Might want to re-consider. In response to the death of Michael Brown, Stein made the following comment: "The idea of calling this poor young man unarmed when he was 6'4", 300 pounds, full of muscles, apparently, according to what I read in The New York Times, on marijuana. To call him unarmed is like calling Sonny Liston unarmed or Cassius Clay unarmed. He wasn't unarmed. He was armed with his incredibly strong, scary self" That's just one of his many racist remarks. Oh, by the way he's a trump voter.

[@Boogiefizzie]

ethan briere They were a HUGE newly R&B boy band! 1999/2000-2004. Like the black version of N’Sync. J-Boog & Lil’ Fizz were my ultimate faves, hence my KZbin screename: Boogiefizzie.🤣 They were in a ton of magazines: Cosmopolitan, Tiger Beat, Vibe, Word Up, Right On, JET, etcetera... Now they’re on a “reunion” tour called Pandemonium, after being broken up since 2004... Shortly after the release of their smash hit movie You Got Served. Money & management issues & problems of molestation from manager (& uncle to Raz-B) Chris Stokes and other label mates (mainly Marques Houston, J-Boog’s first cousin) that Chris groomed was the cause of the disbandment. Very sad bc they had the potential to stay huge like Boys II Men or New Edition...😔 However, This episode IN ITSELF is Roy STILL being petty bc the timing with their current reunion tour is HILARIOUS!😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭☠️☠️☠️
