    “..you know, you know…you know..” – i got mad respect for Uncle Ralph but what the fuck?

  • easy lp

    #raphistorymonth and the network should be called effyournetwork

  • Ali

    This dude Dallas Penn is on some other shit. Fuck you think African Americans derive from? Do you understand the plight of apartheid fighters in South Africa? Your comments on Africans reflect your childish reverse racism. Learn the history and be proud that Ethiopia was never colonized, fuckyberg.

    You a smart dude, get edumacated.

      Africans is who sold my ancestors to Europeans. This is indisputable FACT. The Blacks who made the 3 month boat trip to these shores are NOT the same people coming from Africa now. Africans have to deal with their own colonization issues but they ARE NOT my peoples.

      Ethiopia was never colonized because white people didn’t give a fux what Ethiopia had under their sand at that time. Ethiopia suffers from post-colonization control like the rest of Africa does where tribes kill each other to serve European interests.

      Who the fux cares?

  • Kweli

    Dallas, get your stuff right. It’s bad enough to talk about you don’t f— with Africans, but Africans don’t speak “dialects”, they speak their own “languages” just like all other peoples.

      Dialects or languages… Who the fux cares about Africans?

    you guys should get a y0utube live stream for your broadcasts like the Star & Bucwild show has.

  • Rob

    Ay yo Dallas I hope you were just doing radio because if not, you are one of the biggest, most ignorant pieces of human excrement walking the earth. On behalf of all Africans eat a fat one. If your ancestors were anything like you, well, you can see why they got sold into slavery.

    Bitch

  • HashaGoSard

    …yeah, Dallas and his African rants are gonna cost the show some followers. Last episode it was “eh, you know Dallas” then this episode he took it too far where niggas might not FUCKS with the show anymore if that’s our fate with DPs rants. I put mad heads on to your show and they appreciate it …now they not even sure they wanna continue with the bullshit DP be on. Combat, grab ya boy, pause.

  • Haloblack

    I am yet another African who listens to the show and even though I know DP was ranting in jest it made me a little sad because of my own experiences of being maligned by African-Americans when I first moved here. Adding that abuse to my culture shock made for very unpleasant times.

    Btw, for the network name, I was thinking “The Fully Loaded Network” or “Dope Internetz”

    Still a big fan and long time listener! I think I may have been one of your very first listeners and I’m glad you guys have made it this far!

  • Sam

    Yall take DP way too serious! If you’ve been listening to the Combat Jack Show for more than a couple episodes than you would know that ‘Double Penetration’ loves to fukk with peoples.

    OT: the only problem I had with this episode that it was way too short…I love to hear those stories from Uncle Ralph… Of how it all got started way back then..

    Network name suggestions: TMP Network: ‘The Melting Pot’ Network…you got: –

    First generation immigrant Haitian Combat Jack
    Plain old black ‘African hating’ Double Penetration
    Racist Italian Pete ‘No white privilege left’
    DJ BenHameen ‘Dirty South raised, Washington DC representing Out-of-Towner with a lot bass in his voice
    Matt Raz ‘on-this-show-I-just-read-the-news-but-actually-Im-the-new-Boston-Strangler-on-the-low’
    A-King ‘Lay-back sensitive hood cat’
    Just Blaze ‘International Cheat Code’

    Keep up the good work people!!!

      Dallas Penn is a hater but his heart is usually in the right place. For the record, I fux with Africans.

  • Coolism

    Where’s the Star episode? if you did the interview Wednesday why does it take two days to upload it?

    also im liking the new comment system

  • Coolism

    I feel like now Dallas is just saying and doing stupid shit just so he can say “If you want me to stop go to my website click on the link and donate”.

  • Matt Raz

    Hello, Africans: It’s your buddy Matt Raz. I wanted to let you know we gave Dallas some of your recent comments to respond to on the air. Here’s the audio: https://soundcloud.com/combatjack_and_friends/the-combat-jack-show-the-lost
