First Phase Of Jury Selection Completed In Zimmerman Trial…
Obama Gives Speech At Historic Landmark
From Clutch Magazine: NFL player Albert Haynesworth is under fire. Not only because he was arraigned this morning for allegedly groping a waitress at the W Hotel in Washington D.C. back in February, but because his apparent defense against the sex abuse charges is pretty pathetic-he can't possibly be guilty, Haynesworth asserts because he "doesn't even like Black girls."
According to The Root, Haynesworth refused to accept a plea deal for simple assault, which would have kept him out of jail. Instead, he was arraigned on sex abuse charges for allegedly "sliding his credit card into the bra of a waitress and touching her breast during a birthday party," and may face up to 180 days in jail if convicted.
Aside from Haynesworth's ridiculous, "I don't even like Black girls" defense, the troubled Washington Redskins player went on to claim the waitress was just mad because his girlfriend is white.
"I didn't touch her. I don't even like black girls. I know what this is about, she is just upset I have a white girlfriend. I couldn't tell you the last time I dated a black girl. She was trying to get with me, " Haynesworth said.
Perhaps sensing the stupidity of his client's defense, Haynesworth's business manager, told reporters that the "real" reason the waitress filed charges against his client was because she was upset over her tip.

How pathetic we have become as a race of black people just surviving in a white dominate American culture. After 400 years of enslavement and indoctrination created self hatred engineered through negative self images of blacks vs superior positive images of whites in media (Internet, movies, TV, newspapers etc.), we have become our own worst enemies. Unfortunately, our present generation have forgot or refuse to learn anything from past experiences of those that came before us, the denying of our great culture and achievements over incredible institutional and overt blatant racism that continues today. When we fight amongst ourselves, become jealous of other's achievements and fame, show our dislike of another brother just because of where he lives and disrespect our black mothers and sisters whose hard struggles helped a black nation to survive and flourish against all odds, aren't we committing to the white man's master plan to hold back and destroy a black race of people without ever lifting a finger? It is an indication that many of you have become blind, left your spiritual teachings, continue unresolved infighting amongst family members, let your black institutions crumble, don't believe in your own culture anymore, won't invest in or create your own black businesses, always consumers and in debt. The brother here is rich and famous, but some blacks here are envious because he has achieved the American dream, that is to be able to choose to marry and date whomsoever he so pleases. On the other hand, this brother dislikes dating black women because of the better treatment he gets from dating other females outside his race. It all boils down to learned engineered "self hatred", and a lack of love and respect for our fellow man. Change "Self" from within and you can change the universe. The privilege people, have always benefited from our black culture and hard work that built this great country, without ever giving compensation or recognition to anyone but themselves. How about we return to capitalizing on our own strengths and virtues and stop the self hatred and jealousies? Isn't that how Capitalism works (self preservation)? Let us throw off this yoke of the Devil's lies, that black people are no longer relevant, rich and beautiful, that this white paradigm (model)is the only image we blacks should follow.
