Dick Gregory Gone Wild I Mean Viral…

'Nigger' Happened!!!~Bro. Dick Gregory

In January 2013, an interview W.E. A.L.L. B.E. did with venerable comic legend, author, nutritional guru and civil rights activist Bro. Dick Gregory went viral…The interview, which was uploaded on the W.E. A.L.L. B.E. TV YouTube Channel deals with his endorsement of the controversial award winning film “Django Unchained” and his criticisms of Spike Lee as ‘a punk’ and ‘a thug’ for offering a negative review of the film without even seeing it…The video has caused a firestorm of controversy, debate and was even picked up by respected and popular national media outlets such as The Huffington Post, Bossip, NewsOne, The Root, and Black Enterprise magazine just to name a few…The comments made on the YouTube video range from the profane to the profound…I also enjoy reading the insightful comments and blog posts it has generated on social media forums and other internet outlets…I have also received phone calls from folks all over the USA thanking me for the video and sharing their own insights on why hearing the interview was such an affirming learning experience for them…The literally tens of thousands of responses it generated could actually probably make for a great foundation for a decent dissertation on the topic…I was glad that the moment W.E. A.L.L. B.E. captured and shared for posterity also became a true teaching moment for the rest of the world too…

About The George Stinney, Jr. Case
(One Of Many Versions)
by
Bro. Ron aka r2c2h2 tha artivist aka Tha Artstorian

On June 16, 1944, 14 year old George Stinney Jr. became the youngest person put to death in the history of 20th Century Amerikkka:

14 year old Stinney, who was black, was arrested for murdering two white girls, Betty June Binnicker, age 11, and Mary Emma Thames, age 8, in Alcolu, located in Clarendon County, South Carolina, on March 23, 1944...The girls had disappeared while out riding their bicycle looking for flowers...As they passed the Stinney property, they asked young George Stinney and his sister, Katherine (some sources say that it was his other younger sister, Amie Ruffin, known as his 'shadow' who was asked by the girls), if they knew where to find "maypops", a type of flower...When the girls did not return, search parties were organized, with hundreds of volunteers...The bodies of the girls were found the next morning in a ditch filled with muddy water...Both had suffered severe head wounds...

Stinney was arrested a few hours later and was interrogated by several white officers in a locked room with no witnesses aside from the officers; within an hour, a deputy announced that Stinney had confessed to the crime...Stinney was allegedly given ice cream or a candy bar for his confession...According to the confession, the 14 year old Stinney (90 lbs, 5'1") wanted to "have sex with" 11 year old Betty June Binnicker and could not do so until her companion, Mary Emma Thames, age 8, was removed from the scene; thus he decided to kill Mary Emma...When he went to kill Mary Emma, both girls "fought back" and he thus decided to kill Betty June, as well, with a 15 inch railroad spike that was found in the same ditch a distance from the bodies...

Townsmen threatened to storm the local jail to lynch Stinney, but prior to this, he had been removed to Charleston by law enforcement...Stinney's father was fired from his job at the local lumber mill and the Stinney family left town during the night in fear for their lives...

A few years ago it was hard to find any info about the Stinney case...A lot of the info presented at that time was biased and very against any argument that George Stinney, Jr., may have been innocent because he was railroaded by the Jim Crow practices of the Amerikkkan South...However, those sentiments have begun to change...Now there is a grassroots efforts led by a group of lawyers, Stinney's family and other supporters to get his name pardoned and eventually exonerated by the state of South Carolina, the ma estate that sentenced to death under questionable circumstances at the first place...A several day hearing was held in January this year in South Carolina to determine if the original verdict should be overturned and a new trail started to determine Stinney's guilt or innocence for all time...At the time of this writing the judge has yet to rule either way...

The original court case raises more questions than it answers...For example, his white court appointed lawyer, Charles Plowden, 'failed' to tell Stinney and his family that he could have filed for an appeal to delay the execution for at least one year to gather support, evidence and monies in order to defend his life in a proper way…By his lawyer failing and/or refusing to tell him of his rights, his human and civil rights were violated…The only advice the family did receive was to leave town before their relative was put to death in order to avoid any mob revenge...His trial lasted a total of 3 hours from opening statement to jury verdict and he was dead less than two months later...This trial basically went undetected by both national and world news because the world was at war and the Allied Forces just invaded Normandy on June 6, 1944 (D-Day)...The fact or assumption that this was just another Bad Black Nigger accused of killing two defenseless beautiful and innocent White daughters of the Amerikkkan South didn't help matters either...In addition George Stinney, Jr.'s  alleged original confession and the transcript for the the 1944 trial have also been 'lost'...

The execution of 14 year old George Stinney was carried out at the South Carolina State Penitentiary in Columbia, South Carolina, on June 16, 1944 at 7:30 p.m...Stinney walked to the execution chamber with a Bible under his arm...Standing 5'1" and weighing just over 90 pounds, he was small for his age, which presented difficulties in securing him to the frame holding the electrodes...Neither did the state's adult-sized face-mask fit Stinney; his convulsing exposed his face to witnesses as the mask slipped free...Stinney was declared dead within four minutes of the initial electrocution...From the time of the murders until Stinney's execution, eighty three days had passed...

The legacy of George Stinney Jr. is that the systemic and physical lynching of Black males is still alive and thriving in the neo-slavery system known as the U.S. private prison industry complex…Anytime you privatize something your goal is to maximize profit, in some cases by any means necessary, ethics and morality, guilt and innocence be damned…One man’s salvation is another man’s damnation, A White Man’s Heaven Is A Black Man’s Hell…The U.S. has 25% of the world’s prison population, more than anywhere else on the planet…2 million people are currently warehoused and rotting away in our U.S. Gulags & dungeons with close to a million of these prisoners being African American…As a matter of fact there are more Black males in prison than were slaves in Pre-Civil War Amerikkka…Black women are now being incarcerated at a highly alarming rate along with Black juveniles, collateral damage of course from ‘the war on drugs’ (read war on poor people and people of color)…The Black family unit is being destroyed, exploited and institutionalized in the private prison industry complex aka the 21st Century Plantation…Our People Are In Peril...Many Of Them Are Not Aware They Live In A Police State & Are Under House Arrest...Wake Up Out Of Your Slumber & Fight The Powers That Be !!!

More Information On George Stinney, Jr.
Instead of me posting more links to where you can find more information related to George Stinney, Jr., I would suggest that people conduct their own research in this matter...There are so many stories and perspectives as it relates to this story...Also a lot of information is changed based on the source's perspective and agenda...I always believe that there is truth to be found even in a lie and so I encourage folks to learn how to formulate their own point of view based on what they are able to access...

Happy BElated 85th Life Affirmation Day Johnny Ace!!! The First Rock-N-Roll Star & Casualty & Booker T. Washington High School's (Memphis,TN) Most Famous Dropout...

by Bro. Ron Herd II aka r2c2h2 Tha Artivist aka Tha Artsotrian
W.E. A.L.L. B.E. News Special Report 

John Marshall Alexander Aka The Late Great Johnny Ace (Sunrise 6/9/1929-Sunset 12/25/1954)

Picture: Dick Clark & Johnny Ace in the early 1950s

He Was Arguably Rock & Roll 's First Star & Its First Tragic Hero In History…He Was Born John Marshall Alexander,Jr., One Of 11 Children, Son Of A Preacher Man & A Devout Christian Mother Raised In The Black Church…Although He Was Brought Up In A Strict & Religious Household He Nevertheless Dropped Out Of Booker T. Washington High School & Joined The Navy Eventually Getting Dishonorably Discharged (Johnny Was More Of A Lover Than A Soldier)…However, Johnny Ace Was Baptized & Made On World Famous Beale Street… 

B.B. King & The Godfather of Beale St. aka Andrew 'Sunbeam' Mitchell

The Legendary & Unsung Andrew 'Sunbeam' Mitchell, Music Promoter, Bootlegger, Gangster, Hotel Proprietor & Pimp, Was The True Patron Saint Of The Beale St. Musician...What 'Sunbeam' Mitchell Did For American Music Is Equivalent To What The Medicis Did For The Italian Renaissance & What The Negro Leagues Baseball Did For Major League Baseball...His Mitchell Hotel Provided Shelter, Food & Inspiration For The Black Musician...Sunbeam Gave The Black Musician Not Only Space To 'Woodshed' (An Intense Period Where A Musician Practices & Hones His Craft) But Also A Chance To Reinvent Themselves Aesthetically Speaking, From Men To Supermen...The Mitchell Hotel Was The First Stop On The Road To Glory For Many Future Music Superstars, Luminaries & Icons Such As Ike Turner, B.B. King, Little Richard & Yes Johnny Ace!!! So In Essence The Mitchell Hotel Was A Major Network Hub For The Black Musician, A True Clearinghouse For Legendary Musical Talent...Johnny Ace Sang & Played Piano For The Blues Supergroup 'The Beale Streeters' Which At One Point Included Such Luminaries & Future Icons Such As B.B. King, Bobby ‘Blue’ Band, Earl Forest  & Rosco Gordon…The Beale Streeters Were The Blues Version Of The Hip Hop Group Wu Tang Clan, Or The NBA’s Big 3 In Miami  AKA LeBron James, Chris Bosh, & Dwyane Wade…However, When I Finally Met The Great Bobby 'Blue' Bland In March 2012 He Kindly Corrected Me And Said In So Many Words That It Was The Other Way Around...Johnny Ace Also Hosted A Radio Show At The Innovative & Legendary WDIA Radio Station, The First Station In The U.S. To Feature An All Black-Based & Focused Radio Program Format.

r2c2h2 tha artivist & Bobby Blue Bland (March 2012)...Mr. Bland Told Me That He Thought Johnny Ace Was A Great Singer...

Music Mogul & Visionary Don Robey

Johnny Ace's Big Break Came When He Was Picked By WDIA Program Director & Duke Records Founder David James Mattis To Record 'My Song' (Ace's Friend Bobby 'Blue' Bland Was First Picked To Record Ace's Eventual First Big Hit But Was Not Able To Because He Could Not Read, He Was Illiterate At The Time According To Several Sources)...Legendary & Infamous Houston Nightclub Owner, Chitlin Circuit/Music Promoter, Entrepreneur & Gangster Don Robey Heard Ace & Soon Became Interested In Not Only Hearing Him Sing But Also Shepherding His Career...Don Robey Was A True Music Business Visionary, He Was A Mixture Of Berry Gordy, Russell Simmons, & Suge Knight All In One...The Colorful & Notorious Don Robey Eventually Made Mattis An Offer He Couldn't Refuse & Eventually Became Duke Records' Principal Owner & CEO, Forcing Mattis Out All Together...

Johnny Ace Was The Major Headline Act & Biggest Seller For Duke Records…He Was Rock’s First Superstar & The Top R & B Act In the Country…With His Silky Smooth Voice & Matinee Idol Looks, Johnny Ace Was The Heartthrob Of Young Black Females Everywhere… He Became So Famous And In Demand That Clubs & Other Venues Had To Either Book B.B. King, Little Richard & Bobby ‘Blue’ Bland As His Opening Acts In Order To Get Johnny Ace As The Main Event!!!

Unfortunately, Johnny Ace Took His Life By Accident While Playing With His Gun Backstage During A 5 Minute Break Between Performances At City Auditorium In Houston,TX, On Christmas Night 1954…Johnny Ace Was Known For Playfully Pointing His .22 Caliber Pistol At Folks As Well As Shooting Roadside Signs With It While On Tour...He Would Always Assure Folks That He Knew Where The Bullet Was In The Chamber When He Would Frighten People By Pointing The Gun At Them As Well As At Himself...Allegedly He Pointed His Gun First At His Girlfriend’s Head, Olivia Gibbs,  Who Was Sitting On His Lap Pulling The Trigger With No Bullet Discharging…He Then Pointed The Gun At His Own Head Thinking It Was Empty…Needless To Say It Wasn’t… 

To This Day There Is Still Debate On Whether Johnny’s Death Was Accidental Or Involved Foul Play…

His Funeral Was January 2, 1955, @  Clayborn Temple AME In Memphis, TN, With An Estimated 5,000 People In Attendance…He Is Buried In New Park Memorial Cemetery In South Memphis…His Biggest Hit Came Posthumously, “Pledging My Love”, Which Went No. 1 On The Billboard R & B Charts & Stayed On Top Of The Charts For 10 Weeks Starting February 12,1955...Johnny Ace Was Literally No. 1 With A Bullet…Ironically “Pledging My Love” Was Also The Last Song Another Famous Rock Balladeer & Memphis Musician Recorded, Elvis Aaron Presley…The song is also featured in Stephen King inspired and John Carpenter directed classic car horror movie "Christine" and in the crime drama movie "Bad Lieutenant" starring Harvey Keitel...

It Was Normal Practice For White Artists To Cover Music Hits Made By Black Artists For White America’s Consumption (Think Pat Boone’s Version Of Little Richard’s “Tutti Fruitti”)…However, Ace’s “Pledging My Love” Became So Popular Among White Teenagers That It Created A Demand For ‘The Real Deal’…It Was A Crossover Sensation!!! Johnny Ace’s Bittersweet Success Made It Possible For Folks Like Ray Charles, Sam Cooke,  Jackie Wilson & Others To Have Unprecedented Access To A Mainstream Read White Audience & Greater Commercial Success…

Johnny Ace With 21 Songs & Only A 18 Month Career Laid The Foundation For The Things To Come But For The Most Part His Unique Legacy Seems To Have Laid Almost Forgotten Among The Margins & Weeded Fields Of American Music History…However, That Is All Beginning To Change…

Short Bio
Judge Joe Brown was born on July 5, 1947, in Washington, District of Columbia, USA. A reality television judge known for his intransigence with sentencing and his direct, no-frills method of addressing plaintiffs (an approach he refers to as "tough love"), Washington, D.C., native Joe Brown grew up in South Central Los Angeles as the child of two dedicated and diligent schoolteachers. Brown graduated from Dorsey High School in Los Angeles, then attended UCLA as a political science major and put himself through school by working extracurricular jobs as a ditchdigger and a truck loader -- an approach that carried him through his undergraduate years. Prompted by a friend to apply to law school, Brown then re-enrolled at UCLA and took legal classes while paying his expenses via substitute teaching. In 1973, after graduation, he relocated to Tennessee, accepted posts with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and Legal Services, and in time worked his way up to become the first black prosecutor in Memphis history, and director of the Memphis Public Defender's Office. Following a 12-year tenure as an attorney in private practice, Brown received an appointment to Judge of Division 9 of the Shelby County State Criminal Courts in Tennessee, in 1990. Nearly a decade later, executive producer John Terenzio tapped Brown to headline the syndicated Judge Joe Brown, which began its run in 1998. After a strong run the show was not renewed for the 2014 season.

Prior to his TV show, Judge Joe Brown was best known for presiding over the last hearings for James Earl Ray in 1997, as Ray tried to establish that he had been coerced into pleading guilty in the assassination of Martin Luther King. Brown was removed from the case on March 6, 1997, when the Court of Criminal Appeals ruled that Judge Brown's decisions appeared to be biased in Ray's favor. No replacement judge was ever appointed, and Ray died the following year.
