It’s about damn time they dropped the gas prices! I filled up my whip @ $2.85 per gallon today! Yayyy!!!!

Al Sharpton in jail??? What’s the judge really trying to prove? All of them were protesting for a damn good cause and are convicted of disorderly conduct? The judge should have focused on convicting the 3 cops that killed him.

WOW that is surprising about EMMETT TILL afetr all this time.
“Sacred as hell that my guy look like EMMETT TILL”
West

Gas prices here in Texas have been dropping already.

ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS THANK YA JESUS (GAS PRICES)…AND JUSTICE FOR ALL WHO DIED IN THE NAME A IGNORANCE AND RACISM SO THEY NEED TO REOPEN THE SEAN BELL CASE BECAUSE WE STILL FIGHTING FOR CIVIL RIGHTS!!!

Well at least Sharpton received “time served”!

Wow Emmett Till Crime Act, interesting 55yrs later investigating cold cases of hate crimes.

I CAN TOP THAT, WE HAVE GAS AS LOW AS $2.45 HERE IN OKLAHOMA!! IT FEELS GREAT TO BE IN A STATE WITH SUCH A LOW COST OF LIVING!! LOL

I thought they had leads in the Emmit Till case at one time and that it was narrowed down to the woman’s husband and relative or friend? most of the evidence relies on testimony from people who have died. Love Al! He has to be lead to do what he does. We need to honor him and other civil rights heroes that have paved a way for us in a bigger way than in the past. Like an all star ceremony with entertainment like the BET awards and have each speaker acting out the person or showcasing that civil rights hero and give awards to them or their families to show appreciation. Would be nice for Black History Month or MLK Day. It needs to be an annual all star event!!! Held in the hometown of the biggest honoree each year.

Justice will be served. Good looks on the Emmett Till Law, which will hopefully bring closure to a lot of families.

I’m happy about gas prices dropping, but I’m still praying it’ll drop again!

~~~@ # 6…Cost of living may be low..but you probably bored as hell!!! LMAO..Just ~~~kidding

~~~I have a girlfriend that’s in Lawton, OK and she says gas is around ~~~$2.40/gallon…I was just happy to get gas for $2.80/gallon in VA…

~~~YES WE CAN ‘OBAMA 08′!!!!

hope the gas keep going down the i saw some for 2.75!

Our lives mean nothing in this land called America as the Sean Bell case and other atrocities bear witness. Nothing has changed from the time our ancestors first stepped foot on these shores. Injustice, racism and hate crimes are still the order of the day. They can shoot us 50 times while being unarmed, kill us, and it`s deemed justifiable homicide. To them our lives have no value.

They arrest people protesting injustice and let murderers go free; go figure. Why???? It`s because our lives have no value. It just like what Malcolm X said in one of his quotes, “To show you the hypocrisy of the law, instead of arresting the discriminators the law arrests the demonstrators”, end quote. Injustice is still the order of the day.

The Emmett Till case is one of the most brutal crimes in this nation`s history. They say it`s unsolved yet they know who the murderers are. Afterall, they acquitted them. We, as a people, clearly see the injustices of this land yet we are deemed ungrateful, complaining and troublemakers when we point out their crimes. This is why men like Malcolm X died because he dared to call out the real criminals….

(waves hand in air) gas prices finally going down! gas is still just over 3 dollars here in Florida, as usual, but ill take w/e i can get!

I often think about who are going to take the place of Al, Jesse, Maxine Waters, all of them. We have big shoes to fill

* who’s

Gas always drops around election time, but I’m not complaining!

The Emmett Till law is monumental to U.S. History! Although the parties involved in this teen’s murder are possibly deceased by now, it just shows that those that commit crimes of hate and race, will get their just desserts.

I have no comment on Rev. Sharpton.

Gas prices should drop. It’s election time and we need a BREAK from these out of control inflated prices! It’s bad when you gotta decide on whether to eat for the day or put gas in your car! GTFOH!

Beauty Q.T. I got u bet $2.79 I am excited

Emmit Till I still remember watching the movie about him in 4th grade.

Is it just me, or is it Coincidental that Emmit Teal and other people like Congress and states are JUST NOW APOLOGIZING for SLAVERy and INJUSTICES DONE TO AFRICAN AMERICANS… COINCIDENTALLY we HAVE an AFRICAN AMERICAN RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT that HAS THE POTENTIAL TO WIN… HMMMM… LOL!! I am just saying…. I have been thinking this for quite some time now.

WTF. So lemme get this straight. Al has to spend 5 houurs in jail for protesting against an innocent guy’s killing, but the cops who shot Sean 50 times got off scott free?

SMFH injustice still lives on.

@18,thats what im saying….that case really pissed me off….Police officers already think they can get away with murder and this time they LITERALLY did…i hate cops,really really do

I thought they were close to finding who killed Emmett….its ashame how ignorant people were back then….killed for whistling at a white woman?smh

gas is still $3.01 here,im not complaining,better than the 3.80+ we were paying

im really happy about the Emmit Till Law. The time for justice is now(Great Debaters)

Our gas in OKC just changed today from $2.69 to $2.45

SOME Black men should remember Emmit Till before they break their own neck trying to holla at a white woman.

Hi DAME! Yep, you got me beat! I’m hoping that our gas prices drop even more!

A couple of weeks ago, an employee at a gas station nearby posted the gas price wrong-she posted it as $.35 per gallon instead of $3.50 per gallon. 18 gallons of gas for $6 dollars!!! Beat that! lol

….OK. gas is still over $3.00 here in NY, but I am still excited to fill up @ $3.18!!

@ Malcolm X

Excellent point.

I just wonder when the hate against blacks will end. Obviously not today.

@ 22

LOL!

U know, the show “Cold Case” on CBS came on last night and they were investigating a civil rights era case….

This bill should yield some interesting results

****** I wish the gas prices would dropped to $2.00.

***** Why does Al Sharpton have to spend five hours in jail? Thoes police officers that killed Sean need to be locked up for good.

@SEABREEZE (ENLIGHTEN ME-SERIOUSLY)

They don`t hear you!!! They somehow think that improves their status in society. They lose all their sanity when it comes to the prospect of having a white woman on their arms. Well this is one brotha who LUVS my beautiful black sistas. The only thing I want in vanilla is ice cream…

Would 1 bullet kill someone. why 55? I dnt get it. Stupid fuckers…some black person is going to kill their ass

Well Al, i guess if you’re going to be convicted of some crime, this would be the best crime to have been convicted of……no shame, keep ya head up fearless one.

Yay for the gas prices…if we can get it down to 1.99, i’ll be overjoyed!

Glad for Emmett Till law, get them hate mongers from long ago. They probably sitting up in the old folks home, thinking they got away with some shit….i’d love to see the law roll up on their old ass, slap off their oxygen mask, yank their ass up out the bed, and throw their ass in a nasty jail, where the inmates beat and flog them everyday and steal their bologna sandwich. And no one helping their decrepit ass to that nasty toilet bowl either, neither is no one wiping the piss off their evil ass when they have a accident. Evil bastards….

Iam happy about the Emmett Till law..his death was so tragic

One thing i hate about the gas prices…..they always give us temporary relief and in three weeks time, it will triple, so there’s no real savings….its like making it cheaper for a week or two, and then tripling it for 3 to 4 weeks; add it up folks, there’s no savings, and actually the gas company makes a killing.

Just saying…..cause i wish they stop playing with us with these gas prices…..they were stable years ago, and why can’t we get some actual stability with the gas?

Just asking…

GOOD GREAT NEWS–WELL EXCEPT SHARPTON–THAT SUXZZ!! DONT THEY HAVE ANY MORAL SYMPHAt/Y?/ ON THE CASE.

@ 27

I saw that episode too, and immediately thought of it when I read this post. I pray that it turns out results and justice is served

@ J.Dakar…

Let my comment rock, man…

I am so happy about the Emmitt Till Law, that case has always hit home for me. He died a horrible death, the killer was found and even confessed! This law, though way pass do, was needed!

Al shapton need to to in jail. how you going to block traffic during busy hours. He should have had his ass over at that strip club protesting so of that crime that going on over the. Last time CL lets get the story right. If something is wrong you dont need to put dirt on it to make it seem tragic. These two were not getting married they didnt take the time to fill out the right paperwork. So if could not have been his wedding night. That why New york she can t sue the city of New york because they were not even common law married. Lesson learn Drugs kill in all ways.

I saw some one gibe credit to Obama for the gas drop. That is so funny.

10 million dollars. Thats all good and well but who is going to pay for that. News flash they have been solving old civil right cases before this ten million. And thought I read that congress pass a bill just like this a few year back for another cold civil right case. Dont we already pay a whole FBI task force for this. Just a thought

$2.65 in O-H-I-O! It continues to drop every day.

Too bad Emmet’s mom, Mamie, isn’t here to witness this triumph.

I would just like to add to CL that, the Emmett Till muder is not unsolved!!! The men who committed the murder were prosecuted but never covicted by the all white jury.

@Jscene
They are real slick with that crap. Gas here got as high as 4.49 after Ike. Right before it was 3.49. Now its back to 3.49 and everybody is saying praise Jesus. I’m like wtf? Thats what is was before and we were crying. Now its praise Jesus? Mind games. Making us grateful for anything.

@JA

You are a disgrace!!!

Yeah Till!!!!!

Shout Out 2 Till!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah Emmett!!! Always remembered!

Jeeze!

our gas here in milwaukee is $2.73 -$2.99 never thought it would get this low again….

Wow; they are putting him in jail for having the right to protest? Damn, that’s kinda messed up altho it was his choice to go thru w/ it.

@dukesman2000

No I’m a realist. I believe in Right and Wrong. Some of us dont and that is whats wrong with the world. Everybody crying about taxes ad how much money they dont have but get cruck when congress passes out mney for something that we already pay for.

Second I see Sean Bell case, just like Garlow Wilson and The Jena Six. It’s always tragic when a young black man loses his life or ends up in jail, but it is even more tragic when we dont learn from the it. Why do we have to make up things. It took like three months for anyone to correctly report that Garlow Wilson rape a black girl and not a white girl. If you look at the fact if it were your daughter you would not have a problem with his sentence. If it were your son that Sean Bell jump on with the only reason being he didnt like what he said to him ( that little boy had nothing to do with the noose niether did Sean Bell)
Al Sharpton know to have a protest you have to have a permit. He chose not to do so. So there fore he chose to go to jail.
How about lets get the crime and the drug dealers out of our communities? Let s protest the degrading of our daughters and sons. I’ll wear a shirt for that. Hell I’ll march on something. But we wont do it. We will continue to turn our head for the drug dealer and and blame the police until we need them.

The torture and killing of a 14 year old BOY name Emmett Till is the story that gets to me the most. This law is long overdue, but thank God it was passed. The two white men that actually CONFESSED to the murder, yes they confessed to it in a magazine back in the 60’s, but because of the stupid double jeopardy law (can’t be tried for the same crime twice), justice was never served. The woman that Emmett whistled at is still alive living a nice comfortable life. God will take care of her and I’m sure those “men” are now burning in hell.

No Justice No Peace
Round of applause for the Emmett Till Civil Rights Act being passed.
His mother Mamie would’ve been happy to see the progess [..which is a SLOW process] they’ve made in his name over the past few years since her death. Yes, the case is 53 years old, but everybody and all the cases during that era deserve closure.

The killers of Emmett Till confessed to “Look” magazine for fee to talk about why and how they murdered him.

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/a...e/sf_look_confession.html

*for a fee, they got paid to tell their story.

THEY SAID THE DEMAND FOR GAS IS GOING DOWN? YEAH RIGHT!! YA’LL KNOW BUSH IS LEAVING OFFICE AND THAT’S WHY THE PRICE IS GOING DOWN. THE ONLY REASON THE PRICE WENT UP BECAUSE HE WAS IN OFFICE AND HE IS IN THE OIL BUSINESS. THIS GOVERMENT IS SO MESSED UP!!!!! I WOULDN’T BE SURPRISE IF THEY HAVE OSAMA ON ICE AND WHEN IT GETS CLOSER TO THE ELECTION, THEY ARE GOING TO ALL OF A SUDDEN FIND HIM AND ALL THE CONFUSED PEOPLE WILL VOTE FOR MCBUSH!!

Thanks J. Dakar, I am sure that you remember something that I told you a while ago about this young man. Thanks for keeping up up to speed on things.

Thanks Angel for one of the best sites there is!

Keep up the good work!

ooppss!! I meant to say Thanks for keeping us up to speed. Sorry!

OOppss! I meant to say Thanks for keeping us up to speed. SORRY!

if the men confess why they not put to justice and if the police know the cops kill sean why they didnt fire them and arrest them for life for killing an innoce bystander

Black people are being murdered, falsely imprisoned, having their property stolen, Katrina victims, and Jim Crow returning everywhere, and you people think prosecuting some DEAD CRIMINALS IS IMPORTANT!!!

Wake up!!! THERE WILL NEVER BE JUSTICE IN THE EMMET TILL CASE. NO ONE WILL BE CONVICTED. NO ONE WILL BE PUNISHED. YOU CAN’T PUNISH THE DEAD.

All that will happen is that somewhere on a piece of paper the names of the criminals will be recorded, and rascist will go right on celebrating their victories of the past and the PRESENT.

And all the while they’re recording that, thousands of black boys will be unjustly marching off to jail.

All this empty law does is send a msg to white rascist THAT YOU TOO CAN CONTINUE to take out these negroes while you’re living and NOTHING will be done until you’re safely in the ground.

Not only that, the millions being spent to investigate the so-called COLD CASE, will be given to the heirs of the criminals by creating jobs for them instead of giving REPARATIONS TO THE EMMETT TILL FAMILY.

If they truly wanted to give the family justice, they would give them the money. Isn’t that what they do in WRONGFUL DEATH cases for WHITE families everytime someone is killed???

OJ is going to jail right now because he got convicted for not turning over all his worldly possession in a supposed wrongful death, and he wasn’t even found guilty.

ANY BLACK PERSON WHO THINKS INVESTIGATING DEAD PEOPLE IS VICTORY NEEDS TO HAVE THEIR HEAD EXAMINED.

SO THEY’RE GOING TO SPEND $10 MILLION DOLLARS OVER A 10 YEAR PERIOD, FOR A TOTAL OF $100 MILION DOLLARS CREATING LAW ENFORCEMENT JOBS SO THAT WHITE POLICE INVESTIGATORS CAN GET RICH, AND ALL THE WHILE BLACK FOLKS LIVING WHO NEED THAT MONEY TO EAT WILL BE STARVING, AND YOU CALL THIS JUSTICE???
