Really? I can understand from an emotionally-invested perspective … But from a legal standpoint the PA Supreme court got it right. We still have rights under the constitution. So if prosecution wants to keep playing these shoddy legal maneuvers, then those guilty of crimes will be on the street. Especially since, the more money you have the better access you have to exercising legal rights. Now if you’re broke and black, the wheels of justice turn slowly. Did you see the story of a Black man who was finally exonerated after serving 34 years in prison? If he were wealthy he would have never served a day.

Mel Funny thin is I kicked Italian Victor’s azz when he called me a n-er. We were rolling around in the school yard until Mr. Weintraub with the awful toupee finally pulled us apart. Lol @ "Italian Victor" I would think if you went to school in New York there would be SO MANY Italians named Victor in your school it would be next to useless to give him that name. It probably wouldn't be too much better than saying "Italian Tony" or "Puerto Rican Hector"...lol. But your story brought up an interesting memory of a Nigerian girl I used to pick on in the 4th grade. I think we even fought eachother once. I didn't pick on her because she was Nigerian because I didn't know about that at the time; I picked on her out of ignorance because she was dark skinned with African features. It's shameful looking back on it now and I regret doing it. She actually turned out to be a very beautiful girl....cheerleader...in high school. I didn't experience much racism as a kid. My neighborhood was ALREADY Black when I was born into it. It was almost all White about 10 years earlier but by the time the late 60s and early 70s rolled around it was pretty much mostly Black. There were only a handful of White people left. Usually those too poor to leave. I still remember some HIPPIES who used to sit on the porch with their shirts off with long hair, playing on their guitars and waving at everybody who passed...lol "Down on the corner... Out in the street....."

Of course Black should get the vaccine. "They" could have used the MMR vaccine which far more people, including kids, take if they wanted to kill us off. Social media has been far more effective in controlling us; indeed one could argue THAT is the tool confusing so many people NOT to take the vaccine and is THE reason some many more of are dying than necessary. You should live you life on your terms. The "fight" is for young people anyway... Elders should be sought for advise and counsel; to provide motivation and lessons learned. Young Black people are rarely interested in learning from older people, so we reinvent the wheel and make the same mistakes. Often elders refuse to relishing the reins and hold on to power far too long... Some people think that is what the aliens are here to do 🙂 Seriously, it will not take a miracle. Mortality will be the solution. In 20 years Trump, Mitch McConnell and the old school racist will be out of office and almost certainly be dead.

We need to pick our battles wisely. I'm glad the Coz is out of prison, however openly and brazenly embracing a man who according to the evidence: 1. Got women intoxicated to the point they had no control of themselves and proceeded to have sex with them 2. Repeatedly committed adultery on his wife ....does our community a disservice and isn't a very strategic move because of the messages it sends to boys and young men. It also makes women of all races...including Black women...feel a certain way looking at so many men rejoice over this. They may clap and cheer along with Black men but trust me, most AfroAmerican women are looking at the reaction of AfroAmerican men to this and filing it away in their minds....and it's gonna brew and ferment and come out later on as a twisted example some Black men supporting rape and misogyny. Watch and see. I warned Black men a week ago to just be glad our brother was released and keep their mouths SHUT about this. Many didn't want to listen. We're gonna see how their words and reactions to this incident end up being used against some of them.

I'm totally surprised!
