I watched Jemele and Dan too. I was in total agreement with the things they were saying. I don’t know about that other dude bring up Kurt Cobain though. WTF?

Yours and other righteous European participation gives lie to the prevailing propaganda that TSF is for Africans only and that “it’s a race card” thing. As I said before we are all links in a greater chain, with the ultimate end being us leaving a better planet and society for our children.

It’s all good!

I do have constant conflict with anger, violence and the pursuit of the higher self, but constant self evaluation and the example of the TSF family has been nudging me towards letting go of rage. I appreciate the original TSF posters for giving me a forum to express myself….warts and all!

I just want to remind all of us that every day we live is an investment for the future, those with close families will understand how much more precious it is.

I have always put stock in the quality of friends, not the quantity, because friends are the flowers in the garden of life…though we don’t know all personally, let our friendship through a higher calling be the bond to spiritual and physical freedom.

Peace and blessing

That was nice. I’m no writer and not one for superlatives, but that was cool.

And no, the TSF comments are not the only ones upset with the media handling of this, I read a couple different comment sections dealing with Sean Taylors death. All the ones I read people had an overwhelming disatisfaction with the Wilbon comments. And the Redskins page was very upset with the way a couple of writers handled this.

Nice post. Your understanding of life is unique. I appreciate your words.

you’re some writer when you’re not angry.

1 Corinthians 13

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.

Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

In order for us to ascend to the bosom of the creator, we should reflect and mirror that which is pure and true. Sean is not in anyway more special than those has gone before, yet his transition should be special in that we must let today be the turning point to self-evaluation, growth and over standing, for we are all links in a chain greater than we know.

You might want to share this trick with a friend of yours – using the Opera Browser (or any browser, but it’s easier with Opera)…

You can review ALL stories from the Associated Press run through ESPN. Since I have a few thousand of these backed up in my browser, I began to notice a trend. The AP has made a steadfast commitment to report any and all infractions (perceived or real or anticipated) with respect to player conduct.

The AP has an axe to grind. It’s a political organization with an agenda. The AP has not focused on balanced coverage of the leagues – but has instead focused on the behavior of certain players – and if you go back through the list – you won’t find dense coverage of athletes like Brady or Leinhart or others – but you will find the types of things that would raise red flags for NABJ.

I suggest that some of these journalists use a few new media tools to track old media fools. It took me two seconds to configure the browser.

That’s the way of the world. I know it – but it hurts all the same. Can “we” be made whole again? I don’t know. They say time heals all wounds – I guess that depends on how close you are.

Condolences to those in the circle who may come across these words…pray for peace — and work for justice.

A journalist just sent me this video of the Redskins press conference.

Sean Taylor was a victim; he was killed in his home doing what any real man would’ve done in that situation – defend his family.

He wasn’t drunk behind the wheel, he wasn’t out at a club in a gunfight and he wasn’t somewhere poppin’ pills or snortin’ coke, he was in what he thought was the safest place he could be…his home.

For those that want to speculate and put a man’s life under a microscope when his life is no more. You’re act is more cowardice than the act that took his life.

Many of you have done things far worse than what Sean did in his brief life , the only reason that it is not known is because of who you/we are…common people, we can do things and it can be kept on the DL or whatever. As a professional athlete Sean lived a life of privilege, but with that privilege a certain degree of privacy is sacrificed, the majority of your life is shared with millions – be it right, wrong or indifferent.

A wise man once told me that character is not what you do when people are watching – it’s what you do when no one is watching. If that is true then we all have character flaws and need to take a gut check before we set out to criticize others.

Thanks for the info. I hope the police find the people responsible. I need to see just want kind of sad individual does something like this. They could have killed an 18 month old child. What a coward.

If a man dieing while getting up in the middle of the night to try and protect his family doesn’t move you on some level then you are truly beyond help.

R.I.P. Sean

Listen people, when folks like Darius come on the site, their aim is to upset the thread.

Pay them no mind

Translation: Please people, if you’re going to be racist or obnoxious then please restrict the hostility and aim it at white people only. That’s perfectly acceptable. But, if you have the gall to challenge the racists, well then, I’ll just have to shut this thread down right quick. Any dissent on my gestapo-like censored blog, anything that strays from the official state party line which advocates sweeping caricatures of caucasians, is wholly unwelcome.

I don’t have the power to discriminate against whites you DUMBASS so the charge of racist is ill founded like your posts.

People like Darius (Friedman really) are to be expected on occassions such as this…its what they do…..its their calling. We can’t forget that some callings come from the other place.

Then why don’t you make the very same suggestion to the racist posts in this very same thread, already accusing the “white media” of doing racist things that they haven’t even done yet??? Why are you so selective in who you choose to rebuke about staying on point about Taylor’s death? You mean to say that you can be obnoxious, racist, and off point as you want to be, so long as it involves obnoxious and unfounded accusations about white people? That somehow gets a pass on this day in your book? Why?
