Mr. Calhoun.
Thank you for a very rational and truthful comment on the racist convict-leasing system. There is the beginning of your comment where you and I part ways:
"This book is both profoundly factual, and at times, partially "un-factual," -- that is, reconstructed history. In instances where the ex-slaves could not speak for themselves, which were many, Mr. Blackmon deigns to speak for them himself. It is what can only be called "necessary historical extrapolation, in defense of the defenseless." "
I believe that someone must speak for those who have remained voiceless for so many generations, and as many Black people living during this time could not speak up, and out for themselves, it is commendable that the book's author speaks for the wronged Black people who suffered during this time era.
The dead remember our silence.
The author of the book chose to speak for them.
Now, on to your review.
Everything you stated is spot on.
The basis for America's cruel continued racism against her Black citizens did originate during slavery, and still continues well into the 21ST Century. It will never go away, so deeply ingrained is race hatred against Black Americans, who have been the true conscience of this hateful country.
To "S. McCrea", who commented that the North had very few Blacks, that is a damned lie. The North had many Black people....free Blacks, as well as enslaved Blacks. The North was home to Patty Cannon, a filthy female who with her family and cohorts, kidnapped free Blacks off the streets, and sold them into slavery; the North was the home of the vicious Irish lynch mobs of the New York Draft Riots during the Civil War; the North was home to rabid, sadistic lynch mob-race riots of East St. Louis, MO (1917) where "brave, stalwart" chivalrous white men murdered defenseless Black women, Black children, elderly Black men and women, Black iinvalids in wheelchairs; the great, lovely North was home to other massacres
against black people with the bloodthirsty racial massacre of defenseless Black
citizens by their fellow Irish Americans in the Chicago Race riot of
1919.
The North.
Oh, so kind and gentle....so "soft" to her
defenseles Black citizens.
Face facts, the North was a heathenish,
slutty, great Whore of Babylon against her Black citizens.
Just as
America still is against her Black citizens.
Where the South had de jure
segregation, the evil, hypocritical North had de facto segregation.
Both
types attacked, crushed, vilified, humiliated and slaughtered millions of Black
citizens all across this damned hypocrisy of a country. This rogue nation of
evil. This country founded and based on a lie.
As for this
comment:
"White" folks, to quote a black comedian, do not start everyday
with a conference call to coordinate tactics to keep the "black" man
down."
Whites do not have to coordinate a conference to "keep Black
people down".
They have had centuries of White Affirmative Action to do
that for them, the legacies of which still exist with us today.
To
"Thurdell Wycliff":
"I truly believe, much of this shameful action would
be reduced significantly, if only White America could or would ask for
forgiveness. It would be granted. "
Forgiveness must be earned, and
white-run America has never earned my forgiveness. And forgiveness is not
enough. Forgive whites for what.....so they can continue on with their
indifference to continued racial inequality in education, still segregated
housing, disparity in the criminal (in)justice sentencing? You have to earn MY
forgiveness, and white-run America has not earned the right to my forgiving
them, and all they still benefit from through unearned advantages.
There
is one main thing I will NEVER forgive white-run America for:
The mass
gangrapes committed by white slave masters, white slave overseers, white male
visitors to plantations against defenseless enslaved Black women and
girls.
I will NEVER forgive white men, especially those walking around
now, like the living pieces of human excrement that they are, who during Jane
Crow segregation committed the many rapes against defenseless Black women and
girls, many of whom became pregnant due to white male racist/sexist
hatred.
I will NEVER forgive for that.
And that is one aspect of
slavery/segregation that many white people, especially white men, will NEVER
have the backbone or balls to own up to.

Conservatives: Give This Man A Medal!
Let me see, if you have a person interrupt the President of The United States by heckling him and you people in the conservative movement think this is a badge of honor, then you're an idiot. This has to be the one of the most ridiculous things to endorse! This idiot Neil Munro should be condemned for making himself the news!
Wow!
This disrespect of the president has me thinking! This reporter once brought up the controversy of Common being invited to the White House by First Lady Michelle Obama.
It only gets better, the Libertarian comedian Bill Maher has acknowledged the cause of racial animosity by White voters. Maher is pointing the finger at Matt Drudge.
The Republicans and their nominee Mitt Romney, endorse The Drudge Report and its sensational stories such as the outburst from Munro.

The Daily Caller Shows Out When The President Speaks!
The Daily Caller reporter Neil Munro heckled the president when he made a public statement on an issue that's going to be a political landmine in the 2012 U.S. Presidential Elections. |
And it's once again raising the flag of how the Republicans are going to play to its extremist wing once again to win this election. They're going to force former governor Mitt Romney to abandon his message of the economy and focus on issues that draw wedges between groups.
This is what the conservative movement is! A bunch of angry White men who feed on reactionary bigotry of the president, someone's race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, language, political and economic standings.
Tucker Carlson's news agitation website The Daily Caller has no respect for the office and they should lose their press pass for the outburst caused by one of their members.
The Daily Caller is also getting heavy scrutiny after this latest incident. Some media analysis think that this outburst will render consequences with the president and the press pool.
Me personally I feel that every freaking day from reading stories off The Drudge Report, to Rush Limbaugh calling the president, "Kim Kardashian" to Sean Hannity interviewing Amber Lee Ettinger (aka Obama Girl) over her frustrations with politics and President Barack Obama. These are the driving forces to why I believe conservatives are bigots. White conservative males provoke the Black community, disrespect the president and channel their outrage of minorities on hate websites.
They are fucking bigots. They have no respect towards anyone other than their extremist friends. They are going to push the bar even lower when it comes to dog whistling White voters to oppose the president.
The president used his executive order to advocate the U.S. Justice Department and Department of Homeland Security to advert their resources to immigrants that commit crimes. The immigrants that live and work in the United States that haven't committed crimes are going to be waivered by applying for temporary workplace legislation.
This has the conservative base riled up once again! They were just getting over the fact the president endorse gay marriage. The Republicans are witch hunting the president over leaks in national security and failed the gun running operation known as Fast & Furious.
This incident has riled me up! The President of The United States is to be respected when he makes his statements to the American people. What The Daily Caller and conservatives done was make me likely to support the president over the Republican nominee.
I mean has there ever been any progressive person that disrespectful to President George W. Bush?
I guess faux conservative Stephen Colbert comes to mind, but he was a guest at the National Correspondent's Dinner.
I guess that Iraqi journalist who threw his shoes at former president George W. Bush.
At least President Barack Obama didn't get shoes thrown at him yet!
Now onto the controversy.
OutsideTheBeltway has the obtained portions of the exchange between the heckler and the president.
While announcing a new change in immigration policy, The DC’s Neil Munro yelled, “Why’d you favor foreigners over Americans?”
“Excuse me, sir, but it’s not time for questions,” Obama said.
“Are you going to take questions?” Munro asked.
“Not while I’m speaking.” Obama said.
Tucker Carlson, the editor of the Daily Caller, did not immediately respond to a request for comment, though he confirmed the news via Twitter.
“Yes, that was TheDC’s Neil Munro who dared question the president in the Rose Garden,” he wrote.
“Everyone’s defying precedent today, it seems.”
This incident reflects on how the media has sunk to the bottom of the barrel for attention. The Daily Caller will get repercussions after this one. The press pool will now have stricter rules to how they address the president when he makes a statement. Reporters could lose their press passes when incidents like this happen.

Rihanna Sparks Bitter Feud Between Hip-Hop Singers!
Chris Brown, Rihanna and Drake are feuding with one another. Apparently Chris Brown got into it with Drake over a subliminal rap verse that address the 2009 domestic violence incident. |
Brown was arrested on domestic violence charges after he punched Barbadian pop singer Rihanna (born Robyn Fenty) after they got into a heated argument before the Grammy's.
Brown was told not to be near the pop singer at any appearances. He was given probation and was told to do community service for the next five years. Chris Brown does have a temper. Brown lashed at Robin Roberts after she asked him how he's overcame the scandal that nearly cost him his career. Brown blames the media for focusing on him for his transgressions and not troubled celebrities Lindsay Lohan and Charlie Sheen. Hate to break it to you, Chris! They are focused on them just as much and they probably throw you into their excuses as well.
Rihanna has been a controversial figure for some time now! Her lifestyle has always been questioned by those in the media as well. From smoking a huge blunt with rappers Snoop Dogg and Warren G, to near boob slips, many are starting to wonder if her actions speak louder when there's publicity. Many have criticized the pop singer for some of her reckless decisions. One in particular raised eyebrows is the release of her single Birthday, featuring Chris Brown. This is the first collaboration from both parties since the incident in 2009.
The pop singer has dated many other men after Chris Brown and one in particular is an actor/singer/rapper who noteworthy of being just as great as those such as Jay-Z, Eminem, KRS-One and Nas.
The Canadian born rapper signed to Cash Money Records under fellow rapper Lil' Wayne's Young Money label. After three years of playing the character Jimmy in teen drama DeGrassi, Aubrey Graham (known as Drake) has been a major fixture in the hip-hop industry.
Although Chris Brown and Drake were cordial as entertainers, behind the scenes there was probably tension between them after reports of the rapper dating Rihanna since the break up with Brown.
Singer and rapper Drake has apparently got into it with fellow singer Chris Brown.
According to the SOHH.com, the rapper was in New York City with his entourage got into it with Brown's entourage. This all comes weeks after Brown and Drake sent subliminal messages at one another over ex-love interest Rihanna.
Meek Mill, an upcoming rapper from Philadelphia was allegedly throwing a bottle at Chris Brown. His representatives denied the claim.
Both Brown and Meek Mill (born Robert Williams) have criminal records and if the reports turn out that they were the agitators of this conflict, they'll be going to prison for violating probation.
Brown rushed to Twitter to address the controversy and slam Drake and Meek Mill. He scrubbed the comments and lawyered up after his Tweets hit the mainstream media.
Drake told Associated Press that he was leaving the nightclub when a fight erupted between Chris Brown and other party goers: "A statement released Thursday says that Drake did not engage in activity that resulted in injury to a person or property."
Now it's been a while since I done stories about hip-hop music. Today, I point this story out for a reason.
The hip-hop industry isn't doing as well as one thought. Many rappers are hanging up the microphones for a script and a gig as a movie actor or television star. Will Smith, LL Cool J, Queen Latifah, Ice-T, Mark Wahlberg, Scott Caan, Ice Cube, and Jamie Foxx come to mind as rappers and singers who became successful actors.
Chris Brown and Drake are very popular artists. Women love them. Despite their behavior in public, people will rush out and download or purchase the latest single from the respective singers.
This incident is under investigation and its likely someone's going to pay for the damages.

When Blacks Become A Majority Of The Country's Population, Then It's Safe To Say Blacks Are Racists!
The country's majority is predominately White. The non-Hispanic White person make up 75% the United States population. But yet in the mind of the conservative White male, anyone who doesn't share their bigoted views of a person's race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, language, economic and political standings are the real racist.
Go to your comments sections of these news agitation websites. It's the same old word salad of the angry, reactionary, condescending, overreaching, bigotry masquerading as patriotism.
I usually hit hard when I criticized these extremists. They want to call me a "liberal racist" who worships the ground of "brotha" Barack Obama.
I don't care no more! They don't know me personally, so it doesn't bother me at all!
When Blacks become the majority of the population in the United States, then you can say that's racist.
When a White person is racially profiled, denied housing because of redlining, attacked for being on government assistance such as welfare and food stamps, then you can call Blacks racist!
Find a Black person who creates hundreds of websites devoted to trashing White people.
If you find a Black person fixated on crime statistics based on racial attacks, let me know!
Nothing better than a White conservative male trying to defend the reactionary bigotry of his fellow brethen.
Come on people!
There's hundreds of websites devoted to trashing Black people, President Barack Obama and other minorities. They're created by angry White conservatives who parade themselves as patriots. Under this patriotism, they feel that their country is going down the toilet because of Black people ruining the country with handouts and social injustice.
I haven't seen a Black person obsessing over crime statistics like that "professional bigot" John Derbyshire or those reactionary bigots who want to make a combative argument over race. They justify an injustice by saying "oh, there's more Black on White crime" and "you people" need to stop bothering us about Trayvon Martin, Henry "Skip" Gates, and racial profiling! Who is so fixated on attacking Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton because they help a victim seek justice from a tragedy?
It's not worth my time to argue with idiots! The keyboard warrior has to be older than me, stuck in their ways! The warrior has to be a White male and probably a conservative that harbors bigoted views towards someone's race gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, language, political or economic standings.
So when you find that racist, look in the mirror! It's likely (the White conservative male) and not the majority of this country.
Hispanics have long complained about the injustices with racial profiling and deportation of family members who aren't residents of the United States.
In a play to win over Asian and Hispanic votes, the president has made a move that might give the Hispanics a little more enthusiasm. The Republicans oppose the DREAM Act and amnesty for immigrants.
I am assuming that the conservatives and presidential candidate Mitt Romney are going to pounce on the controversial move. And yes, it's gotten buzz on the conservative agitating website The Drudge Report.
Here's a clip from the 1980s sitcom The Jeffersons, Sherman Hemsley (known as George Jefferson) get into a heated argument with a White person who holds bigoted views towards Blacks.

Conflict Between The Three Stooges Of The Morning News!
Alisyn Camerota, Steve Doocy, Gretchen Carlson and Brian Kilmeade are the hosts of the network's morning program. Each morning a |
This is going to have Brian Kilmeade in trouble again!
Gretchen Carlson, Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade have been on Fox News for quite sometime. They've been pushing the bar lower ever since their report of Barack Obama attending a radical Islamic "madrassa" while he was a child.
This comment sparked the conflict between Carlson and Kilmeade: “Women are everywhere. We’re letting them play golf and tennis now. It’s out of control.”
This would prove the Democratic Party's point of how Fox News echos the Republican Party. The war on women is a real issue and it has consquences.
The network has been harshly criticizing First Lady Michelle Obama, Dr. Jill Biden, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Sandra Fluke, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-California), Democratic Party chief Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Florida) and women who support the Democratic Party or its progressive allies. They run negative stories about them and to defend the agitators who were sexist towards them.
Former Alaskan governor Sarah Palin, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota), S.E. Cupp, Michelle Malkin, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Laura Ingraham, Ann Coulter and even Gretchen Carlson have been criticized by progressive and conservative agitators as well.

Why It's More Turd Flipping From Michelle Malkin and Sean Hannity!
These right wing morons continue to whine about President Barack Obama. Michelle Malkin and Sean Hannity are suffering from a serious case of Obama Derangement Syndrome. |
Once again what does Sean Hannity and Michelle Malkin know about civility?
NOT A DAMN THING!
Along with that foolish Juan Williams, Sean Hannity and Michelle Malkin were gleeful about the Republicans plan to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt for allegedly not releasing documents in regards to the botched gun running operation known as Fast & Furious.
The Republicans are witch hunting President Barack Obama over this and alleged leaks of national security.
The Republicans complain that the Obama Administration leaks out national security secrets in order to prop up his effective strategy to take on international foes such as al-Qaeda, a conservative Sunni Islamic militant group.
Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas) and Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) have both came out in favor of the Attorney General to step down.
Attorney General Eric Holder refuses to step down as of right now! But we'll see in the coming months.
Anyways a Republican committee led by Congressman Darrell Issa (R-California) are planning to hold a vote on contempt. This has gotten a lot of conservatives praising the Republicans for planning this.
The Democratic Party and its allies in the progressive movement have pointed out the constant obstruction of Congress and the ridiculous witch hunts led by the Republican majority in the House of Representatives.
Congress approval rating according to Gallup, is about 15%. A slight improvement after hovering around the single digits. Republicans are slated to take back the U.S. Senate and maintain a slim majority in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Sean Hannity and Michelle Malkin are two of the most agitating assholes in the media. Malkin is a conservative blogger and activist who is getting a lot of equal time on Fox News. She is practically banned from most news channels. Her combative behavior has been a trademark of hers for sometime now! And now it's gone beyond the pale of just being angry, it's now becoming more like she's a freaking fruitcake!
As a woman of color, she maintains the notion that minorities shouldn't be afraid to speak out against those who hold them back! Being a woman of color, gives Fox News an opportunity to say that it's equal time for woman and minorities. Even though she's a conservative, she's a woman and a minority.
Malkin claims the advantage of being a major contributor to conservative causes, by her 3 million readers and followers.
Juan Williams, a Black conservative activist who masquerades himself as the liberal voice on Fox News. |
Hannity relishes in conflict and wants to bring up the old battles of the 2008 U.S. Presidential Elections to prove his point. When he can't use Jeremiah Wright or Bill Ayers, he'll rehash the Democratic primaries that resulted in a minor feud between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. He'll one day attack Bill Clinton for sex scandals but yet praises him for criticizing the president's policies.
Hannity has no value in his programs. The only accomplishments from him is his loyalty to Republicans and its conservative allies. He is their go-to-guy when a candidate needs some airtime or a controversial figure seeks redemption after a scandal.
Juan Williams is a conservative Black activist who parades himself a liberal commentator. When he's not filling in for Bill O'Reilly, he's on Sean Hannity's show either attacking the president over the most trivial things that happen to fall upon his administration. Williams often criticized the First Lady of The United States by labeling her a Black Panther activist and attack her campaign to end obesity. Williams was fired from NPR after he made an outrageous comment about profiling Muslim men. Williams called upon his fellow conservative brethren to help him seek revenge on the public radio network. Republicans have long claimed that NPR has a liberal bias and they seek to defund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
There's nothing more they offer. They shake their fingers and eye roll! They attack the president and Attorney General Eric Holder. They shout! They rile up the conservatives.
Juan Williams managed to dig Michelle Malkin by claiming he's a reporter not a blogger!

Tragedy At Auburn University!
Heavily tattooed shooting suspect Desmonte Leonard. |
We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to those lost this senseless shooting at Auburn University. We want the family to understand that justice against Desmonte Leonard is rightly so. This person's reckless behavior caused the death of three people. He should pay for this tragedy. It's bad enough he's a dead beat parent, but a murderer is beyond the pale.

Suspect in Auburn fatal shooting has court record By BOB JOHNSON, Associated Press
AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — The man suspected in a weekend party shooting that killed three people and wounded three others was previously arrested on charges involving guns and twice sued for child support, according to court records.
Authorities were searching Monday for Desmonte Leonard, 22, of Montgomery, who is accused of opening fire Saturday night at an apartment complex near Auburn University after getting into a fight with some of the victims over a woman. He faces three counts of capital murder.
Ladarious Phillips and Ed Christian were killed after a fight ensued between suspect Desmonte Leonard and others attending a party off campus. This incident devastated the Auburn community. |
Auburn Police Chief Tommy Dawson said Leonard fled the scene in a white Chevrolet that he abandoned on the way back to Montgomery, about 55 miles away. They believed he was in the Montgomery area.
Court records show Montgomery police arrested Leonard in 2008 on a charge of carrying a pistol without a license, after stopping a suspected stolen vehicle and finding him inside. Documents available online didn't show whether the case was ever resolved, but Leonard was freed on bond within days.
Leonard was charged in 2009 with assault after allegedly shooting a man in the groin, but prosecutors dropped the case after the victim told authorities Leonard wasn't the shooter.
A Montgomery woman filed a paternity suit against Leonard on Friday that identified him as the father of a girl who turned 1 last month.
Another woman sued him in 2009 seeking unpaid child support for a girl who is now 4. A court ordered monthly payments of $305 by Leonard, who records show was working at a Walmart store at the time.
Auburn police said the weekend shootings didn't appear to have anything to do with some of the victims being former or current players on the football team, which won the national championship in 2010.
"The only connection that the Auburn football team has to this is they are victims of a brutal shooting.
Sometimes the young men get a bad rap, I feel like, but they are the victims today," Dawson said.
Of the three wounded victims, John Robertson remained in critical condition after being shot in the head.
Xavier Moss was released from the hospital. The third wounded victim was Eric Mack, a current football player who is expected to recover.
Slain were Edward Christian, who had to quit the team because of a lingering back injury, and Ladarious Phillips, who had previously quit playing football. The other person killed was 20-year-old Demario Pitts.
Mugshot of shooting victim Demario Pitts. |
Dawson said he did not know why the party was being held or what started the fight.
Turquorius Vines, 23, said he was at the party Saturday evening at the University Heights apartments with one of his friend, Pitts. He said he and his friend were approached by two other men who started arguing with them over a woman.
Vines said he punched one of the men, while Pitts hit both of the men over the head with a bottle. Either one or both of the two men then started shooting, he said. He said Pitts was shot and killed, while two others also were hit by gunfire. Vines said he had never met the men he was arguing with.
"It's like I lost a lung," Vines said of losing his friend. "I don't know how I'm going to survive this."
Several emergency vehicles converged overnight around the University Heights apartment complex where many students live. The building was swathed in yellow police tape.
The apartment complex was the scene of another shooting in April.
In that shooting, a man armed with an assault rifle allegedly opened fire on a police tactical team as officers carried out a search warrant. No one was hurt, but officer seized weapons, cash and a pound of marijuana.
Police identified the alleged shooter in the April gunfire as a 21-year-old man, who was charged with four counts of attempted murder and drug possession. Three other men were arrested on drug charges.
Mack, the player wounded in Saturday's shooting, is a junior offensive lineman from St. Matthews, S.C. He played in five games last season. Coach Gene Chizik said Mack was expected to recover.

Al Sharpton And Newt Gingrich Clash Over Obama "Food Stamp President" Comment!
Two former presidential candidates spar over a politically and racially charged attack on President Barack Obama. |
That didn't sit well with many in the Black community. Some including myself echoed the tone of rhetoric from the Republican candidates. They were playing to the extremist wing of the Republican Party. It's a coded dog whistle to say that "those people are stealing from hard-working Whites by staying on food stamps and welfare! [Newt Gingrich] wants to transition [Blacks] out of that!"
They've written a chapter in the book and it's ongoing! The goal of the Republican Party is to defeat President Barack Obama. They don't care how many achievements! They know that if they can appeal to pessimistic White voters, they can manage to win back the White House and the Congress.
To tear President Barack Obama down through his handling of the economy and the policies that jeopardize the principles of conservatism.
Rick Perry, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul and Rick Santorum were called out by the Black community as chief agitators of the Black community.
Newt Gingrich has maintained this strategy to beat Mitt Romney by trying to sabotage the candidate. Now that's over and Gingrich is embracing the inconsistent Republican nominee in waiting! This Republican who will face off the president in the general election. Gingrich reluctantly throws his support to Mitt Romney.
Now on MSNBC, the Reverend Al Shapton has maintained that the conservatives will manage to steal this election if they can rile up White voters. This led to a heated clash between old friends!
Gingrich knows Sharpton personally and actually likes him. They both disagree on the politics, but they've worked together to make things work. It's a shame though, that this is never acknowledged.
A liberal and conservative can actually get along when the cameras are off.
Despite all the negativity coming from politics, I am assured that our country will be fine! The ney-sayers will try to distract the public with fears of the unknown. I think in the present.
Since I don't fear the future, I would be criticized by these keyboard warriors screaming online about how I am such an Obama Zombie. They'll think I am someone who's stuck on race every time I mention something that points out how the Republican Party and its allies in the conservative movement throw the kitchen sink and pipe fixtures at the president.

The Victim Of The Face Eating Incident Speaks! [NSFW]
Ron Poppo is known to the world as the man who lost his face. This was a mugshot of the victim. The incident last month introduced the world to the tragedies of ingesting synthetic drugs called bath salts. Rudy Eugene attacked and ripped Poppo's face off. Poppo was a homeless man. |
Florida is the place where sensationalism is a badge of honor. From a lunatic governor Rick Scott, to Casey Anthony! Debra LaFave to Lionel Tate! George Zimmerman to now Rudy Eugene!
The governor of Florida, won in 2010. Began his term in 2011. Rick Scott is already under fire for legislation that could force low income and unemployed to have mandatory drug testing for worker's assistance. The governor is trying to purge low income and minority voters off the ballots to prevent them from voting in the 2012 U.S. presidential elections. Forced to hire a special prosecutor after an incident in Sanford, Florida allowed a man to walk free after he shoots and kills an unarmed teenager.
Casey Anthony was found innocent in the murder of her two year old child, Caylee Anthony. Spent nearly two years in prison and was released after the trial. Casey Anthony is on probation from a previous charge. She is in hiding after receiving death threats from deranged citizens who felt the verdict was unfair.
Debra LaFave was an attractive teacher who had multiple affairs with some of her students. Was granted probation and registered as a sexual offender.
Lionel Tate was then a young teenager accused of murdering a young child. He was sent to prison for life. After a plea bargain he was released after six years in prison. But three years later, he was arrested after a robbery in which he was involved. He was sentenced to spend 40 years in prison.
Notice that Casey Anthony and Debra LaFave were white women. Lionel Tate is Black. The governor is a White man who is a Republican.
Racial incidents and tragedies such as those mentioned are common in Florida.
Conservatives and white supremacists are trying to work themselves into ulcers about the latest wacky incident that involves Black men.
Rudy Eugene was shot and killed after he attacked a homeless man |
The bath salts that Eugene ingested caused him to strip his clothes, attack Poppo and eventually lead to him ripping and eating his face.
Once that story hit the internet, it went viral.
Conservatives and white supremacists were rushing to the internet to find the suspect. Once they've seen it was a Black man and the victim was White, they've hit the jackpot! They are trying to justify the incident as another one of those "Black on White" incidents in which a "thug" attacks (and then eats) white people.
Rudy Eugene was dubbed the "Miami Zombie" by the international media. Even snide conservatives wanted to paint this as one of [Obama's] sons.
They're still riled up about the Trayvon Martin controversy. The people in the state lead massive protests in which it led to the arrest of George Zimmerman, a white man who was charged with murder.
Now I lead to the pictures and the video. Once again, this is not safe for work. You've been warned!

The family of Rudy Eugene were saddened by the incident and urged the media to pray for them and the victim of this incident. They deny that Eugene was a drug user who does things like this! They've believe that someone tainted something he ingested.
Rudy Eugene was shot and killed by the Miami-Dade police after he refused orders to cease attacking the man. This incident also calls into question: Why didn't the Miami-Dade Police use a taser or bean bag pellets to restrain him?
A bit of relief comes from the coroner's report says that Eugene had no human flesh inside his stomach.
According to the Huffington Post, doctors say the homeless Miami man whose face was mostly chewed off by a naked assailant is awake and alert and doing "well", but in need of more surgery.
Jackson Memorial Hospital released two photos of 65-year-old Ronald Poppo with his permission on Tuesday afternoon, one showing him walking down a corridor assisted on either side by a hospital worker.
The other gives a recent look at Poppo's horrific injuries, roughly 3 and a half weeks after the shocking assault on Miami's MacArthur causeway: one of his eyes is covered by gauze, the other, lost to the attack, is covered by skin. Poppo's nose is missing, and his forehead is a mass of scabs.
The lower half of Poppo's face, roughly from mustache down, appears intact. Doctors said approximately 50 percent of his face was missing, and that the "extremely charming" Poppo remembers the attack, understands that he is in hospital, and is aware of media coverage.
"He's pleased to report to all of you that he's feeling well, he's eating, he's walking around with physical therapy, he's talking with us," said University of Miami trauma surgeon Nicholas Namias, co-director of JMH's Ryder Trauma Center. "He's had quite a bit of surgery already."
Plastic surgeon Dr. Wrood Kassira said the medical team's primary goal to date has been to clean and close Poppo's wounds, but her patient has had a "logical" response to conversations about reconstructive surgery.
"We have mental health professionals to help him with the coping, and he's coping remarkably well," she said.
"The guy has got to be a survivor," Namias said, according to Local10. "Living on Watson Island for all these years, I think he's got to be a survivor, and I think he's become very pragmatic about life. On any given day, he's living in the moment."
Poppo, who is believed to have been homeless in Miami since the mid-to-late 1970s, is covered by Medicare and Medicaid, officials said. A fund set up by the hospital foundation to assist Poppo (details below) has so far raised $15,000.
"It's amazing," Namias said of Poppo. "He's an extremely charming man. You talk to him, he's very upbeat, he's very pleasant, he hasn't said one thing negative to me. Every time I ask him how he's doing, he says he's doing fine."
The AP reports Poppo, who requests Italian food and can't wait to go swimming, has asked that the television in his room be turned off except to follow Miami Heat games.
"I kid you not, he wanted to talk about the NBA Finals," Namias said. "He asked me if I'd be watching the game tonight, and told me, 'Go Heat.'"
We here at Journal De La Reyna wish Ron Poppo a speedy recovery and hope the best for him. Although this is a tragedy and will become a life changing experience, we can only hope that he can survive his new destiny.

More Bad News For George Zimmerman!
According to Black Voices/Huffington Post, the wife of George Zimmerman was arrested.
Shellie Zimmerman was arrested on perjury charges. After a few months of hiding, the Seminole County Sheriff has arrested her after she told the judge preceding over the bond hearing that she and her husband couldn't afford a high bond. The judge granted George Zimmerman a $150,000 bond on a 10% insurance.
Her mugshot is now public.
This case is going to be more controversial now that Zimmerman and his wife have both lied to the judge. It is likely George Zimmerman's going to have an unfair trial against him.
In February 2012, George Zimmerman, a volunteer neighborhood watch member shot and killed Trayvon Martin. The unarmed teenager was staying in his father's apartment in a gated community near the city of Sanford, Florida. The two got into a physical altercation, and Zimmerman fired his gun at Martin killing him. Zimmerman claimed it was self-defense, and the Sanford Police allowed him to walk. This set off a firestorm of protest and led the state governor Rick Scott to have an independent prosecutor investigated the case.
The prosecutor has found that Zimmerman should be charged with second-degree murder. The charge carries a mandatory life sentence. The federal law enforcement is also investigating if there could be a hate crime involvement. The Sanford Police is also under federal investigation for negligence in many cases.
This controversy touched off a national discussion about racial profiling and promoting vigilante justice with firearms. President Barack Obama spoke on the tragedy noting that he grieves with the family of Martin and wants the U.S. Justice Department and local law enforcement to handle the matter.
The charges stem from what prosecutors have described as a series of lies and distortions made by the couple during an earlier bond hearing in April, when George Zimmerman and his family claimed they were broke. By late Tuesday afternoon, Shellie Zimmerman posted bond, set at $1,000.
The donations obtained by George Zimmerman are over $200,000.
We here at Journal De La Reyna believe in justice and a fair trial. George Zimmerman deserves a fair trial. George Zimmerman should be detained until his court hearing. We want to see this young man tried and convicted in the murder of Trayvon Martin.
