1Val's Great Words

1Val • 20 days ago Truth is the original woman the black woman who is often emulated but never duplicated by other women is the first woman to walk this planet. Science has proven Lucy the oldest human fossil belongs to a black woman. Truth is black women have given all other women insecurities about their bodies. For example white men have been drawn to, fascinated, fiends for and lusts after black women every since they invaded and colonized Africa. It was white men who introduced concept of pornography using naked black women as their muse.

Sara Baartman who they dubbed Venus Hottennot exploited in "freak" show that white men sponsored for white men to leer at her divine form. Truth is black woman's body is archetype that all other women's aspire to. Who cares if a boyish figure woman has hair to her hips? Men prefer curves that black women are naturally blessed with not from a surgeon's knife or chemical additives in her body. Truth is black women are the most sexually harassed in workplace.

Why? Because if a blonde blue eyed white woman is a black man's fantasy Beyonce, Halle, Lupita and Serena are white men's wet dreams. But any black woman with an ounce of sense in her head knows that black women's body from slavery where we were raped, forced to breed white man's children to Jim Crow where gang rape was common tactic to control black women who rebel knows that our black bodies have always been desired whether we welcomed their attention or not. And guess what black women weren't wearing weaves to turn white and other men on.

 1Val • 20 days ago Black people remain the experts on our hair. lol. Ms. Kim and Ms. Lee sell Indian/Remi hair and black beauty products supplied by many black owned suppliers(Luster to black wig distributors Beverly Johnson, Naomi Sims, Sherri Shepard, etc..) in their mom and pop shops. But some of "us" are more concerned by what's on our heads instead of what is in our minds.

 _____________________

 1Val • 21 days ago Having hair does not define a woman's beauty. In fact, you must be STRIKING to be bald headed like Amber Rose, Lupita Nyongo. Grace Jones, Chrisette Michelle. etc... I'm hard pressed to think of any non black woman who is beautiful without hair on her head. I have worn my hair short for years and have no desire to return to long hair. Short hair accentuates your face where long hair disguises a woman's shortcomings. In other words, I lead with my face/beauty not hair to distract from my facial features. Confidence is the sexiest attribute any woman can possess. You should try it for yourself! ___________

 1Val • a month ago To answer your questions, yes I have been I have been in similar situations where men assumed they were being respectful commenting on my body parts. Like most grown women, I have heard more than my fair share of "compliments" regarding my physique. For instances, breasts comments range from "those can't be real" to you "carrying a fortune on your chest" to " how long have you been a dancer with legs like that" "your teeth are so straight you could be in a lumineers commercial" " your skin is black velvet" " I could get lost in your beautiful eyes" " you are dark and lovely" " if you were a road sign it would say curves ahead" "that's how a black woman should wear her hair like yours" "you've got too much booty for that skirt" and too many silly comments on my backside too mention. How I address men and women who make inappropriate comments about my body depends on my mood, setting and individual. This past Sunday an elderly church lady stopped me as I walked by to inform me that her hips used to bounce like mine when she was my age. All I could do was laugh. First, I was unaware that my booty was jiggling so much so that with her declining vision even she could see it. I made a mental note to self to walk softer throughout service. If she had been my age I would have attributed her remarks to cattiness and addressed her comment. I expect men to be men and objectify women. So possessing that mindset I'm not offended by most men's comments/compliments unless they are truly out of line. Besides, its not about who a man thinks I am when he approaches/compliments me it is who he thinks that he is and he acts accordingly. _____________

 1Val hollyw • a month ago You hit the nail on the head by stating they are mostly talk and will not put their money where their mouths are. They refuse to hold public education accountable and its FREE. So the likelihood of them being involved in something they must finance are slim and next to none. Perfectly explaining why this man is unable to raise a measly five million dollars to open his school.

 _______________

 hollyw 1Val • a month ago No truer words. The dedication he requires is missing from most of his "fans", in addition to the finances, and five mil isn't even a lot. I helped raised half that much in one night of fundraising last summer with my org. to fund college scholarships for NYC male youth. They will have forgotten totally about this man in three day's time.

 __________________

 1Val • 13 days ago But those white girls have what most black girls and black women Rihanna do not have from society which is RESPECT. Unfortunately, racist and sexist culture has ascribed black women as the face of promiscuity, lasciviousness and Jezebel stereotypes. Thanks to slavery's justification of owners lust and raping black women so we became their temptresses. Its why white culture is so comfortable with stereoypical images of black women being welfare queens and single mothers because they formed and media perpetuates this lie that black women are immoral h___ who love to indiscriminately screw men/women.


____________________

1Val • a month ago Unfortunately, many black males are great at symbolic gestures. I recall Million Man March because black males vowed to take back their lost communities, received awesome press, spark plentiful debates yet yield very little results. Black men who rear their sons step up every day. They don't need a cause, a school or a movement for them to be who and what they are black men. What I find particularly disgusting about black males advocating for implementation of Dr. Umar's school is their hypocrisy. Many of those black males advocating for Dr. Umar have their mothers abandoned to rear their sons, grandsons, uncles, nephews and male cousin that they do absolutely nothing for or with. For you see it is not the public school system's systemic racism that is the only problem for black boys. It is black males refusal to be men in black families advocating, protecting and providing for those black boys in that school system. But we can not be honest by addressing that elephant in the room by blaming white people and feminist black women for black males failures to be men in their familis. Yet have audacity to proclaim themselves leaders of the black community.

________________

1Val • 2 months ago He's clearly has given advice but that doesn't make him worthy of dispensing advice. Again, his credibility has everything to do with words coming out of his mouth. For any adult male to engage in a sexually inappropriate relationship with a 17 years old child, commit adultery being a pastor then have audacity to berate women by resorting to gutter language of misnomers for women being side chicks and hoes as if he is ordained by God is utterly ridiculous. As for your claim on mudslinging it is the Word not I states," For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?" Timothy 3:5

Onyx is a chain strip club owned by a white capitalist targets urban markets. What I find distasteful about strip clubs are exploitation of dancers. How many women actually own strip clubs in USA? And those men many of whom are NOT paying child support or have college funds for their children, retirement accounts or titles to homes and vehicles but wasting money on foolishness in the streets. Apollo is a criminal so he has always practiced poor judgment and suffers from faulty logic.

 1Val • 2 months ago 50 Cent is textbook misogynist who hates women because of his abandonment issues with his mother. He is not marrying a woman because he hates women because he is mad at his mother.50 Cent being rich doesn't have anything to do with is contempt for women.lol

 _______________________

 1Val • 5 months ago My husband and I reared our son to love himself. For us loving himself means that he loves black women who look like him. We have stressed to our son that we do not nor have we ever wanted a non-black daughter in law. We did not invest our energy, emotion and resources into rearing a black boy into a black man to benefit non-black women. To be frank only black women are good enough to marry our black son and birth our black grandchildren.

 1Val • 5 months ago Something is amiss with younger generations obesity rates. Perhaps its lack of access to parks and open space limiting children's ability to play and exercise. New subdivisions with houses built on top of each other, apartment living and chemicals in foods are producing fat kids. Its a damn shame when most older women's shapes put younger women's bodies to shame.

 100% Tired KIR12 • 11 hours ago Black poverty has dropped by half since 1960. The birth rate among unmarried Black women has been dropping since 1992,women are acting more responsibly, not less. Black men are 100% in control in preventing their "unwanted" kids. The law states that you have 50% of the responsibility in caring for your the offspring that you create. Black Feminism is nothing more than a term for the weak and controlling black male to blame yet something else for his failures. What happened to the Black males core values that are based on the Bible and Christianity? Condoms are at least 98% effective when used correctly. One minute you claim that there are relationships built on trust and emotions which is why people don't use condoms, but the moment the woman becomes pregnant, you change the story to "she didn't take responsibility for her body"???????????????? Just STFU dude. Black men are the last ones who should be preaching anything to black women.

 100% Tired KIR12 • 11 hours ago I don't live in any fantasy..I responded to your statement about poverty because you seem to be implying that illegitimacy is the sole driver when in fact poverty has been on the decline throughout the years, even with illegitimacy on the rise.

Savant's Words in July of 2014

Some Africans are well informed, though I'm not so sure about most of the Africans posting in this thread. I doubt that most Africans in this country are refugees. Some are businessmen. Many are students. I have a lot of African students: Nigerians, Ghanaians, Senegalese, South Africans, Ethiopians, Eritreans, Kenyans, Tanzanians and others. In fact, I've even had the pleasure of teaching the grandson of JULIUS NYERERE. As for their knowledgeability regarding African American history and culture, it varied. Collectively, it seemed to me that South African Blacks knew more about us than did other groups of Africans. They were likely to have read about our Movements, to have read the works of Dr. King and Malcolm X especially. This was probably due to the fact that the apartheid regime was strikingly similar to the Jim Crow system of this country. And now that their movement has succeeded (as ours did in the 1960s--70s) in destroying the LEGAL (not De Facto) framework of the system of racial caste, they are beginning to face problems similar to what we've seen develop since the 1960s. But I also have found a good number of Africans from other countries who are reasonably informed. And then there are those who are quite ignorant, some perhaps even ignorant of their own history...Many of them are into the social media culture and other diversions. In that respect they are very much like many of our own African American brothers and sisters who not only know little about Africa, but who couldn't tell you who W.E.B. Du Bois was, and would not know about King if it wasn't for all the excessive media attention to his "I have a Dream" speech in January of each year. 

-Savant

 ____________________


Believe it or not, I've noticed that also. All Africans do not have a sense of Pan African solidarity. At social gatherings, I've noticed certain tensions, maybe misunderstandings between Africans of different countries. And we know there are sometimes tensions and conflicts between different groups within a given African country, the situation between Hutu in Tutsi in Rwanda being probably the most extreme case in the 1990s. Yet, there is also a sense of Pan-African solidarity among some Africans from different parts of the Continent; and in some cases it even reaches out to peoples of African descent in the Western Hemisphere. I've not seen much evidence of this in Topix, and certainly not this thread. But I have seen it at times in the real world.

-Savant

 _________________


Is the left useful in helping African people solve their problems? We can debate that. But I suspect that a good number of African leftists think (or thought) so. Men like Nkrumah, Nyerere, Fanon, Cabral and others. And AA leftists like Dr. King, post-Mecca Malcolm X, Paul Robeson, Kwame Ture thought so. And most of what Africans and African-Americans have achieved has been done under the leadership and in movements tat were at least moderately left-of-center.

 -Savant

 ____________________________

 IN the final analysis King, the revolutionary Christian and socialist, affirmed his solidarity with the disinherited and the dispossessed, with the exploited and oppressed. In that respect he was like the Hebrew prophets Isaiah and Amos.

 -Savant

 ____________________


 Despite some of my friendly criticisms of friend and brother philosopher Cornel West, I basically agree with his argument in DEMOCRACY MATTERS: WINNING THE FIGHT AGAINST IMPERIALISM, that the prophetic tradition is the primary source of what is still progressive, revolutionary and liberating in the three Abrahamic religions. This is the part of the tradition that inspired King, that inspired the Abolitionist movement, that inspired El Salvador's Bishop Oscar Romero. And notwithstanding my own markedly secular perspective, it was the prophetic tradition in the form of what Rufus Burrows call "homespun African American Social Gospelism", learned from my mother, that first awakened my social conscience as a child--a conscience that remains awakened even if in a more secular form. So, despite my skepticism, I do not simply dismiss any and everything a religion holds. While even the prophetic tradition--as I fold West in person and in an essay on his book--has its own flaws, it may be an important part of the democratic tradition, the whole quest for social justice, and a force that may help hurl back barbarous assault of religious fundamentalism. And as I said on the Marc Steiner show here in Bmore, I'm willing to work with Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus and whoever else is willing to join--not in fratricidal religious wars--but in righteous struggles for social justice.

Some us know a half truth is a whole lie. Voter suppression isn't just about having a picture ID...it's about fewer precincts in minority areas, cutting hours-days for early voting etc. What's ironic about your post is that you fail to mention high level GOP members were caught on tape admitting the laws are created to suppress the votes of minorities to win elections. Then you fail to mention that the courts already struck down these voter suppression laws. For example, it was found the South Carolina’s proposed voter-identification law would hit black precincts the hardest, keeping thousands from casting ballots. Likewise, Alabama’s voter-ID law found that it would place its largest burden on black voters who lack acceptable forms of identification and don’t have immediate access to alternatives. And while most of these laws—which, it’s worth noting, were adopted in most of the states of the former Co nfe deracy—provide for free identification, it’s not an easy reach. To get one in Mississippi, for instance, residents need a birth certificate, which costs $15 and requires the photo identification they don’t have. They’ll also need time to travel to the state office to pay or a computer to do the transaction online. These are conservatives judges who ruled to strike down these laws...how do you explain that if what you say is true. Then you show support for the Koch Brothers, the same family that funds the radically, racist conservative Te e Part y that works night and day to destroy black people/..your name explains everything about you.

 -David Jones


______________

The Truth 76:

The Koch Brothers money helped Republicans win majorities in state legislatures. Those Republicans dominated legislatures redrew the lines of voting districts diminishing the power of black voters and giving themselves a clear advantage for years to come. The Koch Brothers financed the campaigns of the current crop of Congressional Tea Party obstructionist, who prevent congress from passing any legislation that would benefit Americans Wages have been flat at least decade now and the Koch Brothers want to insure that they stay that way. Corporate profits have reached a historical high. Corporations and billionaires like the Kochs are holding on to those profits. The Koch Brothers and republicans are working to prevent workers from having bargaining rights, wage increases (Not even an increase in the minimum), access to healthcare or retirement plans. 25 Million will cover a 4 year degree for something like 2000 students. Possibly educating 2000 students does not begin to make up for what millions of Americans are losing because of the Koch's political agenda. When those 2000 students graduate; many will not be able to get jobs because the Tea Party candidates that the Koch's paid for have repeatedly obstructed the presidents jobs legislation. Those who do get jobs will work longer hours for less pay as they battle the stagnate wages. They will also struggle with shrinking benefits packages and no bargaining rights. They will receive a free education that will serve no purpose after the Kochs finish stealing the hope of any prosperity in the future. Perhaps the Kochs will let some of them come and clean some of their homes. Obviously some of you would like that.

Regina Taylor's Excellent words on the Zimmerman Trial

Just because O'Mara pulled that stunt in court, proved nothing. He was not there that either. The timeline proves nothing. And, yes, I do believe that because he still had the items from the store proves that he in fact, never made it home, because the killer cut off his path and chased him back towards the T. What about the 2 minutes that are not accounted for, when the killer claimed he was going back to his car, after telling the dispatch to have the police call him, and he would tell them where he was? This is totally overlooked by you, and the prosecution overlooked it also.

 ______________________

It is clear you did the same. The killer never said he was punched in the back of his fat head. He said he was punched once in the nose, which supposedly broke it, and he fell, and then the head slamming happened, which was his self serving lie, which was witnessed by no one.

 _______________

Once again, there was NO DNA on either of Trayvon's hands. No blood, no skin, no saliva, from the so called smothering, and no sweat anywhere on his hands or body, or on the sidewalk. Nothing. What don't you get about that? Are you so blind to see that it is totally possible that gz could have fallen and caused his own injuries to his head? Are you so blind to see that it is possible that the nose injury could have been caused by recoil from the gunshot? The fact remains that the forensic lack of DNA proves that there was no head slamming, and the fact remains that at the time of the shooting Trayvon was in the grass, not at the T or sidewalk, which makes the story of Trayvon being on top of his killer slamming his head on the sidewalk, a bold faced lie.

 _____________


Z walked because the prosecution threw the case, and the jurors, at least 3 of them had decided he was not guilty before the first witness ever testified. Trayvon Martin did nothing to his killer, but run from him, and tried to keep him from trying to detain him, and as he begged for his life, he killed him to silence the only other witness to his misdeeds. If you listen to the 911 call, you can clearly hear Trayvon saying, "I'm begging you".

 ____________________

Your whole argument is assumption, which was caused by O'Mara sitting at his desk for 4 minuttes during the trial. That was not evidence, but just a show, as was the piece of concrete that was carried into the courtroom. The right turn you are talking about is making no sense. Even the killer did not claim that Trayvon made it home and doubled back.

 ______________________

 My ancestors were from Africa, and forced to be here. Whether I call myself AA is of no concern to you. Get over yourself. Also if you fill out any application where what race you are is asked, there you find a space, with AA next to it. President Obama had nothing to do with it. He was asked his thoughts on this travesty of justice, and he answered the way he chose to. Get over that too.

 _________________

Z was not even close to being a cop. Nor did he claim that the teen was doing anything but walking in the rain, not walking across anyone's property in the middle of the night, it was a little after 7 pm, and the most recent robbery was 6 months prior. The teen was unarmed, and was coming home from the 711, not planning some crime on a Sunday evening when most people are at home. Z and common sense, no way. Since when is walking suspicious? Z never said that the teen was doing anything else until the call continued. If the teen circled the car and reached in his waistband would a person with common sense have exited their vehicle for an address, after claiming suspicion? Z lied mutiple times, to justify his own aggression. Again, there was no DNA on the teens hands to prove a head bashing. Again, no proof of a broken nose from any Dr. or medical records, since the killer never was seen by a Dr at any ER or hospital. The killer had called the non- emergency number, and that should have been his part in this, as it was ever other time he called about some supposed crime. Out of his own mouth was his motive for getting out of his vehicle. "These a- holes, they always get away".

 _____________________

 When did the judge say that she agreed with the verdict? All the "evidence" was the killer's stories, which were not given by him. The only real witness is dead. The facts were not facts, but the killer's self serving reenactment, a photoshopped picture, an expert that did no testing on an actual hoodie, but killed a living animal, and a cartoon. The other evidence was vantage point testimony, after the shooting, a witness that saw 10 seconds of a tussle, and turned it into mma style punches, than recanted, family and friends of the killer, that lied and claimed that the one with the gun was screaming and a person that had a home invasion style crime by 2 black males 6 months prior to the shooting. The real evidence was no proof of any broken nose, no cement head bashing at the time of the gunshot, as the teen's dead body was some 40 feet from the T in the grass, and last but not least, there was NO DNA from the killer on either of the victim's hands. The jury completely ignored this. Also had the Dr. that did the victim's autopsy been able to actually testify, he would have said that the lungs of Trayvon collasped and filled with blood, preventing him from speaking at all. The prosecution threw this case, because they were forced by their governor to try it, instead of their standard of choosing their own cases to plea out, or take to trial. Two of the jurors should not have been seated. One's husband was a lawyer, and friend of O'Mara, the other had a son that was a lawyer also. They thought they were the smartest and forced their opinions that were biased from the moment they were chosen. They had the not guilty verdict before the first witness ever testified.


_________________

You have no idea what you are talking about. This young woman had a deformity called an underbite. She also speaks 3 languages, creole, jamacian, and english. She also had no idea what to expect in a courtroom testifying about a horrible incident in her life. This was totally the fault of the prosecution by not preparing their most important witness. They left her in a room by herself the first two days of the trial, with only the video of her depositon with Atty. West to watch. They also did the same with Dr. Bao, not preparing him, and not giving him his deposition from a year prior, or meeting with him until the 4th of July for an hour or so. Like I said, you have no right to comment about things you have no knowledge of. Ugh. She does deserve a chance to further her education, whether you think so or not.

 ________________

 That is not true. He profiled Trayvon based solely on his race and gender. The very first thing out of his mouth to dispatch was "We've had some break ins in my neighborhood", which during the trial was the focus. The home invasion 6 months prior by two black males, that got away. The last witness the defense put on the stand, was the victim of that crime. The prosecution should have asked if Trayvon was a part of that break in. The only thing the two black males had in common with Trayvon was the color of their skin. The killer absolutely racially and criminally profiled Trayvon. Period. You cannot have it both ways.

 _________________

 It absolutely mattered to him. You have no idea whether his killer grabbed him or tried to detain him or not. And you are right, the teen had absolutely none of his killer's DNA on his hands, the supposed weapons, that caused the life or death boo boo's to his killer. As far as bruised knuckles, you are flat out lying. Trayvon had a small scratch on his left hand ring finger that measured 1/8th by 1/4th an inch. And still no DNA from his killer.

 ________________

 There is no way that you followed this trial. Trayvon was on the phone with his friend all the way to the 711, and all the way back from this store, up until, he asked his killer "Why are you following me"?, and his killer's response, "What are you doing around here." Came back from where, his home? If he made it there, why would he still have his items from the store still with him? If he attacked a total stranger, and caused the life or death injuries with his hands, why NO DNA?

 _________________

 Try this one. Your 17 yr old teen is walking home from the 711, early evening, and is all of a sudden followed first by car, and then on foot by a total"stranger". Your teen is unsettled and describing this to a friend on his phone, calling the person following " creepy". The friend advises your teen to run, which he does, and feels he has lost the creepy stranger, and then realizes that the stranger is again behind him. How is asking, " Why are you following me"?, escalating the situation, that the creepy stranger started? You act as though Trayvon was supposed to know who this stranger was. At least I don't out and out lie. Rachel never, not once said that Trayvon made it home. Your links are useless because I don't need them. I watched the entirety of the trial, and my link was the 18 circuit court discovery evidence, including witness statements, written and verbal, depositions, the reenfakement video, autopsy, ballistics, and DNA evidence. There was no proof that the expert did any real testing on a hoodie, versus a live animal that he killed. Had the medical examiner been allowed to testify, he would have clarified the fact, that number one, Trayvon's lungs collasped and filled with blood, and that he would not have been able to speak, and number two, he was not on top of his killer when shot and killed. The prosecution threw this case, because they did not want it. It was forced on them by the governor of Florida. If anyone is brainless, it is you and your useless azz links. Also mr. Pudgy had been working out for a year at an mma style gym, and no matter, he was not running when he found his " suspect". Trayvon told Rachel that he had lost the creepy azz following him,,and he was by his father's place and was just going to walk fast, not run, as he had to lose the creep. Then as they were talking, he realized tbat the creepy stranger was behind him again. There was absolutely no testimony from anyone, including the killer that Trayvon backtracked to confront. The killer claimed that Trayvon came from behind him, but the exact opposite is what really happened.In the reenfakement the killer claimed to still be on the phone with dispatch as he walked back to his car, and when he got to the T, he was still on the phone with dispatch, when he claimed the teen came up behind him. Why was none of this heard on the call??? He never mentioned hanging up with dispatch before he reached the T. Stupid,not caring about justice, prosecution.

 __________________________

 Dismissed, as it should be. You can't profile, because of a break n 6 months earlier, by 2 other AA males, then profile Trayvon, and claim no racial bias. You cannot have it both ways. Race was always the elephant in the room. Period. You dodged a bullet, killer. Now.....Go Away!

 _________

 There was absolutely no sworn deposition by the killer. A walk through reenfakement does not qualify as that. A wrritten statement or interviews by SPD does not qualify either. The prosecution would do this, and they did not. They would have preferred to cross him on the stand, and of course he avoided this, although they would have not done a great job at that either. The forensic evidence was not even challenged, because the prosecution did not bother to hire an expert for the state to disprove or challenge the defense expert. Your assumptions about what I think as far people out to get people makes you wrong. The rest of your rant, is just that, a rant. I am not impressed. Save it, for someone, other than me.

 ______________


 The only reason that gz made the call was because he Racially and Criminally profiled the teen. In my mind that is racism and a civil rights violation. Walking while black is not a crime, yet. Also you along with the jury paid no attention to the forensic evidence, that was clear. There was None, I repeat None of the killer's DNA ANYWHERE on the teen's hands, which there should have been, after the so-called life or death beating he claimed to have received by the teen. He was able to hop out of the police car, (handcuffed no less), and walk unassisted into the station. He never once asked to go to a hospital to be evaulated, for at the least a concussion, or to verify the so-called "broken nose". SMH. One other thing, there was never any witness to the provacation, except the killer and his many "ever changing stories", and a cartoon, that should have been strenuously objected to, and not been allowed as "evidence", by the prosecution to the judge. That alone, proved that the state threw this case. Justice my eye.

 ____________


 The evidence was not challenged by the prosecution. Read the book, " Suspicion Nation", by lawyer, Lisa Bloom, who was in court everyday of the sham of a trial. How would Trayvon have known that the killer called the Non emergency line on him? Who told him this, his killer? The killer received an A grade in his self defense course, he knew just what to say. He is a liar, and the only other person to challenge his lies is dead. There was No DNA evidence on the victim's hands or any DNA, blood, brains on the sidewalk to prove some head bashing. Nothing at all. Yet he claimed a life or death beating. Such a liar he is. The prosecution was pathetic, and left it up to the jury to figure out the other side of the story. They never spoke for the victim. The only victim. Trayvon Martin. They did not prepare their two most important witnesses, nor got an expert of their own to refute the defense expert. Who, by the way testified in other murder trials for the defense, at 400$ per hr. Those cases were lost. A cop and a music mogul, were found guilty of murder. The only calls admitted into evidence were the last 6 that were made. All those calls showed a paranoid man with mental issues, no wonder he was on psychcotopic drugs. There was nothing reasonable about anything gz did after he made that call. Nothing.
