Attention All BLACK Greek Sorors who have communicated DEATH THREATS to the Cast members of VH-1's new reality tv show "SORORITY SISTERS", and who launched a Petition to Shut down the show........
Please Stop Hating!
It's just a TV SHOW!
It does NOT Represent, nor Misrepresent the Integrity of BLACK Greek Sororities!
The Women on this television show were Intelligent enough to seize a LEGAL, Lucrative Business Opportunity.
What is WRONG with that??
Where were all of these BLACK Greek Soror Haters when RAY RICE was Beating the hell out of JANAY RICE in an Elevator??
ATLANTA, Ga remains the top U.S. City for Human Trafficking and Prostitution of Young Girls.
What are the BLACK Greek Sorors doing to help Protect those Young Girls??
But yet you BLACK Greek Sorors are going to communicate DEATH THREATS to Women who signed on to appear on a Reality TV Show??
You should be Ashamed of yourselves!
I think many of you are just JEALOUS Haters, Angry at VH-1 producers for Not Casting you for this Show.
HILLARY CLINTON is preparing to make History as the First WOMAN U.S. President.
Get on Board and Support other Women who are trying to Make it in a Man's World!
So because George Zimmerman is supposed to be "Half-Hispanic" he gets a pass by the local Police for killing an Unarmed, Non-Violent BLACK Teen with a bag of candy & an Iced Tea beverage in his hands?
George Zimmerman was told by Police NOT to follow Trayvon Martin however he continued to relentlessly pursue him. If he "Felt Threatened" why follow him?
The fact that Zimmerman followed Trayvon versus NOT following him, refutes any claims he or the local Police may have of the "Stand Your Ground" Legal Defense.
Last week more than 400,000 people, including many Celebrities have signed a Petition requesting the Federal Gov't to probe Trayvon Martin's Unwarranted, Cold-Blooded Murder which occurred February of this year in Florida.
So I Thank God Pres. Obama's Administration is finally stepping into the foray of the investigation of Trayvon's case.
Trayvon was clearly the victim of an Unwarranted Vigilante Justice Crime fueled by Racial Profiling and his Premature Death Should NOT be in Vain!
Since Pres. Obama's Election & Inauguration, his administration has consistently failed to Publicly address almost every Injustice facing the American BLACK Community (Widespread Employment Discrimination, Racial Profiling, Voting Rights, etc.,) thus I made up my mind that if he chose to sit this incident out just to curry favor with WHITE Voters, I would NOT cast my Vote for him again.
I mean it!
In 2008 Millions of BLACK Voters went to bat for Pres. Barack Obama but yet for Political reasons he could NOT step up for us?
That's Not Right!
So if he failed to intervene in the Unwarranted, Cold-Blooded Murder of an Unarmed, Non-Violent 17-yr old BLACK Youth named Trayvon Martin, I was NOT going to Vote for him this Fall.
In fact I would NOT have Voted for a Presidential Candidate at all.
Candidates for other Political Offices? Yes but NOT a Presidential Candidate.
So I'm happy to see the Obama Administration finally stand up publicly against Injustice within the American BLACK Community.
Its Time For REAL Change For BLACK People Too NOT just Gay People, Asian People & White Middle Class People.
Trayvon Martin's Death should NOT be in Vain!
JUSTICE FOR TRAYVON.
Let's Please Keep Trayvon's Family In Our Prayers.
Responding to an international petition, celebrity tweets, and spreading public outrage, the Justice Department opened an investigation on Monday into the shooting of a black teenager by a neighborhood watch captain who escaped arrest.
More than 435,000 people, many alerted by tweets from celebrities like movie director Spike Lee and musician Wyclef Jean, signed a petition on Change.org, a social action website, calling for the arrest of the shooter, George Zimmerman.
The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division and the FBI announced swiftly that they have opened an investigation into the shooting in Florida of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, who was unarmed when he was killed.
“The department will conduct a thorough and independent review of all of the evidence and take appropriate action at the conclusion of the investigation,” the Justice Department said in a statement.
The campaign to draw attention to the case is the third largest in Change.org’s history, and surpassed a petition of about 300,000 signatures credited last year with persuading Bank of America to drop plans for a $5 debit card fee, said Megan Lubin, a Change.org spokeswoman.
The victim’s family lawyer, Ben Crump, said public pressure was behind an earlier promise by the Justice Department to review the case. And some Florida legislators are moving to consider a change in the law to prevent a recurrence.
“People all over the world, more than 400,000 people, said we demand you make an arrest. That’s what is building pressure to look at it,” Crump said.
The shooting occurred February 26 when Zimmerman spotted Martin walking home from buying candy and iced tea at a convenience store.
Zimmerman, patrolling the neighborhood in his car, called the 911 emergency number and reported what he called “a real suspicious guy.”
“This guy looks like he’s up to no good, or he’s on drugs or something. It’s raining and he’s just walking around, looking about,” Zimmerman told dispatchers.
The dispatcher, hearing heavy breathing on the phone, asked Zimmerman: “Are you following him?”
“Yeah,” Zimmerman said.
“Okay, we don’t need you to do that,” the dispatcher responded.
But several neighbors subsequently called 911 to report a scuffle between Zimmerman and Martin. While some of the callers were still on the phone, cries for help followed by a gunshot can be heard in the background.
“I recognized that [voice] as my baby screaming for help before his life was taken,” Martin’s mother, Sybrina Fulton, told Reuters.
“STAND YOUR GROUND”
Police declined to arrest Zimmerman, and turned the case over to prosecutors where it remains under review. Police cited Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law, enacted in 2005 and now in effect in at least 16 other states.
Dubbed “Shoot first (ask questions later)" by opponents, the Florida law allows a potential crime victim who is “in fear of great bodily injury” to use deadly force in public places.
The landmark law expanded on legislation, known as the Castle Doctrine, that allowed use of deadly force in defense of “hearth and home.” Passed under former Florida Governor Jeb Bush in 2005, it overturned a centuries-old doctrine that required the potential victim to retreat and avoid confrontation if possible, according to Ladd Everitt, spokesman for the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, a Washington-based advocacy group.
“No one could argue that Zimmerman could not have safely retreated and avoided this conflict, and I think that is the critical element here and why these laws are so dangerous,” Everitt said. “He (Zimmerman) does not have a duty to retreat in Florida.”
Crump said Zimmerman should not be protected under the Stand Your Ground law. “It’s illogical, you can claim self defense after you chase and pursue somebody,” he said. “That’s a courtroom defense. That’s not something the police accept on the side of the street.”
Five years after Florida’s Stand Your Ground law was enacted, a 2010 review by the St. Petersburg Times found that reports of justifiable homicides had tripled, and a majority of cases were excused by prosecutors or the courts. Meanwhile, the petition drive, started by a friend of Trayvon’s mother, has been signed by people across the globe from Canada to Thailand, Lubin said.
Celebrity tweets over the weekend made #Trayvon a trending topic on Twitter, she said. Additional celebrities tweeting and posting on Facebook about the case include singers Clay Aiken and John Legend, film director Michael Moore and actress Mia Farrow.
“This is a great moment for the entire nation to become educated in these Stand Your Ground laws,” Everitt said. “It’s unbelievably dangerous and really takes us to a situation where the rule of law is beginning to erode on our streets and vigilantism is being actively encouraged by these laws.”
Let's show our support for Coach Leach and keep it coming!
By the way I believe he should have been suspended but NOT fired.
Mike Leach: I would like to dedicate this impending victory to all my fans, especially the ones here on Facebook, from Kevin Burson to Bryan A. Garner. Guns up!
Mike Leach: Brandon, we're gonna come out with our guns up! AAAARRRRRGGG!
Mike Leach: Where I end up coaching next year has a lot to do with how many fans I get on Facebook... so keep it coming!
Debby Mills: I agree!!!
Mike Jaster: These people at ESPN are absolutely fools. They have tried and executed you in a "Hot Minute" you stood up for what you believe in and I respect that. It is not about holding hands and eating cake. I do not believe you did anything that would hurt any of the players/folks on the team. Too much whining on their end they should suck it up and grow a ... See Morepair, this is a tough game requiring concentration, discipline etc. Otherwise they should join the scouts may teach them a thing or two.
You should carefully analyze a position for next year where there will be better support for you and roll with that and build a stellar program like you did with the Raiders!
Mike Leach: I would like to thank all my fans! Please, we need more people to support this fan page if we are going to whip Oklahoma as badly as we whipped State!
Mike Leach: I'm sure mac brown is great at recruiting and with the boosters, but mike leach makes college football a wonder to behold. congrats on tonight's victory.
This a group for anybody who thinks Mike Leach is a bad a** and wants to keep him in Lubbock. I know the Leach no longer has the opportunity to go to Miami but I think we should still rally behind this great coach.
He has taken a nobody football team and put us in national headlines. I am tired of the fair weather fans trying to put him down for a still winning season. All great programs have their set backs. If we could support our teams despite of a few mistakes, maybe they would have enough confidence in themselves to perform at the level they are capable of.
Some Facts about Leach:
- Leach's offense produced school records in nearly every passing category in 2000, but surpassed those numbers in each of the last four seasons. His five teams have combined for over 150 team and individual records at Tech.
- The Red Raiders have improved their total offensive numbers from 324.8 yards per game to 491.7 yards per game since Leach's arrival. The last five seasons rank as the top five all-time at Tech in total offense, while scoring went from 23 points per game in 1999 to 36.2 points last season. The most significant increase has been in the passing game, where the Red Raiders averaged 399.7 yards per game in 2004 compared to 175.4 yards in 1999.
- In 2003, Heisman Trophy candidate and quarterback B.J. Symons capped off his senior season with an NCAA Passing Championship and an NCAA single-season record 5,833 passing yards. A year earlier, current New Orleans Saints quarterback Kliff Kingsbury finished his senior campaign ranked in total offense (2nd), completions (1st), attempts (1st) and passing touchdowns (1st). The record-setting quarterback also set 17 NCAA records during his career and tied three other marks.
- Additionally, recruiting has been one of the top beneficiaries since Leach's arrival in December 1999. The Red Raiders' 2005 recruiting class was once again ranked among the top 25. From his first class in the spring of 2000 to this year's list of newcomers, each class continues to get better. Not only is Texas Tech recruiting the Texas area, but Leach also is extending the reach of the program across the country.
- "Since Leach got to Texas Tech, they've basically doubled attendance, doubled ticket prices and beaten some of the best teams in the country," O'Hagan said. "He's had winning records every year recruiting against Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma and LSU.''

The Public has a Right to Criticize the People who Govern them, so the least Protection from Defamation is given to Public Officials. When officials are accused of something that involves their behavior in office, they have to prove all of the above elements of defamation and they must also prove that the defendant acted with “actual malice.” (For a definition of actual malice, see the “History of Defamation and the First Amendment, below.”)
People who aren’t Elected but who are Still Public Figures because they are influential or famous — like Actors, Actresses, Movie Stars, Singers & Entertainers, Journalists, TV Hosts, Bloggers, etc., — also have to Prove that Defamatory statements were made with Actual Malice, in most cases.
