Governor To Decide Kilpatrick’s Fate

Kilpatrick

Read more about the city counci’s appeal to the governor and the charges Kilpatrick faces at BET.com/News.


Skin head gets 25 years for murdering a Black man. The justice system is finally bringing some closure to the nearly 20-year-old murder of a Black man in Philly. Thomas Gibison, a White supremacist, was convicted of conspiracy in the 1989 shooting death of Aaron Wood and was sentenced to up to 25 years in prison, The Associated Press reports. A friend of Gibison testified during the trial that they went to North Philadelphia to find a Black man to kill so they could earn a White supremacist tattoo. Gibison already is serving time in prison for unrelated weapons offenses charges.

March on Washington anniversary remembered. Forty-five years ago, thousands descended on D.C., and changed America forever. See the photos here.

They should have given the Red Neck life! I know that alot of people would want death…UMLAW… I did not take your user name …SQUID…I thought you told me and a lot of other African Americans that we are to dumb to think. Do you think I have the smarts to take over your I.D. And use it against you. I do but in this case some one else beat me to it.

I think that his action were somewhat insubordinate like the report states ,he should’ve taken a long thought about what he was going to do instead of taken an unauthorized trip out of town like that. What make people think that once they get such aa large position that they are on top of the world and then start looking at others like they are nothing ,thats part of the reasons americas in trouble like its in now because ,once you take oath for these particular job you have to mean what you say in all of the campaigning and debates proving that you mean business and not make america look as bad as it does already ,I can see that its going to be a long time before we can get our country back on track because of insubordinating leader thats putting a dent in our economy, Tax payer dont have (money ) to through away anymore we are trying to survive from this great deppression.

The killing of a person because of his/her race is tragic and summons a lot of emotions. With that being the case, I think we should look beyond the facade of race as the motivating factor for these skinheads. That’s not what motivates them. They are sociopaths. Plain and simple! If there were no blacks or minorities to prey upon these psychotic, anti-social misfits would turn their murderous rage on other whites. They use race as a justification for their behavior, but they’re just criminals and every race has them . Black and Latino gang members have this same mentality. Sometimes race divides us and affects us so much emotionally that we can’t see what’s really behind these behaviors. There is a certain dysfunctional segment of our society that enjoys terrorizing and victimizing others. Don’t get it twisted. Anyone who hurts or kills someone because they’re from a different race, economic group or neighborhood is in the same family as these skinheads.

Kilpatrick took a oath of which he has voilated and the perjury charges against he would be ground enough for dismissal and removal from his elected office.

KWAME - God’s Word says: “We must gover ourselves accordingly”. I pray that Mr. Kwame will repent, surrender and give his life to the Lord.

SKIN HEAD - We must continue to pray for the souls of those who don’t know and acknowledge God for who He is. Repent, surrender and turn your life over to the Lord and turn from your wicked ways! Justice has been served!

You are truly in a depressing world, You need prayer. I hope no one responds to his ignorance. Let’s do what we do best and fight on with resiliance!
