That’s so sad

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!

SMH

Oh that is just so sad!

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.

All the railing and protesting to get those boys out and for what? To bite all the black folks that really took the time out to help. We have a African American president please y’all we have got to do better. PLEASE……..

@#2 and #5

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.

that’s sad…real sad…i guess some ppl can’t take the pressure

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.

Bell Sucks, his mama should not have paid his bail, he needs to be in prison. Yes that school, principal, town and even Dillard’s (i used to work there so i know they profile like a mutha) are racist but this dude is a fool and a half. He needed to shoot himself. go sit down.

I am telling you guys, this is what we face living here in the South, racism is still veryu much alive in the South.

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.

Smh @ all of this.

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!

The young man were troubled way before the Jena 6 incident, what makes people think, they were going to fly right,s becaue us marched and made donations. They need guidance, direction, help, etc.

forgive me for the typos, fly right because we marched

I SO agree #10.

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!

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.

where is Al and Jesse to help these boys find their way in life. They used them to get media attention like they always do and dumped them after the cameras weren’t around. Why didn’t they provide mentorship for these boys?

UH UH! Beyonce sang that mess WAY better! LMAO! Is this a joke? Honestly. Ciara needs to get her anorexic ass some voice training because she was straight whispering the whole track.

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.

MY BAD! Wrong Post! LOL!

WE FALL DOWN, BUT WE GET UP…SOME OF US AT LEAST!!!…DAYUM, DAYUM, DAYUM!!!

if he wasnt shoplifting he wouldnt have the attention in the first place i dont feel sorry for this dude

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.

Come on Concreteloop What’s been going on yall posting like one thing a day. I never had this problem Angel

I wish Mychal Bell would get his shit together, seriously.

Sorry my comment didnt have anything to do with the topic. i needed to put that out there I have been disappointed the last couple of days with this site.

Moron!

LOL@29. I HAVE ALOT OF FAM IN MONROE, BUT DAMN, DAMN, DAMN ALL AROUND!

mychal bell – what a loser!

SEXT DC..concrete loop is not the only gossip BLOG on the net…if your really that interested in juicy irrelevent gossip nonstop remeber this is the internet……theres plenty of blogs….

Anyway, I feel sorry for Mr. Bell but also disappointed. He needs to understand that acting ignorant gives racist people a reason to talk down about people of different backgrounds and the color of there skin…if anything he needs to act and be the opposite of what ignorant people assume and label us as.

Mychal probably needs to remove himself from his environment. He’d probably be better off in another city and/or state, where hopefully he can start fresh and leave the past behind him.

All of this is sad.

sad that he tried to kill himself
its never that bad mr bell
im praying for you tonight

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.

!!!!! HE WAS NOT TRYING TO KILL HIMSELF HE WAS CLEANING A GUN WHEN IT WENT OFF. HE WAS PROBABLY ON HIS WAY TO COMMIT AN ARMED ROBBERY. !!!!

Judah I knew you would show up on this post and I was waiting to read your response to it.

“Some of these sisters have as many young black male bodies on them as these Klansmen in the form of abortions.”

Deep and absolutely true.

Judah. Before you start casting aspersions on an entire group of women with bogus statistics, I’m going to need for you to cite your source. NONE of the black women that I know act or react in the manner that you describe, I included.

Judah, I also find it rather ridiculous that you would compare a black woman who has an abortion to a Klan member in the same post that talks about a black man sentenced to jail time for failure to pay child support.

How about you take your two cents and buy yourself a freaking clue. I think I would lend more credulity to your arguments if you didn’t come to your conclusions based on faulty generalizations.

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.

So, can it be said that Sean Levert died from failure to pay child support? Must be quite a dilemma for his widow…Angela.

Sweetie i never said this was the only gossip site i can name 10 gossip sites off the top of my head. U misunderstood what i was talking about. So since u felt the need to comment on my post i guess i have to break it down 4 U. This site is normally updated early in the morning and by evening is updated again. Last week or the week before that the site was never updated the whole week. Today one post was made and thats it. My comment was for angel not for some one to post about it.

Sweetie am at work so i can’t play blog games all day. This site is one of the first sites that i go to in the morning and it’s always updated lately it has’nt been. So hopefully MSFLYASTHESKY the next time U feel the need to comment on some one else post you have a better understanding of what they mean, because you make an ASS out of youself.

Michael Bell

Thai is what happen when we dont take care of our kids. This is what happen when we blame the slave mind for every little thing. Anyone who would has read all Facts regarding the Jena is not suprise. He not the only one in trouble. Instead of giving these boys what the deserve, we send them out onto the world to prey on more kid.

DOnt you just love the power of protest. Dosent even matter if your dead wrong.

Excuse me typing error (yourself)

@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.

excuse me (yourself)

man…I’m speechless….SMH…

@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

@ Judah I agree with you…..on some parts lol.

ok maybe not all lmao….

omfg!!! judah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

SHUT THE F__K UP!!!!! pls!!!

i don’t even know where to begin when i read your comments….GET HELP
