The March was very good. Alot of people showed. All of the speakers, were amazing and inspirational.  I only marched around the justice department 3 times. For one it was PACKED IN THERE!! 2 I didn’t have the most comfortable shoes, and it was cold.. The best thing I observed about the March was that there was all colors, shapes,size, smells, and styles of people that particpated.  It was beautiful .. I love my black people, and even more when I see how we can get together. I have to commend Al Sharpton, for great stride, in social justice, and public service to our country. He is an awesome mann. When I saw him, Tom Joyner, Steve Harvey, and freinds together, I couldn’t have been more inspired. We have already, recieved a response, from Mr Mukasaey, speaking out and saying justice for hate crimes is long over due.

Mukasey issued a statement saying his agency takes allegations of hate crimes seriously and is working with state and local police, as well as civil rights groups, to “investigate aggressively dozens of noose-hangings and other recent racially and religiously motivated” crimes nationwide. Such investigations, he said, do not occur in the public eye.

“We hope that all can agree that it is the criminals who commit violent acts of hate who deserve the loudest protest,” Mukasey said.

Let’s organize now! We don’t have much time, but we can do it! This time, let’s get a million people at the rally! Be there by any means necessary…cars, planes, buses….let’s get there!!!!!!! Nooses should be ilegal in America. And why in the hell in there not hate crime attached to these laws…… it just doesn’t make since to me AT ALL 

What is a hate Crime You ask?

Rev. Al Sharpton announced plans Tuesday for a march on the U.S. Justice Department in Washington on Nov. 16.
Sharpton, speaking at Atlanta’s Richard B. Russell federal building, is protesting what he believes is the Justice Department’s failure to prosecute a series of recent hate crimes across the country.

“We feel that the federal government has failed to intervene in the cases of hate crimes — swastikas and nooses,” Sharpton said. “Since the federal government won’t come to the people, we’re going to bring the people to the federal government.”

Sharpton was joined at Tuesday’s news conference by Martin Luther King III. Both noted what appeared to be a string of copycat crimes involving nooses following the well-publicized Jena 6 episode in Mississippi.

Warren Ballantine, a radio host appearing alongside Sharpton and King on Tuesday, also called for a “blackout” on Nov. 2, asking people to not spend money on that day in hopes of sending a message to the federal government.

Said Sharpton: “We’ll continue to mobilize until there’s justice, and that has to come from the federal government.”

I hope to see all you guys there..
