  • Great video!, I purchased and read her book THE NEW JIM CROW, and it opened my eyes to a lot of the institutional racism in our criminal justice system that I just was not aware of. HER BOOK IS A MUST READ!

    "Wesson denies newly drawn council districts are payback" (L.A. Times, 02-17-12). You are finally getting a taste of what you have done to the black community: ignoring them by protecting the economic interests of all other nationalities especially Latinos.

  • @amasonga

    Who do you think you are? I have yet to call anyone by that name. I have however called President Barack "the Magic Negr@" Obama, AKA "the Food Stamp President", "hat n hand handkerchief head negros", and/or other pseudo leaders, "Sellouts" because this is true, and it fits these individuals. I'm willing to bet John Thompson, like I, are not a fans of Clarence Thomas, BO, and/or multiple members of the Congressional Black Caucus, and rightfully so.

  • @MLL1127 Who do you think you are, calling people niggers? Please refrain from racialist stupidity.

  • Ya Right....Whitey did this, Whitey did that

    Capt. Bernice Abram who faces serious felonious criminal indictment, also has given her niece, Chantell White, bad leadership.

    Blacks like Capt. Bernice Abram, have gone to school, but evidently "school did not go through them" are destroying the Black community. To be successful a student, any citizen, must practice and make a reality of what is learned in school, otherwise he or she waisted his, her, and the teacher's time and expertise.

  • "Details emerge in case involving sheriff's captain placed on leave" by by Robert Faturechi, Los Angeles Times, January 30, 2012

    .....Capt. Bernice Abram tried to deflect law enforcement attention away from gang activity in Compton.

    Capt. Bernice Abram is protecting the drug dealers, while attempting to destroy any whistle blower, drug dealing and the aftermath being extremely destructive to blacks, and black community residents defend Capt Bernice Abram which is the height of perversion.

  • Other thoughts and truths by blacks to show Barack Obama should be removed from office, ASAP, tomorrow would not be too soon.

    Ceyseau & Inept Leaders

    The biggest and most destructive criminals in the "inner city" are not the low level gangmembers, etc., but rather a dysfunctional elected black leadership and misguided university educated black middle=class who promote anti-family, anti-Free Enterprise, unConstitutional/UnAmerican, and treasonous policies that is causing the U.S. born black community to become extinct.

    "With regard to AFDC the figures are: White 38.8%, Black 39.8, Hispanic 15.7, Asian 2.4

    other 3.3

    Keep in mind on 12.6% of the US is black (census bureau site) so few blacks in the US, but this tiny percentage is 39.8% of AFDC! Damn, niggers are lazy! Makin 7 babies with 10 different niggers then the nigger daddies don't pay child support!" by FightBadBehavior

  • inner-city black communities are the sources of the majority of criminal activity in this country.

    lets stop pretending otherwise.
