: JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) — A white farmer who threw the body of his fired black worker into a lions' pen has been freed on parole after less than three years in prison.

The case drew worldwide attention and impassioned protests from demonstrators who saw the killing as another racial attack in a country still grappling with its apartheid past.

Mark Scott-Crossley was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2005 for assaulting Nelson Chisale, a former employee, and throwing his body to lions at his game farm who devoured him. The Supreme Court of Appeal reduced the sentence to five years, saying there was no proof Chisale had been alive when he was fed to the animals.

According to trial testimony, Chisale had been fired from Scott-Crossley's construction business at the game farm and returned two months later to collect his belongings. When he did, he was attacked with machetes and tied to a stake, where he was left bleeding for six or seven hours before being thrown into a lion enclosure.

Only Chisale's skull and some gnawed bones and bloody clothing were found.

Another farm worker was sentenced to 15 years for carrying out the assault, but the trial judge said Scott-Crossley was the mastermind.

The Confederation of South African Trade Unions slammed his release. "It is clear that those who are rich and white will continue to be treated differently to those who are poor," it said.

COSATU criticized the fact that the Supreme Court had indicated that Chisale was dead before he was thrown to the lions, but did not rule on who killed him.

A prison official, Sarie Peens, was quoted as telling the South African Press Association that Scott-Crossley was moved from Baberton Prison and taken to a "reintegration" office where he was met by his family Thursday.

The report did not give a reason for his early release. It is common in South Africa for convicts to be freed early to ease prison overcrowding.

"He is now being placed under strict conditions on parole until completion of his sentence," SAPA quoted Peens as saying.

They're phsyical with us. We talk about them. They infect our way of living. We distrust them. At the end of the day blacks are being made to look like we're just angry for no reason..even made out to be this way by other blacks.

This is what they do. Whether it being killing us or infringing upon our rights/income. They're the true racists. Yet if I call a white person a devil, I'm the one keeping racism alive.*rolls eyes* I've said this since the beginning. No one says anything when ish is being done to us. It's always the ones to "clapback" who get looked down upon. I don't expect anything to change. Just funny when folks are running around saying it's 2008...why won't we let stuff go?" *smirk*

This happened in 2005 NOT during slavery. I need to remind some of y'all this since y'all make it seem since slavery ended, everything is all good!


THE_WAY

Thank you *** and sexy41

I've said the same things before regarding President Mugabe's plans in Zimbabwe and Blacks being God's TRUE chosen people. The fact that this man was attacked for simply returning for his property was savage enough. However, the why he was tortured and subsequently killed, highlights the depraved and devilish nature of the so called white human being. The slap on the wrist this pale beast received, also once again proves that we as Black folks should not wait and hope in blind faith to receive justice from these people.A BREED of supposed humans,who quite frankly until they came in contact with people of color in large numbers, were treating THEMSELVES with savage indifference.


Jamiejo86

This is ashame shows you things may have changed some but there will always be that little bit of ignorance that will keep us 1 step behind sad yes we are free but we still have those who feel that we will never truly be free and we are only good for slavery!

This is so fu<ked up on so many levels. Even if the man was dead that means you're supposed to feed him to lions??? That was a human life not an animal!!! What happen to giving his body back to his family so they could have laid him to rest. That was a very harsh way to die and all that were involved need to be put under the jail or givin the same treatment as the victim.

They are stil doing the same injustice in America. No matter what he was killed and they should be punished.

racisim is alive all over this world , as long as white folks think they are superior and we keep allowing them to think that these are thing you will hear happening . Afrika is the country I love but those people are so brainwashed from colonisim Afrikians cannot even get along with each other just like America we are so brainwashed we hate on each other really bad and people all over this world look @ us and shake theirs heads . we need to stand up and face this world as a people and stop trying to assimilate then the world will take notice that we are humans instead of the animals they think we are. long live all people of color who are original Afrikans

The Word For You Today Friday, August 22, 2008

"Do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!" Isaiah 43:18-19 NIV

Getting Past Your Past (1)

When God determines your future, He doesn't consult your past. Mary Magdalene was a known prostitute. But after Christ redeemed her she became one of the last people to leave the Cross (see Mt 27:55-61) and one of the first to discover and announce His resurrection (See Mt 28:7). Because she embraced Christ and the future He offers all of us, she's been mentioned with honor by every ensuing generation. Peter was a fisherman with a hair-trigger temper and some anti-social tendencies. Yet God filled him with so much spiritual power that when he preached, multitudes came to Christ (See Ac 2:40-41). Jacob lived up to his name "deceiver." But God gave him and extreme makeover and changed his name to Israel, which means, "A Prince with God" (See Ge 32:24-30). Ruth was a Moabitess who grew up worshipping idols - not a promising start. But after to turning to serve the true God, she became part of the ancestry of King David and our Lord Jesus (See Mt 1:5). Zacchaeus, a well known embezzler, hosted Jesus *** in his home and ended up becoming a philanthropist. And how about Paul? Killing Christians didn't put him off limits to God. As an apostle he wrote over half of the New Testament by divine revelation, was taken into heaven where he saw incredible things (See 2Co 12:1-4), and when aprons and handkerchiefs taken from his body were placed on the sick they were healed (See Ac 19:11-12). Now, if God could do all that for "people with a past," He can give you a new beginning too!

There was no evidence he was alive when he was fed to the lions? Does it matter? Dead before the lions-foul play. Dead after the lions-foul play.

Even in other countries white people are doing black people dirty and getting away with it. One day someone is going to knock one of them out because enough is enough. Black people deserve life too.

Getting Past Your Past (1)

When God determines your future, He doesn't consult your past. Mary Magdalene .....ETC ------------------------- SEE THIS IS WHAT EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT. WHITES ARE EVIL BY NATURE THATS A HISTORICAL FACT AND BLACKS ARE LOVING BY NATURE. BUT WHITES WERE THE ONE SMART ENOUGH TO USE OUR NATURE AGAINST US AT THE SAME TIME MAKING US INTO THEM WITHOUT KNOWING. IT'S GOOD U RESITE THE BIBLE BUT THE BIBLE IS FULL OF METAPHORS, AND ONE NAME REPRESENT TRIBES AND NOT ONE PERSON. I MEAN THE BIBLE IS MISSING LOTS OF CHAPTERS IN THE BIBLE. GENIUS WAS THE SECOND MAKING OF MAN. THAT'S WHY IT SAYS "let US make man" THE WAY IT'S PHRASED IT'S ASKING PERMISSION. BLACKS ARE THE ORIGINAL PPL OF THE EARTH EVERYONE ELSE IS "MANKIND". THIS MAN NEED TO HAVE DONE LIFE IN JAIL BUT HE'S NOT CUZ HE'S WHITE AND THE GUY HE KILLED WAS A POOR BLACK MAN. SO RECITING THE BIBLE IS WHAT THEY TAUGHT US TO DO AND THATS GO BY THE BIBLE SINCE THEY ARE THE ONE'S THAT MADE IT INTO THEIR "VERSIONS".

BLACK IS THE CREATOR OF ALL COLORS. WE CREATED THIS BEAST AND NOW WE LIVING DAY BY DAY WITH THE HELL IT CAUSES AND THE HELL IT TAUGHT US TO DO IN OUR OWN COMMUNITIES.

WTF... this world is... I don't even have a comment for that. He only got three years because there was no proof? What about respect for human life--- ok, the guy is dead-- what about respect for him as a person. ***, this world is insane. I can't believe people are still focused on racism and this black/white thing. Maybe I'm naive, but ***. Doesn't anyone have anything better to focus on-- like trying to survive out here in this recession. How about coming together and doing something positive to END what we hate the most. ***. That's just some outright, disgusting ***.

Seems like everyone forgot the feeling that we all felt for 9/11. Everyone came together and it wasn't about black/white (unfortunately it became about ARAB) but, we came together and we all felt the same pain. What happened to that? We aren't those same people anymore?

Everyone is so worried about the next person being a racist, that their fear is what initiates it to begin with.

God don't like ugly, that's all I have to say.

@DeadC No! We're not the animals,THEY ARE!

Let's be clear. It's not about racism people,it's about White people's sick lust to kill. They've evolved from religious cultures that promote and glorify war.To this day, they still speak with pride about their ancestral worshiping of war Gods like Mars(Roman) and Odin(Norse/Germanic) for example. If not Blacks, it would be Moslems or maybe Jews or Native Americans. Take all these groups out of the equation and whites would revert back to preying upon one another, like they did in the Dark Ages. THEY HAVE A DEMONIC LUST FOR BLOOD. Again, let us be clear.As the saying goes,"Man is the only one of God's creations that kills for sport". That quote was originally made by a white man,with white men in mind.Just think,are there any other groups of people around the world,that make a sport out of hunting? Unless we understand the root cause of their sick and twisted pathology,we as a people will constantly play the role of sheep to their wolf.

@CoCo360 Good point about the cowardly Negroes.

Although this topic hasn't received hundreds of replies, I'm glad it's gotten this much. I'm tired of seeing "10 comments" under crucial issues. I thank all of you. There are times to cut up and then there are times to buck up.

Realwoman---I feel you. I been saying that about the, "We are the world-ers". Never anywhere to be found during times like this. Full of it!

Akan5---Yes. They are inherently evil. We have many savages in the black community, but the difference is they're made NOT born that way. White people run the world and they're still not happy.

Now let another *** tell me, "Why does race matter...we're all the human race." I swear, let me get out my bible....

@ trooper tahts right about us being the original man and thsi johnny come lately cave man, wicked white devils being created by us.. Go to genesis chapter 5 It say god created he ,she tehm and called tehre names adam..That tells you that adam was a race of people and not a skinny, naked pale face white dude!! Adam represents the white race causing problems in the motherland(garden) and being cast out to europe!! America is a sea of sin and that same water of wickedness, and devilshment have flowed over into our rivers thus making it impossible to tell the difference between our pure water and there filthy water.. In other words we have become just like them *** near..That's why the scriptures say "we were born into sin and raised in iniquity" We are naturally righteous by nature but made wicked by this wicked,stale face ,pale face,un natural, garfetd devil!!


GuessJeans

This man should receive the death penalty if you ask me. However, most of you *** "death to YT" and "YT are demons" need to get a clue and realize that the issues that plague black america are much MORE COMPLEX and intricate than merely white vs. black. Unfortunately, the whites control most of the wealth and economic power around the world. Africans are not totally free from any blame. If it weren't for some of those SELL-OUT leaders In Zimbabwe, *** and other countries in Africa, white dominance may have never been as big of an issue as it is today. AFRICANS AND BLACKS SHARE BLAME AS WELL and WE ARE NOT SO INNOCENT. When will we as black folks, learn to STAND UP together and unite against unjustice? WHY do we wait for our sorry leaders to do so? WHY are we so complacent with YT doing us dirty? We make up 15-20 million in the U.S alone and yet when there is an injustice against us, we talk about it for a day or two then its dropped. We are TOO FORGIVING and do not CHALLENGE the system and DEMAND respect from YT.

The JEWS and ASIANS do not have this problem because whenever an injustice befalls on of them, you can bet they got that person's back and will actually COMPLAIN to their mayor, city official, to congress about any unjust issues and/or discriminations.

By nature we are LOVING. But we should NOT equate loving with FORGIVING and TURING A BLIND EYE. We want to sit back and quote the bible (which by the way has way too many editions) and think that all our problems will miraciously dissappear. NO! We live in this world right now and we have to FIGHT for justice.

What's happening in this thread reminds me of the old family squabble. The black family who's loud and talks down to each other. There's always that one person within the family who's like, "Man, my family is the WORST! I wish I was part of Adam's family. They're so full of together-ness." Then when stuff hits the fan, it's that same loud obnoxious family you wished gone who's suiting up and fighting if need be.

Take DuceConstant for instance, he's not as polished and refine as some of the other "conscious" brothers on this site. Some might think him too brazen...but looks who's here? ;)

@ trooper tahts right about us being the original man and thsi johnny come lately cave man, wicked white devils being created by us.. Go to genesis chapter 5 It say god created he ,she tehm and called tehre names adam..That tells you that adam was a race of people and not a skinny, naked pale face white dude!! Adam represents the white race causing problems in the motherland(garden) and being cast out to europe!! America is a sea of sin and that same water of wickedness, and devilshment have flowed over into our rivers thus making it impossible to tell the difference between our pure water and there filthy water.. In other words we have become just like them *** near..That's why the scriptures say "we were born into sin and raised in iniquity" We are naturally righteous by nature but made wicked by this wicked,stale face ,pale face,un natural, garfetd devil!

Preach bro! It also says let us make man in our image. White folks are mankind a kind of a man. That's why the astronauts say one giant step for man a bigger for mankind. Yes genesis which is genes of isis mentions the white race. The devils been plotting on their mother/father god/goddess race since they've been around.


GuessJeans

@Duceconstant- Now brother you going a little overboard with that talk! Sure White people are humans. They have negative qualities in their character and a twisted mentality that's all. Every race has faults. The black race is too forgiving and sweet in my opinion. Ever since slavery, some of our own people will willingly sell us to slave buyers. You got ignorant black africans in Darfur for instance killing each other in the name of ethnic cleansing! YT supplies them with ammunition and they just kill each other. WHY haven't they stopped and asked themselves why are brothers killing themselves???? It's sad that we aren't as CUNNING as WHITE FOLKS!!! Just like in Iraq. Sunnis and *** lived peacefully for some 100 years. Now all of a sudden, they fighting. Seems pretty suspect why they seem to start fighting ONCE THE STATES entered their country?! WOnder why they never bothered to ask themselves this question.

You see Conscious1 that is because Deuce may not have been one of those 'bookworm' type of brothers but he still has more sense than many of those types. I love men like him because they usually have a nice blend of book and street smarts. He is the type who isn't worried about coming off too 'negroe' sounding or trying to prove that he reads sometimes...it is just straight thought.


GuessJeans

Yall can ignore me all you want but I know some of yall know what I'm talking about.


realwoman

GuessJeans no offense sister but maybe you need to read a little more into the slave trade....

The whole slave trade system was supposed to be one of indentured servitude of ANY race(you know kinda like a live in maid) and those sold into this from Africa were captured POW's of another tribe. They weren't just going around the village and selling their family members. They were selling their enemy regardless of race. If they captured a white man then he too would have been up for sale. Got it? This was a business catered to those looking for labor.

Now when you figure in the racial aspect of it, that was completely white/spanish driven. The MISTREATMENT of the indentured servent turned SLAVE is what made the Africans discontinue their trade agreements with whites and spanish. However, this had turned too profitable for them so they in turn started STEALING Africans and only cared that they were Black. Meaning they stole royalty wading in water, wives of warriors, children walking back to their home with a yam. This is where the true injustice lies.

Also Darfur's war is one fueled by religious differences and it was the muslim Arabs who got that going.


HUEmanbro

guessjeans, I agree with u when u say we are to forgiving, but we'll bash and kill our own before we would do someone of the Caucasian race. We love to kiss up to them look for their approval for things when they are the most corrupted,vile and despicable beings to ever walk this planet.


HUEmanbro

Real women, they also stole inventors,genius,scientist etc.. how do you think Amerikkka got build? White folks certainly didn't build it.

Yup, yup. He's also the type to surprise you with knowledge the white washed brothers don't have. Like those in corporate America who think they're the stuffing because they know how to crunch numbers and have 6-figure salaries. Duce will come in and kick some knowledge they ain't never heard before.

(Think the scene from Barbershop with Jimmy and Ricky)

lol @ conscious1...yes he does. I like that refreshing blend and the fact that he stays CONSTANT. Not one day he is ride or die for his people then the next day 'oh who cares about race and all that stuff guys, let's just hug!' BLAH!


STAYPOPPIN01

One of the main reson's they have a foot on out neck is because we spend our $800 billion a year with them, and they don't spend a dime with us. THEY HAVE THEIR MONEY AND OURS.

We have the resources to empower ourselves financially, but continue to line his pockets while he turns his back and locks all of the doors of opportunity to us!


STAYPOPPIN01

* ONE OF THE REASON'S THEY HAVE THEIR FOOT ON OUR NECK


GuessJeans

@ realwoman- Thanks sister for spreading some specifics into what actually took place during Slavery. However, once we digressed from indentured servent to slave, our fathers STILL SOLD OUR AZZES out and that is a tremendous injustice. My whole point is that there is blame everywhere regarding slavery from the European to the Black man. I was off about Darfur but hell look in our own communities sister, things aren't that different. Blacks killing, ***, and tearing down their own fellow black man while YT in the meantime concoct LAWS and pass mandates that will undermine the black man's progress in this country. So we as black folks are not absolved of any blame. There is an accountablity issue that we have to deal with first before we can even take on our issues with YT.

@conscious- I appreciate his (Duce) comments some times. Some brothers such as StayPoppin and Papamurf slowly put daggers in my heart LOL (you'll know what I mean if you ever read their comments).


Conscious1

@ STAYPOPPIN01

Off topic but I just love the way you're standing in your picture. Every time I see it, I see the words, "I am man." LOL

It's a good look bro.


GuessJeans

@Staypoppin- You're right in this case. Sometimes you seem full of self-hate but you're right here. YT is letting it be known he's the BOSS and we are forever indebted to him. It's sad but true. This is why we need our own businesses (starting with banks). Otherwise, we'll forever have this daddy/child relationship with yt.


STAYPOPPIN01

All they understand is money! We're numbers and dollar signs to them, that's it!

Support black businesses and get involed in black social clubs immediately if you thinking of starting your own business so your business known with suppoters. THAT'S WHAT THEY DO, AND IT'S BEEN VERY SUCCESFUL FOR THEM!

Having your brother's/sister's back financially is a strong start to completing the goal of being independent of the white man!

They look at us like we're dependent on them, and like they don't have to worry about us because they have our money in their pockets and not in our own, they laugh all the way to the bank!!!

I don't understand...Blacks moved from indentured servent to SLAVE AFTER being removed from Africa. I was fortunate to meet a king from Western Africa who was basically touring the states making apologies for Africans involvement in the slave trade. He shed light on alot!

We are quick to demonize the Africans for their part in it, but if these same shady people never let on to their racism how would they have known what true torturous treatment their POW's would have received. The Africans didn't think the white man would mistreat these people just because of the color of their skin. That is not how they operate and that is not how they thought others operated. It was more about clashings of thought moreso than jealousy of superior physicality with Africans.

We need to separate FIRST then tackle our problems within the race...problems that were precipitated and made worse by envious sneaky 'observers'.


GuessJeans

@Realwoman- Ok.. I had to reread your post now I understand it. Preach on sister you definitely know your stuff lol.


GuessJeans

@realwoman- You ever see those men on here that are so pro-black this and that, yet when there is a story about black men being down with the swirl, they readily singing "love is colorblind". I don't want to call nobody out. But some of these types bother me too.


realwoman

@GuessJeans Oh yes gurrrlll! lol I see their hypocritical a$$es! They are all over whites when it is a brother being wrongly persecuted, killed, attacked in AMERICA but they get over the blatant racism to sing the praises of interracial relationships once they involve a black man that is...THEN have the nerve to preach about hypocrisy?? SMDH..

It's almost like they think that white men are the only ones gunning for their demise...they forget all the stories of false rape and then wrongful lynchings of thousands of Black men due to the lies and racism of so many white women...how quickly we forget! This was stuff that was going on only a few decades ago!


GuessJeans

@Realwoman- I know girl. *** shame. I was commenting on one story about Mary J Blige. Anyway, it was a bad photo so I mentioned that I never found her that attractive. Here come the same so called pro-black afrocentric men agreeing with me and making comments about Mary J being hit and "tore up". Girl, two days later they had that story on Will smith and his alleged affair or whatever with Charlize Theron.

Those same pro-black men were commenting "she's fine", "get it Will", "She's a dyme". Yet when a black woman mentioned that she was disrespecting Will, some of these men had the nerve to defend her and call us haters and full of spite. Girl I can go on and on about some men and their hypocrisy lol.


Conscious1

LOL @ GuessJeans and Realwoman

Y'all sound like y'all gossiping on the phone...privately. Too funny.

I know who y'all talking about. I see right through them. The crew of 5. They as fake as Lee press ons. Not POPPIN though. He a good dude just a little jaded by what he saw growing up so it's a pet peeve. If you saw all the girls dissing black men for "others" because they had the money, it would shape your mind...in a negative way. It just would. He loves black women...just not those kinds and rightfully so. It really isn't unlike how we see whites doing stuff and grow to dislike them.

All I'm gonna say is........ read the Isis Papers by Francis Welling.

@Conscious- Maybe I misjudged StayPoppin but some of these other brothas... And some will do it I think to intentionally spite a black woman. I've read comments from one guy (won't mention name) and he's talking about how he just got out of this relationship with this petite blonde. The topic had absolutely nothing to do with white females. This same dude got into this heated battle with me regarding the L'Oreal Beyonce story. Afterwards, he labeled me along with other black women who disapproved of the L'Oreal white beyonce ad as ***.A.B.W.H. (national association of black women haters)! LOL some of these guys get underneath my skin but what can you do.. lol

WE AS BLACKS NEED TO WAKE UP AND GET THE KNOWLEDGE OF SELF SO U CAN THEN LEARN THE KNOWLEDGE OF OTHERS AND THEIR NATURE. SO WHEN THEY SAY DUMB *** LIKE *** U CAN LAUGH AND TEACH THEM ABOUT THEMSELVES. CUZ THEY WANT U TO HIT THEM AND GET MAD SO THEY CAN SUE AND LOCK U UP.

HAHAHAHA our very own Papamurf. At first I thought, he's just aloof. A free going guy who just likes to have fun. So I tried to give him a pass. But let me tell you, when I saw that ***.A.B.W.H. sig, I had nothing left to say to him. I don't even address him anymore. I'm sure he's happy for it. LOL

I won't say I and some others were always showing unity when we said negative things about black males. I have no defense other than I was being reactionary and "clapping back" because women were just being attacked. Yes, black women would attack certain males (the person in the MTO headline story) and in doing so, would attack others like him by calling them, "self-hating". Not that it's right but that doesn't equate to calling all black men self-hating, but here comes the saviors ready to rip. And contrary to what they believe, there are men who are like that. Just because they don't "Young Berg" and say it doesn't mean that issue doesn't need to be addressed. What better time than that IR topic? I mean women are crazy, what type of feminine issues must you have to want to go toe to toe with women? You didn't see brothers like The_Way taking it as we're saying he's specifically soft. In fact, he'd jumped in and clock a mixed and confused mutt who was talking down. A man has to be a man at all time. I'm not saying women acting like men and jumping up in their face is any better. but the end of the day, I am a woman...I am not thought in high regards as the almighty strong male. You sinking down to my level makes you less manly.Period.

Then the others want to cosign with Amber85 talking about some, "I have to say AMEN to all of that". I was like, "Really you saying AMEN to miss we are the world, when she's saying we need to get over ourselves and stop the madness? As if you don't know her men are the ones *** you over?" They weren't agreeing because they don't know the struggles. And on any other time, if we were discussing being black in Amerikkka and she came with this, "You guys need to get over yourselves. Everything is fine" they would've been like she doesn't have a clue what it's like being a black man. But because she was furthering their cause and joining in on the "beatdown" of black women, they let it ride. Then some of them are waiting for us to call MixedLove and Whitemanlover out. What kind of man wants to see women bruised and is salivating over that thought? I do understand they feel we're beating up on them and they are over it but think about it, what kind of man gets pleasure over seeing women told off? I kid you not, some of them were getting hard ons watching others like Cincity, Whiteprincess, and Amber85 stand up to the "big bad bitter black ***".

I may pop off, but I would never have seen a white man come on here talking down and not put him in his place; letting him know he doesn't measure up. They made these white women feel like they're the ish and for all the wrong reasons. Then they telling PinkPuffyLips who look oh so DIRRTY and John Candy's lil sister to holla at them. WTF?????


GuessJeans

Conscious preach on!!! I wish I could slap one or two of these so called pro black men just to wake them back up into reality. They get all defensive when we argue at white female bloggers. Yet when one white girl (who frequents this site) mentions something slick (you know underhanded but it's racist), NOTHING is said from these same loud and in your face black men. LOL..Girl all I can do is laugh to stop the hurt. Hurt, because I experience this type of *** in real life be it school, shopping, amongst friends, etc. It's all good though. One day these men will get a REALITY CHECK and guess what? It'll be someone WHITE that will CHECK them back to earth.


GuessJeans

Girl I feel you on that! It's almost like black man feel validated or worthy when a white female come to his "defense". I see that mess all the *** time. My man is Italian and when that is mentioned, those same brothers say "He gonna use you " and "get his pleasure and dump yo ***" as if I'm beneath my man and unworthy of genuine love! These men are at times pathetic.

That's a horrible way to die!!!

@Trooper I agree...Just a month or so ago, Krogers had to pay out millions because it was proven that they were racially discriminating against Blacks...It was also posted right here on MTO that Black nurses were making alot less than their White counterparts and they pretty much had the same qualifications...And also with these finance companies who overcharge Blacks...

People better wake the hell up before it is too late...

Yes I received a letter in the mail about Kroger’s paying back African Americans for race discrimination. I am one of those blacks who worked a Kroger’s a long time ago and the letter told me I happen to be one of the African Americans who qualified to receive money. Racism is still alive in 2008!!!

that is messed up when i was in the navy we met some BLACK women from south africa they were telling us all kinds of racist shish they were/be doing over there like BLACKS had to be in their homes once it got dark outside and shish. this mofo feed a human being to lions and only get 3 fuggin years???? and the world wonders why we were in the streets honking our horns when o.j. got off it was NEVER about o.j. oreo azz they will never understand!!!! yo pants sag cause you half azz chicago(the gangster capital)

This is so sad. It doesn't surprise me in the least. since the begin of time, whites have broken the laws and had those same laws backing them up. Travesty.

Hey Hue! Long time no see. How you doing baby?

all i can say is that, this is tragic, and that if those white people in africa cannot love and respect the africans (the people of that land) then get the H-e-l-l off of it, and go back to their european country.

this stuff really bothers me.


AllAlisa

im sorry to say this. but some BLACK MEN. don't care about racism. and when you marry and procreate with white women and want your off spring to look like your oppressor it says a lot> SELF HATE.

and same for the small number of blk women who are guilty of that ***, that has plagued blk men.

and TOO ALL THE BLACKS if you are calling whites the devil and your girlfriend/boyfriend is WHITE or you even dated a white. you are the biggest hypocrite and liar.
