MYCHAL BELL IS FREE!!

By L.T. Dinwiddie
Maybe they will let freedom ring after all. Mychal Bell has been released from a Jena, LA jail recently. Here are the facts from ABC News.

“We still have mountains to climb, but at least this is closer to an even playing field,” said the Rev. Al Sharpton, who helped organize last week’s protest.

“He goes home because a lot of people left their home and stood up for him,” Sharpton said.

District Attorney Reed Walters’ decision to abandon adult charges means that Bell, who had faced a maximum of 15 years in prison on his aggravated second-degree battery conviction last month, instead could be held only until he turns 21 if he is found guilty in juvenile court. FULL STORY

B*TCH WHAT FANBASE?!??

By L.T. Dinwiddie

Someone please tell this chick to sit the hell down. When asked about a re-release of her consumer panned sophomore album "Ms. Kelly" listen to what she had to say.

Kelly Rowland: I am actually. I'm going back into the studio to do some more songs. I was very apprehensive at first, but I swallowed my pride. The record industry is very different. Things are going more digital and I want to accommodate my fanbase.

And what fan base is that?

WHEN FLEETING CELEBRITIES RETRACT!!!

By L.T. Dinwiddie

Look who's trying to back tract now.

Firstly, I just want to apologize for how random my thoughts were in my last blog. I wrote what I did just minutes after a long heated discussion on the topic. I can hardly read the thing, it's so damn random!


I think it is HORRIBLE that people misunderstood my message. Just because I wanted to stop separating races, doesn't mean I want to STOP TEACHING HISTORY! Or schools need to teach MORE of ALL of it anyway! I was asking that we not name things to separate ourselves. I never claimed we shouldn't learn our own history, or that of all the other countries on earth (which we as Americans are pretty bad at). I am very aware of all the amazing things hat black people have done for our country, and we should always be aware of it. However, separating our races sounds like racism to me. It just does. So go ahead, claim I am the one who is ignorant for wanting us all to be EQUAL! Can you believe that? How does that make a fucking lick of sense? Honor your heritage, I know I do. Just make sure that by doing so, you do not seperate yourself from the rest of us! Black History to me would be everything that happened in AFRICA. I lived there for almost 5 months. Visted Robin Island, and saw the cell they held Nelson Mandela in. I witnesses first hand people calling these taxi vans "Black Taxis" and these nice taxi's "white taxis". Just vile.THAT is African(black if you will) history. African AMERICAN history is OUR history!

Yes, there was a time when racism ran rapid. It still does in some places. However, it is time for us to rise above it and BECOME ONE, instead of SOME. I wrote my last blog in such hurry and a fury because I felt what I was typing so deeply. I am appalled that anyone would claim I am just some stupid white bitch that doesn't know shit about anything. I did NOT grow up rich. I did NOT hang out with rich people. Watch the show "Roseanne" and you tell ME if that family seemed well off. That is just about where I came from. My family is blue collar all the way! Just because I worked hard to get where I am it means I don't know how hard it is to LIVE LIFE? I was addicted to drugs, raped, abused, beaten, etc. I DO NOT DWELL ON IT! I choose to rise above it! I have been beaten up for being "the white girl" a few times, so don't tell me I don't know how it feels to be discriminated against. FULL STORY

It is what it is Adrianne. As an African American male your thoughts do not surprise me. I've said it before, and I will say it again, There are still alot of people in this country who don't care about black people. The question is, what are we going to do about it.

Tyra gave this misguided soul a platform to voice her obviously ill informed opinion to the masses. We are in such a mess these days. Sometimes I feel like we are still back in the 60's, just more politically correct. Though the words have changed, the actions are still very evident.

JENA SIX, MY OPEN LETTER!!

Dear Bloggers,

With so much devastating news regarding the Jena Six recently, I have been totally overwhelmed with sadness and grief. It’s a new emotion for me, because I’ve never been one to get emotional over much that doesn't deal directly with who L.T. is or does. But I am; and in that sadness lies a great deal of anger towards some of my fellow bloggers’ irresponsible and reckless coverage of the unfortunate, racially charged acts of our recent time. Some have belittled the incident that occurred in Jena as just some “unfair fight that had 6 Black ganging up on 1 White kid”. Others are saying “violence is never the answer, no matter what someone says or does”. But to utilize your positions as a news source for many people and talk negatively, or not at all, about Jena Six puts my disappointment in a place of unmaintainable proportions. I never realized how much race relations could affect an individual until now, but alas here I stand.

The unfortunate incidences that have occurred in Jena, LA, Douglasville, GA and New Orleans, LA have reinforced a very disturbing and an obviously apparent fact about the United States of America. There are still parts of this country that don’t care about Black people. This country will continue to deliver harsh injustices day after day after day until their purpose has been served. What purpose that is, I don’t really want to say, because at the heart of it I truly cant put it into words.

For all the well-known African American bloggers that chose to overlook the unfortunate acts of Jena Six should be ashamed of themselves. Instead of using your platform to unify a people for equality and justice for all, some have decided to use their platform to drive the wedge of division even more between them and us. No one with an ounce of common sense, or compassion can look at ALL the evidence of this heinous situation and not determine that it wasn’t racially motivated. Some people are focusing on Mychal Bell’s prior criminal history, and are basing this incident with his previous one(s). But, I personally feel that’s not right or even the smart thing to do. Those incidences had nothing to do with three noose’s hanging from a tree in their high school. I stand before you all a very smart, articulate, and most importantly understanding human being. But I couldn’t tell you what my reaction would be if I were to come to a public school, a school that civil rights leaders like Malcom X or Martin Luther King, fought for me to attend and witness such blatant human disrespect.

The actions that took place in Jena, as unfortunate as it was, I believe were a result of a racist community that pushed young African American youth into a corner and they came lashing out. And for my Black bloggers to either ignore this issue, or to talk negatively about the Black men involved should be truly ashamed of themselves. I can’t tell you how to run your respective sites. But in this instance, if you aren’t going to choose to be apart of the solution please don’t become apart of the problem.

I hope this movie gives SITC fans what they want.

WHEN FLEETING CELEBRITIES BLOG!!!

By L.T. Dinwiddie
I don't like it when celebrities blog, because more often then not it's alway seems to show their I.Q., which usually isn't all that high. Take Adrianna Curry for instance. She was the first America's Next Top Model winner who went on to marry one of the brady's. Since then she really hasn't been up too much. Or if she has, she hasn't registered on my radar. That is until now. Check out Curry's rant on her myspace page recently:

“MY Boycott against BET and Black History Month

Because of my last blog, and all the wonderful feedback I got..it made me think…

This is gonna be hard guys. I LOVE the comedians on BET. I also LOVE the fact that they play my favorite show of all time, In Living Color. However, I do not believe in seperating ANY RACE in America. WE ARE AMERICANS! How dare we have Black History Month! In my eyes, the Native Americans deserve it MUCH more, seeing how we destroyed their ENTIRE SOCIETY. There are hardly any of them left! They also have been proven to have the WORST living conditions on their reservations. I want AN AMERICAN HISTORY MONTH. One where we learn about EVERY race, ALL OF OUR LEADERS, EVERYONE! I think by having a month dedicated to one race, and not one for any other, is RACIST. Every fund set up to only help people of one race is SICK and RACIST.

Yes, I get it. Black people were slaves here once. You know what? That does suck some major balls, however, it is time to move the fuck on. Do we hear the Jews crying that they were made slaves for thousands of years? Do we hear them whine that they should OWN the pyramids in Egypt because THEY broke their backs making them? Do we hear them bitch and moan about Hitler, etc? (my hubby is a Jew)Nope, we dont. It’s time for us to UNITE AS ONE. I do not think that singling out one race, giving one race opportunities to go to college (I know a TON of poor white.asian, indian, american indian, etc etc that could use that too!), giving one race the EXCUSE to blame things on others for being whatever nationality they are, is a good way at making sure we NEVER kill racism.

I am over this shit. WE ALL CAME FROM ONE BLACK WOMAN FROM AFRICA, THAT is our EVE! It has been proven by science, and I stand by it. If any other race had a chanel dedicated to just them, we would think it was racist. If any other race demanded a month be set aside for ONLY them, they would be considered racist. I am NOT living by this double standard any longer.

Think I am racist? I am not. I know what racism is. I dated a guy named “Justin” in Junior high. Nothing serious, but I really liked him. He was the blackest of black…BEAUTIFUL skin, kinda like Alex Wek’s. He was handsome, and athletic, etc. I was called a nigger lover. But you know what? I was called that by a whole 2 people out of a school with HUNDREDS of students. THAT is why I am NOT buying this racist shit anymore. Let us teach or children that there is NO DIFFERENCE! We are all human. I hope one day aliens land and try to kill us. Maybe THEN we would finally realize that WE are ONE. READ MORE OF HER NONSENSE HERE

I just love how white people always try to prove they are racist by acknowledging a black friend. "Oh I'm not racist, one of my good friends is black"...get the f*ck outta here with that.
