Latasha Norman is missing

Posted by gcuse03champs in Untagged

Latasha Norman a 20 year old black student at Jackson State University in Mississippi  has been missing for a week and even the local police chief concedes  that the case is not gaining national attention because of the missing persons race. It's very sad that this young lady who has been missing for just one week has gotten almost no news coverage while Natalee Holloway who has been missing for almost 3 years is dominating this Thanksgiving Holiday's news headlines.
Click the link below to see Latasha's picture and read more on this sad story.

 Race War or Black Genocide:

Where is Black Leadership? Jesse and Al are missing on this one!

Respect! One Love, One People, One Goal: Black Empowerment

Charles E. Campbell

 Read The Comments of Dr. Claud Anderson:

For over thirty years, I have warned Black America that the massive influx of immigrants into this country would have a negative impact primarily on Black Americans. Major White corporations, Asians, Arabs, and Hispanics would benefit by gained "unearned" minority and affirmative benefits which were originally intended for Black Americans.

Speaker used n word at March On Hate Crimes

Posted by gcuse03champs in Untagged

Former mayor Marion Barry of Washington D.C. gave a speech at The March On Hate Crimes in Washington D.C. on 11/16/07 in which he used the n word. I waited a few days to post this to see if it would be mentioned at all by any of the press.

Now I know the march was held on a Friday which is why that except for CNN it got as much coverage as a hog calling contest in Idaho but I know I wasn't the only one that heard it.

Now I understand the context it was used in but at a "March On Hate Crimes" it might be a word that should be avoided. Marion Berry is still very popular in D.C.
