I cannot believe that this is even going before a grand jury.

On September 30, Derrick Jones decided to beat up a cop and in the process got shot. Dead.

His brother Dewayne Jones said: "My brother, my mother's son, was murdered"

Murdered? Indeed. By who? Rene Villanueva? The cop who did the shooting?

Derrick Jones murdered himself.

Dewayne Jones also makes the assertion that: "The right choices wasn't made that night,"

Are you kidding?

Name the wrong choices here:

• Doing PCP
• Getting pulled over.
• Jumping out of the car and having it crash
• Punching a police officer in the head

Which choice was wrong?

Here's some advice for anyone else who decides that punching a police officer is a great idea
.

Seriously. Let it go.

You cant call this one racism either. While this incident was unfortunate, it could have been avoided. I doubt if Rene Villanueva set out to kill anyone that day.

Farmers Branch Texas produced another city ordinance to ban illegal immigrants from renting property in the city limits.

Another lawsuit came what, ten, fifteen seconds later?

The first ordinance was ruled illegal because it put the burden on landlords to verify citizenship. The new ordinance orders landlords to pay a five dollar charge for a license to occupy and swear that tenants are in the country legally.

What I don't understand is how the illegal immigrants are being unlawfully treated in the first place. They are in this country illegally so, sending them out of this country is not exactly what I would call illegal by any means.

I challenge anyone to show my how this is illegal or run afoul of the constitution in any way.

Like U.S. citizens going abroad, entering this country is a privilege, it is not a right. If I went to Central America and got mistreated, I can always leave and go back to the country I came from. These people, however benign they are, can do the same.

I read about the recent debacle at Spruce High School. This story has been played out a million times.

• Students go to a school that generally fails.
• Parents and concerned students show up to support it.
• The school board or the state take whatever action they deem necessary anyhow.
• Parents and concerned students protest
• The school board or the state take whatever action they deem necessary anyhow.

Rinse and repeat.

Its time for the concerned students of Spruce High School (and their parents) to do the impossible.

"
The Students who tried to save Spruce High School will be successful no matter where they go.
"

Its time for you to start thinking about things larger than yourselves. The students who asked the school board to leave their school intact are no doubt great students. Their impassioned pleas are proof of how smart they are and how much they care.

Guess what? They are going to be successful in life regardless of where they go to school.

The problem is, your being selfish. Your not thinking about the students who aren't making the grade. They need a better than what they are getting. They aren't as bright as you.

The fact is, the school needed to be dismantled. Young people usually don't like change and I understand that however, let this be a lesson that change is a way of life. You just got introduced to it a little sooner than you'd like.

Stop thinking about how your lives got disrupted and think about the students who are less fortunate and not as bright as you are. They deserve a chance too.

Pastor Rick Warren asked Barack Obama">Barack Obama "When do babies get human rights?"

Barack Obama">Barack Obama responded:

"I think that whether you are looking at it from a theological perspective or a scientific perspective, answering that question with specificity, you know, is above my pay grade."

What the hell? Above his pay grade. Nice. Do you know what this attempt in evasion reveals? Fear.

Barack Obama">Barack Obama has repeatedly voted in favor of abortion rights without failure and now that he got called on it, instead of stating what he really believes or at least what he votes and standing up for it, he decided to try to evade the question.

He then went on to diss Clarence Thomas. Of Thomas, Barack Obama">Barack Obama said that he was not “strong enough jurist or legal thinker” Interesting though. He didn't say anything bad about Chief Justice Roberts or Samuel Alito even though he voted against their nomination.

Barack himself has always branded himself some kind of hapless victim of unfair attacks by McCain and so-called right-wing nut-jobs. Now it would seem that Justice Thomas, has come under attack by none other than Barack Obama">Barack Obama. Now, I have read some of his papers. I wouldn't call Clarence Thomas a weak legal thinker. His only crime was to dare to disagree with a lot of black America. Perhaps he disagreed with Thomas's conclusion that constitution did not include a right to abortion and judicial activists simply created one.

I cant wait for the debates Barack Obama">Barack Obama has so far evaded. They will prove to be interesting.

Wouldn't you know. Former Dallas Police Chief Terrell Bolton lost his case against the City of Dallas in appeals court. None of this is hard to believe. Why he is still trying to fight Dallas City Hall is beyond me. He got fired and for good reason. Now he is busy screwing up in DeKalb County by continuing to be an idiot and continuing the same types of foolishness he did in Dallas resulting in low officer morale, and wasteful spending that lead to his ouster in Dallas.

Don't tell me. The only reason why he's under scrutiny is because he's black right?

My Brother still drinks the Barack Obama">Barack Obama Kool Aid in spite of allot of obvious and indisputable facts about him.

He tells me that he wishes I was 50, so I could have had "The Black Experience". When I think about it, that was an offensive and unkind thing to say or wish on anyone. The reason why I feel that way however, is not as obvious as it may seem.

Why would anyone want to wish going through the Civil Rights Movement on anyone? I do not have a desire to be discriminated against or watch the fire hoses of the Democrats in the south on the news every day.

Is it going to make me thankful for what I have? No. I am already thankful for everything I have and the freedoms I enjoy. I have been too close to losing all of them too many times.

I'll tell you what The Black Experience has done to many of my friends. It has put on them a terrible and in the year 2008 largely unnecessary burden they carry with them everywhere they go. I cant imagine what their days must be like. Here are some other things I cant imagine:

• I cant imagine walking around questioning the motives of everyone I see that doesn't look like me.
• I cant imagine branding people racist just because they don't understand me or ask me stupid questions out of nothing more than ignorance.
• I cant imagine using the word "White Folks" in a sentence hundreds of times per day.
• For the uneducated, beleiving that the government is out to get them and created the AIDS virus and other foolishness Jeremiah Wright and Kanye West told them through the pulpit or song.
• I cant imagine blaming my failures on an invisible and almost non-existent enemy. If its my fault, at least I can fix it.
• I cant imagine hating people who look like me just because they are conservative but loving people who commit felonies.
• I cant imagine living in fear of people who don't know me or even know of me.
• I cant image transferring this burden to my children and having them grow up with it.

No, I don't want to be born in and around 1960. I don't want to have The Black Experience. That's an experience I can do without. Its a burden I don't need. I know the intent was to get me to see things from their point of view but who in his right mind wants to look at the world through a lens so jaded?

Even though I don't want Barack Obama">Barack Obama to be president, I thank God every day I live in a country where its possible for him to be president.

Demetris McCoy has been sentenced to eight years in prison for giving his two year old and four year old nephews marijuana to smoke. Justice has been served.

Stupid.

James Fantroy got out of jail. He still denies he did anything wrong. I have got to start taking whatever it is he is taking these days to escape reality because a stiff drink and a vacation is not getting me where his mind is.

Question: Why is Robert Novack hitting a pedestrian front page news and John Edwards having a possible affair and baby not news?

So the excuse making begins, Russ Martin's show starts off with a recording of him talking to his doctor about his medications. Nice.

He should have said he was from Pleasant Grove. Thats more plausable.. LOL. Russ of course is nowhere to be found.

One of my favorite radio personalities (behind Rush Limbaugh and Howard Stern) is Russ Martin.

Well last week he went nanners. Here come the bullets as fired from an affidavit.

• He got mad at his fiance because she didn't follow up with an IRS agent about a package dilevery.
• He came home, pissed and asked her to come down stairs.
• When she didn't, he tore up a desk, assaulted her, pushing her against a wall and, ripping her hair out.
• Marks on her body and head are consistent with this according to the police.
• He then got a pistol, loaded it, cocked it and started pacing the kitchen floor.

Well, if this is true, Russ Martin is a pussy for beating up a woman. I mean women get beat up by their felon boyfriends in Pleasant Grove daily where he grew up but he is not in Tha MotherFuckin Grove no mo.

My prediction: He will pay her off six figures and all of this goes away.

This article written by Dr. Henrie M. Treadwell was brought to my attention last weekend. When saw the title, "Millions of African Americans Will Be Disenfranchised on Election Day" I thought this was something about polling places, public transportation or something remotely valid.

No, she is are talking about voting rights for felons. I went ahead and read this foolishness with an open mind. Then my eyes began to roll backwards.

Here is an excerpt.

Nationwide there are several million people who are ineligible to vote because of various state laws that restrict voting by ex-felons released from prison. If those currently serving time for felony convictions are added to ex-felons released from prison a total of 5.3 million people won't be allowed to vote. Clearly, this disenfranchisement could impact the outcome of the election since the vote in swing states will be close. This could hurt Obama because a disproportionate number of ex-felons are African Americans and blacks have overwhelmingly supported his campaign.

In Florida, another key state in November, 1,089,911 people can't vote because the state places voting restrictions on ex-felons released from prison, as well as those on probation and parole. There are also a number of disenfranchised ex-felons in other key states, such as: New Jersey (99,136), North Carolina (37,352), Georgia (232,972), Louisiana (59,971), New Mexico (10,955), Colorado (6,920), Missouri (60,428) and Nevada (32,440).

 Read it again. She is actually saying that millions of people will not be able to vote because they are felons. She then says that because the majority of them are black that this could hurt Barack Obama">Barack Obama.

"
This argument that blacks are being disenfranchised because felons cannot vote is intellectually bankrupt.
"

What this sounds like is "Barack Obama">Barack Obama must win at all costs." Now the people have passed laws stating that if you have no intention on obeying the laws then you shouldn't pick the lawmakers.

Committing a felony is pretty serious business. I don't care what or why you did it.

I read this article and became incensed. At the time of this writing I have managed to live 40 years without committing a felony. Millions of other blacks have managed to do the same. So I am going to make a bold assumption here that its possible for African Americans to live without committing felonies. The same applies to white people. With this in mind they simply are not being disenfranchised and this argument is intellectually bankrupt.

What is society to do? Activists in the hood say they want drugs off the streets. The police arrest and convict people involved in the trade. Then, when the jails fill up they complain again stating that too many of us are in prison. You cant please some people.

I am not going to sit here and say that some drug laws were not designed to target blacks. Well, guess what, drugs are destroying black society, so perhaps getting those people off the streets are a good thing.

If you know the deck is stacked against you to that degree then there is a quick and easy solution. Try not committing crimes and/or buying and selling drugs. It is possible.

Instead of launching this "Felons for Obama Campaign", why not publish an article in the newspapers warning blacks not to engage in felonious activity so they can vote in the fall.

Nah, that might be a productive use of your time now wouldn't it?
