David is the type of person that will try to get attention any kind of way because he is so weak, insecure and extremely disatisfied with himself. He will never confront a black person face to face so this is his cowardly way of spouting off his racists views. David is laughable. I almost feel sorry for him.

people, STOP responding to David. He’s probably black!!! at any rate, ignore ignorance. Gertrude looks good for 114 years old… whoever said black dont crack was not lying!!!! WOW she looks wonderful!!! As for that little boy, all over the age of 18 in that house needs to be on trial. This baby had access to a gun!!! My God!!! That’s why #1… children should not watch TV until they are age 6. they do not understand the fake v.s. the real. #2… children do not need to play these violent video games. and #3 they need to be taken seriously. He said he was going to get a gun… right then he needed his lil butt whipped or at the least given a time out!!!! He obviously does not have concerned parents or that gun would have been OUT OF REACH!!!
