Controversy over Diana Ross brillo pads misses mark

 

A new company is being accused of racism after releasing some afro style sponges that are getting the attention of the public.  The British company Paladone is under fire for the release of the products, featuring caricatures of Diana Ross, using her hair for a brillo pad.  

Critics have accused of the company of making products that are similar to those considered derogatory toward blacks during slavery and Jim Crow.

Now, sure many people may find this offensive, but my questions is, 'Why are we producing our own line of brillo pads." The disrespect we have for ourselves is far greater than the disrespect that comes from others.

We need more producers in our community. We cannot survive being consumers only and getting mad at what others produce.

Howard Morgan, a Black Former Police Officer Shot 28 Times by White Policemen Faces Sentencing

Yes, you read that headline right. Howard Morgan, a former Chicago Police Officer before spending 13 years as a Railroad Police Officer for the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad, pulled over on his way home the morning of February 21, 2005, because he saw a police car behind him and was letting it pass.  To Mr. Morgan's surprise, he discovered that the police had stopped him for an alleged traffic violation. 
Although he identified himself as a police officer, they threw him to the ground, removed his weapon and them shot him 28 times. 21 of those shots were administered to the back of Howard Morgan's body.  An independent eye witness testified that Mr. Morgan never fired a weapon.  A jury acquitted Mr. Morgan of the charge of aggravated discharge of a firearm.  How then, could Howard Morgan, by any stretch of the imagination, be guilty of four counts of attempted 1st degree murder of the police officers who shot him? 
April 5, 2012, Howard Morgan is next scheduled sentencing for crimes he did not commit.  Let's pack the courtroom that day and stand for justice.

In 2007, a jury acquitted Mr. Morgan of the two counts of aggravated battery as well as the count of aggravated discharge of a firearm. However, the jury was hung on the other five remaining counts; after which Judge Clayton Crane, the presiding judge, declared a mistrial. 
Listen to his wonderful, strong wife explain what happened.

Well? Is it? We know cell phones are lethal weapons that when in the hands of a Black male, can cause panic and attract the business end of a policeman's gun, but is technology racist?

Bean Soup Times received this graphic which ask that very question. What do you think?

Tech is Racist
