K.C. Cop May Have To Shake After Posting Racial Comments About Michael Brown Shooting!

This is not Michael Brown.

The racist right overacts to the crisis in Ferguson. Another night of rioting and looting continues despite embattled governor Jay Nixon's (D-MO) curfew.

Over 50 people were arrested after a night of protests in which some have thrown rocks at the law.

St. Louis County prosecutor is weighing the options on whether the evidence determines that Ferguson officer Darren Wilson used excessive force in the firing of his service weapon.

Michael Brown was shot six times after a confrontation with Ferguson police. Witnesses say that he had his hands up when the law shot and killed him. The law says that he tried to struggle for the service weapon and punched the officer. He was a suspect in a robbery at a local store according to the law.

Anyway this ongoing crisis will be covered by me and S. Baldwin. Even the agitators and their impact on this situation.

Lets travel at least 232 miles to the Kansas City metropolitan area. There's an officer who is under investigation after he reposted a chain message on the social networks. The officer couldn't figure out the right Black person. He thought the picture of a Black guy holding a wad of cash in his mouth and pointing a pistol was the unarmed teen Michael Brown.

Marc Catron will probably be warned not to be on the social networks again. He's under investigation after he reposted a chain message on that social network. Catron claimed that [he's] sure that young Michael Brown is innocent and just misunderstood. Catron sarcastically stated that Brown was a pillar of the Ferguson community. What tipped his superiors off was the fact that he posted a picture of another Black person, inserted his opinion, ignored his policies on commenting on law enforcement issues, and using social networking to promote a message that may tip off the junk food media. When he's appointed in law enforcement, Catron should have heed warnings of showing impartial judgment. He going to get his papers if not a demotion.

Catron was smart enough to run his mouth on the comparisons to OJ Simpson and Trayvon Martin situation.

“Remember how white people rioted after OJ’s acquittal? Me neither."

Okay, here's a rundown on how our freedom of speech. He can make his opinion on how he feels about young Black teens and celebrities such as Simpson.

He can even claim that all BLACKS are criminals. After all I am guessing he's an avid listener of talk radio and viewer of Loserville. I am certain that he's already assumed that Brown's killing was justified because he heard from a racist right blog saying he charged at an officer. Of course he had no weapon on him.

Catron could wear a badge and get behind the wheel of a patrol vehicle. He can probably assume that all Black motorists are under the influence of drugs or alcohol. He can say that wrong signal is merit for arrest.

After all he assumes that all Blacks are reactionary and may try something that may draw a service weapon.

Myrightwingdad.com once again collects the most offensive right wing emails. This once probably circulated around the internet. This picture is not Michael Brown. Unfortunately the racist right doesn't care. It's another Black criminal regardless.
You can't fix stupid. KC Cop gets a talking to after posting racial slurs on his social networking page.
Again the perception of Black men holding firearms always seem to get more play in the junk food media.

When you see White folks with firearms, the media may perceive it as a negativity. But not as much as Black person who holds money in his mouth while showing off his pistol. I mean it's not like he's committing a crime, but to the racist right, it's enough to say he deserves to be killed too.

The image is of Joda Cain's, the teen who is accused of killing his great grandma.

Cain and his cousin, 20-year-old Micus Ward (left), face aggravated murder charges in Bell's killing according to The Oregonian.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to all gun shooting victims, Michael Brown, John Crawford III, and Jacqueline Bell.

The Woman Who Filmed The Michael Brown Shooting Fears For Her Life!

Piaget Crenshaw at a mural for Michael Brown. She along with her attorney goes to CNN to disspell the racist right's account of the Michael Brown shooting.

Piaget Crenshaw with her attorney goes to CNN to tell the junk food media that the events that sparked riots into the St. Louis metropolitan area was triggered Ferguson officer Darren Wilson.

Crenshaw said that her first month living in the Ferguson has been a nightmare. She was trying to go to work and the commotion outside drove her to record it.

She believes Wilson was caught on film shooting a fleeing Brown. The teen paused and turned to face Wilson with his hands up. He would shot Brown in the face with his service weapon.

She wants to disspell the racist right's account of unarmed teen Michael Brown.

“I knew this was not right, I knew police should not even have been chasing this young boy and firing at the same time,” Crenshaw told CNN. “That fact that he got shot in the face, it was something that clicked in me, I thought, somebody else needs to see this. This isn’t right.”

Crenshaw said there was a struggle at the police car in which it seemed Wilson was trying to draw Brown in. Brown took off running, and Crenshaw said Wilson began firing; when Brown turned around, he was shot multiple times. Crenshaw said that her accounting of the incident concurred with what she knew of the autopsy report, which found that Brown had been shot from the front. “When [Brown] turned toward the cop was when he let off the most shots,” Crenshaw said.

The racist right believes that officer Wilson was justifiable in shooting an unarmed Brown. They seen the release of a video in which Brown shoved a convenience store worker. He was accused by the law of stealing a few Swisher Sweet cigars. He had marijuana traces in his autopsy report. Some of his social networking profile pictures shows unflattering images of Brown. In the racist right's mind, this is enough for the law to lay six shots into him.

More rioting happened in Ferguson. Some in the media chasing for them ratings got hit with tear gas from the law and sometimes rocks from the protesters.

Embattled governor Jay Nixon (D-MO) ordered the national guard to handle situation after pleas by Missouri Highway Patrol chief Ron Johnson failed. President Barack Obama has ordered Attorney General Eric Holder to travel to Ferguson.

#IfTheyGunnedMeDown



Black America is getting frustrated with the junk food media focusing on the perception of victims of gun shootings. Black men are often stereotyped by the racist right agitators, Loserville and those word of mouths.

They often look into the social networks of a Black male who became a victim of a gun shooting. They love to pull the offensive pictures to paint the victim as the aggressor and the killing would be rendered justifiable.

This campaign called #IfTheyGunnedMeDown is a meme on the social networks. Young Black people are posting their professional and not so professional pictures to prove a point. If they were killed today, how would the junk food media look at them?

You may see some of the pictures that describe the popularity of some and those who are often perceived as something their not.
















Black America has had enough of the negativity from those in the junk food media. The agitators don't seem to care about the fact that for every gun shooting victim, a person's life is lost. A family is destroyed and our inept Congress continues to pocket millions of dollars from the gun lobbying groups.

Even Colorado politico Jared Polis (D-CO) got into the hashtag campaign.

If this doesn't wake up America, I don't know what would?

Six Shots To The Head...

The autopsy has once again got the junk food media talking. The governor calls upon the national guard after protesters and looters violated the curfew.

Despite empathy from Governor Jay Nixon (D-MO) and Missouri Highway Patrol lead Ron Johnson, the knotheads once again riot and loot in Ferguson. The governor calls upon the national guard to restore order after a curfew warning was ignored.

The law had no choice but to use smoke and tear gas to get rid of the crowds.

The major impact to this was the autopsy of unarmed teen Michael Brown.

Brown's death was six shots. Two of them shots went right into the head of the teen.

Brown was also shot four times in the right arm and that all the bullets were fired into his front. The newspaper said the bullets did not appear to have come from very close range because there was no gunpowder on his body.

That determination could change if there were residue on Brown's clothing, which Baden did not examine, the newspaper said.

Some of the bullets entered and exited Brown several times, the newspaper said, including one that caused at least five wounds. It said one shattered his right eye, went through his face, left through his jaw and re-entered his collarbone. The last two shots in the head would have stopped him in his tracks and were likely the last fired, the Times said.

Baden told the New York Times that Brown would not have survived even if he had been taken to a hospital immediately.

Baden did not return a message left by The Associated Press earlier Sunday.
The photo of the officer involved in the shooting of Michael Brown.
Earlier Sunday, Attorney General Eric Holder ordered a federal medical examiner to perform another autopsy on Brown, citing the "extraordinary circumstances" surrounding his death and a request by Brown's family.

Half of the time, you got an agitator probably getting his name wrong. Then of course, you hear the liberal and libertarian agitators going after the federal and state governments for allowing military weapons in getting rid of the unruly crowds.

Me and S. Baldwin continue to cover this controversy. This is a given wedge issue. The controversy has gotten the White liberals being "sympathetic" towards the protesters. The racist right agitators such as their native son continue their baseless smears. The agitators of the racist right has went to town on the "suspected" robbery of smokes.

J. Cole went to the studio and recorded a song in tribute to the teen.

Reverend Jesse Lee Peterson, a certified Black extremist has went as far to call Brown's death a justifiable cause because of his social networking profile.

The Klan has rallied for support of the officer. Darren Wilson, who is in hiding due to death threats doesn't need this type of headache.

The racist right claims that a few seconds of comments from other bystanders tells that Brown charged at an officer. Again an unarmed person would try to attack an officer. Usually in this type of response would require the law to use stun guns.

Again this once again became another divisive moment in which the left and the right, Black and White, Democrat and Republican, smart and stupid choose their corners.

Expect more of this in the months up to the Midterm Election.

DOJ Told Ferg Cops That The Michael Brown "Robbery" Video Will Spark Riots!

The cops wanted to prove a point. They've thought wrong. 

Yeah, a video will shed light into what actually happened that afternoon Michael Brown was shot and killed by the Ferguson police. Officer Darren Wilson confronted Brown and his friend near a housing project.

The officer got into a confrontation with Brown and it led to the shooting. The officer is on leave pending investigation. He is also in fear of his life after the incident.

The Missouri governor of the state Jay Nixon ordered a curfew for portions of St. Louis County.

The embattled Democratic politico has gotten a hard lesson in reality. His constituents are pissed off at the way this issue was handled.
Jay Nixon, the embattled Democratic governor greets Missouri State Patrol lead Ron Johnson. Johnson is putting a lil' old school parenting and preaching. He is in charge of maintain control in Ferguson.
The Ferguson police would say that Brown was a suspect in the robbery of a few Swisher Sweets. He got into the face of the QuikStop clerk and pushed him.

That right there has gotten the racist right to attack his character. The junk food media is running it in loops.

The family is totally outraged over the release. They claim that this attempt to shame the victim is pathetic and they demand that the law tell the truth about the confrontation.

The confrontation has two accounts. The police account and the witnesses.

The cops say that he put up a fight and tried to reach for the officer's service gun. The witnesses say that there was a scuffle but it only involved the officer and his gun. The teen raised his arms up and the officer still fired upon him. The officer's vehicle doesn't have a dash camera.

The Department of Justice and the FBI are urging the residents to not cause more chaos. They warned the residents that looting and rioting is not going to be tolerated and prosecution is going to happen to those involved.
Michael Brown's mother Lesley McSpadden believe the junk food media is slandering their son's name.
The DOJ also warned that releasing the video could spark it. Unfortunately the reactionary insurgency and racist right will also be agitated as well.

Rioting and looting continued despite police warnings. The protesters ignored the warnings and the police went back to bringing out the military style vehicles.

We are watching the developments as they continue. A sad day in America. The racist right, the rioting and the unjustifiable outrage has made me look at America in a totally different light.

Governor Oops Got Indicted!

Governor Oops is leaving Texas with a scandal. 

I'm Rick Perry, you won't catch me..
I'm from Texas, tee hee hee...
I'm the gubner, you better believe me...
I'm the guy, you liberals won't catch me...
I done what's right for my fellow Texans...
I will beat the liberals, tee hee hee...

Governor Oops got served his papers this week. He was indicted on two felonies by a Texas district attorney for gross misuse of power.

Kind of ironic, that the Republican-controlled House of Representatives is planning on suing the president over his use of executive orders. But in the state of Texas, the Democrats are getting Perry on the use of his powers after the latest botchery of the Texas congressional district map. Not to mention a strong arm move that would have force a political rival off a certain board.

With that said, it could not swing in the 2014 governor's race.

Insurgency backed Greg Abbot is leading against Wendy Davis.

Davis' powers are fading and it's going to be extremely tough to beat a wheelchair bound Abbot. The Texan culture is too conservative and they're spooked by the thousands of undocumented children crossing the border.

Oops was indicted by a grand jury on felony charges for abuse of power. He was accused of coercing a Democratic District Attorney who had been convicted of drunk driving to resign by threatening to veto funding for state public corruption prosecutors.

Oops became governor after George W. Bush left the term to be the 43rd President of The United States.

Oops ran for the Republican nomination in 2012. At first, he was inspiring the insurgency, but fizzled out after a handful of bumbling mistakes. He is thinking about another run for failure.

Mall Cop Maces Unarmed Black Man!

You sprayed the wrong guy, says protesters.

See this nonsense happens in the country. Are you seeing this for yourself?

I am guessing that Black men are open targets. The law, that asshole in Florida, the racist right and the junk food media already assumes that Black men are acting suspiciously. When we are given the right to be armed, the police, the liberal agitators, and Black civil right leaders want us to give up our arms. We can't win in this society. Regardless of having the first Black president, this country is so fucked up. His opposition knew that once he gotten in, they could rally more agitation towards suburbia. Those in suburbia watch the junk food media constantly label Blacks as "criminals" and not "victims".

They done it to Trayvon Martin, Jordan Davis, Michael Brown, John Crawford II, and Renisha McBride.

Each victim was killed either by a White vigilante or law enforcement.

Here's a story about a mall cop pepper spraying a Black man after he and a heckler were involved in a shouting match. As the Black man leaves the situation, the mall cops goes after him and not the heckler.




Here's a man who wasn't doing anything being arrested by mall cops after a racist pro-Israeli heckler mocked him and others at the pro-Palestine protest rally.

The incident occurred Saturday in front of the Starbucks at Westlake Center, near a pro-Palestinian rally. Much of what happened has been captured in still photographs and video.

Raymond Wilford, 25, was walking downtown when he passed a man who, according to onlookers, had been heckling demonstrators, flipping a middle finger at them, and also had removed his shirt.

Wilford told The Seattle Times that as he passed by the man, he felt some spray from the man’s mouth. Wilford turned toward the man and cocked his fist. After he and the other man squared off, fists raised, a uniformed security guard appeared.

In photos posted by Alex Garland at The Dignity Virus, a blog that features protest images, the guard can be seen moments later using pepper spray. While the heckler did not seem to be struck, Wilford was sprayed directly in the face.

According to a police report, the guard said he used the spray because Wilford balled his fists and “took an aggressive step towards him.”

Wilford said in an interview with The Seattle Times that he stepped forward, amid shouting, because he was trying to explain his side of the story, but the mall guard yelled “Stop!” and sprayed him.

“I thought he (the guard) was the helper, that’s why I approached him. But he thought I was the threat,” Wilford said Monday.

Wilford said he thinks he was misperceived as the aggressor because he’s black.



Afterward, the heckler walked away and a YouTube video shows that the guard held and eventually handcuffed Wilford, about the time police showed up. A Seattle police officer shouted at a few of the onlookers to stay back as the guard escorted Wilford into Westlake Mall. Demonstrators shouted, “You pepper-sprayed the wrong guy” and similar comments.

“We will be looking at all parties involved,” police spokesman Drew Fowler said Friday.

Wilford recalled that after being handcuffed Saturday, he sat in a room, was given baby shampoo to wash his face, then was released after about 25 minutes. Wilford said the guard said he was sorry, and a Seattle police officer instructed mall security to release him.

He said Monday he would like a formal apology.

Wilford explained why he didn’t follow through with a punch at the heckler: “I saw the cameras. I’m not trying to catch any charges. Angry black guy, beating up a white guy, blah-blah.”

One question for Seattle police is the guard’s jurisdiction.

Westlake Park south of Pine Street is city-owned, as are downtown sidewalks. The plaza immediately in front of the mall is private, though police sometimes congregate there. Did the altercation happen on public or private property, did the mall guard have authority, and does it matter? Police will consider that angle, Fowler said.

The incident is being analyzed by Valor Security Services, Westlake’s security contractor, as are all use-of-force situations involving its guards, said Scott Born, vice president. He said safety of mall visitors is the top priority.

“After breaking up a fight and giving repeated warnings for the individual to calm down, measures were taken and immediately following Seattle police arrived on site to assist. Please know these actions are never done without warning and careful consideration. It is always our goal to try to resolve all situations as peacefully as possible,” Valor Security said in a statement.

The Racist Right Goes All Out On Michael Brown!

The junk food media is worked over allegations of the unarmed teen Michael Brown stealing a pack of smokes from a store.

The St. Louis County police decided to run the tape. They claim that unarmed teen Michael Brown was involved in a robbery at a QuikTrip. The theft of cigars says Ferguson Police.

The officer who shot and killed Brown was identified. Darren Wilson a six year veteran of the Ferguson Police was the shooter.

The family of Brown says that the law and the junk food media are trying to assassinate the character.

What a week. If you're not aware of the situation, then let me explain this as best as I can.
brown robbery stroe
The police claim that Brown was involved in a robbery of cigars. The racist right will go to town with it.
Ferguson, Missouri is ground zero. There was an officer involved shooting. A 18-year old teen was shot after a confrontation with the law. According to witnesses, the officer was harassing the young man and his friend while walking on the street.

Police Chief Thomas Jackson has identified Darren Wilson as the officer who fatally shot unarmed black teen Michael Brown on Saturday in Ferguson, Missouri.

Jackson also announced Friday that the department would release video of a "strong-armed robbery" that took place in the area. He outlined events that began at 11 a.m. the day of the shooting and implied Wilson confronted Brown, 18, in connection with the robbery. Wilson encountered Brown at 12:01 p.m., Jackson said. By the time a second officer arrived at 12:04 p.m., Brown was dead.

The junk food media has been pretty divided on it. The folks over at Loserville have already labeled him a "suspect".

King Hippo keeps calling Brown the "gentle giant". The agitator was going on and on about the robbery. He kept forgetting that the "gentle giant" didn't have a firearm in this "robbery".

That annoying ass conservative agitator was rambling about him being pulled over and how pleasant his experience with law enforcement's been. The agitator is a millionaire and White.

The agitators of the racist right as predictable go right to it. They blame the victim for his own demise.

Over a few smokes.....

Call the police, a man steals a handful of smokes. Shoot to kill.

More developments will follow as we continue.

LAPD Shoot And Kill Unarmed Man!

Ezell Ford was shot by the LAPD. The man was unarmed. More controversy ensues.

The racial agitators are having a field day with the numerous events of officer involved shootings in America.

So many incidents involving Black residents being either injured or killed by law enforcement has gotten national attention. President Barack Obama issues calm in the wake of these events.

There have been incidents in Los Angeles when a California Highway Patrol officer brutally assaulted an unarmed Black woman who was walking on the highway.

Then you have the New York Police Department under fire. A plain clothes officer put a chokehold on an unarmed man who they've accused of selling loose cigarettes. That incident caused the man to go into cardiac arrest and he died on route to hospital.

Then we have this incident in Beavercreek, Ohio where a man was playing with an air rifle in a local Walmart. The Beavercreek Police have told the man to drop the weapon. The man didn't and they ended up shooting him. He died at the Walmart. A woman who was running away died of cardiac arrest.

We have this controversy in Ferguson, Missouri. A 18-year old man was shot and killed by an officer sparking a week of protest and riots. This has attracted national attention and the partisan agitators are now seeking the spoils of a tragedy. The law enforcement of the suburb lost control to the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

Now the LAPD is under fire for the shooting of an unarmed mentally ill man. The Los Angeles Times report that the LAPD released a detailed narrative of the confrontation, alleging that the man tackled one officer and went for his gun before police opened fire.

LAPD Cmdr. Andrew Smith said two veteran gang officers were driving down West 65th Street on Monday night when they spotted Ezell Ford, 25, walking on the sidewalk. An LAPD statement, citing a preliminary investigation, said officers got out of their car, and tried to talk to Ford but he “continued walking and made suspicious movements, including attempting to conceal his hands.”

When the officers got closer, Smith said, Ford “whirled around and basically tackled the lead officer.” Ford reached for the officer’s gun, Smith said, prompting his partner to open fire. The officer on the ground reached for his back-up weapon and also fired.

Ford was handcuffed -- as is routine in such shootings, according to the LAPD -- and paramedics were called to the scene. He died later at a hospital.

But some who lived in the area questioned the police account. A friend of Ford’s family told The Times she witnessed part of the incident and saw no struggle between the officers and Ford.

Dorene Henderson, 57, said she had crossed the street in front of Ford when she heard someone yell, “Get down, get down.”
LAPD the country's most effective police force faces another scandal.
One officer was out of the car when Henderson said she heard a gunshot. She said neighbors began yelling at the officers, “He’s got mental problems.”

Henderson said she saw the other officer get out of the driver’s side of the police car, and she heard two more shots.

A man interviewed by KTLA-TV said Ford was complying with officers or had been subdued at the time of the shooting. These accounts prompted a backlash on social media against the LAPD, with some comparing Ford’s death to the shooting of a young, unarmed black man in Ferguson, Mo., that has sparked ongoing protests and national headlines. Some called on Facebook for a rally outside LAPD headquarters on Sunday.

Earl Ofari Hutchinson, president of the Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable, said he asked for a meeting with LAPD Chief Charlie Beck after he saw media reports about the shooting. Community concerns, he said, have been heightened by the shooting in Missouri.

Smith cautioned that the LAPD’s investigation into the incident was ongoing, as are separate reviews by the department’s inspector general and the district attorney’s office. But, he said, “there is a lot of misinformation out there.”

“He didn’t comply with any of the officers’ instructions,” Smith said. “He was grabbing the officer’s gun with the officer underneath him.”

Coroner’s officials have yet to release details about Ford’s wounds.

On Wednesday afternoon, friends and family gathered at the site where Ford had been shot in the Florence area of the city. Blue and white candles marked the location.

The graffiti-pocked neighborhood has one of the highest rates of violent crime in Los Angeles County, according to crime reports analyzed by The Times crime database.

A portrait emerged of Ford as a troubled young man who was well known in the neighborhood as struggling with mental health problems.

Los Angeles County court records show Ford had convictions for marijuana possession and illegally possessing a loaded firearm. His most recent conviction came in January, when he was put on 3 years summary probation for trespassing in Long Beach.

Ford’s parents, who said they were still seeking information about their eldest son’s death, described him as an active, social boy who dreamed of becoming a basketball star but suffered from mental illness. When he was 18, they said, he began to withdraw, becoming less social.

“He constantly kept moving around and would look at you like he didn’t trust you,” Ford’s father, Ezell Ford Sr., said.

The Los Angeles Times also reports that Ford was diagnosed with depression, his parents said, and later schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. As Ford got older, his father said, he began taking medication that made him less active.

“I was sad,” his father said. “Why was my son going through this?”

Most recently, Ford’s parents said they knew their son as a drifter. He’d go on long walks from his house, sometimes to his grandmother’s home in the West Adams area. Once, his parents said, he walked all the way to Long Beach for no apparent reason.

Residents in the area and police officers knew about Ford’s mental health, his parents said. “At the end of the day, he was a good kid,” his father said.

A woman who lived on the street where Ford was shot said he was a familiar face in the neighborhood, walking past her house daily to get cigarettes and meet friends. “I see him all the time, every day,” she said. “Kid simply walks and minds his own business.”

A worker at an Alcoholics Anonymous building at the corner of Broadway and 66th Street said Ford would stop in for coffee and often talked to himself. Identifying Ford from a photo of the fatally shot man, Oscar Hernandez said Ford sometimes locked himself in a bathroom in the building.

The fatal shooting is one of 16 LAPD officer-involved shootings this year, a department spokeswoman said. The agency had 30 such incidents during the same time period in 2013, she said.

David Gregory Resigns From Meet The Press!

David Gregory got the ax. Chuck Todd got one year to turn Meet The Press around or he'll be joining Gregory.

NBC executives want to keep the nation's longest running Sunday news program in the top. So in order to do so, they gave the host the ax. David Gregory, the host since 2008 is stepping aside.

GOP Sundays won't be the same without him. Although I won't miss him too much, his future from the network will be better. He can emerge on another network. Say if it was Loserville or CNN.

Who knows?







Gregory who was then the Washington bureau chief got the gig after Tim Russert passed away in 2008.

Gregory got the most press coverage during the 2012 Sandy Hook tragedy, when that lunatic Wayne LaPierre was bitching about how guns could have save those 26 innocent people when that extremist killed them with an assault rifle.

Gregory brought a firearm magazine. He did violate a minor law in which it restricted him from bringing in a loaded weapon into the city of Washington, DC.

Chuck Todd will likely take the spot. We'll see if he has the guts!

CBS has gained grown with Face The Nation. Bob Schieffer is getting some of his best ratings ever on GOP Sundays.

Under Gregory's tenure as moderator, Meet the Press has significantly decline in ratings since 2008. In the final three months of 2013, the program came in third place for total viewers behind CBS's Face The Nation and ABC's This Week for the first time since 1992 and experienced the lowest ratings in the show's entire history among the key 25 to 54 viewing demographic.

The Haters Got Shut Down!

One website that promotes hate got shutdown. But how many more would spawn after it?

When the haters are trying to take you down!

What do you do?

You got to laugh at the haters. They are obsessed with trying to "expose" me. They would make derogatory images of me and thousands of others just for "fun". The racist right and their allies in the insurgent Republican Party have long looked upon Blacks as "criminals", "animals" and "vermin".

They can't stomach a browner nation. They know that as long as Barack Obama is in the White House, they would use this as a recruitment tool for their movement. It would be considered a compulsive disorder among the extremists. They have to create websites devoted to trashing those who aren't like them. Their movement is to create more Cliven Bundys, J.T. Readys, Craig Cobbs, Glenn Fraizer Millers, Wade Pages, Jared and Amanda Millers.

They have websites that cater to their radical views. The social networks are trying their hardest to purge the haters. But for one hater gone spawns ten more.

You gotta admit that for over five years I've often talked about issues involving my community, the government and junk food media. Every issue sprinkled on YouTube and through Blogger.

Often I would get haters responding to my blogs and my videos on YouTube.

There was this hater who went by the name........ Nah, I am not going to give you the name.

I don't want to give this asshole anymore attention than what he needs.

He would go onto YouTube spamming in the comment section with NIGGER this, NIGGER that!

This is what the asshole would do for a living. He would use Fireworks 4.0 to post my face to objects. He was obsessed with me because he could never win a debate. This asshole would create a website devoted to trashing me and other Black people.
Call Blacks every racial slur out of the book. He would often be banned for his comments. Yet he would once again troll again causing more havoc to every Black or Latino YouTube user.

He would bait me and others into a hostile debate over his website, his many allies in the racist right and those who call him out on his bullshit.

He would later create a website that covers news events that involves Blacks. He would also obsess with me by making silly photos using my image. He wasted more time attacking me more than those who attacked him.

Somehow I must really pissed him off. I often would go specifically after this one. This one would troll me more than any other asshole.

Today, I was expecting this asshole's website covering the situation in Ferguson, MO. After all this asshole obsesses with Blacks and seeing the rioting happening over there, the racist right couldn't resist putting its input into it.

I used Google to search the web for this website. Alas, it's gone. One of the blogs I support got a cache copy of this website. I will link it but I will not give you the name of the website (just in case the spamming of racial slurs would fall upon her blog).

Although I will no longer address this asshole or his allies, I want you to understand that there's ways to beat them without even going after them.

First make sure that if you're on those social networking websites, make sure you don't accept "EVERYONE" as your friend.

Second, make sure you're pictures are private and don't allow "EVERYONE" to see them. Cause a hater would spent their time trying to intimidate you by creating fake profiles and using your image in derogatory themes.

Third, don't engage with the hater. The hater loves for you to respond.

Fourth, delete comments that are offensive. Me and S. Baldwin been here for years blogging about issues. Some issues are controversial. Some are spiritual. Some may inspire you to think. Others may rile you up. That's perfectly fine.

We are here on Journal de la Reyna using our "freedom of speech" to talk about issues.

Some may not like that. That's fine.

We don't condone every anti-website that spends their times attacking someone.

We're not like that. Every story that I've post comes with a wittiness and willingness to express an honest take on the current issues.

I don't see nothing wrong with discourse. Does it mean we have to read it?

Again, we don't have give anyone a forum to soapbox insults, racial slurs and random spamming.

We're not in the business of this back and forth with people who have no direct ties to us. We are not in the business to respond to a person who has to subject us with insults upon our character, this blog or the supporters here.

If you have a problem with the blog, that's your opinion. But as far as it goes, we're not going anywhere and as long as I'm still here, there will be more posts on Journal de la Reyna.

So once again, why are you bothering us? As far as I'm concerned, the only racist here is you!
