@larryriley22 Poverty stricken minds are easy to manipulate my Brotha. You saying that helps the ones that did that get away. Everything has a start, and not one black person made any drugs to put out to our community in any lab!

[@DC.OR.NOTHING]

DC and New York is nothing alike go somewhere else with that lol

[@davidwashington9928]

I understand NYC's egoistical position being the epicenter of fashion. However, with DC being (MBMC)...1957, AKA.. Chocolate City! We have our pride too. Being a Central Black Culture, Power and identity we remain a significant force. That's the underlying 'clash of the Titans. Also, plus them NEW BALANCE 👍

Yall bammas aint influence nothing in DC lol
