I knew it was going to come to this. You Negroes and all this dressing up you like to do for Easter. What the hell is that all about? Now you all "went and done" killed each other over your Easter clothes. Stop the madness! Even your poor kids are scared of Easter cause you all have them dressed in suits that they can't even move in. And those damn hats! I swear if I ever went to church my pastor would have to have a hat section for all you hat wearing women to sit in. I can't see the preacher over your damn hats.
"COLUMBUS, Ohio - Police in Ohio say a woman shot her cousin to death during an argument that started because one woman didn't think the other was dressed properly for Easter dinner. Columbus police Officer Jean Holmes said in court Tuesday that the leg-baring shorts worn by 19-year-old Danielle Pickens sparked a verbal and physical confrontation with 42-year-old Evelyn Burgess on Sunday at Burgess' home."
Oh Lawd, the woman had the nerve to have on "leg-bearing" shorts for dinner and her cousin shot her. Can you say issues boyz and girls?
Look, I love to dress with the best of em. I am very in touch with my sartorial side. But sometimes you Negroes tend to go over- board with all the dressing up. Sometimes I want to listen to some of those preachers on television, but I can't because all the buttons on their suits keep distracting me from the message. And don't even front like it's just me. You all know exactly where I am coming from.
And finally, you all know I couldn't go without taking yet another shot at my wingnuts friends. Honestly, I would rather not talk about these folks, but they make it so hard for me not to. So anway, have you all heard the latest from this "motley crue"? (Wait, did I write "motley crue"? Clearly I meant monolithic crue) Seems they caught Michelle Obama speaking at a 2008 DNC fundraiser saying that her husband's home country is Kenya. Oh my, they have him now. The birthers are salivating over this one.
"OOPS!Interesting statement caught on tape from Mrs. Obama... Why would Barack Obama's home country" be Kenya (as stated by his own wife) if he was born in the United States? Obama grew up in Indonesia and Hawaii to the best of our knowledge.Obama's own Grandmother says she was at his birth in Africa...not Hawaii. (Last I checked - there was a big difference in these two locations.)The "Believers" will continue believing a Liar - even when his own grandmother, his wife and others have made public claims that Obama's home country and birth place was in Kenya.I can't call Obama's own Kenyan grandma a liar. Sorry. I will believe her more than Barack - she has no motive to lie."
"Nice of her to admit what we already know."
"Well, there you have it -- right from Michelle's mouth and she should know where her husband was born.Good work, Lura, finding that."
Just a sampling of the wingnutification [not a word, I made it up] of A-merry-ca folks.
Maybe one day they will share what they are smoking with the rest of us. Maybe.

It wasn't a funeral, you dumb bitch, it was a ceremony for his well due honoring. Stop lying, he was not your grandfather, I know his family well.
assnon:
if they did that to a brain dead ass like you, that would be hauntingly and vulgarly redundant...wow!!!
Anybody got Pollen?
Lord Jesus help us today!
mr: while ME & VT do not disenfranchise convicts, the rest of the states have procedures that allow automatic restoration or indiv restoration upon application. at last check, several years ago, there were a few states that do not allow restoration for certain types of convictions. many felons do not know their rights and simply never register to vote or fail to apply for restoration.
ab: what about the 'legally wed het sodomites'? elaborate, i don't understand your inquiry.
assnons have no integrity or ethics
i do...so why would any pacifist who bashes hobama for war daily attend that military ceremony rather than our own intimate family celebration...
you mindless envious moron?
do u even know your dad?
g4j:
u seem to be bashing sodomy as if only hets engage in it?
millions of hets do and millions of gays do not?
if i want the same marital rights as hets how is that special rights?
I think you meant, "asses to ashes".
"many felons do not know their rights and simply never register to vote or fail to apply for restoration.

Thanks G4, I learn something different every day. Now I need to look up restoration for CA I have a cousin who was released from prison a few years back but he hasn't been able to vote. Maybe he MIGHT be able to if our state allows it...
mr:
if vitriol vexes u so...why do u ignore all the wilding assnons herein?
each day, they are the MOST vitriolic cowards herein!!!
why no lectures/analyses/lofty prayers etc...for them???
AB is under attack by assnons, she can't help herself.
AB, which assnon should MR spank first? Assnon, Assnon or Assnon?
I don't like being spanked.
Hey AB,
It's probably been about thirty or so of you comments since your last "kiss fn's butt" post. You're overdue.
You think we haven't all been noticing that, ever since he "spanked" you?

Most annons need to be ignored when they say stupid comments in my opinion. Again NOT ALL. Personally, I think they do it to get their rocks off and in some cases, yours too. AB just ignore them because I can guarantee you that they wouldn't spit half the bullshit they do in person to anyone. They come around me with some of the dumb shit they say, I will go "Street Pirate" on their asses! (Thanks, CF)

@ et al:
The topicof ex felons voting rights was too important an issue for me to pass putting up some much needed information:
http://felonvoting.procon.org/view.resource.php?resourceID=000286
The site will give yo state for state information. Please pass this to everyone you know. One of the isues I have been advocating for are restoring voting rifhts for ex felons. This has been anongoing process for me over many years...:)
And...
I don't suppose this 46 yo woman will ever see her rights resored (in keeping with the blog :)
Peace.
~agape2010~
Thanks Agape. I appreciate it.As to your last statement, what do you mean?
As to Rtnkd, he is right as rain. Alicia I have gotten on anonymous and other posters as well as myself before. YES MYSELF, so don't think I selectively pick on you. I got on MMM for calling Maria ethnic slurs, despite disagreeing with Maria on many issues. So you are being dishonest when you say I am only directing my attention towards you.
Even deeper though is your apparent refusal to change your behavior. I'm still praying that you will change your attitude and use your vitriol for positive change in society.
As to being a radio superstar, good for you. I never heard of you before but I don't listen to a lot of radio these days. I did live in Atlanta in 1994-1995 though and never heard of you then either. But the world is large enough to have niche markets.
My point remains, you don't have to insult people to get your point across.
mr:
your blatant lying is also vitriol
i RAN atl from 1994-1996 along with sean hannity

your envy is showing along with your evasions now...fyi
mr:
94-96 were glory days in atl that won NATIONAL press!!!
and you know it!!!
"Alicia Banks drops a weekly bomb fused with consciousness and sister melodies..." HUES MAGAZINE 11/1996

"Banks makes it her business to deliver music, news and commentary in a way that challenges...Her show has become ground zero for a fire storm of controversy...Banks has built an enthusiastic audience and won a second prime time talk show...."OUT MAGAZINE 6/1994
"Banks' programs are no ordinary talk shows...Her broadcasts are not to be taken lightly. She seems ready for anything. She is fearless..." DENEUVE MAGAZINE 6/1994
"Banks' program combines the voices of Dinah Washington and Billie Holiday with tribal songs, fictional readings, erotica, and political discussions. It is the politics which have caused a stir..." THE WASHINGTON BLADE 2/25/1994
Alicia, I am sorry but I have never heard of you until I started blogging. When I lived in Atlanta I listened to an alternative rock station I think it was Wild97 or something like that and also the Georgia State radio station because they played music that pleased me. Obviously there are niche markets for everyone.
You've taken what I said as an insult but it was simply the truth. Good for you that you've done well for yourself. The world is big enough for all of us. So no, I don't envy you at all.
You don't seem to be involved in activities that I would look into, which is why I likely never have heard of you even when we lived in the same city!
While you were on the radio I was a student studying physics and partying.
Ah...the magazine references you cite are unknown to me. Do you read Physics Today or the AMA publications? Or visit PNAS? These are mostly the things that I read at this point in my life, oh and blogs.

PNAS? Girl, I haven't read that since I was in college! LOL. A fellow math/physics geek? Who knew?
As for my geek badge, my mother got me subscription to popular mechanics in junior high and I spent way too much time in the IEEE publications on Medical Physics, Bioinformatics and Computer Science.
Because my job, most books I read are almost entirely IT and healthcare related -- though I recently read two great books on the Human Genome project.
MR, question. What are you doing with the physics degree these days?
Right now, I am at home with my boy until he speaks in sentences. I tutor math (K-Calculus) in my spare time. However, I've been considering a couple of things:
1.Going the actuary route and taking my tests starting this year...
2.Teach high school mathematics (which pays decently where I live because they are in short supply)
3.Finish balls out physics coursework and just go for the graduate degree(s)
In an ideal world, I would be able to do all of these things. However, at some point I have to decide what I will commit to and that is the dilemma. The PhD will take between five and seven years but if you want to work in PURE PHYSICS you need to have the PhD. One of my buddies is finishing up in 2014 and a few of my buddies have already passed through that door. I just need to make up my mind because my boy will soon be talking and my husband will find that sufficient reason to make ME the breadwinner! lol!!!
As to reading IT stuff, good for you! My mind doesn't really work that way. My husband is a software engineer and we can discuss concepts but the actual coding is UGH!!! I never got my head around it!
LAC thanks for laying out the history of how the banks were able to get with the Wall Street gang and gamble with our money.
Good info!
Agape- I worked on felon rights restoration in Florida its still crappy but its better than what they had. Believe it or not they still are able to disenfranchise folks who commit certain crimes including murder.
I can hear the moralists saying that makes sense but in reality its not about morality at all but about disempowerment.
The system is thinking ahead they know that many have figured out the twiddlee dee, twiddlee dum choices of Democrat and Republican are a sham, its why Ron Paul has gotten popular and the idea of voting and registering independent has caught on.
They realize that its possible for the bottom to get their act together and vote their butts out and actually set up a "real" representative gov't that will represent ALL the people.
Thus the efforts to disenfranchise folks who ironically have already paid their debt to society.
A very bright sister whose name does not come to me has written an article in the Nation (last month) entitled the New Jim Crow and I think she has written a book about it as well. She was interviewed on Bill Moyers Journal last weekend. If anybody gets a chance they should check it out. I think someone referenced it last weekend in an earlier post.
Granny I think you are right about Ron Paul. He is a sneaky kind of Libertarian.
Mellaneous I see what Granny says about Ron Paul and did not vote for him for those reasons. Yet, every dog has his day. The fact that he is one of TWO politicians on a national stage that call for auditing of the FED is a sad thing. Kucinich doesn't seem to be tied to fringe interests and has called for the same thing in many ways. Both of them are right although differ ideologically.
MR now I know why you used that word orthogonal on me the other day. I was thinking "what"? But I looked it up and I see you were trying to say that me and you were at right angles from each other. A cute way of putting it.
And MR you almost slipped it in but tell your hubby that whoa black folks are still an oppressed minority in the US.
We have to be careful with that word "think" it doesn't always have anything to do with the facts.(lol) I am just messing with you.
But I am serious about refuting the idea that black folks are oppressed. Black folks still are if you use the measuring sticks.
BTW your husband's reasoning sounds like too many white folks that I have read and heard before they were confronted with the reality of black life and not the fable that they had created in their own mind which was enhanced by their own prejudices!
MR good point about Ron Paul and Kucinich calling out the Fed.
What does that say about our so-called democracy when the people want the economic structure called on the carpet but the politicos are quietly backing their theivery.
Time for a real change! NO
Mellaneous:
The very bright sister that you referred to name is Michelle Alexander and she wrote that book I recommended to folks called, "The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration In the Age of Colorblindness. The book came out Jan 2010 and sold out by Feb at every bookstore in the USA, Canada, and even the Publisher is on back order. She is saying some of the stuff I've been telling people for a few years now regarding Prisons and the 13th and 14th amendment.
According to the 13th Amendment slavery never was really abolished. They threw a catch in it. The 13th amendment states:
Slavery and indentured servitude are abolished, EXCEPT if you commit a crime. Prisons are modern day plantations--free labor for corporations. Everytime you drive your car, your license plates are the product of that free labor.
Mellaneous, me and my husband disagree to an extent about the nature of oppression in this country. I still think that the prison and court systems are the last bastions of oppression for Blacks and Mexicans. He disagrees and thinks only Mexicans are actively oppressed in this country. His perspective is also skewed by the fact that he's lived in California all his life and is in a technical field. Whenever he sees another Black man they communicate. He has said up to this point, he has never seen a Mexican software engineer. And most of the menial jobs are given to Mexicans who are exploited via low wages and other exploitation. If an illegal gets abused, should they report the crime they could easily get deported. So I can see his perspective.
However, when I consider the lowered high school and college graduation rates for Blacks over the past decade and I see so many young Black men in prisons, I still think Blacks are oppressed but its been narrowed down to certain spheres.
Tell me, in what ways do you think Black people are still oppressed in this country? Please be general...we all saw the FN story about the gals in Mississippi who were imprisoned for like eleven dollars twenty years ago or something. UGH!
Thanks Granny I had written it down and others should go to the Nation website and enter her name and the subject and read the article she wrote on the subject.
Yes Granny I was really impressed with the sister and how well she presented her argument. And I was impressed by her seriousness. This is clearly something that is not just academic or scholastic to her, she is impassioned.
She appears to be solidly middle class and very well educated. My first thought was, why would sister with all she has going on take this issue on?
We need more educated and articulate folks like her willing to do the research and then speak out on behalf of the disenfranchised.
Granny I agree with your interpretation of those Amendments. Queen Valhara el Bey teaches that the 13th and 14th Amendments are ways to perpetuate silent imprisonment. I don't know if you agree with her on other issues, but on this, you both seem to resonate!
mellaneous:
"We need more educated and articulate folks like her willing to do the research and then speak out on behalf of the disenfranchised."
Amen, mellaneous, I totally agree with you on that. Not only that, I think that more educated folks need to get together and start building businesses and put some of their education to use in our neighborhoods and help rebuild them. Their talents could be an instrument in helping create more jobs for our people. I know if they were able to build prosperous and thriving businesses in Oklahoma, Wilmington, etc., back during the early 1900s with a mediocre education, blacks can do it now, if they put their mind to it.
@ MR:
I was referring to the woman that shot her neice on Easter Sunday (the blog).
If I were still a betting person I doubt that she will have her voting rights restored to her (if she is convicted of murder).
I say this because, as Mell stated, restoring ex felons voting rights has come a long way...but has an even longer way to go.
Example: In the state of Alabama, where I once lived, to have your rights restored you must apply with the first 30 days upon release (if you meet all the necessary qualifications).
This is not something a recently released prisoner will know becuase it is not information they seek. People who do get out want to now how they are going to have their basic needs met first. Voting is the furthest thing from their mind. It is also not information they would get from an Alabama prison.
To tie in how systemic the problem is...the prison population for South Alabama (just southern most Alabama now) rose the highest in the nation (I believe it was 888% according to Census and Dpt. of Labor) after the insitution of Clinton's 3 strikes law (3 strikes you get life).
Can you imagine how many black votes were taken away? There is a method to the madness. As Mell well knows, getting restorative rights for people is simply not a cakewalk of filling out the paperwork.
And...
I admire anybody that can 1)be a stay at home mom (so tough - I know because my mom was one and she had me:) and 2) can read anything about physics and understand it (that's a gift :)
Peace.
~agape2010~
MR that's a good question and I understand that you didn't agree with your husband.
I am going to try to answer that briefly cause I got to run got some spiritual/church work to do. This could actually be the subject of a book
Using discrimination as the proof we can point to the justice system in which the courts give young black offenders less benefit of the doubt that white offenders.
- the drug sentencing laws
- the mandatory minimums
- redlining for ex AIG and its subsidiaries were caught actually pushing higher interest loans on blacks who had good credit or had credit as good as whites who had the same credit rating.
- the ghettos I will have to expound later but let me point out that when whites were given incentives to move to the suburbs even blacks who could afford to move out of the "hood" were prevented. And the GI bill that allowed for the suburbanization of the US was not extended to black servicemen in the same way. See "When Affirmative Action was white" great book that explains this inequity.
- public education I don't have time to elaborate but suffice it to say that blacks are mired in inner cities where they are indeed more often not treated to a second class public ed.
- labor blacks are still the first hired and first fired.
- racial profiling
- higher education
- health care
-second rate service by business provider in the hood.
- black folks don't have the full free range of motion in the US there are some places that black folks are still afraid to be after dark.
MR you know the story and I am sure others can add to it or debate it if they wish.
I gotta run
"However, when I consider the lowered high school and college graduation rates for Blacks over the past decade and I see so many young Black men in prisons, I still think Blacks are oppressed but its been narrowed down to certain spheres."
Are you sure about this?
The graduation rates and imprisonment rates for blacks were HIGHER over the last decade than in previous times?
I don't think so.
I'd like to see some evidence.
Thank you Rigmaiden, I'll check out that link as soon as finish cooking. :) I'm in between in the kitchen cooking and checking the comments on this blog.
BTW, I think that you are a very sharp and intelligent young woman. I am really impressed that you chose to study physics as a major. You go gurl! Oh yeah, was you that once told us that your Dad's church was in Oakland. Because if you are the same person, I've been meaning to tell you for a long time now, that I've been to his church before. I attended a wedding there years ago.
FN,
Can I nominate Tiki Barber for HNOTD honors?
nrj:
thanks!!!
i wanted to share that with fn but i would have been called a racist unlike u
tb/oj/uts/sg upgraded from yellow to white...shame!!!
mellaneous:
BTW, I have that book, "When Affirmative Action Was White." Yes, it is a good, informative book to read.
Not_RJ, nomination accepted.
You can't leave your wife who is 8 months pregnant for a jump-off. You just can't.
LOL and Tiki and dem.
He traded one jump off for another. No crying river from me. She'll be fat with child support and a new white boyfriend before the year is out.
(Now I wonder if his wife was black instead of Asian, would it have still "touched" some of these male negros in the heart so much that they would have even cared to nominate him for an HN spot on the sidebar?)
laa:
ditto!!
yes for fn!
&
hell no for uts/sg et al!!!
Damn, once again you guys are talking about the race of his ex wife and the thing I was thinking about was his INFIDELITY!
mr:
we are talking about both!
as both are simultaneous and relevant!
pay attn!
