Juicy J's Twerk Scholarship Draws Ire From Women's Groups!

Entertainer faces ire of women for "twerk" scholarship offer.

If you can work that behind, you may get a scholarship from entertainer Juicy J. And of course, you may also get the shame of women's right groups.

Black America Web reports that the entertainer is offering $50,000 for the best twerk. Yeah, he's serious about that.

Here's the entertainer speaking about it.



Some women's groups are upset over this. Two Black extremists aren't happy about it and are calling for a boycott of his album.

Seeka tha Teacha, head of the Hip Hop Liberation Army along with colleagues Abena Afreeka and Sis Tricey are too pissed off and are calling for a boycott of the rapper’s CD. Appearing on the weekly rap program, “Militant Minded Radio,” they presented a lively discussion on this display of what can be called a byproduct of misogynistic thinking. We ask for your forgiveness in advance as the speaker’s did not identify themselves so we had to play a guessing game.

“There’s no honor in getting a scholarship for shaking your behind….I think its degrading,” says one of the women we think may be Seeka Tha Teacha, a mother. “Why would you want to get a scholarship for that when there’s a lot of intelligent women out here who use their brain. Why don’t you give them some money,” she continues, adding that she would never want her daughter doing anything like that.

“I know Juicy J [is] probably sittin’ back laughing at all the women that’s gonna come and shake they ass for this money. It’s all a game,” she continues.

“I think that this contest is only symptomatic, and that any discussion about this that ignores the larger picture of the systematic sexploitation, objectification of Black women is basically an incomplete discussion,” says Sis Tricey. She equates Juicy J to someone who is “embracing that cooning buck,” a brother who will promote “the exploitation of himself, his sisters and brothers” for money.

“You can think of the situation…when the 12-year-old sits up and tells his math teacher, ‘I make more in a day then you make in a whole year,” she concludes.

Wiz Khalifa is a fan of Three Six Mafia. The rapper worked with Juicy J and signed him to Taylor Gang Records. The rapper even named Juicy J as the godfather of his son. He and model Amber Rose welcomed a child this year. 

And apparently, the scholarship is only the beginning; a CD is set to follow.

“Is this going to be a trend?” Sis Tricey suggests adding a truly frightening scenario. “Are we going to have more rappers throwing in and saying ‘hey, we’re doing some positive things for the school.’ How many sisters will even want to continue to go to school once they get a taste of that.”

Abeena Afreeka states, ”As women, for starters, I believe it is imperative for us to come out in strong opposition to the CD, to the message, and begin to actively get in the ears of our young sisteren.” She invites not only women, but men as well, to join in with this support against the degradation of Black women; by boycotting the Juicy J CD and the message behind it.

The freedom of speech again comes into play. Remember we're living in the post Sandra Fluke era.

Many entertainers are getting the finger wagging too. Snoop Dogg, Ludacris, Lil' Wayne, The Game and 50 Cent are examples of entertainers who lost their deals after saying or doing things that caused women's groups to boycott the companies.

Conservative agitators aren't spared the wrath either.

Remember that King Hippo (Rush Limbaugh) called the activist a "slut" and drew ire of women's groups. His antics lead to a lost of sponsors and a strain in his relationship with Clear Channel and Cumulus Radio.

We can expect that Juicy J will be the talk of conservative agitators in the coming days. After all, if shit is posted on the wall, then it's the turd flippers who ready to rally.

Well anyways, the rapper has a lot to celebrate. He's a veteran in the hip-hop game and yes it's a big comeback. He's a part of the pop culture.

Three Six Mafia (Juicy J, DJ Paul and Lord Infamous) won an Oscar for their contributions to Hustle & Flow.

I most recognized him as a member of the Three 6 Mafia. He and DJ Paul were childhood friends and would later form the group. Formed in 1991 as the Backyard Posse and then Triple 6 Maifa, DJ Paul, Lord Infamous, Juicy J and Koopsta Knicca, the group later included two more members including; Crunchy Black and Gangsta Boo (who were both added shortly before the release of their debut album Mystic Stylez).

The group has also collaborated with many rappers on their own label; Hypnotize Minds, where they have kick started the careers for many Memphis rappers, such as; Frayser Boy, Gangsta Blac, Lil Wyte and Indo G. The group frequently collaborates with Project Pat (Juicy J's older brother).

Their musical style—which initially featured dark, menacing beats with equally gritty lyrics—has since moved to a more mainstream sound (crunk).

The group has also had numerous lineup changes, and now consists of original members Juicy J and DJ Paul. Nonetheless, they have cultivated a sizable and diverse cult following that has only increased since their Oscar win. They have released two RIAA rated platinum albums; When the Smoke Clears: Sixty 6, Sixty 1 and Most Known Unknown, the latter featured their well known single "Stay Fly", which is said to be the kick start of their rise to fame and the mainstream. The group's worldwide album sales stand at 5.5 million.

Although they're still a group, Juicy J wanted to venture past the Mafia.

While on tour he signed on as a solo artist to Wiz Khalifa's Taylor Gang Records and Dr. Luke's Kemosabe Records. After the signing, he announced that he's working on an album. The album is Juicy J's first solo album since distancing himself from Three 6 Mafia and signing to Wiz Khalifa's Taylor Gang Records, who makes three appearances on the album.

He released Bandz a Make Her Dance. It was produced by Mike Will (Made It) and it featured Lil' Wayne and 2 Chainz. The single was a smash hit and it went platinum.

That single welcome the world to Juicy J.

Juicy J's album the highly anticipated Stay Trippy is now out. It's a comeback album release. It's the third album released by the rapper. But it's his first album to get such huge buzz this summer. It was ranked very favorable and is one the most anticipated albums of the year.

Again, hip-hop music sales are declining. In order for entertainers in the music industry to stay relevant, they release EPs and mixtapes. That helps them generate buzz for their albums and helps move them into the mainstream (pop culture).

Did you know that Three 6 Mafia won an Academy Award?

Their 2005 song "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp" from the film Hustle and Flow won Best Original Song at the 78th Academy Awards.

They join Eminem as the only rap performers who managed to score an Academy Award win for Best Original Song.

Wiz Khalifa is signed to Atlantic Records. He is affiliated with Taylor Gang Records and Rostrum Records.

Juicy J is signed Sony Music Group. He is affiliated with Taylor Gang Records and Hypnotized Minds, LLC.

LovelyTi2002 elaborates on the controversy and also the Bounce It video from Juicy J.

I Got Shot By "The Blacks!"

Depiction of a suspect in a hoodie. Not the guy who shot a man while on his bicycle. 

The Raw Story reports that a Connecticut man was shot. Guess who the suspect was? If you're thinking it's one of "Obama's sons", you're wrong!

The suspect is the guy who shot himself. He tried to blame a gang of people in black hoodies.

Gun crimes continue in America.

The Connecticut Post reports that this man tried to blame "those guys" for his self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Turns out a local man, who claimed he was the victim of a shooting by a Bridgeport gang, actually made poor choice of having a loaded gun in his waistband while out bicycling.

But Wendell Docteur's poor choice has turned out to be a prescription for jail time.

On Thursday, the 22-year-old Docteur, of Hollister Street, was charged with making a false statement, unlawful discharge of a firearm and failure to report a lost firearm.

Docteur, who later posted a $10,000 bond, didn't return calls for comment. He is scheduled to be arraigned in Superior Court on Sept. 5.

On May 3, police were notified by Bridgeport Hospital staff that they were treating Docteur for a gunshot wound to the right leg.

Police said Docteur told them he had been out riding his bicycle on California Street when he was confronted by a half dozen men, dressed all in black with hooded sweatshirts covering their faces.

He said the men demanded his money and then shot him. As they fled they yelled, "North End, North End," which Docteur told police he took to mean they were a gang from the North End of Bridgeport.

But police said Docteur's story just didn't smell right.

Despite insisting he was shot at, police said they could only find a bullet exit hole from his pants.

When they confronted Docteur with this discrepancy, they said he admitted he had accidentally shot himself while riding.

Although Docteur has a pistol permit, police said he couldn't account for the handgun he had shot himself with.

The state is still coping over the incident in December 2012. Sandy Hook is the third worst mass shooting in the history of the United States.

Twenty-six lives were lost on December 14, 2012 after a mentally disturbed man named Adam Lanza forced his way through the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.

The state's governor Dan Malloy signed a gun control law this year in response to this tragedy. The president is trying to encourage Congress to pass reasonable gun control laws. Unfortunately, they're scared of the outcome of the conservative agitators and the National Rifle Association.

Will it take another Trayvon Martin, another Chris Lane, another Gabby Giffords, or a Sandy Hook to drive lawmakers to passing gun control laws?

Dave Chappelle Doesn't Take Kindly To Hecklers!

Meltdown in Hartford, CT. Entertainer Dave Chappelle doesn't take kind to assholes heckling him.

He is hailed as one of the greatest comedians ever. His often uncanny wits and explorer of issues that you never would talk about made him a very controversial figure.

David Khari Webber "Dave" Chappelle (born August 24, 1973) is an American comedian, screenwriter, television/film producer, actor, and artist.

Dave Chappelle began his film career in the film Robin Hood: Men in Tights in 1993 and continued to star in minor roles in the films The Nutty Professor, Con Air, and Blue Streak. His first lead role in a film was in Half Baked in 1998. In 2003, he became widely known for his popular sketch comedy television series, Chappelle's Show, which ran until his abrupt retirement from the show in 2005. Chappelle is ranked forty-third in Comedy Central Presents: 100 Greatest Stand-Ups of All Time.

Comedian Dave Chappelle had meltdowns during his rise to the top.

This one is classic. Apparently after 10 minutes onstage, the comedian gets pissed at some ignorant hecklers.

He launches into a tirade and dropped the mic and ended the show.

 Dave Chappelle was reportedly heckled to the point that he ended his performance in the Oddball Comedy & Curiosity Festival on Thursday night, and walked off stage.

Chappelle was only a few minutes into his act at the Comcast Theatre in Hartford, Conn., when he stopped telling jokes because the people in front were making too much noise, The Laugh Button reported.

This isn't the first time that Chappelle has reacted to an upset crowd. Last year, he was unable to get through a large portion of his set in Texas due to hecklers. The summer tour was considered to be Chappelle's big return to the stage.

Dave Chappelle was born in Washington, DC. He is a Sunni Muslim and vegetarian. He resides in Yellow Springs, Ohio about twenty miles from Dayton, Ohio.

He is good friends with Kevin Hart, Wayne Brady, Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence and Chris Rock.

Republican About Face On Civil Rights!

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. marches through Selma. John Lewis (right) was injured in the event. He would later run for U.S. House as a Democrat.

The past doesn't seem to match up with the present. It's unfortunate that Republicans of present day are trying to rewrite history on the backs of the Black community. They have no freaking clue on what impact the Civil Rights Act of 1964 done for America.

That law banned discrimination in the workplace, retail establishments and services.

Yeah, the Republicans were instrumental in helping Democrats pass Civil Rights and Voting Rights laws. They deserve credit. But to keep saying it was only them when the Democrats held the majority and presidency is kind of disingenuous.

Today's Republican Party has no care for Civil Rights. They're proceeding to tear apart the very fabric of equal rights for Blacks, Hispanics and those in the LGBT community.

People like Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) would gladly repeal Civil Rights laws, if given the opportunity.

Senator Marco Rubio (R-Florida), Senator Tim Scott (R-South Carolina) and Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) claim they're a product of diversity within the Republican Party. Yet, they're the ones who vote to restrict your rights to vote. They rather see Blacks, Hispanics and Muslims locked up just like their fellow Republicans.

In a party that's 90% WHITE and 10% EVERYONE ELSE, you would think the problem solely lies within the party not the Democrats they love to attack for being a "racist" party.

The Republican governors are so eager to pass voter identification laws and rolling back early voting days.

They feel that "voter fraud" is a huge problem in urban community. Say if Tyrone Boykins and Shenquia Teasunae Johnson were without their state issued identifications and they were registered to vote. They wouldn't have an opportunity to vote. Even though you have to sign a book letting you are present, you still don't have enough credibility according to the Republicans. You're only allowed to vote once. Obviously you're not carrying three different identities to vote.

Black conservatives love to rail against the Democrats about being the party that supported racism.

Instead of looking into the facts, they'll just pull stuff right out of their asses.

Harry J. Enten of the Guardian wrote a pretty interesting piece about Republicans "claim" to Civil Rights.

Andrew Breitbart talks to Black Tea Party protester. The conservative agitator died of a heart attack in 2012.

He debunks the theory that Republicans mainly contributed to passage of Civil Rights. He even says that if the Democrats were the "racist" Black conservatives claim them to be, why did they nominate Barack Obama for president?

Enten wrote that Republicans are having trouble with minorities. Some like to point out that the party has a long history of standing up for civil rights compared to Democrats. Democrats, for example, were less likely to vote for the civil rights bills of the 1950s and 1960s. Democrats were more likely to filibuster. Yet, a closer look at the voting coalitions suggests a more complicated picture that ultimately explains why Republicans are not viewed as the party of civil rights.

He wrote that if look you at the party vote in both houses of Congress, it fits the historical pattern. Republicans are more in favor of the bill:

80% of Republicans in the House and Senate voted for the bill. Less than 70% of Democrats did. Indeed, Minority Leader Republican Everett Dirksen led the fight to end the filibuster. Meanwhile, Democrats such as Richard Russell of Georgia and Strom Thurmond of South Carolina tried as hard as they could to sustain a filibuster.

This guy represents Republicans. This guy is probably one of the reasons why Blacks hate the Republican Party.

Of course, it was also Democrats who helped usher the bill through the House, Senate, and ultimately a Democratic president who signed it into law. The bill wouldn't have passed without the support of Majority Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana, a Democrat. Majority Whip Hubert Humphrey, who basically split the Democratic party in two with his 1948 Democratic National Convention speech calling for equal rights for all, kept tabs on individual members to ensure the bill had the numbers to overcome the filibuster.

Put another way, party affiliation seems to be somewhat predictive, but something seems to be missing. So, what factor did best predicting voting?

You don't need to know too much history to understand that the South from the civil war to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 tended to be opposed to minority rights. This factor was separate from party identification or ideology. We can easily control for this variable by breaking up the voting by those states that were part of the confederacy and those that were not.



You can see that geography was far more predictive of voting coalitions on the Civil Rights than party affiliation. What linked Dirksen and Mansfield was the fact that they weren't from the south. In fact, 90% of members of Congress from states (or territories) that were part of the Union voted in favor of the act, while less than 10% of members of Congress from the old Confederate states voted for it. This 80 pt. difference between regions is far greater than the 15 pt. difference between parties.

He concluded that nearly 100% of Union state Democrats supported the 1964 Civil Rights Act compared to 85% of Republicans. None of the southern Republicans voted for the bill, while a small percentage of southern Democrats did.

The same pattern holds true when looking at ideology instead of party affiliation. The folks over at Voteview.com, who created DW-nominate scores to measure the ideology of congressmen and senators, found that the more liberal a congressman or senator was the more likely he would vote for the Civil Rights Act of 1964, once one controlled for a factor closely linked to geography.

That's why Strom Thurmond left the Democratic party soon after the Civil Right Act passed. He recognized that of the two parties, it was the Republican party that was more hospitable to his message. The Republican candidate for president in 1964, Barry Goldwater, was one of the few non-Confederate state senators to vote against the bill. He carried his home state of Arizona and swept the deep southern states – a first for a Republican ever.

Then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Democratic Congresswoman from California holds hands with Georgia's Democratic Congressman John Lewis (a former civil rights leader) as they walk across the U.S. Capitol lawn to vote on the Affordable Healthcare Reform Law.

Now, it wasn't that the Civil Rights Act was what turned the South against the Democrats or minorities against Republicans. Those patterns, as Trende showed, had been developing for a while. It was, however, a manifestation of these growing coalitions. The South gradually became home to the conservative party, while the north became home to the liberal party.

Today, the transformation is nearly complete. President Obama carried only 18% of former Confederate states, while taking 62% of non-Confederate states in 2012. Only 27% of southern senators are Democrats, while 62% of Union state senators are Democrats. And 29% of southern members in the House are Democrats compared to 54% in states or territories that were part of the Union.

Thus, it seems to me that minorities have a pretty good idea of what they are doing when joining the Democratic party. They recognize that the Democratic party of today looks and sounds a lot more like the Democratic party of the North that with near unity passed the Civil Rights Bill of 1964 than the southern Democrats of the era who blocked it, and today would, like Strom Thurmond, likely be Republicans.

They Don't Know How To React To Miley Showing How They Really Are!!!

Dr. Cornel West: Get Me A Ticket Outta Al Sharpton's Coonsville!

Black agitators feuding with one another.

The feud seems to be boiling between Black liberal agitators Rev. Perm (Al Sharpton) and Dr. Cornel West.

You see the New York righteous ones are Black civil rights leaders. Rev. Perm is the host of PoliticsNation on Obama News. He also is a talk radio host and signed entertainer on Cash Money Records.

West on the other hand is a professor of African American studies at the Union Theological Seminary. He was the famous professor of studies at Princeton and Harvard University. He's a frequent collaborator with PBS news agitator Tavis Smiley and they both host a radio show that is on WCPT in Chicago.

West offered harsh words for the March On Washington and the primary speakers.

“Brother Martin himself, I think, would've been turning over in his grave,” West said of the event. “[King would have wanted] people to talk about Wall Street criminality, he wants people to talk about war crimes, or drones dropping bombs on innocent people,” he asserted.

“Instead,” he lamented, “we saw the coronation of the bonafide house negro of the Barack Obama plantation, our dear brother Al Sharpton.” West then declared that Sharpton’s decline was “supported by [MSNBC analyst] Michael Dyson and others who’ve prostituted themselves in a very ugly and vicious way.”

West was once good friends with President Barack Obama and Rev. Perm. All that seemed to change.

He would talk to Amy Goodman of Democracy Now about his outrage.

“…Lincoln isn’t Lincoln if Frederick Douglass isn't pushing him. FDR isn't FDR if A. Philip Randolph and Eleanor Roosevelt aren't pushing him. LBJ isn't LBJ if MLK isn't pushing him.

“We don’t believe in making excuses. We believe that if [Obama] is not pushed, he’s going to be a transactional president and not a transformational president. And we believe that the time is now for action and no longer accommodation. But that doesn't happen unless you’re pushed.”

West even knocked at fellow Black educators Melissa Harris-Perry and Michael Eric Dyson. They are liberal agitators who a featured host on Obama News as well.

I love Brother Mike Dyson… but we’re living in a society where everybody is up for sale. Everything is up for sale. And he and Brother Sharpton and Sister Melissa and others, they have sold their souls for a mess of Obama pottage. And we invite them back to the black prophetic tradition after Obama leaves. But at the moment, they want insider access, and they want to tell those kind of lies. They want to turn their back to poor and working people.

I would expect that Rev. Perm and Melissa Harris-Perry will no longer invite Tavis Smiley and West on their programs for the time being.

Scratch that! Melissa Harris-Perry will address West in some fashion soon! So I will say she'll debate him in the coming weeks.

Now didn't I say I can't stand West and Smiley!

Okay, here's your moment in the sun. There are Black extremists. You may think of people like Rev. Perm, Cut His Nuts Off Jackson, President Barack Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder, or even the First Lady Michelle Obama to be extremists.

You're dead wrong!

The president is an elected leader. You may not like him whether for his policies, his race or his actions. That's fine. But he's no where near the extreme some of these folks paint him out to be.

I call Rev. Perm and Cut His Nuts Off Jackson, two civil rights leaders that piss off the racist right. They're Black liberal agitators who inspire action. Just like Chalk E. Becker and Palin Da Ass, these guys are in the game of group hoarding. If they speak, people will listen.

You don't have to be Justin Bieber to know that the old school folks love to see people they've grown accustomed to see everyday ranting and raving.

But for Tavis Smiley and Cornel West, I can at least say their the Black extremists the racist right outta be focusing on. Sure they're good friends with White people and all. I understand that. But deep down inside, I think they're actively supporting a race war just like That Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall and other extremists.

These two bozos are B-list Black agitators who are jealous of Rev. Perm getting a show and they're being shown the door.

You can't blame them for being passionate about the Black community and issues in the world. They have a right to say whatever they're programmed to say.

But do we have to listen.?

Just like those dolts who support that "no accomplishment" turd Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky). They idol worship a politico who (like his daddy) has nothing but conspiracies masquerading as accomplishments.

Name one thing that Paul has accomplished in the nearly three years of him being in the U.S. Senate?

And I am talking about legislation victories he sponsored.

Anyways, Black extremism is alive and well. I didn't pass off on the extremism within the Black community.

It's not a gang ritual or a group mentality.

It's a few individuals who are so off the rails with issues they don't see clearly or they are the vocal minority in a group that's overwhelmingly against them.

Cornel Ronald West (born June 2, 1953) is an American philosopher, academic, activist, author, public intellectual, and prominent member of the Democratic Socialists of America.

Cornel West publicly supported 2008 Democratic Presidential candidate then US Senator Barack Obama. He spoke to over 1,000 of his supporters at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, N.Y.C., on November 29, 2007.

West has described himself as a "non-Marxist socialist" (partly because he cannot reconcile Marxism with Christianity) and serves as honorary chair of the Democratic Socialists of America, which he has described as "the first multiracial, socialist organization close enough to my politics that I could join".

West criticized President Obama when Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009, saying that it would be difficult for Obama to be "a war president with a peace prize"; West further retracted his support for Obama in an April 2011 interview, stating that Obama is "a black mascot of Wall Street oligarchs and a black puppet of corporate plutocrats. And now he has become head of the American killing machine and is proud of it."

In November 2012, West said in an interview that he considered Obama a "Rockefeller Republican in blackface."

Melissa Harris-Perry, a professor of political science at Tulane University, criticized what she described as the "utter hilarity" of West's statements, writing that his comments are a "classic projection of his own comfortably ensconced life at Harvard and Princeton Universities" and that West "offers thin criticism of President Obama and stunning insight into the delicate ego of the self-appointed black leadership class".

West later called Harris-Perry a "fake and a fraud".

In 2011, West participated in a "Poverty Tour" with Tavis Smiley, his co-host on the Public Radio International program Smiley & West. The tour became a two-part special on their radio program as well as a five-night special on the PBS television program Tavis Smiley. They recounted their experience on the tour in their 2012 bestselling book The Rich and the Rest of Us. The stated aim of the tour was to highlight the plight of the impoverished population of the United States prior to the 2012 Presidential Election, whose candidates West and Smiley stated had ignored the plight of the poor.

I wonder what Dr. Cornel West thinks of Senator Tim Scott (R-South Carolina)?

Here's the video.

Baby Gunners 2!

Quite interesting that the junk food media flips out when they see children of color holding firearms.

But when you see those little White kids holding firearms, it's just so cute and just a "parenting bond".

The FBI and Los Angeles Police Department are cracking down on gangs. The Crips, one of the nation's oldest and most dangerous domestic terrorist group had members post their children on the social networks holding firearms.

The Huffington Post reports that law enforcement worked on the "Operation Thumbs Down." It had roughly 800 FBI agents and LAPD officers Thursday arrested about three dozen alleged members of the infamous Rollin’ 30s Harlem Crips street gang.

So there's probably a mole in the group that set them up! Usually a member who's a federal informant is helping law enforcement track the movements. Federal informants usually commit crimes while gathering information about the ringleader.

A federal informant is usually involved with the group who promotes in child prostitution, illegal gambling, drug smuggling, usage of counterfeit electronics, food and clothing.



During their investigation, authorities found photos on social media sites of children posing with guns, including a young girl in Disney pajamas holds what appears to be an assault weapon.

"Clearly, there's no good reason to put a firearm in the hands of a child," Laura Eimiller, spokeswoman for the FBI, told The Huffington Post. "It's an indication of the violent nature of the gang and the impact of its gang members."

The Rollin 30s Crips is a "multi-generational gang" with up to 1,000 members, according to the FBI. It is considered one of LA's most violent gangs, Eimiller said.

“When you grow up in a culture like that, violence becomes … second nature," Los Angeles Police Department Cmdr. Bill Scott said at a press conference Thursday. "And that’s the cycle we’re trying to disrupt.”

The raid took place at 5 a.m. Thursday at roughly 70 different locations. Agents seized 32 guns and more than 10 kilograms of rock cocaine. Two suspects -- bolded in the list below -- are still at large and being sought, Eimiller said.

Thirty-five alleged members and leaders of the gang were taken into custody and face a number of federal and state charges, including drug trafficking, money laundering and unlicensed dealing of firearms.

The operation was dubbed Thumbs Down in reference to hand gestures used by the gang, including two thumbs pointed upward, representing the “H” in the word “Harlem.”

Police also said they believe some of the members conducted a series of “knock-knock” burglaries -- referred to by the gang as “floccin" -- in which they break into homes if no one answers the door.

Since 2008, there have been 29 homicides, 1,075 assaults and 1,100 robberies on the gang's South LA turf, the FBI said.

If convicted, most of the defendants face prison terms ranging from 5 to 30 years in federal time out.

Those charged federally are listed below:

• Stephen Bayliss, aka “Iceberg”—30, currently in federal custody
• Michael Byars, aka “Wanetti”—55, Inglewood
• Jesus De La Hoya, aka “Jesse”—40, Mira Loma
• Anthoney Edwards, aka “Three Leaf”—23, currently in state custody
• Frank Fisher, aka “Boons”—23, Los Angeles
• Rayeisha Glenn, aka “Ray Ray”—35, Los Angeles
• Kenneth Green, aka “Gin”—36, Los Angeles
• Kevin Green, aka “Young Watt”—31, Los Angeles
• Jovan Harris, aka “Headache”—34, Los Angeles
• Clavern Luckett, aka “Uncle D”—38, Los Angeles
• Gary Luckett, aka “Uncle Gary”—39, Los Angeles
• Kelly Martin, aka “Cartoon”—43, Compton
• Don Mosley, aka “Whino”—34, currently in state custody
• Edward Norwood, aka “Polo”—33, Los Angeles (federal fugitive)
• Brandon Robertson, aka “BK”—31, Los Angeles (federal fugitive)
• Alan Ross, aka “Big Choo”—37, Los Angeles
• Darlene Sebatta—38, Los Angeles
• Ernest Sluch, aka “E-Rocc”—47, Los Angeles
• Jason Thurton, aka “CT”—35, Long Beach
• Emerie Tims, aka “Mac”—34, Long Beach
• Moses Williams, aka “Termite”—34, Los Angeles

If you arrested in a federal crime and convicted, you are heading to federal time out. You will have to serve the full sentence in the federal time out. There's no time off for good behavior.

Street gangs, pimps and white supremacists groups are domestic terrorist. They are engaging in some act of terror upon their victims.

Hey, here's some pictures of children holding firearms. Wonder if the FBI is cracking down on these people who show pictures of their children holding firearms too.




Now if you happen to see Blacks, Latinos or even Muslims having firearms (or in the case of their children), these very same individuals want to have them locked up.
