Prime example of a black man not use to anything and can't spend his money wisely, I bet he don't have any money saved, The white man will be looking for him soon for tax evasion, He will be broke in a few years and irrelevant.If it was not for rapping and sports black men would not have jobs, BLACK PEOPLE MAKE NOTE TO SELF'S education and knowledge is the key to the long lasting success of the black race this is my message for black history month
K.D. is a level headed dude. Think for a sec........
Do you ever hear about him in any gossip???........no
This is the first news in a while you heard about him.
I don't like the color, but this is not "cooning out"
People get a clue, some guys like custom cars.
"cooning out is when you put fake gucci logos and wack leather interior on a car that is your daily driver and you could not afford the car in the first place.
@frenchilicious what is really coonery is your use of such a derogatory term that is actually a reflection of the connotation of your screen name. The (ra)coon being the origin of the word is black and white. Most "French" blacks are the product of whitefrench settlers living in Louisiana parish and mating with blacks. Truth be told if you weren't born in France you aint french.
Now the association of terminology is due to behavior of the coon used to identify human behaviors. Coons are know as thieves. The application having begun being associated with whites and their behavior was trickled down to other races most particurlarly blacks. Most of whom had to steal in order to survive post slavery and during the depression. You can read up on that history report in my previous lesson on blacks, welfare and the depression a few weeks ago. I digress. It is the same association as blacks being known to live in the ghetto. The etymology of the word ghetto was used to describe housing units/apartments that housed Jews. It was a restricted enclosure that they were forced to live in. The same as many AA are now
The term coon was also identified with WHIGS (you're a smart 1 but I'll go there) Here's an excerpt (piece) from wikipedia: he Whig Party was a political party of the United States during the era of Jacksonian democracy. Considered integral to the Second Party System and operating from the early 1830s to the mid-1850s[1], the party was formed in opposition to the policies of President Andrew Jackson and his Democratic Party. In particular, the Whigs supported the supremacy of Congress over the presidency and favored a program of modernization and economic protectionism. This name was chosen to echo the American Whigs of 1776, who fought for independence and because "Whig" was then a widely recognized label of choice for people who saw themselves as opposing tyranny.
From www.abletoknow.org Many slang terms use the term "coon" to mean raccoon. Their black eye-mask and nocturnal habits suggest anthropomorphic parallels, so we get the term "coon" meaning to steal or pilfer, for instance. The word also was used in the 1830s to mean a rustic, a country-bumpkin. In 1840, the coon was the figurehead of the Whig Party. (Where are the Whigs now when we need them?)
Unfortunately, many of those negative stereotypes were applied to black people, hence the derogatory term "coon," first used in the 1850s but more commonly heard after 1890. Some etymologists speculate that the term was used because of the raccoon's dark coloring rather than its real or imagined behavior. Whatever the case, the usage is highly offensive today - heck, it was highly offensive back then. For that reason, "in a coon's age" makes many people uncomfortable, notwithstanding its innocent origin. You might try "in a dog's age" or "in donkey's years" (British), which have the same meaning. Or "in a month of Sundays," which avoids animals altogether. Better yet, do us all a favor and come up with an original expression. We haven't had a novel way of saying "for a long time" in a coon's age.source URL: [link to external website removed]
I am not anti-white or any other race but I am anti-ignorance. All you post demonstrate you lack of knowledge which is why you continue to use words that have oppressed so many. One word describes you and your comments USELESS!
that car look like a dry tube of lipstick!! i can't believe he paid all that for that dull-looking paint job!he could've went to Maco and got that done,minus a clear coat for $400!! stupid people,spending bunches of money on retarded stuff just to not look rich!!that's about as dumb as those 10g "homless man" lookin pants!!
Nice..a car don't make a man! Having the brains to know how n where to invest ur money makes a Real Man! A real man knows the fastest thing to depreciate is a car..it loses value as soon as u pull it of the showroom floor! So instead of wasting it on a 100k car that he will not drive half the year he can take the rest of that 40k n invest it in stocks r some rental property..r even give it to charity n write it off on taxes end of year..he would still profit vs wasting it on an exotic over priced car..that will NEVER appreciate!
Yeah..I'll have to agree with the people saying he shouldn't have spent no more than 10 racks for rims & paint combined if he did he's stupid as hell....some people think just because it cost more its automatically better which is not always the case & why do all that to a cheap ass American car that depreciates faster than a opened bag of potato chips....
That's whuts up k.d.. Be different... Candy is wack and out of style. Black everyone else has it.. He tha first with tha flat red.. At least he know how to spend the cash right. Thirty thousand for the two ss which runs 42,000 and sum change. He saved 12,000. I know he got paint , system and rims and supercharge kit. That's why it's thirty n extras.
