You are no different from those in the doublewides you chide, youre just working the other side of the street.<BR/><BR/> Im not sure why your gut burns so hot for the Duke kids. Their race, gender, intelligence or family wealth is beyond their control. Their parents worked hard and succeeded, they passed all the advantages that came with that to their children. Should they apologize for that? It seems to me thats how Capitalism works. Is it the somewhat boorish behavior that is common to most college kids that tightens your panties? If so, you must be overflowing with hate.<BR/> Could it be that they had the means to fight back against government corruption and societal racism? It seems like you kind of enjoy fighting that fight. Remember, overwhelming public opinion condemmed these boys. If your boy Austin was the recipient of even a fraction of the hate these boys endured you would be packing your rally posters and marching shoes as we speak. Only after evidence of a hoax was public did sentiment swing towards them.<BR/> Was it the underage drinking? Cant be. Im sure you saw the Gennarlow Wilson video and youre still on his side. Was it the noise statute violation the house got once that offended your sense of law and order? Probably not.

It started out decades ago as just Halloween for kids, then when the demographics changed, it became a very big gay event, then it morphed into a regional event for the Bay Area covering all demographics. It's gotten more crazy every year and last year a couple people were shot and the city pulled the plug. <BR/><BR/>So there's a big media blitz for the past few months telling the world there is no Castro party. The subway stations will be closed in the area, the cops are ready to bust heads if necessary, etc.<BR/><BR/>So who do I see on the TV news this morning but Mr. Un-named Black Man announcing to the world that no one is going to tell him where he can and cannot go and he will be in the Castro tonight. <BR/><BR/>So yes, he is certainly exercising his Constitutional rights.

We are saturated with television shows that depict black men swooning over white women and light -skinned black women. It's part of that historical culture that says "if you're white, you're alright, if you're black, stay back." I think mothers and fathers must teach their sons at an EARLY age that women, no matter what shade, color, hue, tone, whatever... must be treated with respect. We have simply got to do a better job of reaching out to our young people: our young women as well as our young men. White women, to many young black athletes, are seen as "forbidden fruit," and therein lies the attraction. Oh, there's so much we need to say to our children. I teach at an HBCU, and one of my courses is one which is required for a certain major, which a number of athletes are majoring in. Whenever I get an opportunity to combine the specifics of the course with some down-home, regular talk to the young men and women in the class, I make sure that I cover as much ground regarding this subject as is possible. You'd be amazed at how much they appreciate someone telling them these little snippets of information. They listen, but hopefully, when they leave the class, they will take with them more than what they came into class that day to learn. (And I'm a 54-year-old female professor, and I try and keep up with what's happening, pop culture-wise, so that when we talk, I can really converse and just not offer my views w/o knowing what's going on out there in their world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-51421329688221180752007-10-30T20:52:00.000-04:002007-10-30T20:52:00.000-04:00yes sir! you could say that again!!http://www.spym...yes sir! you could say that again!!<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.spymac.com/details/?2290046 " REL="nofollow">http://www.spymac.com/details/?2290046 </A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-7227595280710339792007-10-30T16:53:00.000-04:002007-10-30T16:53:00.000-04:00If the ass is too easy it usually means you'll be ...If the ass is too easy it usually means you'll be paying for it later...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-21458620355471981952007-10-30T16:05:00.000-04:002007-10-30T16:05:00.000-04:00I am really growing tired of rape allegations that...I am really growing tired of rape allegations that are being launched against male athletes.

And at the end of the day, it's all about having your priorities straight and a good head on your shoulder. <BR/><BR/>I know that's easier said that done, especially given the way these young men are pampered from an early age. When I was a young wipper snapper in high school, you couldn't tell me I wasn't going to play professional soccer in Europe, or be the next Jamaican to break the worlds' record in the 100 meter dash. But at some point reality has to set in. I played college soccer and I couldn't even dominate on that stage let alone a bigger one, so I knew then that I better hit those damn books. Some of these kids are such great athletes that they were able to get away with doing just enough all their lives. Now, sadly, it's too late to develop all those skills in the classroom that they needed from the jump.<BR/><BR/>But I agree with what someone previously posted. We need more educational counselors and mentors who look like these boys at some of these major institutions. Father figures who will stay on their asses and make sure they hit the books and keep their focus. <BR/><BR/>Because let's face it, these boys aint giving up the bright lights, face time on T.V., and thousands of screaming fans to go to smaller HBC. Even though at the HBC,they may get better mentors, smaller class sizes, and academic counselors who really care about their future. <BR/><BR/>"baatin", just shoot me an e-mail at fnblg@yahoo.com <BR/>whenever you want to holla at me.field negrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15411743587725023134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-42138810250405276352007-10-30T14:15:00.000-04:002007-10-30T14:15:00.000-04:00It's always an issue of options.

Black athlete may be no less talented or worthy than rich white Duke guy, but if both get accused of rape, leaving aside the racial dimension, look what happens.<BR/><BR/>Black kid plays in the NCAA, wants to sign with a professional team. Well, everybody has media images to maintain and corporate sponsorships to think about. If Kobe had gone through what he went through before he got established, and/or was only a mediocre B-baller as opposed to talented, he'd be out at the pressure of Wheaties and Reebok. Nobody wants their conference or their product associated with even a whiff of negativity. Rape charges don't whiff, they stink. And even after someone's been cleared, the association's been made in Johnny Consumer's mind... that's all that matters.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, Rich White Duke student's dad has a managerial position in some anonymous white-collar organization. Kid gets cleared, dad pulls some strings, kid starts making his money and no one cares because there's no image to maintain. He's not the "face" of the organization, the media/public doesn't care about the transgressions of some I-banker or management consultant, and life goes on.-Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16840304501190835065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-8148663479899032732007-10-30T13:58:00.000-04:002007-10-30T13:58:00.000-04:00hey field, seen this? btw, do you have a place (ca...hey field, seen this? btw, do you have a place (can't find it for the life of me) on the site where we can just drop you lines on stuff that we may wanna hear your thoughts on? keep on keeping on, and RIP Lucky Dube.<BR/><BR/>http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/file_on_4/7064473.stmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-13446950120729193922007-10-30T13:50:00.000-04:002007-10-30T13:50:00.000-04:00Say what you will about Reade Seligman et al, but ...Say what you will about Reade Seligman et al, but there are simply too many "5th year seniors" among us folks.
