Anybody ever heard of The Daily Kos?

I was looking up some pics of Black Women to post on my blog as I am celebrating women with flat noses and I cam across this website called The Daily Kos. I was delighted to find that last year, someone there defended the honor and beauty of Black Women from that dredful feux-scienist who will remain unnamed. I was so delighted to read and I wanted to pass it along to any sisters who may have political Democrat sympathies as I believe that this is what the site deals with. Here is some more info!

Wiki FAQs

Page I was referring to.

I don't know what color or sex the writer was, but I d appreciate their breaking down the info and being a voice of reason in our defense. Check them out and remember that Black Women are......

I have no catchy title for this one. Too pissed.

Thank you, Father Attucks!

So, I just posted this on my Facebook (FB is the reason I haven't been posting here lately. Hehe!)

Ok. So I just for the first time heard Chris Rock's whole "Black's vs. Niggas" and.....wow! How he thought that whole display of coonery wouldn't put him in the latter category is beyond me. All that does is invite outsiders to disrespect the members of his group, who don't have his fame and money. 

You know, we talk a lot about rappers and how they sell out all people of black American descent, but what about comedians like him and that evil Chepelle? (I hate him BTW) Why can't these fools rely on their own talent and stop wit the race gimmicks? Why do they not give a crap about how that effects the rest of us and future generations? And why do so many dull-minded "blacks" back up coonery? I don't get it.

Add to that his really dumb Tweet about the 4th of July. I had mentioned to someone earlier that Crispus Attucks was an African/Native American biracial man who gave his life for the Revolution and I'm sure he was thinking about future generations of US. So why not call it Crispus Attucks Day, if you want to relate it to our unique history. Geesh.

Then something else came up. I was looking up an article and came across someone who had posted about his and a few other controversies over the holiday and something said there shocked me. I really like this gorgeous French actress named Julie Delpy. She made this awesome film about Countess Erzebet Bathory. If you have Netflix give it a watch. It's called "The Countess". She wrote and directed it and I was psyched to see that she was staring in another Indie all her own called 2 Days in New York and I was totally revved up to see it....until I saw who her love interest was-Chris Rock. Now bare in mind, this was BEFORE the Twitter incident. I didn't want to see any movie with him because I loathe his whole "Good Hair" clown show. Then this incident happened and now I read something very, very depressing from the author of this article:

"Rock has yet to respond to the social media "backlash," instead moving on by promoting the upcoming iTunes release of 2 Days In New York—Julie Delpy's neurotic indie romance that Middle America is totally not going to watch now."

That honestly saddens me. Think about it, many people probably don't know who Julie is, and the idea that her work could be tainted in anyway by Rock's actions just sickens me.I hope that doesn't happen. I really do.

What sickens me even more is why don't more black people in general understand that by not checking these types of people that, what this person predicts will happen to Julie, will happen to the rest of us? Why? Why do they support on principle any  person just because they are black? Isn't that racism? Why not vet them to see if they are truly in the best interests of the people or just using their identity to sell out everyone else for personal gain. Take the blinders off and realize that supporting so-called members of your group who do not reflect your values is not in your best interest.

Happy Belated Fourth!

For Jasmine Thar- Don't let her be forgotton!

PLEASE PASS THIS AROUND TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!!!!!!!!

Read her story here and pass it along!

Jasmine Thar Case Draws Comparisons to Trayvon Martin; Why Hasn’t Her Killer Been Charged?

Last December, 16 year-old Jasmine Thar was visiting family in North Carolina when a single bullet struck her, as well as her aunt and cousin. While the other two women survived, Jasmine died from her injuries.

The shooter, James Anthony Blackwell, lived across the street. He claimed his 700 model Remington rifle went off by accident. The local police believed him, and Blackwell was released without any charges being filed against him.

Thar’s family is outraged that Blackwell has not been charged. They point to the implausibility of a single bullet, fired by accident, going through a window and hitting three different people; as well as the fact that Blackwell, a white man, had confederate flags and Nazi readings and memorabilia in his bedroom, as proof that there might have been a far more sinister motive behind the shooting.

According to Forbes Magazine, the FBI is now looking into the case.

From Forbes Magazine:

“Even an accidental death is liable for prosecution. The lack of charges against Blackwell more than five months after the shooting is disturbing. It seems incredulous that the local authorities did not, at least, file manslaughter,  negligent homicide or some other lesser charge immediately after the shooting.”

The Thar family is demanding justice for Jasmine. At the very least, they believe that a thorough investigation into the shooting needs to take place immediately.

From WSOCTV:

“Jasmine Thar’s family and civil rights activist John Barnett met Wednesday morning at her former school to announce a trip back to Chadbourn, N.C., where Jasmine was killed.
The man who shot her said it was an accident, and the district attorney there said he needs more time to review evidence.
‘It’s been almost five months, nearly six (or) seven holidays passed (and) no one arrested, no testing. And so the family needs closure. We won’t sit idle and do nothing about this. We are going full force,’ Barnett said.”
