Kassie…Thanks. We wrote about John White back in December 2007 when it happened…before 20/20. http://hellonegro.com/2007/12/29/jury-convicts-black-man-in-murder-of-white-youth/

Lots of news to report….whole lot of news. Stuff is happening with black folk everywhere…we try to stay on top of things.

Well, this is what happens when Egos’ get in the way of an Eagle!

It’s amazing how we are so concern about Tavis Smiley when a black man in Long Island New York is fighting for his civil rights that will have an everlasting effect on all black americans.

TJ, I ask you to devote some time to the John White issue (Google John White and the Miller Place Shooting). Mr. White recently appeared on 20/20. His situation is unbelievable for the year 2008. Now, having made both of you aware…,

Sorry TJ and Tavis, there are many more important issues that we must deal with in our communities. At this time, we must stay focus and press on and deal with issues destroying our communities so our children will have a chance to have productive lives..

So, Tavis if you must take your ball and run, then run on. Black America loves you, but we can’t deal with the Ego standing infront of the Eagle!

I’ve always respected Tavis, but I can’t say that I’m sad to see him go. If he can’t handle criticism any better than this, perhaps it’s time for him to move on.

I am glad to hear Tavis is gone. Its about time he see its not all about him. His commentary are made for some people with PHD’s to understand what he is saying. You need a dictionary to know what hes talking about and some of his commentary, he repeats the sentence as though we are babies. It got to the point that when he came on, my radio went off. Let him go and do his commentary in the Clinton’s troop. He must know by now that Barack is for the human race, not just the black race. Tavis is for Tavis race with his huge ego. I am so glad hes gone, my prayers where answered. We have others that just as qualified as him.

i have never really liked tavis anyway and most of his views i didn’t agree with, but he did talk about things that others wouldn’t talk about,and gave his honest view,and thats all he needed to do was give an honest view and then let us decide if we agree or disagree.he’ll be back,and i hope he will, he showed no fear in his views and he had a certain fire that we need to hear

Good riddance! I hope Hillary is answering all of his covenants and being accountable to all black people. I could care less about Tavis “in the pocket of Hillary and corporate America” Smiley. I lost respect for him when he was riding against Barrack. I lost even more respect for him when he tried to sabotage Barrack by inviting him to the black state of the union, knowing that it would polarize him in the eyes of America. Can you imagine the field day that the MSM would have had with clips from the Union? We need to put the pressure on the negro mafia. Michael Nutter, Julian Bond, Charlie “reinstate the draft” Rangle and a host of others are next!

Well of course we still love Tavis. I am sure that alot of us were criticising him from a place of respect and at the same time some of us were not.
He is a journalist and a professional and I am sure he knows this.
Sometimes you have to pick your battles and maybe he does just need a break for a bit. If that is case I can understand that. get rested and get back in the game.
Maybe he is “taking his ball and going home”. If thats the case as we all know and he will soon find out he aint the only kid on the street with a ball and the rest of us will start a new game while he is in the house pouting.
