Is T.I. The Latest Victim Of The ‘Hip Hop Police’?

Al Sharpton — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 18:13:23 +0000

At the risk of offending my buddy Dubs—who understandably doesn’t like seeing his government name in print—I’ve gotta reproduce this stellar piece of insight he hit a bunch of us with in an e-mail earlier today.

The topic was T.I. and the fact that the rapper was arrested on charges of possession of marijuana and two possibles (codeine and ecstasy; pardon the Spades slang).

Here’s what Dubs wrote:

T.I. and the rest of his ilk still don’t believe in the hip-hop police. It is amazing [that they find the fact that] there is a dossier on every well-known rapper and their movements are tracked by most major police departments hard to believe. How the hell do you think Lil’ Wayne got popped in three different states on the same charges, weapons and drugs, and none of the stops have been deemed “stop for cause”?

Now, most of us have heard of the Hip Hop police. I doubt however that many people have considered why there would be a need for such an entity.

Article continues after T.I. and Tiny Arrested Gallery:

If you were thinking that the Hip Hop police exists to protect rappers who, for some reason, tend to face violent death with more frequency than do other musicians, then you’d be wrong.

The Hip Hop police exists for the same reason that the FBI’s old COINTELPRO existed: to discredit anyone in the Black community with the intelligence, charisma and natural leadership ability necessary to inspire a movement.

‘Discrediting’ being only the first goal, of course. If you lived like a monk (see: Malcolm X, the later Dr. King, Fred Hampton), you had to be killed.

Murder could be tied in with the Hip Hop police as well because after seeing that a rape accusation, multiple shooting and subsequent conviction didn’t diminish Tupac’s standing in the Black community—in fact, it did just the opposite—was anybody surprised that Pac died violently?

Were or are we surprised that of the only men ever accused—and even this is done clandestinely—of killing the Notorious B.I.G., David Mack and Amir Muhammad, one of them, Mack, is a former cop?

Or should the murders of Biggie and Tupac even be considered “crimes” since a crime is a transgression against the State and, all things considered, those two deaths seem so obviously State approved?

Adam Clayton Powell IV Accepted Money From Strip Club

Mildred Gaddis — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 18:11:02 +0000

Assemblyman Adam Clayton Powell IV probably doesn’t want you to follow the money.

The Harlem leader, who is vying for Rep. Charles Rangel’s Congressional seat, allegedly took campaign donations from a man facing a sexual harassment suit from dancers at his Bronx strip club, the Daily News Reported Thursday.

Konstantine “Gus” Drakopoulos, who runs Sin City at 2520 Park Avenue, reportedly made five $1,000 donations this past spring to Powell’s Congressional campaign.

“I’m going to return the money. I want no part of anybody like that,” the Assemblyman told the News.

Black Woman Attacks Vancouver Woman With Acid

People's Connection — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 17:45:08 +0000

Bethany Storro spoke to the media for the first time since the acid attack on her face earlier this week that resulted in serious skin damage.

“Hey pretty girl, do you want to drink this?” an unidentified woman said seconds before splattering a cup of acid on the 28-year-old’s face in Vancouver, Wash.

Storro told reporters, “Once it hit me, I could hear it bubbling and sizzling in my skin. It was the most painful thing. My heart stopped, I almost passed out.”

Storro said she doesn’t normally wear sunglasses, but amazingly bought sunglasses just 20 minutes before the attack, saving her eyes from damage.

Unemployent Rate Hits 9.6 Percent; 54,000 Jobs Lost

Mildred Gaddis — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 17:13:58 +0000

Another month, another grim jobs report. We lot 54,000 jobs in July. Most of those — in fact, 114,000 of them — were expiring census jobs. The private sector added jobs slowly but steadily, posting 67,000 in gains. This report doesn’t really tell a story of recovery nor of recession. It’s just stagnation: We’re not falling back into the hole, but nor are we getting out of it. No wonder the White House is looking for further stimulus measures.

The unemployment rate rose slightly to 9.6 percent, from 9.5 percent, the Labor Department said, as hundreds of thousands of people rejoined the labor force.

Private employers, meanwhile, created a net of 67,000 jobs, better than expected but below the 107,000 positions they added to payrolls in July. Overall, the nation shed 54,000 positions, but that was driven by the elimination of temporary Census jobs, which was widely anticipated.

Trapped Chilean Miner’s Wife Runs Into Mistress At Mine, Both Holding Vigils For Him

Mildred Gaddis — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 16:53:07 +0000

One of the trapped Chilean miners is going to have some explaining to do after his wife ran into his mistress at the mine’s entrance.

Britain’s Sun newspaper reports the wife of Yonni Barrios, Marta Salinas, was stunned and upset to find his girlfriend Susana Valenzuela also conducting a vigil for him.

Salinas told the newspaper: “Barrios is my husband. He loves me and I am his devoted wife. This woman has no legitimacy.”

But The Sun reported Valenzuela as saying the 50-year-old miner was going to leave his wife for her.

Text continues after Pictures of the week gallery…

“We are in love. I’ll wait for him,” she told the paper.

Barrios has been valuable to authorities in trying to get the miners out, using his first-aid training to treat sick colleagues.

They miners were located late last month, more than two weeks after becoming trapped in a shaft collapse on August 5.

The newspaper report comes as Health Minister Jaime Manalich said all 33 miners trapped underground would soon be able to see and talk to loved ones through a video link.

The morale-boosting technology will be made possible by lowering a fibre-optic cable to the men, who were cut off deep down in the San Jose mine by a cave-in more than four weeks ago.

“They will be able to have private conversations with their families through a TV screen,” Manalich told reporters.

Family members will most likely be restricted in what they can say, as is already the case with written notes read first by authorities to make sure there are no remarks that could create false hopes or lead to despair.

Jay-Z, Eminem Joined By Stars At Historic Detroit Concert

Mildred Gaddis — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 16:47:14 +0000

Detroit hasn’t screamed this loud at a baseball park since Kirk Gibson was hitting home runs in the 1984 World Series. Hip-hop history was made as Jay-Z and Eminem co-headlined the Motor City’s Comerica Park (home of the D-Town Tigers for the past decade) on Thursday night (September 2), the first of two shows on consecutive nights.

While Jay’s high-grossing touring schedule helped him to top this year’s Forbes’ “Hip-Hop Cash King” list, Eminem took a much-needed sabbatical to deal with a myriad of personal issues. Now beyond his darkest hour, Em had one of his brightest moments ever onstage. Not only did he gift his hometown with a seemingly endless string of hits, he pulled off some major surprises. After D12, 50 Cent and the G-Unit — acts that fans likely expected — came out for performances with Em, Slim Shady pulled off a shocker. Dr. Dre came out, first stunning the people then delighting them with smashes.

Police Say Man Killed One, Injured Seven At Baltimore High School Reunion

Mildred Gaddis — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 16:35:12 +0000

The Baltimore Sun is reporting that a man who was recently released from prison is being accused of stabbing one man to death and injuring seven others.

A 28-year-old man who was recently released from prison was charged Saturday night in what police described as a bloody melee that left one dead and seven others wounded at a high school reunion in Cherry Hill earlier the same day.

9 Healthy Tips For Your Labor Day BBQ

Angelo Henderson — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 16:12:03 +0000

It’s Labor Day, the end of summer and probably the last time you’re going to get the grill out until next year. BBQ can be one of those things that turns unhealthy immediately but with these tips you can keep your cookout good for your body and delicious for your palate.

Here’s some healthy BBQ ideas and for more tips read after the gallery:

1. Go “Kebabing”

Kebabs are a great and easy way to grill meat and veggies. You can make chicken kebabs, shrimp kebabs, veggie kebabs, pork and beef kebabs. Always stick to using lean cuts of meat and let your kebab items marinate overnight for bold flavors without adding tons of fat, sugar and calories.

2. Replace Your Meat With Fish

While pork, red meat and chicken are typical BBQ faves, you can cut calories and fat while boning up on essential vitamins and nutrients by substituting other meats with fish. You can grill fish “steaks” or also wrap a seasoned fillet in foil and throw it on the grill.

Fish facts:

One ounce of tilapia contains 36 calories , 1 gram of fat (no saturated fat!) and 7 grams of protein.
One ounce of salmon contains 58 calories, 3 grams of fat (1 gram of saturated fat) and 6 grams of protein.
One ounce of swordfish contains 43 calories, 1 gram of fat and 7 grams of protein.

3. Grill Corn, Asparagus, Eggplant, Zucchini and Other Veggies

Veggies are ideal for grilling because you can’t really over grill them and if you use a marinade they will taste delicious and keep you full while cutting down on calories and fat.

4. Gorge On Salads

We’re not talking about potato salad here. Fresh green salads are a great starter option for your BBQ to help get you full before the big feast. Try a Greek salad or something more exotic. Don’t forget you can also make a fruit salad as well.

5. Skip The Ice Cream And Have A Parfait

Mixing some fruit with some yogurt and granola is a much healthier alternative to ice cream for desert. Here are some really great low-cal and low-fat recipes to try.

6. Take The Skin Off Your Chicken

Taking the skin off chicken before you cook makes it way healthier than leaving the skin on. Don’t believe us? Take a look at the nutrition facts:

4 ounces of roasted chicken breast with skin contains 223 calories, 8.8 grams of fat, and 2.5 grams of saturated fat
4 ounces of roasted chicken breast WITHOUT skin contains 187 calories, 4 grams of fat, and 1.2 grams of saturated fat

If that’s not enough reason to go skinless then we don’t know what else is!

7. Go Vegetarian

Maybe you have some vegetarians attending your BBQ, why not go veggie with them! Veggie burgers and dogs are usually soy or gluten-based and are low in saturated fats compared to hamburger meat. Hamburgers generally contain about 7 grams of saturated fat while products like Bocca and Morningstar Farms contain 0-1 grams of saturated fat.

8. If You Love The Meat, Trim The Fat!

Not only is the fat on meat artery clogging but also can increase your risk of getting cancer. Grilling contains lots of cancer risks due to the carcinogens produced. You can lower these risks by trimming the fat from your meat. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) formation is hard to get around but more are produced when smoke is produced by fat dripping from meat onto the grill.

9. Make Your Own BBQ Sauce

Commercial BBQ sauces are loaded with sugar (most likely high fructose corn syrup). To avoid this, try making your own. Here’s 30 recipes that will have you satisfied and thanking us later for not inducing a comatose sugar high.

Now that you’ve got these tips plan a menu that’s health-conscious but still delicious to make your Labor Day spectacular!
