NEWS ROUNDUP: MYCHAL BELL SHOOTS HIMSELF / TX DRAGGING DEATH INDICTMENT / LEVERT’S DEATH PROMPTS JAIL DRUG POLICY

Tuesday, December 30, 2008

Mychal Bell, one of six black teens in the Jena Six case, shot himself in the chest Monday night around 7:40 in Monroe, Louisiana, where he’s been staying with a foster family.

Police Sgt. Cassandra Wooten said Bell’s wound isn’t life-threatening and believes he was upset over media coverage of his arrest last week on a shoplifting charge.

Bell was arrested less than one month after he completed a sentence for his role in the beating of a fellow classmate, Justin Barker, at Jena High School in 2006. He was sentenced to 18 months for his part in the crime and also served a sentence for three previous unnamed crimes.

The Jena 6, which attracted sympathy and garnered petition signers and monetary donations, have endured a series of public embarrassments.

Earlier this year, Bryant Purvis was arrested following an altercation with a fellow student he believed had vandalized his car. In October, he and another Jena defendant, Carwin Jones, posed “like rap stars” at the BET Hip Hop Awards. Robert Bailey Jr. posted pictures of himself on MySpace with a wad of $100 bills stuffed in his mouth, igniting interest in the accounting of the donated legal funds.

TX DRAGGING DEATH INDICTMENT

Shannon Finley and Charles Crostley have been indicted by the grand jury in the racially charged hit-and-run death of 24-year-old Brandon McClelland, whose body was found Sept. 16 on a country road in east Texas.

Authorities say the two suspects purposely ran over and killed McClelland following an argument on the way home from a late-night beer run.

To some, the case stirs memories of the notorious dragging death of James Byrd by white supremacists 10 years ago in Jasper, Texas. However, in the latest case, the victim and suspects had been friends for years.

LEVERT’S DEATH PROMPTS JAIL DRUG POLICY

The death of Sean Levert earlier this year in a Cleveland jail has let to a new policy proposal that allows more flexibility in giving inmates their anti-anxiety medication. The jail administrator and a jail doctor proposed the change to allow inmates to get their prescribed medication as soon as their prescriptions are verified.

Levert died March 30 after becoming ill, and his widow, Angela Lowe, filed a wrongful death lawsuit in June accusing jail officials of neglecting his medical needs. The lawsuit says the singer wasn’t given his prescription Xanax when he started serving a sentence for failure to pay child support.

SMH Now if that doesn’t beat all.

I posted a Youtube video about the Jena 6, where I basically called people to action. The case itself was disturbing.

But sometime shortly after, I felt the need to retract almost everything that I said because it seems that these boys are stuck on stupid. They refuse to ‘clean themselves up’ and not make their supporters look like fools! I am disgusted by some of the actions that they’ve displayed over the last couple of months and really think that they need to get it together. People rallied behind them in droves just to make a point and prove that injustice will not be tolerated, yet they continue to show their colors and make their supporters look like FOOLS!

Mychal Bell appears to be a very troubled young man. God bless him.

There’s something about Texas and these dragging deaths. Now in this case did they just run over him or did they run over him AND drag his body? Not in any way to give these two wackos the benefit of the doubt but I was just wondering. These are the kinds of things that happen when you have no knowledge and your way of living is by the shotgun. Two young idiots who’s lives are down the tubes.

I feel so sorry for Eddie Levert and his wife. To lose one child is bad enough.

And to think of all that support by the community towards them. Ungrateful and ignorant SMH. The appearance on the BET Awards by two of the Jena 6 was arkward, posing like rappers. I wasn’t aware that a couple of them committed crimes. I still think that initial charge of attempted murder of that white kid was racist, but for them to somehow perpetuate the image that they’re out looking for trouble vindicates the judges’ view on them. Just shameful.

These is really starting to look so bad for the jena kids. It’s like “hey we got money for all this, now lets flaunt it” and then they see why black ppl don’t like helping other black ppl. It just seemed liked all that protesting that ppl did was in vein. I mean they worked they asses off to get them boys out of jail. But for what? I remember seeing those boys on the BET Awards dressed like rappers like that is ridiculous. But they didn’ t care. Just a bunch of NIGGERS yes i said it and i’m black. A but of NIGGERS acting a damn fool. And then ppl wonder why white folks don’t like to help us or take us as a people seriously. Look at the things we do. Step your game up black people,we have a black president. We have got to do better.

I totally agree. Sometimes we give other races reasons to talk about us in such shameful ways. You throw your support behind a person and for what….to get smacked in the face.

With their continued criminal behavior makes me think they never really appreciated the support they received.

The principals behind the charges of the Jena 6 were wrong, but this is what happens when we blindly blame “The Man” and look the other way at the issues we can control. The bad behaviors of some of the students involved in the Jena incident were talked about publicly, but everyone was so busy crying foul and marching that they chose to ignore the truth about these kids.

The Texas case looks like more “blame The Man” stuff. The guy was hanging with his friends and they got into it and the friends chose to kill him. If the victim were white and the suspects were black, this would be a non-issue.

I hope the portrayal of the Jena 6 will not halt us from helping the next person who needs help, this of course leaves a bad taste in your mouth and will make you think twice before helping the next. The myspace statement is very disturbing. If these guys continue to get in trouble, they will have no one in their corner.

@ JIA>> I completely agree with you. In the beginning I was disheartened to hear about the Jena 6 and thought to myself “wow is this really happening again?” Now with the recent events with some of the boys getting in trouble makes me wonder if we should have even supported them? or Did they do something to provoke the incident in Jena? Just thoughts to think about. Seriously though Individuals must take responsibility for their actions good or bad. When given a second chance at life DONT BLOW IT!!! HOW STUPID ARE YOU TO SHOOT YOUR SELF IN THE CHEST!! Come on. As for the dragging well Thats stupid too!! another case of racism looks like. Hopefully the get punished for their crime.

As a teacher, I try to explain to my black students that I support them, but I cannot support them in foolishness. Black students are targeted in these so called integrated schools. When you hear about policies such as Zero Tolerance they are meant to target black students. We as parents must teach our children, that yes, we will have a black president, but that does not mean that you will be exempt from racism. Racism is not over, and it never will be. Certain ideas will die, but racism, that takes the work of a God to stop that. In order to start defeating racism, we need to teach our black children to carry themselves with class. Stop sagging, stop being loud in the hallways, stop thinking that misbehavior is the way to be cool. We need to preach a narrative of success. I am very sad over this news, but it is only symbolic of the sorts of discussions that must happen with our children.

These boys are in desperate need of direction and guidance. Women choose your men right and get out of the single woman/superwoman mind frame… Please!!!
ANYHOW… The courts and authorities were DEAD WRONG for charging these boys with attempted murder for getting into a fight. Most of us on here had to fight at some point in our lives, so did that make us bad kids? Then, we effed up some more after that a numererous amount of times. Does that make us bad people or people trying to find our way? Anyhow, what they are doing is distasteful, and it doesn’t look good on there track record. However, I believe that these actions they take should be judged separately from Jena 6. ALSO, self councious souls should stop worrying about what WHITE people think, and, hope that these boys get some guidance.

I think we are forgetting one important note with this Jena 6 case, despite the fact that this young boy (Bell) seems to be troubled there was a terrible injustice done that is bigger than him.

This case was the Jena 6, not the Jena 1. The media loves this type of coverage, as a if to say “see what we told you about them niggers”, but don’t forget the issue at hand.

At the end of the day all it takes for us as a people to lose focus is a detraction. That’s what is really sad.

I along with most of black America was behind the Jena Six boys. My heart went out to them and I made sure my younger relatives were made aware of what was going on with that case. Soon after that mess I felt really foolish for jumping on that bandwagon because those boys acted like asses and basically spit in the face of all the poeple who took time off their jobs and drove across the country to march in Jena Louisana….Damn they need to the GET IT TOGETHER!!!!

The rest of the post is a mess as well. Its hard knowing that we are almost in 2009 and people are still stuck on racist stupidity!

I find it funny that some of you are backtracking your support for the Jena 6.

The point of protesting against the Jena 6 was predominantly against the sentence. I repeat: The sentence and not for the boys.

But since everyone made this issue personal, I truly find some of your comments ironic. If this issue was personal, I do believe that you should all support them regardless of their mistakes. We are the ones who elevated them and made them martyrs. To backtrack now is completely irresponsible.

This is why some black men are not going anywhere. When things go right, we are right behind them but when things go wrong, we throw them stones. We are suppose to accept them as a whole: with the good and the bad.

These boys were thugs before this “Jena 6″ none sense started…but all of you preferred to look at how bad things went in the hands of the white men! If you are going to support someone, you support them for their qualities and their fault.

Some of you should be ashamed for pointing at their faults from your “self-righteous” pedestal!

ThinkAboutIt

Tuesday, December 30, 2008 /

The issues with Jena 6 were the right issues to oppose and fight for. The penalties that they imposed were inconsistent with the crimes and offense committed. It was never about these young men being “innocent” - they did commit a crime, but the penalty for the crime they committed was unfair - that’s what the protest was about.

It seems that they are all - [and probably their parents] - very misguided. And I think the national attention made the situation worst. Something more is at hand here because this young man had both his parents when going through the trials, and his father esp. was very vocal - so why was he now in foster care?

Whatever the case, there is never a reason to assume suicide is a solution.

The whole situation is a not a good look - but separate the individuals from the purpose of the protest.

CiCi messed up big time. The fact that she is making mixtapes to everyone else’s songs INSTEAD of promoting or even working on her trash is just comical. She is not helping herself with this one, she’s actually helping to promote Beyonce. Whatever, her cd will flop like hot cakes regardless of her pathetic efforts. Oh I get it, because Go Girl flopped she decides to hop on a Beyonce song. Not a good Look CiCi. Not a good look at all.

I will never agree that teenage boys should be prosecuted and sent to jail over a school yard fight where no real injuries occured i.e broken bones or permanent damage, however being that these boys had so much support behind them and they still act like hooligans is a slap in the face to their supporters. They’ve learned nothing and if they keep on will end up in prison for real with no type of recourse.

@Urbanchick….

I hear your frustration and I understand your pessimism. I, on the other hand, look at it from a different standpoint. No child is born a racist. I believe that every child is born with a “clean slate” and as that child develops, through teachings, influences and life experiences his/her course is written. Stay with me here. You said that “racism will never go away.” I am more hopeful because I see a way how it can go away. If we understand what racism really is, we can get to the root cause and right the problem. Racism, prejudice, is the quintessence of ignorance and produces the most potentially violent and dangerous visions of deception: other’ people are different from us’ people. The word “racism” doesn’t get its ugly sound from its spelling and that belief doesn’t get into someone’s mind through a process of logic or reasoning, it has to be put there. Hence, racism is a learnt behavior and if you can learn how to do a thing, it stands to reason you can also learn how to stop.

So it is with this logic that I find some solace and hope that someday this mess will all be corrected. I may not live to see it, but I believe one day people will be color blind. However, until then, and by all means, if racism is brought to you, you have a God given right to stop it. Do not be a lamb to be slaughtered like Brandon McClelland. Racism is a language of hate and the only way to communicate with those that speak this language is to learn it.

Posts like these are the reason why I laugh when people actually take the black woman seriously as an entity regarding race relations. Not all the sisters, just about 85%. Many of them are as mentally and emotionally unstable and contradictory as you can get. Issues like “racism” (which is just self-preservation of one’s seed and way of life) cannot be resolved through emotionalism and idealism, and those are two aspects of the woman in general. What happened to the BS all-black outfits, the holding hands, and the “march through Jena”, lol? Now if Mychal Bell recovers, joins the NBA, makes 10 million dollars a year , and marries a white woman, some of these black women that rant about “blaming the MAN”, and how he should’ve been left in jail or shot himself will lose their minds even further. “After we marched for this nigga, he married a WHITE WOMAN!!!!”, lol. That march was just another plea for a hug from the white man and for some attention. That’s why most of those rallies are led by women and hom*sexual black men i.e. Sharpton. Mychal Bell, as well as about 90% of the black males in America, do not know up from down, have never been taught anything beneficial to them, and this is the result of that. If it was a suicide attempt on his part, he obviously needs help. I guess since he’s not Britney Spears, he’s not deserving of at the very least, assistance, or (gasp) redemption. All that “blaming the MAN” nonsense from the sisters is about the FACT that many black women think that they’ve been cut in on the deal as far as America is concerned and they don’t want to bite the hand that feeds them (that being the MAN, lol).

It’s obvious that those two caucasians were emulating the James Byrd incident but when certain members of our race are DESPERATE to make “Dr. King’s dream” (New World Order bullsh*t) into something possible when it isn’t even plausible, they will justify any action in what they believe are their minds. I already know that some damn coon will say, “But dey was friends. How you gon tell me dat wuz racist?!! U RACIST!!!”, lol. I guess it was just happenstance that they decided to hitch a negro to the back of their pickup truck. Either it was in emulation, or it’s a state pastime to drag negroes behind pickups in Texas. A man gets dragged to death behind a damn pickup truck and there are negroes trying to defend the damn white man? Well what can I expect? Some of these sisters have as many young black male bodies on them as these Klansmen in the form of abortions. I wonder what certain women would say if a black woman was dragged to death by two white men. Oprah would probably have a 10 part special on it, lol. Certain people say, “If two black men did this, it would not be an issue.”, smh. Well what about the black men that have never done anything and are still locked up for life? I know that the vast majority of black women think that they are 1)Superior to a black man 2)That a black man’s life is insignificant. 3)The white man knows best., but damn, try to have a little consideration for a man that was dragged to death. This is why the Lord has, and will have, many of your black sons die grievous deaths.

Judah,

I’ve asked you in a previous post but either you did not see it or do not want to answer my question, so I will ask it again. Name one Black person (foreign or domestic) who you admire or have some level or respect for. You’ve expressed your disdain for Al Sharpton, I have read your diatribes towards The Right Honorable Minister Malcolm X and you have demonized Martin Luther King every chance you’ve been given. Now, I can understand why you would get at Rev Al, since he is perceived as a media whore. I can also understand why many knowledgeable Blacks would lose respect for Martin Luther King Jr. One being the fact that he allowed President Kennedy buy him out and put his cohorts in charge of the March on Washington, which ultimately changed the direction and the purpose of the march. Black people were not there to sing “we shall overcome” and listen to “I have a dream” speeches. They were there to set fire to every and any government building in Washington. But like anything else, once you get white people involved in anything pertaining to Black movement, white people will devise a way to change course. I get that….

However, I am curious to know who is worthy of your respect…lol.

@BOOOOO

If he was cleaning his pistol, which wouldn’t surprise me because of where he shot himself, then it is what it is. The unfortunate thing about people like Mychael Bell, and many young black males in general, is that they are on an unalterable course for incarceration or an early death because a total lack of a feeling of self-worth. That’s not even going into the spiritual curses that the Most High has put on our people for disobeying him.

@Lady Architect

I read these posts to get a good laugh sometimes sis. The strong black male mentality is so rare now, this is why it gets attacked by the black woman and the effeminate (so-called enlightened) black “male”. This is what happens when black people are taught how to think by their enemies, and at the same time have no knowledge of their history whasoever. Their mindset is keyed on the preservation of their enemy, because they look to the enemy for succour. The black woman wants a “husband” and a “strong black man” (allegedly), but also doesn’t want to threaten the white man’s power. This is where all that “forgiveness for racism” comes in. The caucasian Jewish people don’t forgive or forget anything and they are the most powerful people in the world. Why, because they have a ruling class mentality and put their people first. Like I’ve said, in many a black woman’s opinion, the white man has freed her. She can dress and speak how she wants. This is why I say that their opinion is not to be taken seriously. These sisters cannot stand to be criticized but will constantly try to act as if they have the mental or spiritual acuity to discern what this society is about. All the sisters are not like that, just the vast majority and it comes from the belief in the black woman’s subconscious that the black man is expendable because, again, the white man is her top “pimp” (proverbially speaking). I’ve seen reports where black women’s sons were gunned down by the police in cold blood and they still looked to make excuses for the white man. This is where people like Mychael Bell come from, an environment of simplicity and ignorance where there is no value placed on the life of a black male.

@MellyMel

Sis; if you, nor any of your cohorts prescribe to the conduct that I cited, why take offense? There’s an old saying that when you throw a rock into a pack of dogs, the only dog that barks is the one that got hit. You can’t say that I’ve casted aspersions on an entire group of black women because I used the terms most and many, with gainsayers like you in mind. I mean damn, I even gave you a percentage, lol. I guess 15% of sisters being sensible wasn’t high enough for you. Sorry, but that’s an extremely high estimation on my part, giving you the benfit of the doubt. It’s probably more like 2-3% and the black man isn’t much better. He’s just more likely to be receptive to realism because of how men are wired and also because they face the brunt of the affliction.

In regards to your comment about abortions and child support, that actually makes my point for me. The majority of these black women between the ages of 17-35 have AT LEAST one body on them. Talk to them. I do. You think I just make this stuff up, lol? You know I don’t, because if I did, my comments wouldn’t draw the ire and wrath of so many people like yourself. A murder is a murder, whether you’re stabbed, shot, or pulled out of a vaginal canal. If there was a “third world African country” that was pulling 2 million babies out of the fetuses of women and beating the baby in the head with rocks as a ritual, the white man would demonize that race and that culture. Furthermore, he would use it as a pretext to invade that country and kill the adults. On top of that, many dumbass blacks would join his army to help him do it. Lastly he would take all that country’s natural resources when no one was looking.

@judah sharpton is homosexual now? lmao it seems that you LOVE to blame black women for every problem in the world and since Sharpton is doing the things that you attribute to black women, he MUST be a homosexual. you sound like white people who believe that it is in black people’s nature to commit crimes but when a white person does it, they say “oh he/she was a troubled individual. he/she was a bad seed”. you have no basis for most of the comments that you make. no data, no facts, just opinion. guess what. everyone is hypocritical to some degree. that’s part of being human- it’s not some unique trait that black women possess. but to continue, i’d like to know how you concluded that most of the marchers were women. i’ll admit that i don’t know much about the marches and where they were held because i didn’t pay much attention to the jena six case. but from what i did see on the television and in newspapers, many men were involved. and your statement that the march was “another plea for a hug from the white man” is offensive considering that throughout history, many great men such as martin luther king jr. and ghandi marched for a cause. you’re belittling their efforts. yes, they do want attention. isn’t that the point of having hundreds of people walk through the streets? and yes, the boy does need help. i don’t think anyone on here puts britney above him so i’m not sure why you mentioned her.
about the second case, i do disagree that if the victim was white, it wouldn’t be an issue (another commentator said this) but let’s be real, we wouldn’t automatically call it a race crime. from what i’ve read, he was under the truck so from my understanding, they purposefully hit him and continued to drive, therefore he was dragged under the truck. there are tons of sick people in this world. clearly these men are sick but we don’t know if they are racist. if you want to believe that i am defending the white man, as you put it, then go ahead. i just have enough common sense to know that (1) racist people are sick but not all sick people are racist and (2) just because the victims and perpetrators are not of the same race, doesn’t automatically mean that the crime was a hate crime

phew…now that i got that out the way…..i think it is sad that these jena kids have embarrassed those who stood up for them time and again….it’s a shame because they act the way they do because they don’t know any better,,,however, i also think they need to take responsibility for the things they do. the way they have conducted themselves show a lack of respect for the millions who donated and marched for them

i never got on the jena 6 bandwagon (i never take part in these random ceremonial causes black people devote their time to there are more pressing issues) partly because i never thought they were completely free of blame…their punishment was harsh, but they still did things that were not okay

i really hope their parents step up to the plate and help their kids through their issues

ps: he shot himself because of media coverage??….didn’t he think that would get even more media coverage???!?…seriously, i didn’t hear about the shoplifting incident till i heard about him shooting himself?? lol oh well..

@judah your last post is probably the most truth you’ve written in since you’ve been on cl lol BUT you are implying that the white man would invade the country for the natural resources but use the country’s practices as the reason right?just making sure b/c i do agree with that. but i have to add that not everyone sees abortion as murder. it depends on whether or not you believe the fetus is human.

What a freakin’ idiot. I wasn’t the least bit surprised today when I heard about this fool.
I remember watching so many people rallying around these guys, protesting “injustice”.
From jump, I was a bit reserved. Frankly, they seemed like a bunch of thugs who happened to be discriminated against, which made for a great news story.
Fast forward to the BET awards when they all showed up looking like a ghetto embarrassment. That BET appearance solidified my views about them.
This won’t be the last time one of them have a run-in with the law.

First I wana say, nothing any black person does, represents me as a person, and black people as a whole have been unfairly judged for years, and it will continue to happen, mainly because of stereotypes, and ignorance at it’s best!!

These boy’s don’t have a real father figure in their lives (No excuse) sounds like they need to get out of the south, and move far away, seek counseling, we all know the newer generation shits on every hard working Civil rights movement (Ignorance) they’re not educated on it, not really being taught in school, parents are not parents anymore, just don’t care, man black kids nowadays have it so good, that they don’t even reall give a fuck about the struggle others had to go threw, they just think entitlement for no reason at all, it’s really sad to see where we have come as a people

We definitely take our hit’s a whole, but at the same time there is balance in some sectors, Barack has shut down so many stereotypes that he actually changed the balance of black power in the united states (No supremacist) Some dummies just have to realize it, and yes there is plenty more work to do, Mychal Bell just needs an ultimate ASS whooping, and he has nobody around but the white man to do, so be it, at some point you have to learn, and evolve as an individual, no one else can do that for you

Let me repeat, NOTHING A IGNORANT PERSON DOES IN ANYWAY SHALL BE A REFLECTION OF ME AS A BLACK PERSON, SORRY, FUCK YOU, I WILL NOT TAKE IT LIGHTLY, EVERY RACE HAS IT’S BAD APPLES INDEFINITELY

Difference is, Other races look out for their own solidly even the bad apples, Black people lack that support among 1another for some odd reason, we lack a detrimental love for 1another, it has somehow been replaced with envy, and disdain!!

I HOPE MY PEOPLE GET IT TOGETHER AS A WHOLE, AND LEARN TO LOVE THE NEIGHBOR EACH OTHER MUCH MORE………… TAKE NOTE FROM THE LATINO’S !!

@ Judah,

Don’t you think its simply natural for a black woman to stand up for other black women? If the Jewish man holds his own counterparts as his equal, what makes you think that the black women will not? I don’t think most black women stand up for those of their kind predominantly because they were affected by your comments but simply because they see one of their own attacked.

On the issue of abortion. The white men wouldn’t care if 2 million Africans beat their children endlessly with rocks…the Arabs do it all the time. As a matter of fact, African villages still burn women if there is a slight suspicion that they are witches. The white men doesn’t care unless his interests is at stake. The same things goes with aids. If aids wasn’t ravaging 50% of the 20 to 40 some years olds in Africa (the working population in Africa), white america would have called Aids the flu!

@Dukesman

You’ve never read where I diatribed against Malcolm X, so that is a lie. I spoke the truth concerning him and you could not refute it because you idolize him. The brother attempted to trick the white man after he left the Nation of Islam and it did not work. That has nothing to do with his natural gifts, intellect, and phenomenal speaking ability. At the end of his life he learned the truth about our people, and I know that for fact.

In regards to MLK, he was a devil through and through and it had nothing to do with just the “march on Washington”. Those black people were not going to burn down any buildings, lol. If they were, the U.S army would’ve been mobilized so fast on every and anything black that there would have been carnage well before they got there, so spare me the revisionist pseudo-militant history. Many black women idolize him because he brought them closer to white society and encouraged black men to allow themselves to be brutalized by their enemies and to “forgive” people that do not seek forgiveness unless it is a ploy. Do some research on Stanley Levinsohn and Issidore Needleman. That devil, MLK, was a communist and a hom*sexual, as were all his “confidants”.

As far as black people today that I like, I like Muhammad Ali. In black history I like Nat Turner, Denmark Vesey, William Shakespeare, Mozart, Hadyn, Beethoven, William Wallace, Vlad the Impaler, Hannibal, Judas Maccabeus, Spartacus, the prophets, the apostles, Paul, King David, Judith, &Esther. Those are the first black people that come to mind that I like. The only black men I’ve ever “admired” were my father and Christ.

@ All the women on this post…

Just remember that the biggest advocates against abortions are men who cannot get pregnant. Would you let a blind man preach to you about how to cross the street? Abortion is a sensitive issue and men do not share the same sensitivities as a woman on issues affecting women. Abortion is a decision between the woman and her God.

@ Judas,

In your list of admirers you left out Charles Manson and Timothy McVeigh. I will not engage you in your “propaganda ministry” However, Bayard Rustin, himself a former member of the Young Communist League, the youth arm of the CPUSA, introduced Stanley David Levisohn to Martin Luther King, Jr. in New York City. I do not frown upon the fact that Martin Luther King associated himself with Levisohn. Martin Luther King did say in one of his speeches, which Stanley used to write for him “The question is not whether we will be extremists, but what kind of extremists we will be… The nation and the world are in dire need of creative extremists.” So Levisohn was teaching him something…lol Martin Luther King should have adapted Levisohn’s radical and extremist views, instead of singing “we shall overcome” He was singing when he should have been swinging.

The only Black men you ever admired were your father and Christ. You wrote “father” in lower case “f” so I am guessing you are referring to the biological one. But it struck me, why would you mention Christ and not Melchizedek?

@Let’s Not Lie

You should consider changing your screen name because it’s obvious that lying, primarily to yourself, is not a problem for you at all. Have you spoken to former members of Al Sharpton’s “National Action Network” like we have to know what you’re talking about, and more importantly, what he’s about? His entire organization is one giant hustle which is predicated on shaking down major companies and using racial incidents as a way to line his pockets and advance himself in the eyes of the white elite. He is what is known in the Bible as a “dumb dog” (Isaiah 56:10,11, Micah 3:11). This is why he, and other scum like Michael Baisden, ran down to New Orleans to take advantage of the entire cesspool. They are Boule, and their job is to protect the interests of the white elite. In exchange for misleading the blacks, they get a little change and they get to be in on some of the white man’s secrets. As far as knowing who were women or men in the marches, real men don’t march for respect. They respect themselves and they take respect from those that disrespect them. That’s how every other autonomous, knowledgeable race does it. This is how it is easy to discern that black people really want to remain under white authority when they talk that “equality” nonsense. Only an effeminate man would march for respect in a society that was created off of his labor. The women I don’t pay attention to, because like I’ve said, your palms have been greased. In ancient warfare, the women and children are taken prisoner along with the cattle while the men are killed. There’s a reason for that. You’re not a threat. At all.

No great man has ever marched for a cause, and you cannot name ONE. NOT ONE. The white man makes movies about him being a great “freedom fighter” where he kills 10 million people so he can be free, but then he tells the other races that they should march, smh. Gandhi was a trained agent of the British MI5. Did you know that before you tried to drop your misinformation on me? Martin Luther King was a trained communist by the white Jewish KGB. Did you know that? Do a google image search on the “Martin Luther King Folk Highlander School” and get back to me with something intelligent. Why do you think that the East Indians killed Gandhi? They knew that he was trying to subvert their cause with the nonviolent rhetoric. Why do you think that the white man made a movie about Gandhi? Any movie that the white man makes about a person is because he had that man in his pocket, and he wants to commemorate that man so that future generations will be encouraged to admire that man. Why do you think that Spike Lee could not get the funding for the Malcolm X movie? They did not have Malcolm in their pocket.

In regards to abortion and whether or not people believe the “fetus is human”, what the hell else would it be, unless an elephant is the baby daddy? That is the stupidity of so-called enlightened thinking. The problem is not that the fetus is not human, it is that many of these adults are not human. By that reasoning, a person can drive a car off the road with you in it because they feel like committing suicide and you are a passenger in their vehicle. You are (by the reasoning of the pro-choice people) not relevant because you are inside their property. Right or wrong? Give me a damn break. The actual right that women in America have is the woman’s right to be a whore, not the woman’s right to choose. The woman’s right to choose, and the l*sbian movement are offshoots of that initial movement.

YOUTH Rise UP

Tuesday, December 30, 2008 /

I don’t know what’s going on with our youth these days. We ALL young and old need to meditate on God’s word…be slow to wrath because MOST of the time WE can not handle the feedback or consequences from our reactions.

I think it all starts at home. Sometimes as parents we rush to our childs side when they are wrong instead of making them face the consequence of their bad behavior and so they take this into their young adult and adult hood thinking that Momma gonna rescue me but they soon see that once you turn what 11 the law not playing with you anymore and you must reap what you sow.

Get a hobby, seek God and do good with your life before it’s too late.

Youth Rise Up!

Tuesday, December 30, 2008 /

Judah, i dont knock anything you are saying because those are your feelings, but it seems like you have a problem with black women and when i say black women i’m generalizing just like you are. If 85% of black women cant be taken seriously, and most do this and most do that, then black men have to take the blame. Why is is that the majority of women are marching, why more black women are in church, and in places of higher education? Because getting black men (generalizing again) to do ANYTHING is like pulling teeth. Including acting like you got some sense (Bell), or paying your damn child support (LeVert). White men do have more “respect” or reverence for black women than they have for black men, they see us as something when its clear that a lot of you black men see us as nothing. So yeah black women get abortions mainly because black men dont wear condoms and dont pay child support.

@Dukesman

Lmao, negro are you running for president? What’s with all the ass kissing? This is why our people will be lost until this society is destroyed by Christ. There will always be a weak-minded, weak-hearted coward that will tell the people what they want to hear instead of what they need to hear. You sound like one of these clowns that has paid for many an abortion because “your god”, (of “love” right?) told you that you shouldn’t want to be bothered. Women use the reasoning of rape or incest, which is understandable, but how many women are having abortions for those reasons? The fact of the matter is that America justifies the wicked. This is why the black community is so destroyed, and Obama will not change it one iota. What is “a decision between a woman and her god”? What is that? How many gods are there? How can a god belong to a human being? You said “her god”, which denotes ownership. This gives away the fact that you people make up an entity based on your ego and call it “god”, smh.

Do me a favor too. Stop trying to go into vain history to try to show that you know something. I don’t know who you’re trying to impress, but you make an even bigger ass of yourself than normal when you do that.

I don’t know what “propaganda ministry is”, and I suspect neither do you. You’re like a female that always wants to argue, so I already know that when you say that you will “not engage me”, it is because you know that you can’t contest it and you will be made to look idiotic. Your comment on abortion already shows that you’re concerned about how you’re perceived on a blog, lol. No disrespect man, I didn’t mean to go too historically deep for you. I know that when you start to speak on black history outside if what the white man taught, which is “Africa-based”, you lose negroes. Yes, all those people were black.

Why would Charles Manson or Timothy McVeigh be in a list of people that I admire? I guess you’re trying to be funny. In all actuality, white men with the mentality of a Charles Manson or a Tim McVeigh were probably your commanding officers in those wars you fought to secure his empire. When you went to kill those people, rape those women ,and molest those children. Remember that? You can’t hide what you devils have done and are doing. Many of the true race supremacists are in the U.S. armed forces looking to get training to bring back to America.

Why would I write Melchelzidek when Christ is the one that came to save our people? Are you trying to show that you believe or know that they are the same entity, lol?

Judah,

Pulling random numbers out of your fingertips does not make your statements any more plausible. As a matter of fact, it does the opposite. Because you don’t personally know the number of Black women that you make claims about, you ought to choose your words more carefully. I take offense to the conceit which permits you to speak with certainty about things that you could not possibly know in many of your comments that I have read. I also find that your manner of defense against my criticism confirms that it hit the nail right on the head. You imply in your “old saying” that I am one of the professed 85% of the “mentally and emotionally unstable and contradictory as you can get” women; however this ad hominem labeling doesn’t prove your point at all. It is just one more example of your bad habit of making claims about something or someone whom you could not possibly know—ME!

“You think I just make this stuff up, lol?”
Not all of it ; )

“You know I don’t, because if I did, my comments wouldn’t draw the ire and wrath of so many people like yourself.”
Epic FAIL!! This statement is laughable. You’re basically saying that you know that you are right primarily because a bunch of people are telling you that you are wrong. Does that really make a whole lot of sense? If you conceitedly believe that you know better than everyone else, all of the time, then I guess it does.

I’m allergic to your brand of BS. Please try harder next time.
