This is what Group Economics looks like.
Mo’Nique was blackballed from Hollywood because she didn’t want to shuck and jive for them.
A fellow Black American, Katt Williams, chose to showcase her talent and was received with a STANDING ovation.

Roman Govan, a Black chef who threw legendary fish fries, created them.
These idiots would rather cling onto that Roots ass story.
