June 17th New York City NAACP is holding a silent march

Posted on June 1, 2012 by Robert Lloyd

Last year in New York City, police stopped and interrogated black men and boys between the ages 14 and 24 a total of 168,126 times.
The total population of black men and boys aged 14 through 24 in New York City is 158,406.
That means the amount of times police stopped black men and boys in this age group exceeds the total number living in the city.
In fact, last year, more than 85% of the 685,000 people stopped by the NYPD were African American or Latino, most of them children and young adults. This is up from less than 100,000 stops a decade ago. Then, like now, 90% of those stopped are completely innocent.
All this adds up to nothing less than the most aggressive street-level racial profiling program in the country.
On June 17th, we’re demanding an end to this alarming and abusive practice. The NAACP is holding a silent march in New York City to call for an end to New York’s notorious “stop and frisk” program. Our marchers won’t be speaking, so I need you to write the messages that will serve as their voices during the march.
Help the NAACP end the abuse of stop and frisk. Create a message for the banners, signs, and posters carried by thousands through the streets of New York on June 17th:

http://action.naacp.org/silent-march-message

In contrast to previous demonstrations, we will march in silence as an illustration of both the tragedy and serious threat that stop and frisk and other forms of racial profiling present to our society. The silent march was first used in 1917 by the NAACP – then just eight years old – to draw attention to race riots that tore through communities in East St. Louis, Illinois, and build national opposition to lynching.
Now, 95 years later, we will use this powerful protest to shine a light on the great injustice of stop and frisk and begin rebuilding national opposition to racial profiling. The march will be the first step in a nationwide federal and state-level campaign to address the problem of racial profiling.
Because we will remain silent as we march, your words will be especially important.
If you’re outraged that police, security guards and even community watch volunteers in so many neighborhoods continue to treat young people of color differently, or if you’re concerned for your children, or your neighbors’ and friends’ children, then channel these emotions into a message of 15 words or less and share it with us today. We will pick five messages to print for the march.
Be the voice of the silent marchers on June 17th. Submit your message for our protest signs today:

O.J. is innocent and I can prove it – William Dear

Posted on May 4, 2012 by Robert Lloyd

Edward Thomas Jr. Review

I thoroughly enjoyed the book, well put together, although and I agree with the proven ‘innocence’ of O.J. Simpson, I don’t agree with the “overlooked suspect” identified as Jason Simpson.

While I am not an investigator but when this trial started, I watched it from beginning to the end and found nothing presented by the prosecution that would link O.J. to these murders. However, being Black, the easy kill, (celebrity status disappeared) he was the perfect patsy.

My ‘suspects’ centered on the drug aspect which was ruled out in this book – in my opinion – for a quest of climax. In the book it was documented that Ron Goldman was a drug dealer and his roommate “had his throat cut” in what was being called a drug-related death. Also Faye Resnick, another drug user that had introduced Nicole to its use with the thought of opening a restaurant with no money of her own but connected to drug dealers. Yet, in this book, these individuals were summarily dismissed as a nexus leading up to these murders.

A key witness (a maid) at the trial (omitted in the book) stated that on the night of the murders, she saw a number of men dressed in black approaching in the alley. Suddenly, a discrepancy was discovered on her application for employment that caused a few extra dollars to come her way. Then as if by a puff of smoke, she was deported back to Latin America and never heard of again.

Then it was the ‘shoes’ – no shoes recovered no receipts of sale, etc., I was delighted with the investigation and exposure of the blood on the well placed socks by the ‘Katz and jammer’ (professional?) police. However, the thorough examination of the bloody socks turned out as it did at the trial to be ‘planted’ blood since it had a preservative (EDTA) from the vial of blood taken at the jail. In Spokane, WA, when Fuhrman wrote his book “Murder in Brentwood”, he was rewarded with a Radio Talk Show which folded after awhile for lack of talent.

This book even talked about the Las Vegas ‘setup’ arrest to ‘get’ Simpson for the murders that was supposed to have been done by him – well it worked and they jailed an innocent man that simply could not define ‘friend from foe – sad.
The LAPD embarrassed considers the case closed.

This was an interesting book but for the leap to conclusion in my opinion. It is too bad that our judicial system only concerns itself with sensationalism – not justice.

Jeff Mooring: Let’s Talk Chocolate Diamonds

Morning

Here’s hoping you have a great day. Thought I’d share this.

I’ve recently become aware of a high powered ad campaign by a decent sized jewelry company. They’re marketing something called chocolate diamonds. These are stones that were previously considered of no value because of their appearance. You hire the right agency to write the right copy and they come up with it.

Chocolate Diamonds “they’re anything but vanilla”

I’m more convinced than ever that my idea of selling dirt would work. How’s this?

Save the earth, buy a bag. ????

Great day to you. B N Touch.

Wealth Gaps Between Whites, Blacks, Hispanics

Posted on December 9, 2011 by Robert Lloyd

By Paul Taylor, Richard Fry, and Rakesh Kochhar

The median wealth of white households is 20 times that of black households and 18 times that of Hispanic households, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of newly available government data from 2009.

These lopsided wealth ratios are the largest since the government began publishing such data a quarter century ago and roughly twice the size of the ratios that had prevailed between these three groups for the two decades prior to the Great Recession that ended in 2009.

With Cain Out Turn the Glare on Gingrich’s Racial Skeletons

Posted on December 7, 2011 by Robert Lloyd

Earl Ofari Hutchinson Author and political analyst

With GOP presidential contender Herman Cain’s presidential candidacy effectively dead, now’s a good time to turn a hard glare on the suddenly surging GOP Presidential contender Newt Gingrich’s racial skeletons. His closet is stuffed with them. The first reminder of that was his off-the-cuff crack at Harvard that ghetto children are lazy and chronic thieves and should be dumped into menial jobs early on to break their alleged ghetto slothful habits. This racially loaded slur was vintage Gingrich. . . . . .

With Cain Out Turn the Glare on Gingrich’s Racial Skeletons

Posted 12.07.2011 | Black Voices

Private citizen Gingrich was out of the news for the decade after his House tenure ended. But that didn’t mean he had toned down, let alone, altered his thinking, about minorities and how society should deal with them.
