The FBI is looking at a white supremacist Web site that lists the addresses of the Jena 6 — or at least five of the six black youths accused by a Louisiana district attorney of beating a white classmate. The site “essentially called for their lynching,” an agency [...]

SPAIN!!!

Hello all, I am in Spain. Barcelona, Spain, to be exact! It is cool... real cool. The women are beautiful, the people take their time, no one is fat, and I can´t hardly understand anyone. It reminds me of when I first moved to Texas -- minus the fat part.

LIMA (AFP) - Villagers in southern Peru were struck by a mysterious illness after a meteorite made a fiery crash to Earth in their area, regional authorities said Monday.

Around midday Saturday, villagers were startled by an explosion and a fireball that many were convinced was an airplane crashing near their remote village, located in the high Andes department of Puno in the Desaguadero region, near the border with Bolivia.

Residents complained of headaches and vomiting brought on by a "strange odor," local health department official Jorge Lopez told Peruvian radio RPP.

Seven policemen who went to check on the reports also became ill and had to be given oxygen before being hospitalized, Lopez said.

Rescue teams and experts were dispatched to the scene, where the meteorite left a 100-foot-wide (30-meter-wide) and 20-foot-deep (six-meter-deep) crater, said local official Marco Limache.

"Boiling water started coming out of the crater and particles of rock and cinders were found nearby. Residents are very concerned," he said.

Court Overturns Conviction in Jena Beating

Judges rule teen should not have been tried as adult in racially tinged case

JENA, La. - A state appeals court on Friday threw out the only remaining conviction against one of the black teenagers accused in the beating of a white schoolmate in the racially tense Louisiana town of Jena.

Mychal Bell, 17, should not have been tried as an adult, the state 3rd Circuit Court of Appeal said in tossing his conviction on aggravated battery, for which he was to have been sentenced Thursday. His conspiracy conviction in the December beating of student Justin Barker was already thrown out by another court.

Bell, who was 16 at the time of the beating, and four others were originally charged with attempted second-degree murder. Those charges brought widespread criticism that blacks were being treated more harshly than whites following racial altercations involving Jena High.

Bell's original conviction, which was for aggravated second-degree battery and conspiracy to commit aggravated second-degree battery, could have led to a sentence of more than 20 years.

Civil rights leaders, including the Revs. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, had been planning a rally in support of the teens for the day Bell was to have been sentenced.

Teenagers can be tried as adults in Louisiana for some violent crimes, including attempted murder, but aggravated battery is not one of those crimes, the court said.

Defense lawyers had argued that the aggravated battery case should not have been tried in adult court once the attempted murder charge was reduced.

The case "remains exclusively in juvenile court," the Third Circuit ruled.

Jena 6 & Black Woman Kidnapped, Tortured and Sexually Assaulted (while being called the N-word)

Just when I am thinking, "All white people are cool," or "Maybe racism is going away." More on this later.

I had writers block y'all, but now kevINda has a whole new show... it's all in my head, but when it gets on paper, it's OVER!!!!

For the White people that are setting back your race, thank you for the material. No, don't even say it. Michael Vick doesn't even compare.

Child Fu*ker - Part 2

Yes, that is kevINda's Kevin Douglas (credited as Kevin Douglass, because you know how we deux and, apparently, proofreading is only for White people) in the Trapped in the Closet video as "Chuck's Mouth."

We have principles, but sometimes they get trumped by the need to pay the rent.

CHILD FU*KER!

R. Kelly's trial for having sex with and pissing on a child while videotaping the acts has been delayed yet again. Oh, that's right, we're supposed to front and call it a child pornography case. Because as bad as child pornography sounds, it still gives some distance and doesn't sound quite as bad as PISSING ON A CHILD AND FU*KING THE CHILD WHILE VIDEOTAPING YOURSELF PISSING ON AND FU*KING A CHILD. So that's what we'll call it. Child pornography.

This time it's the prosecution's side. It happened (allegedly... we're supposed to front and say that, right?) in 2002 and dude's been making money and records and those ridonkulous (as in stupid -- as in bad -- it's not slang anymore, people, I mean they're HORRIBLE) Trapped in the Closet videos and this thing still hasn't gone to trial. We're all trapped.

And don't ya dare say that we're supposed to support the brotha because he's a brotha. I don't care if he's Black Jesus -- if he pisses on a child and has sex with the child, he's not worth support. I can't even make any jokes about it. Probably because I have kids. Not as old as the one in question. And the scary thing is that at 10, my daughter probably has better judgment than that girl did. But he was a full-grown man. And wrong is wrong. And none of that b.s. about innocent until proven guilty. I live in the Chi. Or the suburbs thereof. Everybody who's been here for any length of time can attest to his affinity for the youngens. And everybody who's dared watch the tape... ooh, I'm just getting myself all worked up. Where's the funny?

Entourage Season Finale

Here's what happens in my season finale of Entourage, the one that plays in my head, because I'm so sick of those rich-ass, lazy, misogynistic, unaffected assholes:

1. Medellin sucks at Cannes.
2. Back in LA, Ari's wife leaves him.
3. Billy finds the bullets and goes on a murder/suicide spree, killing his girlfriend and then himself.
4. Turtle smokes some PCP-laced weed and crashes his (oops, I mean Vince's) car.
5. E, in the meantime, has taken the wrong plane back from France and ends up in Darfur. Nuff said.
6. Turtle just so happened to have had naked photos in the car at the time of his crash. They were of his "female Turtle" girlfriend (whatever happened to her?... oh, that's right, it was a real storyline) and turns out she's underage. Now some big, lonely prisoner is yelling, "Oh, Turtle!"
7. Drama... Drama doesn't bother me, actually, so he goes to work and does his job. There.
8. Vince finds out he's HIV positive. 'Cuz he's a whore.
9. LLOYD STARTS HIS OWN BOUTIQUE AGENCY AND HE'S A HUGE SUCCESS!
