		<description>OK Camp - lets keep a tight lid on my emotions. We want to be able to eat in Ward 8 without being shunned. Lets choose to rise above this tree and fly like eagles.  I know you meant well, but as Delonta&#039;s well meaning actions have done, this can open up a can of worms none of us want.</description>

		<description>Can&#039;t take it no mo from you women!!!!!  Here we go:

Ummm Channel knock-off-
 
 I personally know Ms. Donna and I know for a fact that Donna could call that addicted niggar, reconcile and have you dismissed immediately.  Not only that, she can have Marion fire that lame PR girl too and all yall rotted dried up branches taped to his limp tree.  Donna just has that power that should have been her personal asset (I don&#039;t see how she got it either, but if she put it in a bottle, that publicized judgement would be paid by now) not to be judged by any of you no lifers who don&#039;t know what the hell you are talking about.
But ummmmm do the following people:
 
- Look back on the tax court news scenes
- Note that Donna Karen pink suit - a little snug because of the many food outings  at restaurants with a couple more stars than Pole Dancing Players Lounge, Shoes St. Johns, Shirt St. Johns, Neiman Marcus clutch
- Not a track hair in sight (that day - sorry D)
- Note who arrived with the man and who left with the man
Now
- zoom in on Ms. Arm Penny Candy
I heard you wore some glitter disco pants tight from that greasy slop at that Players stop
- zoom in on that boy whose hand was forced in pink suits hand for the media because Arm Candy couldn&#039;t be in that spot, who is Arm Candy&#039;s son
 

Just cause one is temporarily broke doesn&#039;t mean they have to look or act like it, Diva handbook 101 reads &quot;Broke don&#039;t equal poor or lack of class&quot;.  And as a good friend and supporter of both Donna and Marion, I know for a fact she brought that niggar back from the dead and made Marion look and feel like a million bucks when he was her Arm steak.
Channel my dear, your claims and charges above were never an issue for Diva.  Donna is above you to respond and is focusing on something you&#039;ll never have - her house - so I felt the need to come down to your level.  Go finish changing your boos shitty Depends and keep cleaning his house.  When Donna&#039;s ready for him, she&#039;ll call him.  And guess what - no guess, your as smart as a 5th grader...correct, he&#039;ll be there.  Yall don&#039;t understand their relationship. Yall forget Donna was a mentee above all else and learned from the master nigga.  This mess needs to go on so she can get her battle badge and move on to the next level.  She has none of you cronies supporting her like you said you did when she was his item - Yall made me fly down here to let her know she has someone to at least listen until all this shit comes crystal. 
Best Believe, I and all her people probably feel as bad as you, but I ain&#039;t judging shit until I know all the facts- and since that weak Pr person read from that paper it will be a long time before we all know.

Back to that woman I always see walking a step behind Oh yea, Channell knock-off - You&#039;re not even in this vicious game of life - stay in your dustbuster, quietly await their peace treaty so you can go back to cleaning donna&#039;s shit left at his house too. Trust me - We who love Donna don&#039;t want to see that motherfucker near her ass and you needy fake friends probably feel the same. but we can&#039;t stop grown folks from making mistakes even if it kills them.  Only they know the truth and you so called branches should have allowed his roots slither on over to Donna to clear some shit instead of letting his crazy azz put yet another woman up and out there to dry.

Check Mate?  Or you want more?  Bring it! Show your love....
Because the more somebody hints they think they know them two on these shitty comment things, they are hurting Marion.</description>
