ANOTHER BLACK OUT?

FROM ALONZOS BLOG
2007 has been a terrible year for racial profiling & police abuse regarding African Americans in the Kansas City area. Two pregnant Black women (Sophia Salva & Yvette Hayes) were forced on the ground by different police agencies for no justifiable reason. One woman lost her baby and both women have filed lawsuits. Another KCK Black family has filed a lawsuit against the KCK Police Department for abuse after the police crashed into their home and called them the N-word. Finally, even a well known anti crime community activist (Ron McMillan) was abused at the hands of local police.

Lawsuits are not the only way the Black community plans on dealing with these injustices. There is a national movement to take the Black out of Black Friday.

Local activists will tie into this national boycott by asking local African Americans not to shop at JCPenny during Black Friday & over the holiday weekend. JCPenny is the corporation that originally racially profiled Yvette Hayes and set into motion the chain of events that lead the pregnant woman to end up face down on the ground on the side of the highway. Futhermore, the company has made no attempt to reach out to the Black community to explain or to defend the charges Miss Hayes has made against them.

Activist, Alonzo Washington, activist, Ron McMillan (National Coalition of Jena 6) & a member of American Friends are leading the boycott in Kansas City.

K State crybabies


It amazes me how many K State football fans (something that didn't exist 12 years ago) are jumping on the MU Football program bandwagon. This is almost as big of a game for them as it is for KU or MU. I have several friends that played football back in the mid 90's for Snyder and they are embarrassed by the way that their fans are acting. They feel that the more that K State fans jump on the MU bandwagon the better it makes KU's success, they are right.

K State fans are new to cheering for athletics so they have no real loyalty. Most K State fans didn't even know they had a football team until the early 90's. Then on the day they were to honor the man that turned around (for a few years) their football program, they couldn't even fill up the stadium. This is why K State can never be a real rival, they don't get it. When would you ever catch a KU fan cheering for an MU or K State victory? When would you catch a KU fan acting as if K State or MU was their team? You wouldn't.
K State fans need to sit this one out and develop your own historic rivalries instead of jumping on ours. You are just embarrassing yourselves.
