        "OH they trippin... The big joker doesn't need a paragraph to explain itself... Going around saying it's bona-fide or guaranteed with a Napoleon complex. It just knows." Signed Rhona Boston, President of the NAACJ (National Association for the Advancement of Colored Jokers)

        Everyone knows the joker with color is the Big Joker and like the dissent said: IT IS ACTUALLY BIGGER. Much like the U.S. Supreme Court, the Black Supreme Court has been corrupted by partisan hackery.
