*sigh*
No surprises that the four cops in the Sean Bell case in NYC got off.
NONE. AT.ALL.
R.I.P Sean Bell
R.I.P Amadou Diallo
R.I.P to the countless Black males who will no doubt get a free pass to that eternal sleep thanks to NYC cops forever and ever amen.
Maybe Senator Clinton can throw down her sword against Obama for a minute and delve into why this keeps happenin' in the state she represents and loves so much...but I'm sure she wouldn't want to play the "race card" and address real issues affecting her constituents and the country she might have led if she didn't try her best to be divisive about the Black race in her bid to be the so-called "leader of the free world".
All I can do is sigh and resign myself to the fact that nothing ever changes. Whites who tell us to get over slavery and that we don't have it nearly as bad as we think we do don't know this kind of apathy and probably never will. It sucks, it hurts and I'm angry to the core but surprised? Never. I expected nothing less.

damn! i was watching that shit last night and it made me mad... it was a follow up to an article i read about some young black guy who went missing on the job two years ago--TWO YEARS--and i'd never heard anything about him until yesterday.
i say to myself that we should be happy to live now and not in the 60s, but really, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
(welcome back to blogging, btw... it's been a minute since i've been here!)
there's no justice just us
Hi Inciquay,
Yes, it truly is a sad state of affairs, but never forget that God is watching.
I just found your blog from a post you made on The Black Voices Cooking Forum in June 2007 and was wondering if you ever started that food blog you mentioned.
Like you, I have also had little success in finding Black food blogs/sites and would very much like to see more. I am Black and I have a food blog, so yes, we are out there. It's just a matter of finding us.
Please let me know if you started the blog or are still interested. I'd love to visit it.
If you'd like, you can visit my blog at www.divaflava.net.
Peace & Blessings.
Lynne
Good to be back Dalia, thanks for havin' me. I'm interested in the story you mentioned, who's the dude that went missing?
Ah Jdid, I can't believe you still check on this page! Thank you.
Lynne J.: I did start the blog under the name honeydijonay but got sidelined by cancer treatment so it fell to the wayside. I plan to re-up an actually do some cooking of my own for it. Soon come.
LOVE LOVE LOVE your blog though! Makes me feel ashamed at the shambles that was mine...but at least I can always fall back on the cancer excuse ;-)
