View Full Version : the drug king ping legacy?
Tafadhali 08-04-06, - 11:17 AM what made him so great...I dont understand it...why do we honour these people...maybe the essence is in the not know because I simply dont get it...he was evil he was dirty his work was dirty and he didnt care about the people who needed him most...his black people...why do we still honour him? why do we still fall for this game time and time again...
the other thread was erased when the site was hacked...and I never got to rebutt pharaoh's heralding of ping...
when are we going to tell the truth and shame the devil...he wasnt my black moses...

most good leaders are not remembered because they were moral, but because they were effective. period. and please remember, we remain the one stable country in the WORLD who moved from minority representation to majority representation without firing a single shot.

I am really proud of that, we are a peaceful people, peaceful country.
I am very thankful that we remain peaceful and stable.
I believe Pindling started off sincere but ended up crooked, his Pingdomship reminds me of Animal Farm.

That is why the US has only two terms MAXIMUM for its President's...and some other congressional and Gubanatorial seats as well.
