So, we’re on day 9 of Black History Month. February, the shortest month has been filled with stories, documentaries, and information regarding the people experiencing life as African Americans. The ever-present and the unfortunate increase of incidences of living while Black happened to Professor Gates in 2009; the charges may have been dismissed and Professor Gates may have agreed to sign off on a piece of paper or some kind of waiver … but we all know the PR lady and her department made arrangements for a press conference and on national tv she stated that they firmly believed the actions the police took were justified… was an awful decision least we talk about what did take place

There were reports that 6 officers were dispatched to Professors Gates property … 6?

questions still abound … why didn’t they know who lives in their police district? his home is in an affluent college neighborhood and as an Affluent Professor, he should have privileges … was it a disgruntled neighbor or someone driving by? Whoever it was, the dispatch has an obligation and should have taken time to find out who lived there and told the police to act accordingly. Unfortunately, this behavior is historic and horrific especially when the person in question is Black … Professor Gates arrest was a way to show him who was in charge and in control.

$20 to get off oil?

07/07/2010 Nativegrl77

President Obama has called for an end to America’s addiction to oil. We’re launching a new push to make sure Congress doesn’t squander this momentum. To get it going, we need 64 donations from Seattle—can you chip in $5?

Would you give $20 for a new energy policy that would get America off oil? How ’bout $5?

I ask because, after months—years—of deadlock, this is a moment when we could actually see a significant shift to clean energy. With the public outraged at the spill in the Gulf and President Obama calling for a renewed push for clean energy, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity.

So we’re putting together a major effort to take on the biggest stumbling block: the conservative Democrats, too many of whom still seem to be on the “drill, baby, drill” plan.

Specifically, we need about $185,000 to turn up the heat in their districts—to provide materials for volunteers, organizers to help them out, and hard-hitting ads to let voters know where they stand.

This is the most important moment for clean energy in decades. To hit our goal, we’ll need 64 donations from Seattle—can you chip in $5?

After the Gulf oil spill, Congress wasn’t even talking about doing what we need to really get off oil. But after weeks of organizing by MoveOn members and many others, President Obama has put this goal front and center.

But we know that Congress won’t stand up to the Big Oil lobbyists unless voters demand it. Here’s some of what we have in mind:

Ads: We’ll run ads with photos of members of Congress who are taking money from Big Oil.
Rallies: We’ll join with grassroots organizations across the country to organize massive demonstrations for clean energy.
Media: We’ll make sure local newspapers report on which members of Congress are supporting action to end our dependence on oil.

But we need to raise at least $185,000 to get it going. Can you chip in $5? Click here to donate:

more so-called MJ friends? claiming rights?

08/09/2009 Nativegrl77

does dna prove anything? these men were sperm donors, nothing more

cable tv with gossip reporter cortney hazellett reports that mark lester has the most right of any of the men coming out to voice their opinion on these kids? felt he wasn’t being heard so he took it public? was she biting her tongue while she said that? … it’s obvious she has no children because this is not the way to handle your business, especially if you truly care for the object of your intention

… ok he was the godfather of the kids and had plans this summer … ok Hello … MJ died? right? things change and a lot has to be dealt with, he is proving how not to behave … you do not take your case public to get attention… hazlett states he couldn’t get through? maybe he couldn’t get what he wanted?… shameful behavior

a few so-called friends have decided to make the lives of MJ’s kids even harder to endure… while it’s quite clear and apparent to all of us but these men that Katherine was given permanent custody just like MJ asked … these men feel going public was the best or only way to handle paternity questions?

it’s irresponsible, it’s sick, insane and inconsiderate of these kids and the Jackson family as a whole.

what is their motive?

connections, questions and more

08/05/2009 Nativegrl77

can’t seem to shake that eerie feeling, somethin aint right …

the stories … of Paris being born at a sleep clinic, the connection of dr conrad to this sleep clinic as well as the connection between dr klein, debbie rowe and now dr conrad is connected to both… has me worried … why did d.rowe go to a sleep clinic to have a child? and was dr conrad involved? and why did d.rowe go to dr klein’s office so close to the hearing …some say timing is everything

knowing everyone is innocent until proven guilty… gotta wonder what is going to happen in September… here’s hoping that tmz and others will continue to look for the connections …

people are wondering why d.r. didn’t ask for additional money and gave permanent custody to kj… so they said, last time the courts stated she could not because of Cali state laws… so, what changed? is klein going to ask for what he may think is due to him?

i watched dr klein plant his seed of doubt on larry king live now he has an attorney get him on the record at the hearing … disgusting … this guy is begging for someone to ask him why was his lawyer really at the custody hearing … what’s his motive?

we all know blood does NOT always matter … this is not over by a long shot …
