I just wanted to say THANK YOU for your comments at womanmustings some people just don’t get it and thank you for the post on Oscar Grant. I hope it doesn’t piss you off but I wonder why the MEDIA isn’t being held to task?! I mean a lot of white people in the media are STILL harping on the O.J. case[and so are some black people] yet he and Sean Bell,Amadou Diallo,and the names you mentioned get ignored perhaps you could write one I’d love to hear more of your insight.
Starting (finally) to read through your blog. Never liked you more. Doing the “proud quasi-aunt dance” with much vigor!
Hope to see you and M in a few weeks.
