Zimmerman Sues NBC And Loses!

Can't sue the media without having the facts.

The controversial Florida man wanted to sue the junk food media after they portrayed him as a "racist" in the 2012 event in which he killed unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin.

This lawsuit was going against NBC News for editing a 9-1-1 call in which it only singled out the part where he named the race of the teen, "looks up to no good" and these "assholes (punks) get away" remark.

The lawsuit was thrown out on merits that this asshole couldn't prove that NBC and its sister network Obama News did something malice in its reporting.

The asshole vows to appeal this controversial decision.

For once, I will actually smile knowing that this dead end will continue to be in the news. It's a matter of time that this guy does something that may eventually put his ass in the iron college.

Shawn James, Black Freelance Writer: Critical Thinking About Tamera Mowry-Housely’s EXTRA EXTRA SALTY TEARS

Mr. Housely should have protect his wife and child from racist insults. 


Shawn James, Black Freelance Writer: Critical Thinking About Tamera Mowry-Housely’s EXTRA EXTRA SALTY TEARS

A very insightful commentary on the cyber harassment of Tamera Mowry-Housely's interracial relationship.  Mr. James criticized the scapegoating of Black men by the mainstream media when it comes to racism in interracial relationships.  It's mainstream America that still have a problem with those relationships and they project their hatred of such relationships onto Black men and women.

And another thing, where's her husband when those incidents happened? He didn't defend her against those trolls who didn't like their being together. Those trolls weren't Black. They are more than likely nonblack people disguising themselves as Blacks to vent out their racist bs on message boards and social networks.

Here's another perspective on the Tamera Mowry-Housely's situation by Ed of Dream and Hustle:

Michelle Obama Heckled By Activist!

Does everyone have to be disrespectful around First Lady Michelle Obama?

The ongoing disrespect towards President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama continues.

Not from those usual suspects in the conservative agitating circles but a lesbian activist who interrupts the First Lady while she was attending a Democratic fundraiser.

Those in the conservative/white supremacist bubble think of the First Lady as an "angry Black woman" and "primate". This incident will assure the conservatives a reason to attack the only Obama who has high approval among the public.

The woman who heckled the First Lady wanted to make attention to issues surround around LGBT issues.

ABC News reports that Mrs. Obama was delivering a speech at a DNC event at a private home in Washington shortly after 6 p.m. when a protester began shouting for the president to sign an executive order to protect gay and lesbian rights, according to pool reports.

“One of the things I don’t do well is this,” Obama reportedly responded to loud applause. She then left the podium and walked toward the heckler, saying she could “listen to me or you can take the mic, but I’m leaving. You all decide. You have one choice.”

The protester was later identified as Ellen Sturtz, an activist for the pro-LGBT rights group GetEQUAL.

The crowd begged for the first lady to stay and one woman near Sturtz shouted, “You need to go.”

Sturtz was reportedly escorted out, identifying herself as a “lesbian looking for federal equality before I die.”

GetEQUAL later contacted the White House press pool and said Sturtz was calling for an executive order to bar discrimination by federal contractors based on sexual orientation or gender identity.

The event, which was also attended by Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the chair of the Democratic National Committee, was held at the home of Karen Dixon and Nan Schaffer in NW Washington.

CNN reports that the interruption came less than two weeks after President Obama faced a Code Pink protester who loudly advocated for the closure of the Guantanamo Bay prison during the president's national security speech.
I bet the heckler, Ellen Sturtz won't be invited to any events with politicos!
The president, who was making his remarks before cameras and a large audience, handled the situation differently than his wife's confrontation Tuesday night.

"This is part of free speech, is you being able to speak but also you listening and me being able to speak, alright?" Obama said upon the interruption. The president has used the tactic before when interrupted.

The woman, peace activist Medea Benjamin, kept up her protest, which also included a rebuke against American drone strikes that have killed civilians. Obama eventually diverted from his prepared remarks to address the situation head-on.

"The voice of that woman is worth paying attention to," he said. "Obviously I do not agree with much of what she said and obviously she wasn't listening to me in much of what I said. But these are tough issues and the suggestion that we can gloss over them is wrong."

As with most controversial moments, the first lady's exchange with the protester was met with mixed reviews on Twitter, but many embraced her approach.

CNN reports that the exchange was captured on film.

Before I go, I want to say this clearly. This kind of behavior never happened to Laura Bush. If they would have done the type of disrespect First Lady Michelle Obama faced, the Secret Service would have taken this person down hard. It's a shame that a Black woman is honored with type of respect. 

Never in my day.

The Raw Story | Isiah Thomas: Only black men allowed to call women the 'b word'

The Raw Story | Isiah Thomas: Only black men allowed to call women the 'b word': "A bizarre deposition given by the coach of The New York Knicks in a sexual harassment suit has attracted much attention in the media. During the testimony, former Detroit Pistons legend Isiah Thomas suggested that when a black man refers to a woman as a 'bitch' it's less offensive than when a white man does the same. 'White men better not call a black woman 'bitch' around Knicks coach Isiah Thomas, but if black men do it - well, that's fair game,' Kati Cornell writes in Tuesday's New York Post."

Nifong Admits: No Crime in Lacrosse Case

Isn't this what they call a "Rush to judgment?" Since when is a case found not guilty but everyone is standing in line to complain about the "innocence" of the accused? Was anyone willing to do that for people like Geronimo Pratt? - The Angryindian
.....................................
AJC.com: DURHAM, N.C. — Disgraced former prosecutor Mike Nifong acknowledged Thursday there is "no credible evidence" that three Duke lacrosse players committed any of the crimes he accused them of more than a year ago, offering for the first time a complete and unqualified apology.

"We all need to heal," Nifong said. "It is my hope we can start this process today."

Nifong's apology came as a judge began considering whether to hold the former Durham County district attorney in criminal contempt of court for his handling of the case.

Superior Court Judge W. Osmond Smith III has already concluded there is probable cause to believe Nifong "willfully and intentionally made false statements of material fact" to the court during a hearing in the case last fall. If he finds Nifong in contempt after an Aug. 30 hearing, the now-disbarred former prosecutor could face up to 30 days in jail.

The case started with a woman's allegations that she was raped at a March 2006 lacrosse team party where she was hired as a stripper. Nifong won indictments against three team members, but the charges were later dropped, and state Attorney General Roy Cooper went a step farther by declaring the three men innocent victims of Nifong's "tragic rush to accuse."

On Thursday, Nifong apologized.
