Dang it Al!!! PLEASE get your “house” in order before you go out making a spectacle of yourself!
What am I talking about? Today it’s been announced that the good Rev. Sharpton owes about $1.5 MILLION in taxes and now his organization is being investigated (National Action Network or NAN).
He is definitely in Wesley Snipes territory with this mess.

The last time I read something this disturbing was the Dunbar Village case. In 2003 a young college student was kidnapped off the busy streets of New York, raped repeatedly tortured and beaten to death. She was bright, smart, dependable, conservative, shy and a good student. When she went missing, her mother practically begged NYPD to search, call a press conference, investigate, and look for the daughter. Instead she got this response.

I read this piece on one of my favorite websites TheRoot.com, and it got me thinking “what does it mean to ‘transcend race’?” and who defines what it means to ‘transcend?”

We complain so much about kids ( and this one is a little smart mouthed little aleck) but she’s actually really great!
The Video explains it all
So it’s official. This little girl is a better Detroit community leader than mayor Kwame( his nasty texting self), the city council President and this Monica Conyers. They really need to let her ask Mayor Freaky text, KK some questions.

It’s been a day or two since I’ve posted any new news or opinion pieces. Partly because the cocoa colored news has been a little slow, but mainly because I’ve been a little down since the Sean Bell verdict. I’m not from New York; I don’t know Sean Bell, his Fiancée, Nicole Paultre-Bell or anyone associated with the case and I can’t say that I was truly shocked or surprised by the verdict. And yet it has burdened my spirit.

The three Cops have been AQUITTED in the Sean Bell Case!!!!
State Supreme Court Judge Arthur Cooperman said the charges could not be proved beyond a reasonable doubt.
“Questions of carelessness and incompetence must be left to other forums,” Copperman said.
WOW!!!
I know some folks have already written their thought under my Converstation Starter post. (either post you use is fine with me)
I just want to know who will police the police??
This was not a criminal, or an armed assailant. Just a man and his friends in a car.
If I shot at someone who was unarmed because I “thought” they may do something wrong I’d go to jail.
Contrary to what Mayor Bloomberg believes this is a case about race and class. The cops involved may have been black but that doesn’t mean that they don’t stereotype against their own culture. These Black cops saw, young black males and automatically assumed they were going to do a “drive by.” that assumption isn’t right even if the one doing the stereotyping is of the same ethnicity
I’m just in shock, and worried about safety the black men in my life. whose stereotypes might put them in danger??
He better get used to scenes like this one
Wesley Snipes is getting 3 years in Prison!!!! He’s been taken into to custody just a moment ago.
Dang I thought Judge Joe Brown would have helped.
on top of that he still has to pay $5 million dollars, and a year of probation!
Brotha this is Florida, we can’t vote but we sure know how to put folks in jail!
