    Disappointed CL

    Mmhmm I sent in my graduation pics last year and CL never posted them :( I was so excited too because I used to see pics up every year and couldnt wait for it to be my turn…so just know that just because you send them pics doesn’t mean they’ll get posted. :( ((

    • Sorry your photo wasn’t posted. Can’t promise all photos will be posted. There are many factors – size of photo, no caption, sending the photo in late, etc. I try my best to incorporate all emails, but it is what it is.

    I can see very clearly that your affection is both misguided and deluded. Not only are these three young ladies black, but they are also pawns to the Illuminati. Notice the way their caps form the three pyramids of illumination: Sun, Moon, and Stars. The girl in the middle is the “leader”, or as they refer to these types in the secret circles of Qwaz0n, the “Magical Lioness”. The picture her cap points to is evidence of this fact. All three of these dem0ns submit to the power of “Moon & Feather.” This is the image that we see to the left of the magical lioness. We see black and yellow garments covering the left hand. This shows undying allegiance to the overlord of the Mushroom Clouds of Tirbeyathoronym. This is also the true subject of Wiz Khalifa’s (Sufi Shaikh’s) song. The fact that they have the garments covering the left hand is indicative of the role the female plays in Qwaz0n. All of them have their hair styled so as to cover the right eye…the all-seeing eye.
    As for the phrase, “Adjuvante Deo NonTimendum”, well, let’s just say, some things are better left unsaid.

      Lol & smh, damn negro you went to the point of copying my avatar? Thank you. I’ve seen people take my name, people reference me, people hope and pray for my commentary, but for someone to copy my name, avatar, and study me like that shows that I’m your god. Thanks, but no thanks.

      @The REAL Judah!! I was reading the first comment and I was like,”This ninja has been up for over 72 hours straight,because now he is straight buggin!”

      For someone to create a fake Judah account,,,all I have to say is, “crazy” is the LAST thing they should be calling you!

      @ INDIGO

      Yes, it always makes me laugh when one of these people put my name into their username or pose as me. It shows that I’ve not only gotten under their skin, but I’ve gotten into their bloodstream like a virus lmao….to the point where they think that they’re mocking me but in reality they’re worshiping me. Imitation is, BY FAR, the greatest form of flattery. “If I can’t beat him, I’ll be him.” lol. It reminds me of a movie that Matt Damon did years ago called “The Talented Mr. Ripley”. He was so jealous of a certain person in the film that he went to the lengths of killing that person so that he could assume their identity and live their life lol. Most of these people that call me all kinds of names and try to argue or debate with me are dealing with what the white man calls “psychological issues” but what the scriptures call demonic possession…..and furthermore I don’t use terms like “Illuminati” lmao.

      @INDIGO

      Exactly lol. If I was going to say something on a topic like this it would be something like, “I wonder if the people who submitted their photos to this website as ‘graduates’ 2 or 3 years ago have jobs yet? Or have they just done they’re part to add to America’s gross national debt?” lol. That is the point of getting an “education”, because these so-called “schools” are certainly not making anyone intelligent. You go to “school” to get paid. Black people “graduating” is a good thing as long as they keep things in context and understand what they’re learning and why they’re learning it. Unfortunately, most black people “graduate” and think that they’re “bigger and better people” than they were before they entered that “curriculum”. Those are the same idiots that come on to this website and don’t know the meaning of words, don’t know where to put a colon, semicolon, or comma….and can’t spell worth sh!t lol.

      I agree with you I am not trying to be negative lord knows I love when I see black people graduating from universities and these three ladies deserve praise butI have to question where are the people who graduated? and what are they doing as far as career opportunities. I have three degrees: a Masters Degree from an HBCU, a Bachelors from an HBCU and an Associates from an In State community college, I had to take up two jobs in order to make $38,000 a year… I have to pay loans. I know people who are struggling like myself with two jobs and I know people who have one degree who are making $50,000 I dont believe people who studied and spent money on these expensive degrees should struggle to find a job, we cannot find good jobs at all now, everyone is competing for jobs, and when we do find jobs, the jobs do not have benefits so I believe concreteloop need a before and after, I think the show college hill shouldve had a before and after… like what happened after college degrees were given did they immediately find a job, attend gradschool or started a family… like what happened?

    • I see I can’t please everyone. I started this feature as a motivational tool for those still in school. I will take into consideration a possible “after” feature though.
