Not On Black Wall Street!

Tulsa street named after a controversial figure.

The Associated Press reports that the city of Tulsa is considering renaming a street after they've gotten word of a namesake's controversial history.

Tulsa city councilors were expected to decide Thursday whether to rename a popular downtown street tied to a city founder who was involved with the Ku Klux Klan and possibly tied to a 1921 race riot in which hundreds of blacks were killed.

Before considering changing Brady Street's name at its Thursday night meeting, City Hall invited those who own property along the street to tell the City Council where they stand.

The street's namesake, Wyatt Tate Brady, was a shoe salesman who became a prominent Tulsa businessman. He signed the city's incorporation papers, started a newspaper and pumped his wealth into promoting Tulsa to the rest of the country.

But Brady, the son of a Confederate veteran, was also a member of the Klan. New questions arose after a magazine article looked at whether he was involved in the most notorious event in Tulsa history: a 1921 race riot that left some 300 black residents dead.

Thursday night's vote will be on whether to change Brady Street's name to Burlington Street – reflecting a recently discovered 1907 document on which someone crossed out Burlington Street and wrote Brady Street in its place.

Today, Brady Street cuts through the heart of the Brady Arts District, a glitzy downtown area that represents arguably the most successful redevelopment project the city has ever pursued.

Boarded-up warehouses, overgrown lots and blight have been replaced with trendy bistros, a cigar bar and a museum and park honoring Dust Bowl music legend Woody Guthrie, who grew up in Okemah, about 50 miles south.

Supporters have been lobbying for the name change since 2011, when an article in the literary magazine This Land said Brady created an environment of racism that led to the 1921 riot that decimated a thriving district that historians have called Black Wall Street.

Those who want to leave the name alone, including Mayor Dewey Bartlett and a contingent of the Brady district's business owners, fear that changing one name could lead to a revisionist look into the pasts of other notable residents who have parks, buildings and streets named after them too.

The Tupac Legacy!

Entertainer death occurred on September 13, 1996.

At often times I would reflect on the lives of entertainers we've lost. I reflect on where I was and how I reacted to the death of someone you've come to recognize! And even though you've never met that entertainer, you felt like the entertainer was a friend or family member.

I was only 15 years old at the time when I've heard of his death.

I remember I was in the marching band during a high school football game. A lot of hearsay was coming from members of the band saying they've heard that Tupac was shot. At the beginning I didn't believe it.

We all knew that 'Pac would get shot and he would be out the next day. Somehow that was just fantasy.

He was shot on September 7, 1996 on the Las Vegas strip. They put him in a medically induced coma and would later die on September 13, 1996.

It would spawn the conspiracies that Shakur would be hiding somewhere waiting to drop another dope album.

After all he took on the Makaveli moniker during his final years as an entertainer.

Tupac Shakur survived a near fatal shooting in 1994. He fingered many New York based rappers for the attempted murder. He singled out Christopher Wallace, aka The Notorious B.I.G..

When people got the word that he would die of his injuries, people were actually crying in sorrow. His death shocked the nation. A man who told tales of the Black community while even questioning those who lead in it, was dead at the age of 25.

It made it clear that if you're a Black or Latino man and you've lived pass 25, it's considered an accomplishment. Many young men growing up in poorer neighborhoods never get to see their 25th birthday if they associate with the elements of NIGGER.

Tupac Amuru Shakur was one of the most famous and yet controversial entertainers. He was probably one of your favorite rappers.

I know I was a fan of the often brash and yet poetic rapper who told tales of the life as a NIGGA. He gave America the real definition of being a thug. A thug with a heart.

A rapper who knew how to make alot friends and a money. A rapper who made a lot of enemies.

A rapper who inspired others to enter the booth and rap a verse.

Without Tupac Shakur, you wouldn't have entertainers like Eminem, Ludacris, The Game, Kanye West, 50 Cent, Kendrick Lamar, Gucci Mane, Waka Flocka Flame, Nelly, Drake, Future, Rick Ross, Lil' Wayne, and Nicki Minaj.

2Pac and briefly as Makaveli, was an American rapper and actor.

Shakur has sold over 75 million albums worldwide as of 2010, making him one of the best-selling music artists in the world. MTV ranked him at number two on their list of The Greatest MCs of All Time and Rolling Stone named him the 86th Greatest Artist of All Time.

His double disc album All Eyez on Me is one of the best selling hip hop albums of all time.

Shakur began his career as a roadie, backup dancer, and MC for the alternative hip hop group Digital Underground, eventually branching off as a solo artist. The themes of most of Shakur's songs revolved around the violence and hardship in inner cities, racism and other social problems. Both of his parents and several other of his family were members of the Black Panther Party, whose ideals were reflected in his songs.

During the latter part of his career, Shakur was a vocal participant in the so-called East Coast–West Coast hip hop rivalry, becoming involved in conflicts with other rappers, producers and record-label staff members, most notably The Notorious B.I.G. and his label Bad Boy Records.

On September 7, 1996, Shakur was shot multiple times in a drive-by shooting at the intersection of Flamingo Road and Koval Lane in Las Vegas, Nevada. He would later die of his injuries on September 13, 1996.

He was the stable of the rap label Death Row Records. The lost him spelled the end of the record label.

His murder will continue to be an open case.

We'll miss ya 'Pac.

I'll pour a lil' liquor in your name!

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to those who were lost in gun violence.

Ohio Deadbeat Dad Goes To Iron College After TV Judge Appearance!

Daddy dearest.

An Ohio man spawned 27 children is going to be facing a judge and possible time in the iron college.

Is Oxygen going to give this man and his children a "reality television" show like Shawty Lo?

He's probably got the Duggards passed by seven.

Oh of course, if this happens to reach That Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall's website, it's about to be a word vomit of NIGGER and his NIGLETS. They'll probably be mentions of President Barack Obama and references to a ZOO or a bunch of MONKEYS.

This is what a White conservative extremist thinks of this type of person and his family.

Nathaniel Smith is the "worst father of the decade" for bailing out on the numerous family he's created.

He's got the taxpayer's expense in the Montgomery County Ohio lock up after he appeared on the Fox syndicated television show Divorce Court.

This man has 12 sons and 15 daughters by at least 17 women and he's 39 years old. So that means he's got children probably in their 20s at the time he reaches 40.

Yeah, he's a grandfather at 39. His oldest child had a child and his youngest child is about a year old.

He was a featured player on the show Divorce Court is hosted by former Cleveland family court judge Lynn Toler. Toler, a mother herself was astounded by the callous actions of this asshole and how many women he's slept with to have this many children. Most of the women he's messed with are knot-headed 18 - 29 year olds. Some are probably biracial seeing that he's messed with White, Hispanic and Black women.

Dayton Daily News reports that Smith, who hopes to get a reality show, said his estranged wife Jasmine Cotton has been contacted by two TV talk shows since the episode aired.

A poet and performer who goes by the stage names of Brave Nate, FlexLuthor and Hustle Simmons, Smith says he is a “full-time parent” and sees at least one or two of his children nearly everyday. Some do not received all the attention they need, but Smith says he does his best.

“If I am absent, it is because the moms (are) keeping them away,” Smith said. “I am not a danger to my kids.

I am not in the streets. I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. I don’t do none of that.”

The show Smith and Cotton appeared on was taped in June. Smith said he contacted the show hoping it could help with his divorce. Instead, the show compensated he and Cotton $570 each and paid for their flights to the taping and their hotel rooms.

Smith faced strong words from TV judge Lynn Toler. He denied preying on young women, which Cotton and Toler accused him of doing.

His wife is 23. Smith said the majority of his children’s mothers are at least 28 years old.

He said he has custody of two of the children and is currently trying to get custody of another. All said he says he is in contact with all but five of his children and has 21 child support orders.

Smith wouldn’t reveal how much money he owes in child support or say how much he pays monthly.

He said those amounts are of no one’s concern.

Child support information is not available for public inspection.

Smith said many people in Dayton knew he fathered several children before the show aired.

“With me, it really wasn’t a big deal because I know of people who have even more than me,” he said. “The difference is I take care of mine or at least attempt to.”

He said he personally knows two people with as many children as he has and one person with 40 children.

He said his attorney told him of two fathers with more than 60 and more than 70 children.

Smith’s oldest child is 21 years old and is a mother. His youngest is almost a year old.

He knew his Divorce Court appearance would create a splash, but he didn’t know the reactions would be so condemning, smith said.

“To judge me? I read somethings on the website that were like, “wow.” People say I need to be in jail. If I were to go to jail, what about my kids …, what about them?” the Patterson Co-Op High School graduate asked. “People are going to be people. They get someone who has abortions all the time and they give them the thumbs up.”

He said he would be alarmed if one of his daughters introduced him to a boyfriend with several children, but he said he wouldn’t judge the person without getting to know that person’s intentions.

Smith said he has always been popular and his personality has helped attract the opposite sex.

“I am no different from a football player in college or high school,” he said. “They are coming at you.”

Before losing his barbershop a decade ago and his barber license around 2006, Smith said he had plenty of money. In recent years, his children’s mothers have contributed more.

“They had to step up. Nobody is missing a beat. I don’t have no poor looking kids,” Smith said. “I am blessed is all I’ve got to say. If I was to die today, doesn’t mean they are going to go without. Everything is going to be fine whether I am in their lives or not.”

He said he loves his children and would not change a thing if making that change would mean a single one would not be born.

“What is done is done,” he said. “One thing I would change is different moms.”

Ann Coulter: Putin Gave A Banana To That "Monkey" Obama!

Yeah, it's desperation from the right wing.

The potential for a crisis is adverted. And the same ankle bitters for war are now bitching about the Russian president's diplomatic options to end the conflict between the United States and Syria.

The "America First" crowd can't get it through their heads that America's influence was ruined after we went to war on the notion that Afghanistan was harboring a terrorist and Iraq was harboring weapons of mass destruction.

The "America First" crowd can't see no right with the Black president. Every move whether going to strike or taking a diplomatic solution by allowing the United Nations take hold of the chemical weapons is a sign of "weakness".

This is what drove that blonde moronic woman to say that Russian Federation president Vladimir Putin is "monkeying" around with President Barack Obama.

So in other words, this blonde moronic horseface woman called the president a "monkey".

That's not what the conservative agitator said, but she's damn close to saying what most people on the racist right think. To have the first Black president disrespected by the likes of that shrew ignorance, it's unbelievable.

To think that last year, she would dare call the president a "retard" because he lost in the debate against that perennial loser Mitt Romney.

Horseface Ann Coulter flapping her jaws over at Loserville with That Guy Who Helped Obama Win.

She dare has the nerve to attack the president's handling of the crisis in Syria.

It's almost like the racist right is gleeful that Putin is "standing up" to President Barack Obama.

It's amazing that if you look at past presidents, Ronald Reagan was probably the "weakest" when it came to dealing with Russia (then the Soviet Union).

9/11 Benghazi!

We still keep our prayers for the ones lost on September 11, 2001 and 2012.

 
We will never forget the events of September 11, 2001 and 2012.

Many Americans working in service of their country made the ultimate sacrifice on that day.

We here at Journal de la Reyna show solidarity to those who lost their lives in New York City, Washington, D.C., Shanksville, Pennsylvania, and even the tragedy in Benghazi, Libya.

Ben Jealous Leaving NAACP!

NAACP president Benjamin Jealous is leaving the organization.

The head of the nation's civil rights group is leaving by the end of the month.

Benjamin Jealous is stepping down as the president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).

He wants to spend more time with his family.  He is the youngest ever national leader of the organization.

Under Jealous' lead, the NAACP has had a number of notable achievements during his tenure, including: registering 374,553 voters and mobilizing 1.2 million new and unlikely voters to turn out at the polls for the 2012 presidential election; leading the charge for Connecticut and Maryland to abolish the death penalty; endorsing marriage equality; and fighting laws the NAACP claims were intended for voter suppression in states across the country.


During Jealous’ tenure, the NAACP's online activists have increased from 175,000 to more than 675,000; its donors have increased from 16,000 individuals per year to more than 132,000; and the number of total NAACP activists has topped one million.

Jealous will step down as president of the NAACP at the end of December 2013 Jealous is married to Lia Epperson, a law professor at American University and a civil rights attorney.

He leaves behind a somewhat controversial history. I mean he was around during the whole Shirley Sherrod fiasco in 2010.  During a convention, Jealous stated that the Tea Party was the last elements of racism.

He slammed those ignorant Republicans like Tim Scott (the only Black U.S. Senator), Rand Paul, Palin Da Ass, and Glenn Beck as panderers of racism. He was completely right on that one.

It pissed off that agitator Andrew Breitbart. That agitator tried to get back at the NAACP by releasing a video of then U.S. Agriculture representative Shirley Sherrod talking about her experiences in the South.

Sherrod lost her father to the racial extremists who murdered him. She had some resentment towards White people at a time. As a community advisor, Sherrod was hoping to help save families from losing their homes.

She was dealing with a White family from the South who was on the verge of losing their home, changed her views.

So as she shared this experience, Breitbart took all the good parts out of the speech and put it together to make it seem like the NAACP was hosting a Black extremist and President Barack Obama allowed this person to be on the "gubmint" payroll.

The video was posted on the Breitbart websites and it was going to be on the Chalk E. Becker show.

President Barack Obama ordered Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack to send that woman packing.

The NAACP also overreacted to it too by issuing an apology.

Soon as the controversy was starting to built up. The truth came out.

The video was doctored, the controversy soon swung to the president overreacting and the media's rush to judgement. Also this fiasco left egg on the face of Andrew Breitbart. His credibility was ruined during that event.

He managed to rebuilt himself as the guy who took down Anthony Weiner, a Democratic congressman who texted his penis to women. Weiner was the only success that Breitbart had during his time as an agitator.

Weiner would later try to run for mayor only to be sent back to the cesspool he's created out of his arrogance.

Breitbart would later die of a heart attack in 2012.

Jealous and Breitbart were not the best of friends. The conservative agitator was trying to smear the NAACP and have Jealous fired.

Jealous also criticized the president. He believes the president has to throw a little more weight into the issues in the Black and Hispanic communities. The unemployment rates for Black and Hispanic workers is very high.

Jealous, Rev. Perm and the president spoke at the March On Washington rally last month.

He made it clear that Black America must speak up about issues such as unemployment, racial profiling and the U.S. Justice system (in regards to the George Zimmerman verdict).

Under his leadership, the NAACP endorsed the rights for gay couples to marry.

Syria: An American Affair!

Face off.

President Barack Obama is roundly facing opposition from the equals of the left and the right over this issue with Syria. The Middle Eastern country is in a huge civil war, and there's reports that chemical weapons were used on civilians. The president blames the Syrian government for the chemical weapons use and wants to strike upon the country.

Longtime leader Bashar al-Assad has denied that his government was responsible for using chemical weapons.

He warned the United States and its allies that anything goes if they invade the country.

As the commander-and-chief, Obama has to outline his military strategy. He wants procedure strikes on military bases and spots that contain chemical weapons. The president can do that as he pleases since he's the military leader. But some are bitching about the Constitution and the possibility of going into a long drawn out war.

He's getting criticized by the Opposition Team (Rand Paul, John McCain, Lindsay Graham, Ted Cruz, and Mike Lee) on how he should address this issue in Syria. They wanted him to go to Congress to issue a declaration of war. Then when he shocked the junk food media with that, the same members of th Opposition Team are bitching about how it's a weak move by a president.

But also his core supporters, the progressives are dismayed that this could happen. I am for one concerned that the president is making a dire mistake entering into this conflict. But who am I to stop him?

I mean honestly most U.S. presidents have intervened in global affairs. This one is different. The amount of opposition is basically roundly from both sides. 

The war weary American public isn't in favor of meddling in Syria.

President Barack Obama laid out a red line and told that action will be taken. So where's the action?

He's been bombarded by the left on his promise not to start wars. He's been bombarded by the right on his transparency. And of course, the right doesn't want to give him a victory and they're trying to figure ways to "impeach" him.

The Republican Party itself is even defiant in war. This party and its former standard bearer George W. Bush were unison in getting the war drums beating. The Republicans had unanimous support for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, two of the longest combat wars in the history.

This possibility of going into Syria has strained relationships with Russia. The Russian Federation president Vladimir Putin is strongly against this proposal. Russia is an ally of Syria and they believe that there's not enough proof of chemical weapons use.

Today, officials have confirmed that Syria is probably willing to give up chemical weapons to strain off an airstrike from the American military.

There's a discussion about it. A healthy and yes sometimes unproductive discussion of war.

The country is strained with economic turmoils because of the impact of Iraq and Afghanistan.

The Republican Party is trying to tarnish the legacy of President Barack Obama regardless of what he does.

We already hear talk from Rand Paul that he'll filibuster the move. Instead of writing legislation, he's going to do another camera grabbing moment to win over a few clueless stans.

John McCain was caught playing online poker while at the White House. The three hour discussion on a war strategy and McCain is playing video games. This old fool had the nerve to say that he'll talk to House members about impeachment.

John Boehner is on board with the president. And in a few days, he'll vote probably against the proposal since he's getting flack from his Tea Party members.
 
Pete King called the president decision a good move, but still criticized him for not being an effective leader.

Steve Stockman is already plotting a drafting of Articles of Impeachment.

Democrats are split too. Nancy Pelosi support the president. But those progressives and Blue Dog Democrats are fighting over it as well.

Syria sits within the western quadrant of the Middle East.

It's a big situation if we strike Syria. A country that no one can find on a map, but it's in those in the junk food news media who bring up those stories of those "scary Muslims."

I am actually disappointed in how far we've gotten to this moment. I mean the United States is the only global superpower in the world. Its influence has decreased since the two wars.

Many overseas view Americans as ignorant.

Yeah, we're ignorant.

Many conservative minded Americans believe that anyone who doesn't speak English (American) should go back to their country.

Many conservative minded Americans and liberal minded Americans believe Muslims aren't to be trusted.

Even though a majority of Muslims denounce the religious extremism, many are targeted for hate crimes because of perceived fears of 9/11 and the Benghazi saga.

Many conservative minded Americans would follow a Republican leader into war. They'll finger wag when a Democrat wants to go into a war. King Hippo and That Guy Who Helped Obama Win are two fine examples of that.

They we're the biggest cheerleaders for war in Iraq and called those who opposed it, "anti-American".

The very same cheerleaders are booing and crowing that this potential for strike in Syria is "anti-American."

Tonight President Barack Obama will deliver a speech to the nation about his proposals and the latest developments in Syria.

Russia's move to have chemical weapons removed may take some claim out of the storm. The conservative agitators are blasting the president for allowing Russia take control of the situation. Instead of understand the means of diplomacy, they're arm chair warriors plotting their strategies if they were the commander-and-chief.

The president welcomed any suggestions to end the conflict. But yeah, he's still can get the go-ahead to strike if Congress refuses to authorize. The president is still willing to take this on.

Diplomacy is on the way. Secretary of State John Kerry's first year on the job and he's got one of the toughest moves to make. Could he imagine this conflict gotten to this point!

What's your take on the possibility of the United States engaging in a war with Syria?

Florida Police Put A End To Armed Robbery Suspect!

Florida police kill robbery suspect after he aimed his firearm at them.

 
Florida police had no choice but to put a bullet in the body of an armed robber who was an accused rapist.

I know this may sound kind of cruel but the fool got what he deserve. You practically begging for death if you use your vehicle or aim your firearm at law enforcement.

Tampa was haunted by a serial robber and rapist. The 24-year old man was eluding police after a witness spotted the vehicle and got the license plate.

The University of Southern Florida was terrorized by Charlie Christopher Bates, a young man who had malicious intent to rob and sexually assault victims. Some of these victims at college campuses usually leave their doors unlocked and an individual like this scumbag would infiltrate their space and steal their privacy and the personal belongings.

Friday authorities began pursuing a stolen vehicle along U.S. 301. The sheriff's office later confirmed the driver was him.

A brutal end to a robbery suspect.

Bates led authorities southbound onto U.S. 301 in an orange car. He was initially chased by unmarked officers.

As authorities began a more aggressive pursuit, Bates allegedly fired gunshots backwards from the vehicle.

He lost control just north of the I-4 crossing, crashing in front of a Waffle House, and then exchanged more gunfire with officers.

"There was a large amount of gunfire that was exchanged between the suspect and law enforcement officers," Sheriff David Gee said. 

Both officers were shielding themselves inside the vehicle and walked out OK. Moments later, several officers swarmed the vehicle – guns drawn.

Bates was hit several times, pulled from the vehicle, and rushed from the scene by EMS personnel. Deputies say he died from his injuries; no officers were hurt.

Law enforcement had flooded the scene around U.S. 301 – an end to an extensive air and ground search overnight.

Bates' alleged crime spree started around 11 p.m. Thursday at the Cambridge Woods Apartment, which is just north of USF, where the sheriff's office says he carried out the first of several violent home invasions.

Deputies say a group of people were watching Thursday night's football game in an apartment when Bates entered the residence.

Hillsborough County Sheriff and Tampa Police are investigating the incident.

 He tied up the men, held them at gunpoint, and raped four women inside, deputies say. In another incident, deputies say he broke into a woman's apartment at the nearby Eagles Point, but left without harming her because she began "praying and citing Biblical scripture," according to a release from police.

In a third incident, Bates apparently entered a party at the Oaks Apartments where there were about 25 people at a party. The sheriff's office says he forced them all into a bedroom, held them at gunpoint, and even fired shots.

"I was very sure that some of us in the room were going to die," recalled Saisuweis Syed, who said he was one of the victims. "I thought he was going to kill one, maybe three of us."

There were no reported injuries in that incident. Bates is also suspected of shooting at another person who was walking in the apartment complex. They were unharmed.

All of these apartments are in the general area of each other along 42^nd Street, which runs just north of Fletcher. A deputy was near there and heard gunshots, Gee said.

"They gave chase, and we've been searching for him ever since all morning long," Gee said earlier at a press conference.

Their search carried them through the Tampa Palms area, where authorities spent the morning looking through the woods along Bruce B. Downs Boulevard.

Their efforts quickly shifted to the pursuit of Bates in the orange vehicle around lunchtime.

Tampa Police Chief Jane Castor said they also connected Bates to two other previous home invasions and assaults. Investigators are also looking into claims Bates apparently made to some of his victims -- that he had killed someone earlier.

Detectives found a cell phone that they initially thought might have belonged to the possible murder victim, but they later determined that was not the case.

Judge Orders Abercrombie & Fitch To Pay Up!

Young woman sues suburban clothing company after she was fired for wearing a hijab. Hani Khan (right) won a legal victory against Abercrombie & Fitch. The company is ordered to pay her for damages. They were ordered to hire minority workers.

Federal court awards woman punitive damages for Abercrombie & Fitch's discrimination of her.

Hani Khan was told not to wear a hijab while working. She was fired after a confrontation. They claim that she "unproductive" and the hijab wasn't a reason for her termination.

Well she filed a lawsuit in regards to it. A federal judge in San Francisco gave A & F a smack down.

Truth is, this stuff is purely an example of the constant discrimination of those who practice in Islam.

Blacks and Latinos aren't the only ones who are profiled by law enforcement and agitators in the junk food media. Muslims are also targeted because of their religion and reactionary fear to extremism from those who plot attacks upon the country.

Women and men who are Muslim considered "terrorists" in the eyes of White extremists!

The one thing I can say about how conservatives view "others" is simple:

BLACKS ARE NATURAL BORN CRIMINALS!

HISPANICS ARE ILLEGAL ALIENS!

MUSLIMS ARE TERRORISTS!

AMERICA IS ALWAYS NUMBER ONE!

OBAMA IS A SOCIALIST, MUSLIM, NIGGER!

POOR PEOPLE ARE RUINING THE ECONOMY!

This type of thinking hurts Republicans with minorities and women. So hopefully, this court decision is the beginning of putting the smackdown on bigots.

Now this comes as one of the many controversies surrounding the suburban clothing company.

The controversial CEO Mike Jeffries and his "friend for life" Matthew Smith are under fire for their apparent rules of engagement while working there. They bossing the staff around with these strict rules. The woman's lawsuit also mentioned that the company clearly wanted to hire suburban white teens and young adults to promote their clothing.

The company claimed the head scarf violated its policy governing the look of its employees, which it said was part of its marketing strategy. The store argued that deviating from its look policy would affect sales.

Mike Jeffries is the CEO of the Abercrombie & Fitch. He refers himself to being a 69-year old "boy" who runs A & F. He's a controversial figure.

But the judge said Abercrombie & Fitch offered no "credible evidence" that Khan's head scarf cost the company any sales.

"Abercrombie only offers unsubstantiated opinion testimony of its own employees to support its claim of undue hardship," Rogers said.

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed a lawsuit on Khan's behalf in 2011.

"Abercrombie & Fitch does not discriminate based on religion and we grant religious accommodations when reasonable," spokesman Bruce MacKenzie said. "It is our policy not to comment on pending litigation."

A trial on the company's liability is scheduled for later this month. The judge said the jury is free to award punitive damages if it chooses.

It's the latest employment discrimination charge against the company's so-called "look policy," which critics say means images of mostly white, young, athletic-looking people. The New Albany, Ohio-based company has said it does not tolerate discrimination.

Abercrombie has been the target of numerous discrimination lawsuits, including a federal class action brought by black, Hispanic and Asian employees and job applicants that was settled for $40 million in 2004. The company admitted no wrongdoing, though it was forced to implement new programs and policies to increase diversity.

Jeffries and his "friend for life" Matthew Smith have pissed off one of the company executives. That company executive released details surrounding the company. The executive told some bombshells about how male models must adhere to standard.

The standard for male models are skinny jeans, neat haircuts, topless (six pack muscles), A & F cologne, flip-flops and smiles.

Jeffries openly criticized overweight women. He was saying that [fat women] have "no business" ever setting foot in his stores. He had to take that comment back after he faced the wrath of Hollywood celebrities he once called his "friends".

Are you wondering if I ever wore A & F clothing?

I can openly admit that I've never set foot in Abercrombie & Fitch. I probably felt they would assume I would have acted "suspiciously".

From her official YouTube page, a protest rally at University of California Davis Campus. Sharing her thoughts on being profiled for wearing a hijab. I think this co-aside with the Trayvon Martin rallies.

Keep doing your thing, Ms. Khan. You're beautiful and we here at Journal de la Reyna wish you well on your journey.

Zimmerman's Wife Lets Him Walk!

Wife of acquitted shooter won't press charges against him after domestic dispute.

Shellie Zimmerman may have to "Stand Her Ground" if her husband George becomes a threat to her safety.

Breaking today, the junk food media is covering the controversy with the acquitted shooter George Zimmerman. He and his wife were in the news today after there were reports of him threatening his wife and father in law with a firearm.

The Associated Press reports that even though threats were made upon her life, Shellie Zimmerman won't press charges against this man.

The sobbing wife of George Zimmerman called 911 Monday to report that her estranged husband was threatening her with a gun and had punched her father in the nose, but hours later she decided not to press charges against the man acquitted of all charges for fatally shooting Trayvon Martin.

Lake Mary police officers were still investigating the encounter as a domestic dispute, but no charges had been filed Monday afternoon. George Zimmerman, wearing a flannel shirt, baseball cap and with sunglasses on, left the home after being questioned by police.

Shellie Zimmerman, who has filed for divorce, initially told a 911 dispatcher that her husband had his hand on his gun as he sat in his car outside the home she was at with her father. She said she was scared because she wasn't sure what Zimmerman was capable of doing. But hours later she changed her story and said she never saw a firearm, said Lake Mary Police Chief Steve Bracknell.

For the time being, "domestic violence can't be invoked because she has changed her story and says she didn't see a firearm," Bracknell said.

On the 911 call, Shellie Zimmerman is sobbing and repeating "Oh my God" as she talks to a police dispatcher. She yells at her father to get inside the house, saying Zimmerman may start shooting at them.

"He's threatening all of us with a firearm ... He punched my dad in the nose," Shellie Zimmerman said on the call. "I don't know what he's capable of. I'm really scared."

She also said he grabbed an iPad from her hand and smashed it. Her father also declined to press charges, the police chief said.

Police officers could still build a case based on surveillance video from cameras outside the house and also video from the squad cars of officers who responded. Florida law allows police officers to arrest someone for domestic violence without the consent of the victim.

Police spokesman Zach Hudson said the estranged husband and wife were blaming each other for being the aggressor and that police officers were sorting through their accounts.

Shellie Zimmerman in her divorce filing last week said she and her husband had separated a month after he was acquitted of any crime for fatally shooting the 17-year-old Martin in Sanford, not far from where Monday's investigation happened.

Shellie Zimmerman asked the dispatcher to send an ambulance to check her father out. A fire department ambulance arrived at the house but nobody needed to be transported, Hudson said.

"The call went out as a 911 call that Mr. Zimmerman was threatening them with a firearm," Hudson said.

"We're trying to see if that's true or not."

In her divorce petition, Shellie Zimmerman asked that her husband pay for a permanent life insurance policy with her named as the beneficiary, according to a divorce petition made public last week.

Asshole can't keep out of trouble.

In an interview with ABC's "Good Morning America" that aired last Friday, Zimmerman said her husband left her with "a bunch of pieces of broken glass" after the acquittal. She said he only stayed in their house three or four nights since the trial ended and that they even tried counseling. But she moved out Aug. 13.

"I have a selfish husband and I think George is all about George," she said.

George Zimmerman and his lawyers have made no public statements on the divorce proceedings. An email to Zimmerman's lawyers weren't immediately answered. But lead defense attorney Mark O'Mara was at the home.

Neighbors and other onlookers gathering to watch.

George Zimmerman's brother Robert Zimmerman Jr., tweeted that "we've learned from GZ case not to `jump to conclusions,' to wait for facts, & to avoid speculation. `News' is a business – not your friend."

Last month, Shellie Zimmerman, 26, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor perjury charge for lying about the couple's finances during a bail hearing following her husband's arrest after Martin's shooting.

George Zimmerman, 29, said he acted in self-defense when he killed Martin and the polarizing case opened up national discussions on self-defense laws and race. Martin was black. Zimmerman has a white father and Hispanic mother.

Shellie Zimmerman was sentenced to a year's probation and 100 hours of community service. Her husband did not attend the sentencing hearing in the Sanford courtroom.

Zimmerman has been involved with a domestic case at least once before. In 2005, Zimmerman's former fiancee filed for a restraining order against Zimmerman, alleging domestic violence. Zimmerman responded by requesting a restraining order against his then-fiancee.

Since his acquittal, Zimmerman has gotten a speeding ticket in Florida and was pulled over on suspicion of speeding on a highway near Dallas but not ticketed.

Forney police stopped Zimmerman as he drove west on U.S. 80, about 20 miles east of Dallas. A police dashcam video released July 31 shows an officer interacting with Zimmerman and letting him go with a warning.

The officer can be heard saying, "Just take it easy. Go ahead and shut your glove compartment. Don't play with your firearm."

Although the officer's comments indicated Zimmerman had a gun, a weapon can't be seen and it's not clear that he had one. However, Zimmerman had a concealed weapons permit in Florida that would be also recognized under Texas law. The gun used in Martin's shooting remains in the custody of the federal government, which is looking into a possible civil rights case.

One would think that the man who got away with murder would stay out of the spotlight. Nah, not this guy!

He doing all his bad publicity in either a flannel shirt or a hoodie.

Zimmerman is considered one of the most hated individuals in America. He ranks right up there with people like O.J. Simpson, the Kardashians, and Florida native Casey Anthony.

Anthony the young mother who was acquitted of murdering her daughter Kaylee. She hardly puts herself in the spotlight. She's often caught in either Florida or Ohio with bodyguards in tow.

Another Fine Neighborhood Watch Person In Trouble!

Texas man on the run after he was linked to multiple rapes. This guy was a former neighborhood watch captain.

NO, it's not George Zimmerman.

But the good folks over at Raw Story have a story of a Texas man who done something that has the neighbors talking. He's being accused of being a serial rapist in his town. This individual is Black person so obviously this would be the talk over at That Guy Who Throw Shit On The Wall's website.

He's on the run and is considered a danger to the community. He will likely be caught by the next posting.

For one thing, it's not a White person or Hispanic person. It's a Black person. In the minds of White extremists, the Black male is a "natural born criminal". So nothing new to them, just another NIGGER raping them White women according to them.

Rape is a Class 1 Felony and it's a violent crime. The victims suffered traumatic injuries and a lifetime of guilt and self loathing of each incident by the perpetrator. For every six minutes a woman (or girl) is raped. It could be a family member, a stranger or a figure someone looked up to.

Understand this: RAPE IS RAPE.

There's nothing funny about it!

This individual did it in the state of Texas. It could be possible that he may get the gas chamber if he was infected with a sexually transmitted disease. But it's likely it's life in the iron college if this individual is convicted.

Could this be one of George Zimmerman's good buddies?

A Texas neighborhood watch captain has been named as the leading suspect in string of rapes in the Dallas area.

Dallas police announced on Sunday that DNA evidence had linked 38-year-old Van Dralan Dixson to at least one of nine sexual assaults in South Dallas. Authorities were waiting on test results to confirm the link to other cases.

KTVT reported that Dixson had been head of the Mill City Community Association crime watch from January until these allegations surfaced.


“I wouldn’t have thought it was him,” one neighbor told the station. “It’s scary to live that close to someone that’s doing that.”

“It was very scary, it still is, until they catch him,” she added.

Police said that Dixson had left his children in the care of family members and was believed to be on the run.

“Dallas Police detectives have no information that leads to the belief that suspect Dixson is on the run with his children,” a statement from police said.

A reward for information leading to his arrest and indictment was set at $15,000. Police described him as a 5 foot, 7 inch black male, weighing about 185 pounds.

BREAKING: Zimmerman In Custody Again!

George Zimmerman is in serious trouble again!

George Zimmerman will face a judge again. He was arrested after he got into a domestic dispute.

He had a firearm in this dispute. I guess he threaten his wife, Shellie. She filed for divorce this month.

The ABC News people are reporting that the acquitted shooter of Trayvon Martin was taking into police custody after a domestic dispute police said.

In Lake Mary, Florida (apparently his secret hideaway), Zimmerman is being detained by police after he got into it with Shellie Zimmerman and her father-in-law Colin Morgan.

"There was some kind of a domestic, we know that with his wife and father-in-law." saying representatives of Lake Mary police.

There were weapons and threats being used.

He hasn't been charged with any crime as of yet.

Shellie's attorney Kelly Sims told ABC News that Zimmerman pulled a knife on her today after she discovered a firearm in the house they shared. He then pulled a gun on her and her father after a verbal altercation.

George Zimmerman's attorney Mark O'Mara wasn't reached for comment.

This once again shows that America justice system isn't fair. Where's his good buddy?

You know That Guy Who Helped Obama Win!

He's too busy bashing President Barack Obama over Syria. I bet you money he won't talk about it.

This goes to the latest controversies surrounding the acquitted shooter George Zimmerman.

He was there saving a family on Interstate 4 near the Florida Central Turnpike. The family canceled the pressrer.

Shellie Zimmerman fears her husband.

Frank Taaffe was on a White extremist radio show bashing Black America and Trayvon Martin's family.

Shellie was found guilty of perjury and was sentenced to probation and an issued a fine. While in the jailhouse, Zimmerman and his wife were caught on camera and recording device saying they'll hide extra funds to pay for bills. 

Robert Zimmerman, Jr. was on Loserville comparing Chris Lane's murder to the "liberal media" rush to judgement on his brother. The older brother had posted offensive Twitter posts about Black teens and said racial slurs in the past.

Robert Zimmerman, Sr. wrote a eBook claiming that Rev. Perm, NAACP and the president are "racist" because they've complained about a systematic injustice towards Blacks. He claims that Blacks are "natural born criminals".

Mark O'Mara wants Florida to reimburse Zimmerman for his court case.

Zimmerman was stopped in Texas and recently in his hometown of Lake Mary for speeding tickets. He had a weapon on him. He got off with a warning in Texas. But in hometown, he got a speeding ticket.

He was at the gun manufacturer as a "guest". He posed with the owner of the company and was bragging about getting another firearm.
