A. Bizzle Street Chatter October 2008

Whats Good....Yall? Well a lot has happened since I last wrote... as you already know. The stock market has been at an all time low, name brand banks are closing...people are at a PANIC!!!!! Well, not all people. Black folks are handling business as usual. We are no strangers to getting declined for home loans, auto loans and any other types of loans because of credit drama. Now that it is leaking into the mainstream folks want to start talking about it.....well I got news talk on .

In other news,OJ was found guilty.....R. Kelly won a lawsuit...and John McSame is out having rallys that incite violence and did I mention The Clintons. Yes, I said it....it seems as though the Clintons came out of the woodwork when they were sure Obama was going to pull this thing off. To me it was as though they waited it out to see how the polls were going to play out it reminds me of that song Johnny Gill had called Fairweather Friend.

I also would like to say what is up with America using white actors to play Black folk. First, Robert Downey Jr. in Tropic Thunder playing a brotha then I turn on Saturday Night Live and see Fred Armisen playing Barack Obama......give me a break! I think it is time for Saturday Night Live to DIVERSIFY. The SNL cast consist of one Latino and one Brotha now that don’t make no sense.

Big ups to the legislators that helped pass the Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crime Act. This will allow the Justice Department to investigate and prosecute Civil rights era crimes.

The bill is named after Emmett Till, a black teenager who was mutilated and murdered for allegedly whistling at a white woman in Mississippi in 1955. The case remains unsolved and his death helped propel the modern Civil Rights Movement.

The unprecedented bill authorizes the attorney general to spend $10 million annually over 10 years to investigate and prosecute cold cases from the Civil Rights-era. YAYEE YAY!
