I thought when he was VP a few years ago he sent John Kerry to handle that?
Oh right. That failed and helped Iran get closer to a bomb like everyone said it would.
I guess we can recycle old jokes now.

Aye, so, my "closet Trump supporting blacks posting about how the dems did all this shit for everyone except blacks his 1st 100 days" BINGO card is full, b.
You voted for Trump. We knew coming in what was going to go down but he needed to GTF up out of here. Don't get to come online with shit eating grins with "I told you so" shit when you were NEVER ACTUALLY "pro black" (plus homophobic, if you're ranting about "how come the gays got stuff but we didnt" mess) to begin with.
I'm tired of yall pick-me ass niggas. Them maga hats stashed in your glove box still, says it all.

RIP PAUL MOONEY
Paul Mooney was a little before my time but when I got old enough I would see him on different shows. I would think WOW this man
TELLS IT LIKE A T-I IS.
He do not sugar coat anything he said about white folks. The genius of it was Mr. Mooney not only made you laugh while he told the truth about white folks, he made them laugh at their own selves. And he pulled this off with a straight face. The OG of I said what I said!
Paul Gladney (August 4, 1941 – May 19, 2021), better known by the stage name Paul Mooney, was an American comedian writer, social critic, and actor, best known as a writer for comedian Richard Pryor and for his collaborations with Redd Foxx, Eddie Murphy, and Dave Chappelle.
Mooney is known for his acting role playing singer Sam Cooke in The Buddy Holly Story (1978), Junebug in Spike Lee's satirical film Bamboozled (2000) and as Negrodamus on Chappelle's Show. He is also known for his writing for Sanford and Son, In Living Color, and Chappelle's Show.
Mooney initially appeared in the sketches "Ask a Black Dude" and "Mooney at the Movies" on Comedy Central's Chappelle's Show. Mooney initially appeared in the sketches "Ask a Black Dude" Mooney ad-libbed the "answers to life's most unsolvable mysteries" such as "Why do white people love Wayne Brady?" (Answer: "Because Wayne Brady makes Bryant Gumbel look like Malcolm X.")
In 2006, Mooney hosted the BET tribute to Black History Month titled 25 Most @#%! Moments in Black History. In this show, he narrated some of the most shameful incidents involving African Americans since 1980.
