  LaToya Jackson: Michael Was 'Murdered'

  Speaking out for the first time, the grieving sister of Michael Jackson says 
she thinks "a shadowy entourage" led to the death of her brother, accusing them 
of "murdering" him.
  Speaking with Britain's Daily Mail, LaToya Jackson -- who signed the King of 
Pop's death certificate -- says that Michael was an isolated figure, making him 
easy prey for greedy associates. She accuses these people, whether it be 
doctors, handlers or assistants, of feeding Jackson drugs to control his moods 
in order to get what they want. 
  "I believe Michael was murdered, I felt that from the start. Not just one 
person was involved, rather it was a conspiracy of people. He was surrounded by 
a bad circle. Michael was a very meek, quiet, loving person. People took 
advantage of that. People fought to be close to him, people who werenâ?Tt 
always on his side," LaToya said.
  LaToya then said that she predicted her brother's demise "Less than a month 
ago." 
  Skip over this content 
  "'Heâ?Ts never going to make it to London. He was worth more dead than 
alive," LaToya said she told fellow Jackson family members, 
  "I said I thought Michael was going to die before the London shows because he 
was surrounded by people who didnâ?Tt have his best interests at heart. Michael 
was worth more than a billion dollars. When anyone is worth that much money, 
there are always greedy people around them."
  LaToya continues, saying that in the final months, her brother "was isolated 
from his family. He had no real friends. He was the loneliest man in the world. 
I knew something terrible was going to happen."
  She also takes on the speculation as to what role Jackson's doctor, Conrad 
Murray, played in the King of Pop's final hours. 
  LaToya says Murray "disappeared" from the hospital after she began peppering 
him with questions about her brother's health. She says that Jackson was found 
in Murray's bedroom in the rental house, and that oxygen canisters and IV bags 
lined the walls.

  Jackson says that Murray "mumbled a bunch of nothing" as she grilled him with 
questions. "He said something like, 'Michael didnâ?Tt make it, Iâ?Tm sorry.' It 
wasnâ?Tt right. It felt weird."
  LaToya also goes on to retell just exactly how her life changed when she got 
the frantic phone call about her brother.
  "I was at home when I received the news that Michael had been rushed to the 
hospital. I live about three minutes away from Michael in Beverly Hills," 
LaToya said. 
  "Finally, I heard Mother in the background asking, 'Who is that?' When she 
learned it was me, she screamed, 'Why donâ?Tt you just tell her?' and she 
grabbed the phone and just screamed as loud as she could, "He's dead!'"
  Jackson says she "nearly crashed my car. My legs went weak. I couldnâ?Tt 
press down on the gas pedal. I got to the wrong entrance at the hospital and 
was begging the security guys to help me and take my car because I was so weak 
and faint. They took me up to the area where Michael had been taken. Mother was 
crying and Michaelâ?Ts kids were crying."
  LaToya says she and Jackson's three children then went to view his body. 
  "There was a towel over his face and I lifted it and the kids saw him and 
Paris said, 'Oh Daddy, I love you.' We hugged and kissed him and the children 
lifted up his hands. He didn't look like he was gone. His eyes were half open 
and he looked like he was sleeping. He wasnâ?Tt cold."

And Deacon Jones is the guy who introduces you to your new life. The white dude 
who's newly resurrected is given a videotape of Jones, who all but explodes 
from the TV in his fervor. He gives the hapless dude the scoop on his new life, 
and then, leaning even further into the camera, Jones says "And one more 
thing--Nooo sex!" 

You see, there are all these evil undead/zombie like people called "Moorlocks" 
(I think) who look like humans most of the time. The newly resurrected 
do-gooders have a lease on life that's odd: they can't commit anything 
considered a "mortal sin", or they're toast. Well, it seems that having sex 
with a Moorlock is a mortal sin, and, since you can't tell them from humans, 
it's better to simply avoid the whole affair rather than risk that. 

It was really good, quirky, fun show, with great characters. Think "Reaper" 
with a bit more humor and danger. Gone too soon. Brooks was perfect for his 
role, his deep, almost pained way of speaking lending itself to the dry humour 
of the show. I remember one show when he was talking to his partner about the 
need to be celibate and how hard it was. He reminisced about this one Sister he 
was really tempted by. The description: "She was a backup singer with Gap Band, 
and man could she burn some pork chops in the kitchen!" 

I still roll with laughter thinking of that line. You really have to hear it to 
experience the full effect.

It had Richard Brooks of "Law & Order" and Clayton Rohner playing 
two formerly dead men who are resurrected by the forces of Good to return 
demons to Hell. They have no powers and only magical gizmos to do so, while the 
demons are fully powered. 

Oh -- and they can't have any contact with people in their past lives. 

And no sex. 8-O

Re: [scifinoir2] Bill Cosby Does it Again... Profound!

[Martin Baxter]

Bosco, I still have to ride with Cosby after reading that, even though I don't 
see totally eye-to-eye with him..

Kids are wearing baggy pants to identify with the fact that their pants fall 
down after their belts are taken from them after being put in jail. IMO, 
nothing to "identify" with. And Dyson has to *show* me the historical 
significance of names like Shaniqua and Taliqua. I've been to Africa three 
times, and have *yet* to run into a native woman with either of those names. (I 
admit that I didn't go there to gather names, just to see the place.) And I 
once had a native of the Ivory Coast to tell me, to my face (politely, though) 
that I was wrong in referring to myself as an African-American, that I would 
stick out like a sore thumb if I set foot on the continent. (And he was right.)

"...overemphasis on personal responsibility..." That's one of the 
major problems in the world right now, that there isn't *enough* of that, in 
*all* races and cultures. 

However, Cosby *does* fail to take into account the need of many single Black 
parents to work long hours to keep hearth and home together costing in the 
parent-child relationship.

we've got these knuckleheads walking around. 

The lower economic people are not holding up their end in this deal. 

These people are not parenting. They are buying things for kids. 

$500 sneakers for what? 

And they won't spend $200 for Hooked on Phonics. 

I am talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an

Where were you when he was 2?

Where were you when he was 12? 

Where were you when he was 18 and how come you didn't know that he had a

And where is the father? Or who is his father? 

People putting their clothes on backward: 
Isn't that a sign of something gone wrong? 

People with their hats on backward, pants down around the crack, isn't that a

Isn't it a sign of something when she has her dress all the way up and got all

What part of Africa did this come from?? 

We are not Africans. Those people are not Africans; they don't know a thing

The female vampire gives him poison so he can commit suicide instead of being 
executed. He looks out and sees the terrified faces of all the living vampires 
and realizes that in this world the vampires are the norm and that he is the 
thing that goes bump in the night(or day in their case). 

He takes the poison and muses that now he is the legend.

Amen to that. The comments about Malia Obama at the Free Republic and the Young 
Republican controversy are just the tip of the iceberg. There a segment of the

unfortunately they are the inmates that seem to be running the asylum.

Re: [RE][scifinoir2] Bill Cosby Does it Again... Profound!

[Daryle Lockhart]

This is neither profound nor relevant. It's old.  It's what he said  
in DC.

And it was 2-dimensional thinking back then.

His fear of embracing Africa is a symptom of him spending more time  
in the offices at NBC and not enough time understanding his audience.  
I am very aware that producer Marcy Carsey had a better understanding  
of The Cosby Show's audience than Dr. Cosby.

This "you kids get off my lawn and get a haircut" routine sounds good  
at a gathering where we're all Black and trying to feel positive,  
because we all want there to  be a simple answer to how to  properly   
respond to a thousand years of systematic deception and violence,   
but none of his tirade is relevant to the problems facing the people  
he's making  fun of. And he IS making fun of them. No,  scratch that.  
Of US. His "we aren't from Africa" bit disrespects my  mother, who  
taught her sons African principles to reinforce values like honor and  
hard work. American history does not teach you that. He's pandering  
to an audience so hard that  he's not seeing that  there are  
countless success stories that  come out of the very environment he's  
talking about. People who could have helped him buy NBC when he was  
trying. He's generalizing  a segment of Black people he has no  
connection to or association with.  Just  what we DON'T need.

To come around in 2009,  or whenever he said this, and criticize  
people that he, himself had ignored for decades, but  helped sell  
Jell-O to, is ridiculous.  He missed an entire art movement born out  
of poverty, and all he sees are sagging pants."We've got to do  
better" is rhetoric.  "I'm building a school" is justice and progress.

When jazz musicians were creating  bebop and new terms of slang,   
mainstream media did not embrace them. Most folks made fun of them,  
and intellectuals talked about how "crazy" they looked and sounded  
with their loud clothes and loud,  confusing  music. Now we play  
Dizzy and Monk and talk about their genius.

"Personal responsibility" is rhetoric. The problem is, and was,  
family. And true, actual, hands on support systems for true, actual  
modern day communities and families.  Bill Cosby is encouraging us to  
allow someone's dress and speech to stand in the way of us putting  
them on the right path. Melvin van Peebles didn't dress or act   
properly, and that  didn't stop  him from lending him $50,000 to make  
"Sweet Sweetback's Badass Song", a film where Melvin had his son  
Mario have sex on camera.

Supporting Black kids who apply to and get accepted to HBCUs is not  
enough, when most of the people he's talking about are dropping out  
of school  before the 6th  grade. It's not about blaming people it's  
about seeing the problem for what it is and addressing it. A lot of  
football players have educational foundations and regularly  give to  
the  high schools they  came from. A large  number  of people who  
understand what is going on are focused on elementary and middle  
schools. About promoting adoption. And we're not concerned about a  
damned backwards hat.

Bill Cosby, with all due respect, is Black America OS 1.5. Version 3  
is in beta right now. There  may not be many of us who have installed  
it, but it was officially made available for download on January 20.

Mr. Worf, this is my chief pet peeve - how the heck DID she drive to Manhattan 
when all the bridges had been blown up to protect the island of Manhattan from 
the raging contagion?  Then, how did she and her son DRIVE to Vermont?  I'm 
just sayin'

[scifinoir2] Obama's choice for Surgeon General: Change We Can Believe In

[ravenadal]

President Obama has chosen Dr. Regina Benjamin as his choice for the next 
surgeon general.  Dr. Benjamin, a black woman, is the founder and CEO of Bayou 
La Batre Rural Health Clinic in Bayou La Batre, Alabama.  In 1995 , Dr. 
Benjamin became the first black woman and the youngest doctor elected to serve 
on the board of the American Medical Association.  In 1998, she received the 
Nelson Mandela Award for Health and Human Rights.  In 2008, she received a 
MacArthur Foundation "genius grant" supporting her efforts to treat patients in 
the Gulf Coast region regardless of their ability to pay.

Re: [scifinoir2] Bill Cosby Does it Again... Profound!

[Daryle Lockhart]

Oh what the hell, I'll take it. The historical significance is that   
it's Black people trying to identify themselves instead of accepting  
names given to us. That's important.

A white male can rename himself "Neo". A Black woman can name her  
daughter "Reynisha". Same rules apply.

Kugichagulia.

Thank you for the info! Did the book explain the effects of the vampire
disease? Did they have any powers? Can they reproduce? Just curious how much
of a difference the book versus the movies are.

Re: [scifinoir2] Bill Cosby Does it Again... Profound!

[Mr. Worf]

I have been holding back on this topic. I think that some of the things that
Mr. Cosby said are correct, while other things show a sign of him being out
of touch. His point of view comes more from an "assimilationist" point of
view which is "let's do our best to fit in and not disturb the white man."

Our people have been seeking our own identity for generations and it has
shown up for good and bad in our speech, social norms, food and
entertainment.  Despite Mr. Cosby's ramblings, it has been appropriated by
every other culture on the planet!

It is much too easy to have a counter-argument for most of the statements
made in his speech, so I will stop here.

When I heard that Dr Benjamin had rebuilt a clinic post-Katrina, in spite of 
FEMA's best efforts, she won my vote.

[Martin Baxter]

Okay, Daryle. That explanation I can understand and accept, though it unnerves 
me because of the ridicule I've seen women of color subjected to by Whites 
because of that decision. And had to break up a few fights as a result.

Oh what the hell, I'll take it. The historical significance is that 
it's Black people trying to identify themselves instead of accepting 
names given to us. That's important.

A white male can rename himself "Neo". A Black woman can name her 
daughter "Reynisha". Same rules apply.

Amen!  AND the clinic burned down after that, and she rebuilt it again!

And Deacon Jones is the guy who introduces you to your new life. The white dude 
who's newly resurrected is given a videotape of Jones, who all but explodes 
from the TV in his fervor. He gives the hapless dude the scoop on his new life, 
and then, leaning even further into the camera, Jones says "And one more 
thing--Nooo sex!" 

You see, there are all these evil undead/zombie like people called "Moorlocks" 
(I think) who look like humans most of the time. The newly resurrected 
do-gooders have a lease on life that's odd: they can't commit anything 
considered a "mortal sin", or they're toast. Well, it seems that having sex 
with a Moorlock is a mortal sin, and, since you can't tell them from humans, 
it's better to simply avoid the whole affair rather than risk that. 

It was really good, quirky, fun show, with great characters. Think "Reaper" 
with a bit more humor and danger. Gone too soon. Brooks was perfect for his 
role, his deep, almost pained way of speaking lending itself to the dry humour 
of the show. I remember one show when he was talking to his partner about the 
need to be celibate and how hard it was. He reminisced about this one Sister he 
was really tempted by. The description: "She was a backup singer with Gap Band, 
and man could she burn some pork chops in the kitchen!" 

I still roll with laughter thinking of that line. You really have to hear it to 
experience the full effect.

It had Richard Brooks of "Law & Order" and Clayton Rohner playing two formerly 
dead men who are resurrected by the forces of Good to return demons to Hell. 
They have no powers and only magical gizmos to do so, while the demons are 
fully powered. 

Oh -- and they can't have any contact with people in their past lives. 

And no sex. 8-O

Re: [scifinoir2] topic: the last man on earth

When I was younger or a kid I wanted to be bit by one. But since where I loved 
Santa did not have a chimney to come down so I know that vampires would not 
come over to see me. Now before I get the bad comments I am talking about the 
sexy cute ones. You know like someone like Mick on Moonlight.

They weren't even close to any kind of vampire. More like intelligent slow 
moving zombies. They couldn't break into his house because he put up some 
mirrors and a few 2x4s on the windows. 

There was a hybrid type that was a group of scientists and other folks that 
came up with a vaccine that cured them temporarily. They were killing off the 
other vampire folks.  I didn't understand why they wanted to kill Vincent Price 
though.

  I'm watching the original movie starring Vincent Price on my local PBS 
station. I think that if they had made the Will Smith movie with vampires 
instead of zombies it would have been more interesting. What do you think?   
  People may lie, but the evidence rarely does.

[scifinoir2] Steele: I'll Woo Blacks To GOP With "Fried Chicken And Potato Salad"

[Tracey de Morsella]

Sadly this is NOT satire
The Young Republicans convention was held in Indianapolis last weekend and
their election of a racist, middle-aged woman as President
  isn't the only controversial item to come out of the GOP gathering.
Local Republican blog Hoosier Access
  was able to get RNC Chairman Michael Steele to sit down with
a group of bloggers and they taped the conversation. The old gaffe-o-matic
(or as I like to call him, the Republican Joe Biden!) answers a question
from a gay person of color
  in this clip about the GOP's diversity outreach.

Yes, that's right. To lure African-Americans into the GOP, Steele is
offering "fried chicken and potato salad." Since he mentions Republicans
should also be reaching out to the LGBT community, I wonder what stereotype
he's going to offer us? Buttplugs and Birkenstocks?

Sigh. Oh, Michael, what can we even say about you?

But remember all, even though it may SEEM like he is a monumental moron, this 
is all a part of some strategy that we can't yet comprehend. It is all just a 
part of his plan.
