?
Too White?
Do the right thing.
This is the equivalent of a guy who thinks its funny to make a joke about menopause.
Why would you go there if you don’t have to?
So what were you thinking here? “Let’s see Woods top THIS!”
In one sense, you’ve succeeded; hell, they’re talking about this at Pith.
OTOH, I might certainly have advised against this if I were you. But then, I live in a post-racial Memphis, not a post-racial Nashville.
No one that has read this blog for any length of time can accuse ACK of being racist, but the headline is inappropriate. Take it down and let’s all move on.
I don’t hear anybody calling Kleinheider a racist. We know he’s not.
But, that needs to come down.
Improper satire, 15 yard penalty. Only special people can use satire.
Leave Kleinheider alone!
ACK, things like this make it really difficult (read: fucking impossible) to defend your commentary as useful and necessary. I know you aren’t a freaking racist, but come on. Please don’t do this anymore.
To Gotta Wonder: I didn’t say I was “offended,” but I know that Mr. Powell was offended. I said it was inappropriate. Political satire is supposed to be humorous, which this clearly isn’t. I have a feeling it is Mr. Powell who will have the last laugh.
You know he’s not a racist? How do you know that? Lately it seems to me he’s not only racist, but sexist as well. At the very least, he’s a total jackass. Is he on crack? Drinking too much? Dropped on his head as a child? WHAT??
Let’s revisit the poor judgment of Kleinheider over the last few months: First he harasses a woman after voyeuristically invading her Facebook page. Then, he makes a very successful black business woman in this community look like an idiot and incurs her no end of racial harassment and worry for her family (which he claims is not his responsibility). Throughout this period, he routinely retweets racist comments via Twitter. And now he posts this b.s. W.T.F.??
OF course, he does all of this after preaching about having “a code” that doesn’t allow him to report on a serious breach of ethics and racial trouble in local government . . .a racist breach so offensive and so huge that diversity training was required for everyone. But “she was essentially just a secretary” so he didn’t report it. Again . . . sexist . . . and again . . . very poor judgment. (And duh . . .secretaries are THE most powerful people in most organizations!!)
Even without all this controversial crap, he’s a shitty political blogger to start with . . . even a sixth grader can retweet other people’s stuff . . . that’s not blogging. That’s just lazy.
Kleinheider isn’t at all up on gender, race and/or politics . . . he’s decades behind the state of the art, and it’s wearisome and tedious to even have to say it. He doesn’t write his own stuff - thank God =- but he isn’t even smart enough to repost and retweet anything that IS intelligent on these subjects. It’s an insult to the businesses who advertise with Nashville Post - and it’s long been a behind the scenes joke on Twitter. But it just isn’t funny anymore….
All this race-baiting trouble-making crap for the last few months . . .in this political climate . . . this is total idiocy. It’s clearly a transparent attempt to get everyone who has completely abandoned and ignored this ridiculous “blog” for months to read it. Well, yes, we have now . . . and it’s still (and even more) SERIOUSLY lame.
Kleinheider is an embarrassment to this publication and to this city. Ignorant and irresponsible . . . and lazy. Nashville deserves SOOOOO much better than this.
Kudos to Nashville Scene for not recognizing this as a political blog. Obviously they have far more sense than the Nashville Post (which used to be a smart, interesting site once upon a time).
I am dropping Nashville Post from my Twitter feed, and I will NEVER AGAIN advertise with or recommend this company, unless they fire Kleinheider and find someone who will not abuse and insult women and people of color. What used to be a joke is now seriously ugly.
C’mon Nashville POst . . .let’s get a real political blogger in here with some useful political insight that your readers and advertisers don’t have to cringe at and apologize for.
What a jackass.
Someone should absolutely be fired over this. Absolutely unacceptable. Uncalled for. Insensitive. I read the post every day. This is the last day I’ll ever have anything to do with this publication. The editorial board should resign. This is inexcusable.
@pomopsyche- Slow clap….
You and people like you think that because the US elected a Black President that you can rear your ugly heads without consquence? Anyone who subscribes to this hate is no better than the KKK that your hate was spawned from. SEIU, ACORN, Liberal Black southern political activists, you are all idiots and being used by rich white people that still run the show.
This is clearly a representation that you DO NOT have what it takes to be in the public eye. You are rude and unlettered and deserve to be tarred and feather, then burned. You are the scum under the poop after the rain. Martin Luther King did not die for racist black trach like you but for the hope of WHITE people and BLACK people that would stand against you RACIST PIG!
Hey, any of you folks ever been to the Belle Meade Country Club? How about the Swan Ball at Cheekwood?
Well, the people that own half of the news publications in this town - that would be the owners of Southcomm - spend a lot of time and money at such places. These are the kinds of places where all of the “help” is black and all of the paying members and guests are white. The black staff typically dress in crisp white uniforms, and everything is, well, not unlike it was in this state in the 1950s.
Get a clue Nashville. The newspapers that fought against “English Only” are gone. The newspapers that called out Bob Clement in 2007 are gone. The newspapers that championed the cause for black Nashville during school rezoning are gone.
Those papers were The City Paper and The Scene. Very different in approach and in their partisan politics, but at least they took stands and basically agreed on the things in this city that really mattered. Not everything, but on many things. There was also a healthy rivalry there for breaking the news.
That is gone. What you have left is this tripe. Kleinheider is a brilliant political blogger, but he has no filter and apparently no editor.
This blog post is your first look at SouthComm’s true colors. Those are the colors of Belle Meade Blvd. First the City Paper’s editorial page disappears - just after waging a war against English Only. Then the Scene becomes an “arts & entertainment” brand according to Southcomm architect Chris Ferrell after a period that included taking Gus Puryear apart at the joints among other things.
Face it folks: Belle Meade just bought your papers. Expect lots of society pics and more poor decisions like Kleinheider’s post. Where is the management at this new “unbundling” of the daily newspaper? Out for drinks at the turn on #9 at BMCC.
Good heavens…. People, get a grip.
I was thinking about this controversy while I was cooking dinner, in terms of editorial decisions. Blogging is so different from traditional news media that some elements of journalistic training simply do not, cannot, transfer. This particular blog, however, is tied to an online newspaper; so, some traditional concerns, e.g., marketing, business, and profit bottom lines, are parallel.
I’ve heard all is fair in love and satire. Satire always has a good chance of being protected speech, and many bloggers take care to note on their blogs the disclaiming “satirical environment” in which they operate. This blogger has certainly cultivated such an environment here. We know Adam is going to go for a joke and a pun if he can. That is his history. His sense of humor is easily, readily tripped. He has shocked or annoyed some or many, but if we’ve stuck around, we’re all pretty used to it at this point. As a smark aleck myself, I tend to cut other smart alecks a lot of slack (hello, Six Meat Buffet), but I’ve sliced ‘em up on occasion, too (hello, SMB).
When I saw the post that has spawned these comments, I wasn’t horrified or incensed, but I’m not black. The headline didn’t strike me as mean or vicious. But I’m not black. I’ve seen mean, vicious jokes and satire. This just didn’t strike me that way. I read the headline and thought, well, this is some comparison with, some reference to, a white candidate in some campaign I know nothing about.
This is just a tough call. We know if a black blogger had posted the headline, we probably would not be having this discussion/tirade. If I, an immigration restrictionist and critic of certain efforts by certain ethnic groups — http://lastcar.blogspot.com/2009/10/when-you-dont-elect-judges.html#links — had posted the headline on some blog of mine, we know I’d never hear the end of it from my immigration opponents.
The young do not have the history and the automatic, programmed editing of most of us older folks. That’s good to some degree. But that history remains, and I think we should take care not to hurt others if we can avoid it.
If I had to use an editor’s pen here, on a blog like this, I’m unsure what I’d do.
If only certain people can use a word, that word becomes a weapon.
I will post a twelve stepper if you need it. It’s not your fault, there is help out there.

“Darrell Freeman’s Pending Membership Application” is the funniest/saddest screen name used on this site in a loooooong time.
[...] “Darrell Freeman’s Pending Membership Application” is the… [...]
Nash,
You’ve hurt my feelings. How could you? It’s clear that you do not understand the oppression my people have endured for generations.
Can we sit down and have a beer to talk this over? If you buy, I’ll forgive you. I’ll bring the cheese.
I think everyone here has valid points. ACK, has promoted not only a rousing discussion, and in doing so, not sure if he realizes it, since some of you think him not too keen, he promoted a young candidate who needs to raise funds for his campaign. Out of curiosity can any of you remember the date, time and where abouts of the fund raising event? Did any of you, by chance, attend? Did any of you feel compelled to donate to this young candidates campaign? Pure curiosity.
After reading all responses, I recognize this is definitely a sensitive issue and respect everyone’s point of view. With that being said, Gotta Wonder, thank you for the full hearty laugh! When I got to your “Beer and cheese? I’m in!” comment my daughters could hear me laugh from the other side of the house.
Well, Kleinheider isn’t the first of us that said something he’d probably would like to have reworded.
But this really isn’t “racist” at all.
Then some idiot replies with:
“Another example of southern white Americans (not all) who just don’t have a F***ng clue.”
Sorry, that WAS a “racist” comment and the cheap disclaimer (”not all”) does nothing to smooth it out.
LOL… If Kleinheider had said “not all” it would have been intentional racism.
I don’t explode on everyone who says something bigoted about Christians or Southerners or Whites or what have you (which happens far more often by the way), but the hypocrisy I see here and elsewhere concerning racially sensitive speech is simply amazing.
Sure, those kind of references strike a nerve in some. But what Kleinheider was saying is even clear to me and I know none of these people.
Get a hide, people. This is the internet.
If you can’t take it go watch TV.
“I will post a twelve stepper if you need it.”
LOL!!!!
Wow.
Stay classy, Klienweenie. Its a good thing you’re so effete and high pockets, because if you ever uttered any language like that around me I’d turn your teeth into chicklets.
I suggest that your editors look for another blogger because it’s apparent that you couldn’t be trusted with fingernail clippings, much less writing an article.
Hey towerclimber eat a d i c k
