I’m shocked! Shocked! That money donated to six thugs were misused:
Just weeks after some 20,000 demonstrators protested what they
decried as unequal justice aimed at six black teenagers in the
Louisiana town of Jena, controversy is growing over the accounting and
disbursing of at least $500,000 donated to pay for the teenagers’ legal
defense.Parents of the “Jena 6″ teens have refused to publicly
account for how they are spending a large portion of the cash,
estimated at up to $250,000, that resides in a bank account they
control.Michael Baisden, a nationally syndicated black radio
host whois leading a major fundraising drive on behalf of the Jena 6,
has declined to reveal how much he has collected. Attorneys for the
first defendant to go to trial, Mychal Bell, say they have yet to
receive any money from him.Meanwhile, photos and videos are
circulating across the Internet that raise questions about how the
donated money is being spent. One photo shows Robert Bailey, one of the
Jena 6 defendants, smiling and posing with $100 bills stuffed in his
mouth. Another shows defendants Carwin Jones and Bryant Purvis modeling
like rap stars at the Black Entertainment Television Hip-Hop music
awards last month in Atlanta.The teenagers’ parents have
strongly denied that they have misused any of the donated money.
Bailey’s mother, for example, insisted that the $100 bills shown in the
photograph were cash her son had earned as a park maintenance worker.~~~“There
are definitely questions out there about the money,” said Alan Bean,
director of a Texas-based group, Friends of Justice, who was the first
civil rights activist to investigate the Jena 6 case. “I hate to even
address this issue because it inevitably will raise questions as to all
of the money that has been raised, and that is going to hurt the
defendants.”
Robert Bailey, park maintenance worker, with some 100 dollar bills stuffed in his mouth:
which claims all the money went to lawyers. All well and good but tell
me how the above part-time student, part-time park worker had all that
money to put into his mouth to show off?
Puhlease….
Common sense here would tell you that the money was distributed and then thrown at the parents and kids to get more bling. As the photos making their way across the web clearly demonstrates.
As for the article, the term parents used by the author to describe those responsible for raising these thugs is quite laughable, and pathetic. Even more pathetic is the fact that 20,000 people demonstrated at the behest of thugs like Jesse Jackson against the criminal justice system that convicted other thugs. What are these people thinking?
Mychal Massie writes at WorldNetDaily about the skewed sensibilities in the country’s black community:
Be a black thug — beat a white student senseless — you and your
families get rewarded with an all-expense-paid “getaway for a relaxing
weekend” while they watch you hand out awards on BET to a standing
ovation. After all, six black thugs damn near killing a “white boy” in
an unprovoked, cowardly attack can be tiring and stressful. But be a
black student who works hard, gets good grades, speaks proper English,
refuses to stoop to the lowest common denominator, and you are accused
of “acting white.”
Have a 21-count indictment for child pornography in Chicago and
indictments in Florida for same, with videos of your (alleged) sexual
acts with minors selling on the street corners, and the NAACP will give
you its Image Award (evidence: R. Kelly).But be a black woman who enrolled at the University of Denver
at age 15, who is fluent in Russian, has served three presidents, is an
accomplished pianist, was a former provost of Stanford University, has
written several books on international relations, is the former
assistant to the president of the United States for national security
affairs and today serves as the secretary of state, and you are called
a sellout, which is the kindest of the pejoratives you are called. But
declare yourself a “bitch and a ho,” make a salacious music video and
you will win a Grammy award.
I don’t see the culture changing much as long as thugs are celebrated, their actions excuses, and actual achievement is disparaged.
