Rocking all black today
I'm excited that the Jena 6 is finally getting some mainstream news coverage. Sure they may have mentioned it before, but ABC and other outlets have flown reporters in to cover the march. They even asked the President about it today in a press conference. He wasn't really trying to make a statement about it race relations. He said he wants justice to be fair or something like that. He focused on the judicial process that may have failed, but avoided the racism that caused its failure. Typical.
I'm off to the March in DC.. as a reporter. I know I've always been a journalist, but I've recently learned that news reporters can't march and support causes. Boy this is going to be tough.

Mychal Bell was ordered back to jail yesterday. He's now serving 10 months for violating his parole during the noose retalliation fight. :-(
His father was on the radio this morning. Not only did his dad get fired on Tuesday, for missing too much work due to court dates (well that's the reason they gave him); but Mychal's parents must pay about $600/month for his imprisonment fees (basically child support that goes to the state system).
Ain't that about a bitch?!!
