Can't have it both ways. It is very wrong to execute the truly criminal, as it applies to those who violate the law in criminal cases, and when civil cases come before the court to address and resolve matters of equity for the truly law abiding of Black America, the wheels of justice are blind, and blatantly violated.
Futhermore, the Black middleclass, the so called Black university educated, and/or Black people in positions of influence are co-conspirators in the oppression of truly law abiding Black people. I will continue to amend this post as necessary to condemn our disgraceful elected officials, and/or that worshipping misfits, treasonous Black middleclass! I'm willing to bet this reality of illegal immigrant serving foreign interests at the expense of the Black community no good Merv Dymally, and/or other misfits who are also Black like you and I, is very accurate...... ......valid information such as...... .....the perversion of the Black community!....and/or its treasonous inept elected representatives, and/or the Black middleclass who praise them.Sincerely, Michael Lofton

"Is Hatred a Mental Illness?" The hateful, treasonous, sleazy, greedy, and blatantly incompetent, in the many misfit Black elected representatives, and/or the Black middleclass who praise them, must have a serious mental illness, are truly treasonous, praise the unethical, and/or must have an affinity for very criminal and sleazy behavior!

Black people must continue to work to pull themselves up whether rich, middle class or underclass..and the progressives must ignore the house negro with his irrational thinking that does not serve the best-interest of black people....just like we work to offset the adverse actions taken by racists...like crooked cops and killer gang bangers...the house negro and his racist white colleague who he views as God......must not be allowed to stop forward thinking and progress...

I wonder how telling someone they beter not have their black azz in backwoods Alabama alone in the middle of the night placing a black face on racism? I did not make these realities true....and as a person who has had people attempt to run me off of the road in backwoods Florida and on the highways in the middle of the night before (obviously before I bought a cannon for them), how is that racist when it is acknowledging reality? It is easy for people to stay trapped in the little neighborhood on two blocks all of their lives, never go anywhere but want to offer a worldy view as if they have. It is just like the people who bemoan who awful black people are but work to politically damage black people...and have never offered a dime of their money or an hour of their time to black causes......
And once again......"social conservtism vs political conservatism......black people are socially conservative, we believe in morality, family, god and the like.....political conservatism is for racist white males to maintain their imbalance based on white privelege...which has been chipped away from over the last century .....everyone else who embraces the white male conservative philosophy is just a pawn trying to be on the inside....but will never get there....because they are resented and hated, yet can be used to put a black face on racism.........they should realize that from the fact that the only affiliation they get from whites are the racist ones that will gladly use them to promote racist ideas in blackface.....and a house nigga who is a marginal acheiver or lives in a poor neighborhood ought to see it is not working for him.....W has given you two terms....and you are worse off than you were beforehand......and i'm loving it.......

Man held in DUI had badge issued by Dymally, police say Pirikana Johnson, 27, of Compton is charged with impersonating a state official and driving under the influence. By Evelyn Larrubia and Dan Morain, Times Staff Writers December 5, 2006 A Compton man was arrested Monday for flashing an official-looking state badge issued by the office of Assemblyman Mervyn Dymally, Redondo Beach police said. Police said Pirikana Likivu Johnson, 27, became agitated on two occasions earlier this year when police confronted him about loud music or asked him to stay in his car while waiting for a friend in the Redondo Beach Pier parking garage after closing time at a nearby club, police said. Both times, Johnson took out a police-style wallet containing a metal badge that identified him as an Assembly commissioner. When officers told him he still had to comply with their orders during a confrontation March 18, he became belligerent, according to a police report. "You don't know who I am," he told an officer, according to the report. He was later found to have a blood-alcohol level of 0.10%. "This isn't a simple DUI," Redondo Beach City Atty. Mike Webb said Monday. "You have a situation where somebody is allegedly using a badge and falsely identifying themselves to get special favors and special treatment." Officers were unfamiliar with the title but arrested Johnson on suspicion of drunk driving and released him pending an investigation. State officials said there was no such title as Assembly commissioner. Johnson did not respond to telephone calls and visits to his Compton home seeking comment earlier this year. On Monday night, he was being held in the Redondo Beach City Jail in lieu of $60,000 bail on charges of impersonating a state official, driving under the influence of alcohol and driving without a license. Dymally's office issued more than a dozen of the metal badges "” which are emblazoned with a likeness of the state Assembly seal and the words "California State Assembly Commissioner" "” to donors and constituents. Some recipients said they received the badges after making donations. Dymally, 80, a Democrat from Compton, was in Sacramento on Monday to be sworn in for another term in the Assembly and declined through a spokeswoman to comment on the case. But in interviews earlier this year, he called the credential "a nothing badge" and said such honorary shields are commonplace. "The possession of these badges is not an illegal act," he said. "If it is, then arrest everybody. Arrest some white people too." Johnson's arrest marks the latest in a year of scandals involving honorary badges in the hands of civilians. The sheriffs of Riverside and Orange counties and the San Bernardino County district attorney all recalled badges they had issued to citizen groups consisting mainly of campaign contributors. After news reports of badge proliferation, some academics and officials became concerned that badges carried by law enforcement officials could start to carry less weight. "If you can't separate out who is a peace officer from who isn't but just happens to have a badge, that creates confusion," said Nathan Barankin, a spokesman for Atty. Gen. Bill Lockyer. "It doesn't take much imagination to conceive of a scenario where an investigation could be compromised." The attorney general's office is working on an opinion regarding whether law enforcement officials can legally confer honorary badges. Dymally's commissioner badges are similar to those carried by Assembly sergeants and lawmakers. In an interview, Dymally denied having personally given the badges. Four men speaking on condition of anonymity showed a Times reporter Assembly commissioner badges that they said they had received after paying several hundred dollars apiece in what they believed were campaign contributions intended for the assemblyman. But they said they did not make the payments directly to Dymally, nor do their names appear as contributors on his campaign finance reports. After Johnson was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving in March, Dymally and his daughter, Lynn, 48, went to the police station to try to get him released, saying that Johnson had to be in Sacramento for a meeting later that morning. Police asked Lynn Dymally for identification. According to a report, she responded by displaying one of the Dymally commissioner badges. An officer asked her why she and Johnson had the badges, records show, and she said it was because they worked for her father. Her attorney, Anthony Willoughby of Culver City, said Monday that she did not flash the badge, but rather inadvertently showed it as she opened her wallet to retrieve her driver's license. The assemblyman said he personally drove to the city jail to help free Johnson, whom he described as a long-time acquaintance, "Assembly candidate" and community college student leader. He said Johnson was only carrying the badge and never flashed it at police. Johnson was under federal indictment for identity theft when the Redondo Beach incidents occurred. He has since pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges and is on federal probation. It is a crime to use the state Assembly seal without authorization and to hand out or use a badge to impersonate a state official or police officer. The Los Angeles County district attorney's office investigated Dymally's badges after Johnson's initial arrest and sent the assemblyman a letter listing the state laws that prohibit the conferring of badges and use of the seal, according to David Demerjian, head of the district attorney's Public Integrity Unit. The statute barring the misuse of the Assembly seal dates back to 1968. But in letters sent to badge recipients, Dymally's office said they had to be returned because of a "new" law. "I'm not sure what he means by that. Maybe it was embarrassing to him to ask for these," Demerjian said. "He got the badges back and provided them to us, so we decided not to prosecute." Willoughby, who also represents the assemblyman, said the badges were handed out "at a time when it was legal." He pointed out that the Legislature passed a measure in 2003 further restricting the use of badges, which Dymally voted for. A review of that legislation shows it focused primarily on misuse of firefighters' badges. He said he helped Dymally collect the badges in July and delivered "in excess of a dozen" of them to the district attorney's office. Two of the recipients were donors, Willoughby said. The practice of issuing honorary credentials has come in and out of favor in the Legislature. Former Assembly Speaker Bob Hertzberg, a Democrat who represented the San Fernando Valley, said he gave badges to members of advisory commissions that he established when he took office in 1996. Predecessors had done the same, he said. "These were not fundraising devices. It would never cross my mind to use it that way," said Hertzberg, who left office in 2000. He discontinued the practice early in his tenure because "it started to give me pause." Former Assemblyman Brett Granlund, a Republican who represented the Yucaipa area from 1994 until 2000, gave badges to staff members, friends, family and supporters as "a token of friendship, as a memento." He said each one was accompanied by a letter warning that it was a "memento and you are never to carry it or use it to purport to be someone you are not." Assemblyman Rudy Bermudez (D-Norwalk) takes umbrage at the practice. A former state parole officer, Bermudez pushed legislation aimed at cracking down on unauthorized badges. He said the badge should be reserved for the officers who earn them. "It is not something you sell," he said, "or give away." evelyn.larrubia@latimes.com dan.morain@latimes.com Copyright 2006 Los Angeles Times ************** Merv Dymally should have been booted out of office years ago. .......Oh Well that is the nature of the Black community, in that misfits are financed, praised, promoted, honored, worshipped, etc......Mind you, Merv Dymally has yet to use his position of influence to serve the truly law abiding in the Black community, to which this article certainly speaks to....

Jeez, it's a freaking cycle. AA.org keeps getting flooded with all these right-wing White racist and Black self-hating types. First we get CON-Feed, then he goes AWOL. Then Lofton-Bot comes in and holds us over until CON-Feed gets back. When CON-Feed comes back, Lofton-Bot leaves and we get Shadow to replace him. CON-Feed leaves again to be replaced by that Zeus guy. Shadow leaves and we get that Naf guy in the "Religion and Spirituality" section and Lofton-Bot's other incarnation "Against All Odds" who leaves quickly after arriving. Suddenly Zeus leaves and CON-Feed comes back shortly before the election. He's soon followed by UTB who bumps his dumbass comments. UTB leaves and lo and behold Lofton-Bot resurfaces. Do Stormfront, FreeRepublic, ProtestWarrior and some forum called "BlackSelfHatred.org" have a link to AA.org?  MBM, do you see any reason why "ML" shouldn't be banned to the "? (Big House)" part of the forum?

He said he helped Dymally collect the badges in July and delivered "in excess of a dozen" of them to the district attorney's office. Two of the recipients were donors, Willoughby said. The practice of issuing honorary credentials has come in and out of favor in the Legislature. Former Assembly Speaker Bob Hertzberg, a Democrat who represented the San Fernando Valley, said he gave badges to members of advisory commissions that he established when he took office in 1996. Predecessors had done the same, he said. "These were not fundraising devices. It would never cross my mind to use it that way," said Hertzberg, who left office in 2000. He discontinued the practice early in his tenure because "it started to give me pause." Former Assemblyman Brett Granlund, a Republican who represented the Yucaipa area from 1994 until 2000, gave badges to staff members, friends, family and supporters as "a token of friendship, as a memento." He said each one was accompanied by a letter warning that it was a "memento and you are never to carry it or use it to purport to be someone you are not." Assemblyman Rudy Bermudez (D-Norwalk) takes umbrage at the practice. A former state parole officer, Bermudez pushed legislation aimed at cracking down on unauthorized badges. He said the badge should be reserved for the officers who earn them. "It is not something you sell," he said, "or give away." evelyn.larrubia@latimes.com, dan.morain@latimes.com Copyright 2006 Los Angeles Times **************** Now as for STFU, be it a Kweli4Real, an Empty Purnata, etc., etc.., .....your input is meaningless because you've already shown your true nature, the true nature of an individual who is much, much, much, less than truthful......

LOL, the KKK and the Aryan Nation say the same thing. About "even if we aren't listened to, our message is tru!!!11" Actually, did you know that America is the least powerful country in the world? The Soviet Union is a Capitalist country and has taken over Canada. The President of the United States of America is Ross Perot, and he's about an average president. The Black underclass is the majority in reality, even though you claim the no-good Black Middleclass are the tort reformists of the Supreme Court. Contrary to FASCIST Libertarian rhetoric, the Liberals are the true Populists in our society and support empowering individualism while the Marxists, and the rest of the right-wing Communists, support quasi-socialist bureaucracy. You will never acknowledge this, you'll just run away like the Battle of the Bulge in WWI, which was in 1962, and come at us again with some more Black Feminist rhetoric. You and Constructive Feedback are so predictable, you believe that Merv Dymally is the Vice President of America, while you continue to beat up on George Bush. Why do all Black Centrists such as yourself continue to support the sleaze, corruption, immorality, un-American-ness and hypocrisy of the Native American populus? You know that illegal Hispanic immigrants rule the Black underclass which rules over Communist China! You know that Whites are being oppressed by Australian Aboriginees! Why don't you go back to MoveOn.org with your Anarchist rhetoric? You godless Republicans can kiss my ass! You complain about the Moral Majority, while supporting liberal activism! Get out of here with your left-wing conservative BS! You anti-Martian racists!

Well Shango67, Kweli4Real, EmptyPurnata, etc., etc. I don't let this bother me, because just like other nonsense, that is promoted, implied, suggested, etc., etc., by several other members of this board, this material has no factual basis.
The picture as shown above, which erroneously compares ML and CF to that pervert set, or as being of Caucasian ethnicity, is slanderous material that begins and ends with this message board, material and gossip, that is truly worthless anywhere else......The material that a Shango67 has introduced is sneaky. Now if Shango67 were to publish his slanderous material, in a newspaper, supported with a signed affidavit from the actual individual(s) responsible for this slanderous material, then both CF and Michael Lofton would have something to work with to take legal action against the author(s) of the material. .....have some backbone, Shango67, place your real name behind the material, and a valid address where you can be reached, etc., etc.,...... .....Heck, I've placed my real name on the material as presented, as it relates to Brentwood Burke, Illegal Immigrant no good serving misfits at the expense of the law abiding no good Merv Dymally,, William Jefferson, Michael King, Ambulance Chasing Attorney Johnny Cochran, etc., etc., and it would not be difficult to reach me. ...... I challenge Merv Dymally, Brentwood Burke, Herb Wesson, Walter Tucker, Henry Lyons, Diane Watson, William Jefferson, Reverend Jesse Jackson, and/or all the naysayers in a Kweli4Real, Kevin41, Shango67, Nmaginate, ricardomath, etc., etc., to take legal action against me for the circulation, and promotion of material such as, you know, for condemning, slandering, belittling, making a mockery of that misfit elected Black leadership, and/or the typical Black middleclass who praise them. Just like anyone else who has assets, I can be sued for slandering the good name of another. This hasn't happened yet because the material is valid. ....have some backbone like the authors of this article, or thread, an article and/or thread that truly has factual basis, and the authors, in a Michael Lofton, an Ann M. Simmons, use their real names, or the Los Angeles Times, which is a legitimate newspaper, and make it possible for any reader to contact the true authors and/or Newspaper.....
....Mind you the Los Angeles Sentinel, the so-called largest Black owned newspaper on the West Coast should be the first to step up to the plate to condemn those individuals who have betrayed the Black community.
......This has yet to happen though, because typically our elected Black leadership, far too many of our own Black lawyers, journalists, the so-called Black middleclass choose not to hold themselves and/or each other accountable, especially as it relates to their own character, any personal friend, associate, etc., etc., which has seriously compromised the integrity of the Sentinel, our leadership, the so-called Black middleclass, contributes to the demise of the Black community, etc., etc. .....now as for the sleaze, greed, blatant incompetence, etc., on the part of our two bit no good Black elected representatives, "jackleg preachers", and/or those who praise them, this material can be proven, is believable, has been published by many very reputable sources, which transcend this message board, and/or truly has factual basis.************************* ......Seriously, Larry Wilmore is not too far off, when you consider the reality of what truly goes on in the Black community. There are far too many individuals from the Black community, who are in a position of influence, whose unethical, criminal, and/or treasonous actions trash the many sacrifices of the truly ethical and law abiding in the Black community.*************************** Indeed in many instances the actions of our own leadership in a position of influence trash, inflame, disrespect, and/or make trivial the many hard earned and deserved sacrifices of the truly law abiding, ethical, moral, christian, and/or competent segment of the Black community.
