Hahahahaha! Now look at this! Mr. Smiley is on the defensive with some charges that are probably false, but now see how it feels after all of his criticism of President Obama. He was just mad coz Obama didn't come to his forum to do Presidential debates. Like a true niggah he never forgave Obama for that. Now he's about to lose all of his gigs that support his pretentious lifestyle and image. Well as usual Mr. Smiley your king comes to the rescue.
Maybe now more of you will join me in putting down this 'woman's revolution'. Regardless of our beliefs and such, aren't we all sick and tired of these wannabe' suffragettes whining about their not treated right? They've got money and a little position and now what do they want to do; use it to get revenge on men for any trifle any slight they felt throughout their whole fuckin' life! A guy they didn't like ask them out on a date more than once he sexually harassing them. A guy look at them too much he's sexually harassing them. Then it's not about what anybody with some common fuckin' sense think it's about HOW THEY FEEL!! How many men have been fired over this bullshit or sent to prison even. I know some who went to PRISON because of the false claims of these bitches. Of course its okay by the white man establishment coz' it gives them so called 'legitimate reasons' to run their operation of suppression and oppression against the Hebrew (African) American community. All they have to do is find a bunch of ho's you done fucked offer them some money or threaten to do something against them for something their doing that's not above board and the next thing you know your out of a job, in court, on your way to prison, like they tried to do to Bill Cosby and will be trying again next year. I guess they feel they have created a poisonous enough atmosphere here in America to get this innocent man convicted this time. But they obviously have a wider aim than to 'just' convict Bill Cosby breaking their own laws in order to get it done. They got an idiot in the white house and feel like they've got it made.
Tavis you've been an idiot all this time. You thought you could use your little influence scuttle the legacy of President Obama, now it's your legacy that will be scuttled. Your situation I don't know if it can be fixed. These honkies obviously have been wanting to destroy you for some time, and other niggahs who think they're untouchable are gonna' suffer. All I can do besides tell the truth about these hypocritical satanic bastards is when the Lord makes me king, I will try an straighten out the mess being made of your life. But you were doing a pretty good job all by yourself. Dating women on your staff, breaking bad with Tom Joyner (I don't care much for him either) and President Obama too coz' he wouldn't support your show. Ever think he really didn't have much choice in the matter fool? You see God don't like ugly and you have been very ugly. I know I have some things to answer for; being a gay man and a grassroots activist. Not good. But hey just because someone ignores my post I don't go after them.
But this thing with the sexual harassment has gotten out of hand. Going back years and years to complain about an alleged confrontation. I cant wait to hear 'thirty five years ago he accidentally bumped me while walking on a New York street. He was sexually harassing me!' Yeah, thatr's coming. He said I was attractive 'sexuall harassment'. He said my feet were bigg, 'sexual harassment'.He said I had big boobs, 'sexual harassment!' HE SAID HE LIKED BLONDE HAIR, 'SEXUAL HARASSMENT!!!' You see where this shit is going?!!? I'm gonna tell you right now, the king has no times for so-called 'women's rights'! nothing but a bunch of bullshit egged on by these honkies lookin for other ways to oppress minorities! Yeah a few white men are being sacrificed for a greater cause, but their real targets again is us. I can't wait til God smash these white rats to bits and send them down to the hell that awaits them. Now as king I have a simple solution for any woman who feels she is being sexually harassed; I'm gonna build a thirteen story tower and any woman who feels she's being sexually harassed you will occupy the cells on the highest floors where you can cook and clean do laundry, operate a free daycare for the whole damn state, and watch soap operas all day or re-reuns of Donahue. And if any man wants to sexually harass you he will have to go through fire, a maze of traps, flying swords, razors, and automatic machine gun fire. If he makes it through alive, one of you will have to give up the pussy. If he dies, you get to bury him. Oh, and you'll stay there the rest of your natural fuckin' lives so NOBODY WILL EVER SEXUALLY HARASS YOU AGAIN!!!! Ain't that sweet?
Smiley claims PBS made mistake in ouster, but PBS fires back
"I've made mistakes — I'm human. I'm not perfect. But it doesn't rise to the level of wrongful termination"

the 33rd annual ASCAP Pop Music Awards in Los Angeles. PBS says it has
suspended distribution of Smiley’s talk show after an independent
investigation uncovered “multiple, credible allegations” of misconduct
by its host. (Photo by Rich Fury/Invision/AP, File)
NEW YORK (AP) — Tavis Smiley has defended himself from allegations he
had sexual relationships with subordinates and created an abusive
workplace environment, denying any wrongdoing and saying PBS made a
mistake by suspending him from his talk show. PBS almost immediately
fired back, saying he “needs to get his story straight.”
He told ABC’s “Good Morning America” Monday that he’s never coerced
anyone into a relationship but has had consensual relationships in the
workplace. He said those relationships weren’t forbidden by the company
he owns and he claims he never promoted or fired anyone based on their
relationship with him.
“I’ve never groped. I’ve never coerced, I’ve never exposed myself
inappropriately to anyone in 30 years,” Smiley said. “I’ve made mistakes
— I’m human. I’m not perfect. But it doesn’t rise to the level of
wrongful termination.”
Smiley said Monday that he applauds women coming forward to share
their sexual assault and harassment experiences “to lead us in a
conversation about how to create healthy workspaces.”
At the same time, he said “I want to make sure we don’t lose all
sense of nuance and proportionality in this conversation, because if we
do then people end up being guilty simply by accusation.”
PBS responded in a matter of hours, saying Smiley’s acknowledgement
of multiple relationships contradicted his previous statements.
“Tavis Smiley needs to get his story straight,” it said in a
statement, which also promised more accusations: “Additional allegations
are continuing to come to light since last week’s announcement.”
PBS also derided Smiley’s claim that he applauds women who have come
forward, pointing out that Smiley’s company hinders such actions by
requiring former and current employees to sign non-disclosure
agreements. “Witnesses who have bravely come forward to speak with the
independent investigators retained by PBS report a fear of retribution
for speaking out,” it said.
Smiley’s career took a huge hit last week when PBS said it was
suspending him following an independent investigation by a law firm that
uncovered “multiple, credible allegations of conduct that is
inconsistent with the values and standards of PBS.”
Then fallout was swift: Walmart, a sponsor, cut ties with him and
live producer Mills Entertainment pulled out of backing Smiley’s
upcoming theatrical show that was to focus on the last year of Martin
Luther King Jr.’s life. Hay House, which distributes the Smiley Books
imprint, said all Smiley projects were “on hold” pending an internal
review.
As to accusations he created a verbally abusive and threatening work
place, Smiley admitted many of his TV and radio projects are intense at
times but said “I’m not an angry black man and this notion of a hostile
environment just doesn’t fit.” He added that no complaints about him
have ever been raised.
Smiley’s suspension comes weeks after PBS cut ties with anchor and
talk show host Charlie Rose, citing “extremely disturbing and
intolerable behavior” by him toward women at his PBS talk show. The
actions against Smiley and Rose follow dozens of firings and suspensions
of prominent men who have been accused of sexual misconduct or
harassment.

Okay this is some bullshit. First off I honestly don't believe all of these sexual harassment allegations, most of these ho's lyin', and these so-called confessions from these men is some bullshit. These dudes are agreeing to be a part of some other nefarious plot by some very powerful and very evil men. These dudes not even 'trying' to defend their honor and their innocence?!!? Something funky and evil is going on. I believe a good deal of this is trying to create an atmosphere so that they can convict Bill Cosby of a crime he DID NOT COMMITT, and all Americans should be leary of this. Somebody knows what's REALLY going on and need to alert the rest of us to WHO is behind this evil plot AND WHAT they are really up to. Because if people got the money, the influence, the power to do things like this, we need to circumvent the system that they obviously control, drage this satanic devils out into the streets and dispatch them, for they are dangerous not just to this country, but the world at large!!! Maybe then we can avoid the war that's coming that will destroy this country and kill many of us. I'm serious; America is on it's last legs. That doesn't bother me as much as the many people who will die because of these evil servants of satan!! And remember you heard it from me, and no I'm not seeking glory, Glory is for God alone, I'm trying to warn you; they're not building that wall on the Mexican border to keep the Mexicans out; they're building that wall to keep US IN! Coz when war comes, Canada has their borders well protected; Mexico will be our only chance since they don't have the resources to protect their border effectively; and with the soldiers busy fighting and killin us, our wonderful leaders will have their oportunity to get on those jet planes and fly to safety. THINK ABOUT IT!!! And don't think if you're on a plane headed out you're safe; they will send military on the plance, escort you off so they can get on it and leave you watching on the tarmac as they fly off to safely. Think they won't do it; WATCH!!!!
Mario Batali steps aside from restaurants, ‘The Chew’ after sexual harassment accusations
Superchef Mario Batali has stepped away from his restaurant empire and
ABC’s “The Chew” following allegations of sexual misconduct.
Four women have accused the famous foodie of groping and other
inappropriate touching while they worked for him, according to an Eater report. The accusations date back two decades.
“I apologize to the people I have mistreated and hurt. Although the
identities of most of the individuals mentioned in these stories have
not been revealed to me, much of the behavior described does, in fact,
match up with ways I have acted,” Batali, 57, who runs the Batali and
Bastianich Hospitality Group with foodie Joe Bastianich, said in a statement to Eater.
Now I'm sick of all this woman's rights bullshit anyway, but folks ya'll need to read this one. Chairman of the Board, Danny A.
Now I'm not revealing my name for reasons of privacy and other. I've told my story across the web many times under many guises, so you've probably heard it But I was in the u.s. navy some years back and I found myself falsely accused of sexual harassment and that accusation turned into rape. Now the reason for this, this woman was trying to get a disability discharge from the navy like she tried to in the Army. Yes, I should have joined the army coz the navy is one of the most racist branches of the services in America, second only to the marines. Now the army didn't go for her bullshit and the navy wasn't going to go until she accused a Black man of rape. And these racist krackers went in for the kill all over me. Now this bitch was examined top to bottom and THEIR doctors found NO EVIDENCE OF SEXUAL ASSAULT OR RAPE!! Should have been the end of it right; wrong!!! You see these racist krackers were so determined to justify the false charges of this bitch that even though there was no evidence of rape period, they soldiered on, stacked the jury with their people, made sure they didn't know about the findings of their doctors and got me convicted. There I spend quite a few years in jail for a crime NOBODY COMMITTED!!! You see this wasn't a case where the wrong man was got coz it simply DIDN'T HAPPEN! Nobody raped this woman and they knew it. Now a good part of their reasons was simply racism, the other reasons, you got me. And that's what I'm seeing in these allegations of sexualy harassment and sexual assault going on today. Now the people pushing this bullshit from behind the scenes their goal is to get Bill Cosby. You see they tried this before on him and couldnt get a conviction coz' no one believed these bogus charges. So all this bullshit about accusing all of these well to do white men they feel will creae an environment that will make it easier for them to convict Cosby this time. Notice how they called a mistrial instead of finding him innocent, they reserved a card to drag him back into court to try again! This is justice in America. They feel they can get him thrown in jail 'legally' this time when we all know this is nothing but an elaborate frame. Now notice, none of these white men have been dragged into court like they did Cosby over a situation where they already settled out of court with the woman and trhey broke the law, broke their own law to make this woman testify against Cosby in their attempts to throw this poor man in jail.But there is no mention of any of these white men getting tried for any of this. This American form of justice has two forms; the one for white men and the other for Black people. Now you're letting this bullshit get out of line, letting these women feel like they have some power finally all because you want to take down Bill Cosby. What you're doing is evil, and God is gonna' repay you in kind for this. But if you don't do something quickly this shit is gonna' blow up in your face like a nuclear bomb! As it did with me how a charge of sexual harassment all of a sudden turns into rape, what you think you'll be able to save your white buddies? Your wrong. You have forgotten that God is in control and whoever is orchestrating this nonsense you may tTHINK you're in control, but all of those you've drawn into this will find out quickly that they are vulnerable and made a big mistake agreeing to go along with your scheme. Coz' all of these dudes admitting their guilt, they had to be convinced by someone of immense power and standing to get them to do this. Like Kevin Spacey; I'm gonna be frank; I don't believe he did anything. Here's probably what happened; he and that guy did have sex, but he promised to help the boy's career in exchange for sexual services, and the boy WILLINGLY SLEPT WITH HIM and Spacey didn't keep his promise. He can't tell that side of it though coz the boy was UNDERAGE when they did it. The boy now a man is pissed that Spacey didn't keep his promise and is now lying to get his revenge finally. All these others as far as I'm concerned are lying and have been convinced to go along with this by somebody or somebodies very powerful coz' they want to take down Bill Cosby. Because to me, unless there is video, pictures, other witnesses who are not friends or family of the alleged victim, then nothing happened. You cannot take the word of an accuser as the gospel truth and claim that the one being accused is lying! If there is no other PROOF other than the word of the accuser, then nothing happened! They are setting a very bad precedent firing these peple and dragging their names through the mud on the unsubstantiated word of one person and generally people who have everything to gain by bringing these people down or a woman scorned or who slept with these men thinking it would get them what they wanted and that didn't happen. Just wonder if Berry Gordy hadn't given Dianna Ross all she wanted when she was fucking him now he probably would have wound up in prison early on being Black and all. What now if a fella' asks a girl out for a date, she happens not to like him, she can scream sexual harassment and his reputation and career is ruined. And if she wants to go further she can have him put in jail, what is this? Hell I didn't even ask this bitch who accused me on a date and all of a sudden I'm on trial for a crime THAT NEVER HAPPENED UNABLE TO GET JUSTICE AFTER TWENTY SOMETHING YEARS! May God curse the u.s.navy and the bitch who falsely accused me ruining my life. I used to believe strongly in women's rights, now I truly don't if this is how they intend to use their power to get revenge for every man who THEY FEEL ever wronged them! And ain't this rich, they get to choose if they've been wronged or not or HOW they feel they've been wronged! Is this what you want as the LAW?!!? You're in for a truth about women that I had to learn the HARD WAY!!!
I hope this educates those who have wisdom. Danny A
It's time the world comes together to stop u.s. government manipulation of the world bodies. This bullshit move to ban Russia from the winter olympics is 'punishment' for Russia interfering with their plan to tear down Syria. They had milllions, poosibly billions riding on overthrowing Syria. It's time to limit the U.S. government's influence and power to only within the borders of the U.S.onl yfor the short time remaining that they will have it. Just like China is slowly but surely stopping U.S. military from sailing the Seas of China, other countries need to begin to take similar moves. America is one country, there are more of you than there are of them. With britain by their side, that's one and a half, with britain and australia, that makes two, with britain australia new zealand and canada maybe three. Quit being scared of war, coz' it's coming anyway. Appeasement has never worked and never will work.
Russia enraged by 2018 Winter Olympics ban over doping

headquarters in Moscow, Dec. 6. (Ilnitsk/Epa-Efe/Rex/Shutterstock)
MOSCOW —
Prominent Russians expressed anger, despair and resentment on Wednesday
after the International Olympic Committee’s decision to ban the Russian
Federation from the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea.
The ban
is a historic act of punishment for widespread doping among Russian
athletes that Olympic officials believe was supported by the government.
It
was a body blow for a nation that prides itself on its sporting prowess
and was ecstatic over its victory in the 2014 Winter Olympics medal
count. Just four years later, the Russian Federation’s count will be
zero, and the country is considering a boycott.
Mikhail
Gorbachev, the former Soviet leader celebrated in the West for helping
end the Cold War, called the IOC decision “outrageous.” The decision
would ban Russia’s flag and anthem but allow individual athletes to
compete under a special designation, as Olympic Athlete from Russia
(OAR).
“It’s just bad, and that’s it,” Gorbachev told the state sport news agency, R-Sport. “It’s sport, damn it.”
Now here's a story I think everyone should read. Danny A
I had the displeasure of working for Amazon at their Obetz Ohio warehouse around September. At first I liked the job coz' after so long without a decent job I was glad to have anything. Well from the start it just tanked like a sub that hit by a torpedo. The young managers there felt like they could talk to me any kind of disrespectful way. They did everything but call me the n'word. And I could tell they really wished they could. Wasn't just the management either, but it was mostly them. They kept riding me the whole time I was there claiming I wasn't doing the work right. You see I was older than all of them and they wanted me to act like those other older blacks who were kissing their asses and thought it proper to prostrate themselves to kids who should have been showing them proper respect for a pay check. I needed a pay check too, but not at the expense of my dignity as an older man and a human being. I was shocked to see how racist they were at this place and nothing was being done about it. I should have known something was up when I saw that none of the managers were black and the other blacks knew what time it was but ignored it. I couldn't though coz' I was a man and where I'm from kids show proper respect to their elders. My manager some racist young female made it a point to fuck with me everyday trying every way she could to humiliate me and degrade me. When I told one of the other staff members I intended to go to HR on her they transferred her quickly to their Detroit operation or somewhere in Michigan. I'm sure they'll have a 'memory' lapse as it seems that was the kind of racist games they played. Then they got the next girl working on me. She would come to me and tell me that some other staff member had complained about me. She thought it was funny when I would ask who it was and she would give me some bullshit assed story that she couldn't tell me. Now if she can't tell me who this accuser was, why was she telling me about some alleged accusation. She would laugh about it as if something was so very funny. I would tell other Blacks who worked there about it, of course you can't tell a worm to stand up coz' it doesn't have a backbone. Well I searched onliine for the Amzaon office so I could report this racist nonsense that was going on here, but I didn't find anywhere where I could report to management about what was going on in this Obetz facility. I couldn't find anywhere. Coz' I waned to tell them that they needed to reconsider building their next big facility here in Columbus Ohio and they needed to go down here to Obetz and take a look at what the management here is doing. They were hassling me everyday and so I just decided not to go back and checked with quite a few lawyers to see what kind of lawsuit I could file. The problem is that the mangement of Amazon could claim they didn't know what was going on which I find is bullshit! I would remind Amazon too I am or was a customer of theirs too an so this is how you treat your customers. Since I don't have a job now thanks to these racist bastards who run your Obetz facility I have plenty of time on my hands to work on organizing a nationwide boycott of your company! Support your racist staff there. We'll see what your bottom line looks like when I manage to get millions of African Americans to boycott your company. I spent quite a bit of money with you, but there are other places I and others can go to spend our money since you employ people who have no respect for older people and African Americans! Suit yourself!
African American people you see what this brutha had to say about his experience. We need to support our own and do all we can to destroy racism wherevr we find it. Stay tuned. Danny A
Now this is heartbreaking. They found this sweet little girl dead. What kind of animal would want to murder an innocent little child. This is just, so sad. I have nothing else to say.
Tribute for missing North Carolina 3 year-old toddler found dead
Posted: Sun 7:58 PM, Dec 03, 2017
(CNN VAN) Community visits makeshift memorial for missing 3-year-old Mariah Woods.
Saturday Onslow County Sheriff Hans Miller
announced that law enforcement officials have found what appears to be
the body of missing three-year-old Mariah Woods.
Woods mother's live-in boyfriend Earl Kimrey,
reported her missing Monday morning after putting her to bed in their
Jacksonville home the previous night.
Kimrey was being held on more than $1 million
bond at the Onslow County Detention Center following his arrest for
concealing a death, obstruction of justice and other charges, the Onslow
County Sheriff's Office said.
The news was announced that a Fayetteville
dive team made the discovery Saturday evening in Shelter Creek along
Shaw Highway in Pender County.
Racism in this country isn't gonna' die until the white establishment is totally and completely destroyed and we thank the Lord for that glorious day coming soon! Here is is this teenage girl, one year from 18 who fell in love with a hispanic man and they are giving full coverage to this story as if some great tragedy happened. The two were in love, so they ran off so they could be together. NO CRIME WAS COMMITTED! Her parents were kicking up a fuss, probably because the man was hispanic, of course they'll never admit that, but he didn't harm her! They were in love and this girl is ready to be out on her own. That's why I honestly feel the age of consent needs to be 16 like it is in every other country in the fuckin' world! I myself would have had a lot less trouble if I could have left home at 16. But no REAL crime was committed except they wanted to be together and by this country's silly laws, she wasn't old enough. Mature enough but not old enough, now they're gonna' put him in jail for as long as they can and taker tthis poor girl through another round of kkk brainwashing so she'll know not to run off again with somebody that isn't white.
Now a pregnant Black woman was thrown in her bathtub and set on fire by her crazy boyfriend. She's in th hospital barely clinging on to life, but the RACIST MAINSTREAM MEDIA has said nothing about this poor woman. Instead they want to focus on this white girl, who I'm not blaming, who made a choice to pursue her own happiness with a hispanic man. This is the underlying message the media is putting out; this story got so much traction because they don't like the fact that this gorgeous little white chick fell in love with this hispanic man. He's not that much older than her. Now had he been white, this story would not be all over the country like this telling their twisted fucked up version of the facts. As for the poor Black woman, fuck her. They might do a report on her if she finally dies and her boyfriend goes on trial for murder!

A pregnant woman who was allegedly
set on fire by her boyfriend in Maryland gave birth seven weeks early to
a baby girl, reports said.
Laquinn Phillips, 34, is accused of
setting his girlfriend, Andrea Grinage, 30, on fire during a domestic
incident just before 12 p.m. Friday at their apartment in Capitol
Heights, FOX5 DC reported. Grinage banged on neighbors’ door looking for help, suffering from severe burns throughout her body.
"She was very brave," Prince George's County police
spokesperson Jennifer Donelan said. "We want her family to know how
brave she was, suffering as badly as she was, critically burned, worried
about her unborn child, dealing with those injuries and was able to
share that information with us so that we could get moving with our
investigation and locate this person."
Police said they could see smoke billowing from the second and third floors of the apartment building.
Grinage went into early labor when she was rushed to
the hospital. She and her newborn girl are in critical condition, the
victim’s mother told the news station.
Phillips was arrested after he turned himself in. He
faces charges including first and second-degree attempted murder, arson
and assault.
Okay this is some bullshit. You trying to tell me that nobody heard that
kid being snatched from a small-assed trailor? It's time to start
looking at that mother and her boyfriend. Did they sell that baby girl?
Coz this is starting to sound like some bullshit! I just want to find
the little baby alive and well.
South Carolina authorities search for missing toddler
By the CNN Wire Staff
Updated 9:22 PM ET, Thu January 26, 2012
South Carolina authorities search a wooded area Thursday for missing toddler Amir Jennings, who vanished in November.
Story highlights
Police get a "credible tip" on Amir Jennings' whereabouts, a police chief says
The toddler boy was not found by searchers on Thursday
His mother's lawyer files a motion saying she's pregnant and mentally ill
She is currently in custody on charges of child cruelty
Authorities
in South Carolina searched intently Thursday for a missing toddler who
was last seen nearly two months ago, and whose pregnant mother has been
charged with cruelty toward a child.
Columbia
police Chief Randy Scott told Vinnie Politan, of CNN's sister network
HLN, that law enforcement launched their search for Amir Jennings after
receiving what they considered "a credible tip."
Officers
from multiple agencies -- including the FBI, Richland County Sheriff's
Department, Columbia-Richland Fire Department and Columbia police --
scoured an 8-square-mile area near a small rural church, said Jennifer
Timmons, a spokeswoman for Columbia police.
"We were able to go to the area to do a grid search," said Scott. "... And fortunately, it did not turn up anything."
Amir Jennings was 17 months old when he was last seen with his mother, Zinah D. Jennings, 22, around Thanksgiving, police said.
Family
members became concerned when they could not contact Jennings or the
child, and a missing-person report was filed in early December, police
have said.
On Christmas Eve, police said, Jennings had a car accident and the responding officer recognized her name.
The
officer repeatedly asked Jennings where her child was, and she
allegedly gave "false and inconsistent information," police said. A
warrant was issued on December 29.
According
to a police report, the mother made "cryptic" phone calls to family
members, indicating her ongoing fight with depression was continuing.
This
week, Zinah Jennings' attorney Hemphill Pride II filed a motion asking
for the court to consider a reduction of the $150,000 bond. The lawyer
said in the motion that his client "emphatically denies she is guilty"
of the cruelty to children charges and that she is not a flight risk.
The
motion cites a court-ordered report from Dr. Michael Ferlauto that
claims Zinah Jennings is "mentally ill" and lacks the "insight or
capacity to make responsible decisions with respect to his/her
treatment."
Also, according to the motion, Zinah Jennings is pregnant.
"It's
shocking, disappointing," Scott said of the case. "Right now, she's not
even giving law enforcement anything on her son, her precious son that
is missing at this time. And she is expecting again."
Earlier this month, Pride indicated Zinah Jennings may be "rebellious" because of h
I find it real funny that Nancy Pelosi would demand that John Conyers step aside about this sexual accusations yet she's said nothing about Al Franken. Then some honkie reporter gonna say it's because Al Franken apologized for his wrong. BULLSHIT!! They will praise that white man for 'taking responsibility' for his alleged wrong, but if somebody Black so-called 'comes clean' that will be all the excuse they need to skewer them! I say to all Black people of any standing or position, DON'T FALL FOR IT!! You know how the whites lie so don't be fooled by this bullshit. It's just uncanny in America that no matter what happens in this wretched country racism rears it's ugly head. Just can't get away from it while the white establishment is in control of things.
Conyers hospitalized, Pelosi calls on him to resign
byAdam EdelmanandLeigh Ann Caldwell
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and other
top House Democrats on Thursday increased the pressure on Rep. John
Conyers, who is facing multiple accusations of sexual misconduct and a
House Ethics Committee probe, by calling on him to resign from office.
Pelosi's comments are a stark turnaround from
her stance on Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press" when she praised the
Michigan Democrat as an "icon," questioned who his accusers are, and
said the ethics probe should be allowed to go forward.
"Congressman Conyers should resign," Pelosi told reporters on Thursday.
"The allegations against Congressman Conyers,
as we've heard more and more since Sunday, are serious, disappointing
and very credible," she added. "It's very sad. A brave woman came
forward...Zero tolerance means consequences for everyone — no matter how
great a legacy is no license to harass or discriminate."
Pelosi changes stance, calls on Rep. Conyers to resign2:18
Conyers' attorney, however, defiantly rejected
Pelosi's calls for his client to resign and insisted no such decision
would be coming any time soon.
"It is not up to Nancy Pelosi, Nancy Pelosi
did not elect Mr. Conyers," the attorney, Arnold Reed, said at a press
conference Thursday in Detroit. "And she sure as hell won't be the one
to tell the congressman to leave."
Reed, who said there would be no decision from
Conyers about his future on Thursday or Friday, also criticized Pelosi
for demanding the lawmaker quit while not doing the same for Sen. Al
Franken, D-Minn., who is facing a growing number of accusations of
sexual misconduct. The Senate Ethics Committee announced on Thursday it
had opened an investigation into the sexual misconduct allegations
against Franken.
Meanwhile, the highest-ranking
African-American Democrat in Congress, Rep. Jim Clyburn of South
Carolina, and House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer, of Maryland, both said
later Thursday that they felt Conyers should step down.
Clyburn's office confirmed to NBC News that he
believes it is in Conyers' best interest to leave, while Hoyer said it
was "appropriate for him to resign."
Earlier Thursday, Conyers' political
consultant Sam Riddle told WDIV-TV that Conyers had been hospitalized
due to stress and he blamed the "media assault" stemming from the
allegations against the lawmaker.
