Take a break from the chaos of the city and visit the Piedmont Social Club. This 32,000 sq. ft., two floor adult playground is far from your everyday bowling alley. Piedmont Social Club is packed with three bars, 12 bowling lanes, 43 TVs, four pool tables, and endless board games.

Do you have any FINE DINING…all of those places are GREASE SPOONS.
For the NON-SLAVE Blacks this is unacceptable food.
You are not black (not slave or not), so shut up and let these people eat where ever the hell they want because it’s their money. Google is accessible by everyone. This just a list of suggested places.
Please refrain from talking/commenting “directly” to me CITY APE.
Girl, bye.
OKAY DYCK LICKER…
You asked to be ETHERED/ROASTED…
The VERY NEXT TIME —
You decide to open that TOILET you call a mouth remember to FLUSH! Right now you got SHEITTY BREATHE and nobody can tell which is what…IS YOUR BOOTY YOUR MOUTH or is your mouth your BOOTY…both smell exactly the same…
THEN go get your homeless man out the Men’s Shelter for the NIGHT, because “Ain’t NOBODY CHECKIN’ for your BLACK NAPPY NAPPY. Unless you count your — VIDEO’S on GHETTO GAGGERS…
Now leave my name out your — FOUL MOUTH!
Girl, bye. This whole overarching and overemotional “statement” lets me know you’re a loser. Hopefully, you will just stop foulfing up this site with your racist presence and disappear completely.
Black DYCK LICKER…please keep it movin’ because that HOMELESS MAN you sleeping with is SICK and now you talking like you SICK TOO.
Just BECAUSE you are a SICK, DEVIANT, Black Dyck LICKER…don’t put me in your CATEGORY.
Again, I am not a GIRL but a Jew BLACK MAN…and NO I don’t want your BLACK NAPPY NAPPY…give it to that HOMELESS MAN.
GIRL, bye. lol! You are NOT black. You will NEVER be in my category or any REAL black man’s category for that matter! But you act like a petty azz girl, so GIRL, bye.
Dyck LICKER…open wide and SHOUT UP…all THROAT and no TEETH…just remember I want your MOUTH and not your PUZZZY.
Hehe…we know you a DARK BUTT Black WOMAN with a head full of weave and it’s STANK…
Now keep it moving — STRUMPET!!!!
Stop begging for oral sex on the internet (although I know it’s probably the only kind you get). Girl, it’s tacky! Have some damn dignity.
DYCK LICKER…shut up you are sounding DELUSIONAL and stupid.
Do you even know what “delusional” means? I doubt it. You can google it, you know. I’ll wait…
DYCK LICKER…can you understand how to USE YOUR MOUTH — Best?!
Mehh, again…work on your grammar and punctuation. This is NOT a cohesive sentence.
Well, if you would like, a cohesive sentence. I shall give you on. DYCK LICKER leave me alone!
Got it…
Nope.
YOU BLACK WOMEN — are jealous of this WHITE WOMEN!
Damn — AIN’T NOBODY Checkin’ for BLACK WOMEN/Thots in 2016!
Even WHITE TRASH WOMEN…getting TOP SHELF Black Men…
I’m not sure why you bring up white women to me? They are beneath me. “White trash women….getting top shelf black men”? Do you think that is an accomplishment or something to be proud of? That accomplished black men can only get leftover women that white men don’t want and NOT top shelf white women? That only that makes me fee it PITY for those black men NOT jealousy.
You say WHITE WOMEN are beneath you, but you are WEARING:
1. White women hair as WEAVE
2. Coloring your hair BLONDE, like white women
3. Getting Ice Blue EYES, like white women
4. Wearing CLOWN Eye lashes like WHITE WOMEN
5. Skin BLEACHING your Skin to be more white.
6. Begging for WHITE MEN, DNA — for babies
SO WHO is beneath who? Black women or White women…hehe!
Bwahaha! You’ve chosen the wrong argument as you yourself are guilty of loving physically-altered and gender-queer white women. I’ve already explained to you that I am one of a millions of natural-haired (chemical free) black women. NOTHING on me has been altered to replicate the genetically inferior. White women buy fake black features forms (tans, lips, azz and now even our hair) and appropriate our art forms (dance, music). to be worshipped for it. BLACK is indeed beautiful. The real black MEN and WOMEN (does not count fake azz, wannabe, culture vulturing fvks such as yourself).I mean, look at you…even you wish you were black. That’s why you troll these sites. You’re a damn genetically inferior joke! Who is beneath who, you ask. You and all of your genetically inferior kinfolk. That’s who.
Great…if you say so, but we KNOW Black WOMEN lie daily. You are one of them BLACK LIARS.
I can tell, just by your long reply, you lied.
Girl, bye. Short reply or long reply. Doesn’t change the TRUTH in what I said. You love GMO white women trying to look and be black. FACTS! THEY want to be US (yourself included). FACTS!
YOU WILL ALWAYS be inferior to WHITE and NON_BLACK WOMEN…you are just a BOTTOM OF THE BARREL woman…deal with it!
Black WOMEN are just not worth — GOOD BLACK MEN!
You’re not GOOD or a REAL BLACK man, so what do you even know about it? Huh? You’re a morbidly obese online white trash troll. Nothing more, nothing less.
You are a DYCK LICKER…and a BLACK WOMAN that is no good.
LEAVE ME ALONE!
Leave us REAL BLACKS alone. Leave this site!
You should never try engaging in convo with a person that likes their own comment. They teach that in trolling 101. lol
I am hoping to “troll” this racist pr!ck hard enough that he leaves this site. He’s been on other black sites before and left and now is trolling here.
YOU ARE a DINGALING
You HAVE NO dinaling.
Still at it…I SEE.
My BOOK is about 6 weeks from Release DATE…Spring 2016!
You still working at POPEYES — hehe…don’t hate…
Bwahahaha! Book? Girl, bye. Nobody gave you a book deal. But tell your parents (the only 2 people who will be buying it) to enjoy the crappy read, typos and repetitive nonsense, though.
Mind your BUSINESS..DYCK LICKER!
Mind my business? Girl, you’re the one who volunteered that LIE about your book. I never asked. You know I’m not supporting something I would sooner wipe my azz with.
I see you one of them…LAZY, BLACK HOOD DIVA’S!
DO YOU — DYCK CHASER!
..and you’re of them fat, lazy, unemployed white male trolls with black penis envy who claims to be a “writer”, wants to be a black man and actually likes white transsexuals who can only talk about penis licking.
YOU are a DUMB person, and GUEST…please just be a GUEST.
THANKS but no thanks!
Drops Mic…….
