Well he knows how to initiate having babies, making this Nation a more mixed race, before long our
Nation will be called the United States of America, (Non Racist Nation), because all males and females will be somewhat related. As we really are now in the eyes of our Lord and Savior.
This is really absurd. Why can’t somebody stand against what this black guys are doing?
Not a role model for the sanctity of marriage or a role model for his children about ‘family’ where the father is present daily and loyal to Momma. However beautiful these babies are who knows if they grow up screwed up., especially with some of those names he gave them.
What this black guys are doing is totally crazy.
They think that because they are celebrities they can do anything.
great if he can really be a good father to all of them … so many kids from so many women… hard to keep up i guess … and surely he adds up to the statistics we will be 10 billion in 2050 , with our consumption its going to be really hard to find quality food to eat .
its all kinda selfish – i want so i do it … but at least he spreads good looking humans ….
