		<description>i can agree with alot of your points and I am not trying to disagree for the sake of disagreeing. In fact I was directing my comments to another person and any others who felt like he had it coming to him or where making assumptions that were not true. For the record I never thought Ms. Henry getting smacked was funny- I think her civil suit is a joke however that just holds up to the woman stereotype of gold digging. Why is she not suing the person who smacked her? Because that is not where the big payout is. But as a woman who has been physically abused I do not condone or find any act of violence funny or amusing I was just pointing out why others found it funny- the extreme exaggeration on her part to try and get some money.</description>

IT&#039;S OBVIOUS YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO LIKES TO DISAGREE FOR THE SAKE OF DISAGREEING OR ARGUE JUST TO HEAR THEMSELVES TALK WITH NO REAL GOAL IN MIND



SMDH IS NOT ME AND I AM NOT HER WE HAPPEN TO THINK SIMILARLY ON THIS PARTICULAR SUBJECT



BUT ANY HOW-YOU MINIMIZING AND STATING THAT OLE GIRL GETTING SMACKED WAS EVEN A BIT FUNNY JUST SHOWS YOUR MIND SET-THE POINT IS A SLAP CAN ESCALATE TO SOMEONE GETTING KILLED-WE SHOULDN&#039;T CONDONE ANY ACT OF VIOLENCE



WHEN YOU DO-ALL ACTS OF VIOLENCE ARE MINIMIZED HENCE THE GROWING RATE OF BLACK ON BLACK CRIME-AND VERY LITTLE ACTION FROM THE BLACK COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE WE HAVE BECOME TOO DESENSITIZED

MY SISTER YOU CAN&#039;T BE THAT BLIND NOT TO SEE THAT LITTLE INCIDENTS OF VIOLENCE CAN AND TYPICALLY DO ADVANCE TO KILLINGS



DO YOU KNOW HOW OUR LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENT PREDICT FUTURE MURDERS BY THE INCIDENTS OF REPORTED ASSAULTS-THEY TOO KNOW THAT A SMALL ACT OF VIOLENCE MAY LEAD TO MURDER



SO GET YOUR MIND RIGHT MY COMPARISON JUST SHOWS HOW IGNORANT PEOPLE ARE TO ACT ALL SURPRISE WHEN A MAN GETS SHOT COLD BLOOD-WHEN YESTERDAY WE WAS TEE HEE HAAING ABOUT A PREGNANT WOMAN GETTING HER AZZ BEAT AND WHAT&#039;S SAD IS THAT YOU DON&#039;T SEE THE CORRELATION



AND IT&#039;S SO FUNNY IF YOU RE-READ THE POST ABOUT THE WOMAN BEING OUT-DIDN&#039;T PEOPLE JUDGE HER FOR BEING OUT AT THE CLUB FOR JUST HAVING A NIGHT OF FUN, CALLED HER A GOLD DIGGING HOE, AND IRREGARDLESS OF WHAT SHE &quot;SAID&quot; SHE DIDN&#039;T HIT ANYONE RIGHT?



AND LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING SISTER, FOR A LONG TIME WOMEN LIKE YOU AND BEFORE YOU HAVE SET BACK AND EXCUSED BAD BEHAVIOR BY OUR BOYS BUT IN THE SAME BREATH CHASTIZED OUR GIRLS-YOU SOUND LIKE ONE OF THEM-LIFE IS FULL CIRLCE AND TRUST AND BELIEVE YOU ME ONE DAY YOU WILL SEE THAT &quot;EVERYONE MAN OR WOMAN&quot; SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR &quot;THEIR&quot; ACTIONS AND IF YOU ALLOW ONE &quot;VICTIM&quot; TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ASSAULT-PEOPLE WILL MAKE THE SAME ARGUMENT THAT &quot;THE SHOT ATHLETE&quot; CONTRIBUTED TO HIS ASSAULT-IS IT RIGHT NO BUT THE COMPARISON IS THE SAME THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS ONE IS A BLACK MAN AND ONE IS A BLACK WOMAN AND IT&#039;S OBVIOUS THAT &quot;THE BLACK MAN&quot; RECEIVED MUCH MORE SYMPATHY THAN &quot;THE BLACK WOMAN&quot; AND YOU WOULD LIKE TO BELIEVE THAT&#039;S BECAUSE HER INJURIES WEREN&#039;T LIFE THREATENING-IT COULD HAVE BEEN AND I DOUBT SHE WOULD RECEIVE AS MUCH SYMPATHY EVEN THEN



YOUR BOY HOT SAUCE PUT IT BEST SHE&#039;S A HOOD HO AND THAT&#039;S WHY-AND WHAT&#039;S EVEN SAID IS WOMAN LIKE YOU BUY INTO THAT......GET YOUR MIND RIGHT YOUR A WOMAN AND YOU CAN&#039;T BE THAT BLIND TO NOT SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOW BLACK MEN AND WOMEN ARE VIEWED AND TALKED ABOUT ON THIS VERY BLOG



AND IF THAT WERE YOU OR YOUR DAUGHTER-I DOUBT YOU WOULD HAVE FOUND THE SITUATION FUNNY AT ALL-BUT LET ME GUESS YOU WOULDN&#039;T HAVE BEEN POPPIN OFF AT THE MOUTH, YOU WOULDN&#039;T BE IN THAT SITUATION, YOU KEEP ON LIVING IT JUST MAY BE IF A MAN WILL RAISE HIS HAND TO STRIKE THAT WOMAN HE WILL STRIKE ANY WOMAN-INCLUDING YOU AND YOU WON&#039;T BE LAUGHING THEN WILL YOU......</description>

		<description>And as far as Ms. Henry- the woman who was slapped(not beaten as some are saying- because no way a man is going to BEAT a small woman and all she has is a scratch above her lip) NO violence is never the answer. But to compare her scratch to gunshot wounds is really pushing the limits. People were laughing because it was a non life threatening issue with her- she had a scratch and she is claiming permanent facial disfigurement- so yes that is funny. And as far as her child being in danger- everybody said she was going off and causing an argument at the club. It seems the new girlfriend and Northcutt were smart enough to stay out of it physically. Obviously the cousin was not as smart and has a temper and felt like he should bitch smack her. Is that right? No. Was she right confronting people at a club and putting her unborn childs life in danger NO. Verbal confrontations are violence as well.</description>

		<description>OK- I actually was speaking to SMDH but maybe you two are one in the same...&quot;hiding behind a keyboard&quot; one can have multiple identities. But I never said an athletes life was more valuable than the next persons life. But I did say I have a problem with people acting like he had it coming. But the truth of the matter alot of black men get shot every night athlete or non athlete. So maybe the media wants to make out as &quot;athletes&quot; getting shot. But really its just black men getting shot. Look the main person hyping up the cause of black people getting it together Mr. Bill Cosby- what happened to his black son- shot and killed. So don&#039;t misinterpret what I was tring to say I never said his life was more valuable but I do think as a human being he deserves NOT to be judged because he is an athlete who was out having a good time on the night before his day off. Don&#039;t we all deserve that???</description>

		<description>Nobody is blaming the victim to say the least just pointing out a pattern-c&#039;mon people stop being shallow and touching the surface of the conversation both of you &quot;me&quot; and &quot;ny2duval&quot; know good and damn well we aren&#039;t just specifically taking this one incident and saying this man per se for what has happened to him..not back peddling not one bit but what I am saying is this we were so quick to judge those other women who were victims of crime on this very same blog and we even laughed and joked about it, and went as far as to say she deserved it and all i am saying one you condone one act of violence no matter how miniscule you believe to be it only opens the door to more violence and even death-in our community or in society as a whole no one person&#039;s live should be deemed as less valuable than the other when that is done then really you are tearing at the seams of morality and the lines begin to blur-if black women and our chidren are deemed as less valuable or favorable, then when something happens to us we don&#039;t rally or better yet the men who should protect us laugh, degrade, and humiliate, and even blame us for what happened to us, but on the other hand a black man because he has made it out the hood and is an athlete is deemed more valuable and worthy than we are, and guess what some man and I will make the assumption a man of color-who didn&#039;t get the memo that athletes with dough aren&#039;t on the less valued list, still shot his azz ya dig



all I&#039;m saying is no one life is more or less valauble than the other and when we lessen one act of violence or better yet blame one victim for being violated and not the other then you are setting the standards that &quot;that value varies from person to person&quot; right?



So don&#039;t patronize me with the circumstances sorrounding this unfortunate situation-the sh#t is what it is all day long-and we all as a whole have created our current circumstances when we say that any &quot;one&quot; person life is less valuable than another-



don&#039;t blame me for pointing out the blatant disparities between the pregnant woman who got her azz whupped and this man getting shot-hell what do you expect if you laughed at that then why is this not funny as well?????????  When we tolerate any act of violence or justify it with any type of rationale then all lives are at risk-because the whole world knows that we as a black community have basically punked out as a whole and we will justify and rationalize anything so we can sleep at night if we blame the victim-hey they brought on themselves that&#039;s so much easier than actually uniting &amp; taking a stand against the violent perpetrator- just to think our ancestors died for us to have the right to vote, to be free, and for us to have the right to get an education and earn equal salaries as those of whites, and we are to damn weak to stand up to the punks in our neighborhoods, and what&#039;s really sad is I&#039;m a woman a black woman at that, and 9 times out of 10 when there is a trigger being pulled it&#039;s by the hands of a black man-if more of you were home raising your children &amp; with black women we could could fight against violence together as a &quot;black family&quot; but what yall don&#039;t see is that&#039;s the root of the problem-





BLACK MEN RETURN HOME TO YOUR FAMILIES, SHOW UP IN OUR COMMUNITIES, PROTECT WOMEN AND CHILDREN, AND STAND UP TO THESE CRIMINALS IN OUR STREETS-IT&#039;S STARTS WITH YOU-A STRONG BLACK FAMILY BEGINS WITH YOU!</description>

<p>So don&#8217;t patronize me with the cir*****stances sorrounding this unfortunate situation-the sh#t is what it is all day long-and we all as a whole have created our current cir*****stances when we say that any &#8220;one&#8221; person life is less valuable than another-</p>
<p>don&#8217;t blame me for pointing out the blatant disparities between the pregnant woman who got her azz whupped and this man getting shot-hell what do you expect if you laughed at that then why is this not funny as well?????????  When we tolerate any act of violence or justify it with any type of rationale then all lives are at risk-because the whole world knows that we as a black community have basically punked out as a whole and we will justify and rationalize anything so we can sleep at night if we blame the victim-hey they brought on themselves that&#8217;s so much easier than actually uniting &amp; taking a stand against the violent perpetrator- just to think our ancestors died for us to have the right to vote, to be free, and for us to have the right to get an education and earn equal salaries as those of whites, and we are to damn weak to stand up to the punks in our neighborhoods, and what&#8217;s really sad is I&#8217;m a woman a black woman at that, and 9 times out of 10 when there is a trigger being pulled it&#8217;s by the hands of a black man-if more of you were home raising your children &amp; with black women we could could fight against violence together as a &#8220;black family&#8221; but what yall don&#8217;t see is that&#8217;s the root of the problem-</p>
<p>BLACK MEN RETURN HOME TO YOUR FAMILIES, SHOW UP IN OUR COMMUNITIES, PROTECT WOMEN AND CHILDREN, AND STAND UP TO THESE CRIMINALS IN OUR STREETS-IT&#8217;S STARTS WITH YOU-A STRONG BLACK FAMILY BEGINS WITH YOU!</p>

		<description>Yes &quot;me&quot; I see the judgement as usual- everybody can sit at their little desk and play God and act like they know it all and are better than everybody else. I hope the above article shows something about this mans character. Somebody who worked hard to get to where he is but is still not perfect- none of us are. But he is not a violent person and in no way did he deserve what happened to him. He was doing what most men do after the club- probably trying to go to breakfast or hook up with women. I doubt the women had anything to do with it- why would they take him to where they lived only to have him shot. But I do know that the area that they live is very close to the club- so it is possible he was followed. But that could happen to anybody. And please note the article states- &quot;middle to upper middle class neighborhood&quot; NOT THE HOOD come on people lets get it together and stop the self hate - yes i am talking to you SMDH</description>
