In an impressive show of support for murdered 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, thousands of people came out to a rally in Florida, as well as other states, to protest his unjust killing, by racist self-appointed neighborhood watch captain, George Zimmerman. The Reverend Al Sharpton organized the most recent rally in honor of the teen. The case has touched millions around the world, due to the great injustice that transpired, as unarmed Martin was stalked and summarily killed by Martin.
The killer, Zimmerman, has strangely gone missing, retreating into hiding in the face of heated global criticism over his deeds that robbed a promising young man of his life. The police need to arrest Zimmerman soon and perp walk him as well, to help quell public anger. He cannot remain free. There are many people online stating they are willing to go to prison for killing Zimmerman. He needs to be imprisoned.
"Black And Blue: Legend of the Hip Hop Cop" is an interesting documentary following the work of former police officer Derrick Parker. The New York Police Department and Miami Beach Police Department have collaborated to spy on rappers in the entertainment industry, compiling a massive dossier that is passed around among agencies, including the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation).
The documentary features a number of rappers and music industry executives, angered at the dossier that has been assembled on them, tracking their movements. The Reverend Al Sharpton questions the legitimacy of this initiative, as individuals who were not under indictment, are being spied on, with voluminous files being kept in this regard.

However, that being said, to be fair, some rappers have given the police much reason to be concerned and launch investigations, as acts of violence are more common in hip hop than any other genre of music. This is undeniable. There have been slayings on public streets, where famous rappers were gunned down in brutal fashion.
Many rappers have also engaged in financial crimes, attempting to live the lavish lifestyle fictitiously portrayed on their albums and in music videos. Police work being what it is, means such criminal activity will show up on their radar and face intense scrutiny. But, thankfully for the entertainment industry, the FBI takes bribes and is at the top of the law enforcement chain of command.

Lisa Raye McCoy has debut her new reality show titled "The Real McCoy" and it does not paint her in a flattering light. McCoy is a Hollywood actress that had a few minor film roles and co-starred on a sitcom that was moderately successful.
She then met and married Michael Misick, then Premier of Turks and Caicos, located in the Caribbean. She admits it was a business marriage and not one of love. Together, they overspent the people's money to the tune of $20,000,000, which ended in Britain returning the island to colony status, a move that was not welcome in the Caribbean or by CARICOM.

McCoy states Misick told her he had $180,000,000, which is stunning considering the British government reports he went into office with $15,000 - $50,000 in his bank account.
There were reports of frequent shopping trips by the First Couple, where they dropped $100,000 minimum during each spending spree, purchasing the finest clothes and jewelry money can buy. She flew in her Hollywood friends to the island on private jets at $50,000 per trip. The couple took expensive vacations and bought real estate all over the world, all out of the people's money, leading to the financial ruination of the nation.
Misick lost his footing and began living like a rich movie star. He even began dressing like Scarface, with a cigar hanging out of his mouth, rather than a Prime Minister.
One of Raye's friends she brought to meet Misick, who is the co-host of B.E.T.'s 106 & Park, had an affair with the Premier behind her back, infuriating McCoy.
Turks and Caicos is a beautiful place with so much economic potential, but rather that building on what the nation has in its favor, Misick became sidetracked through questionable financial choices he made and it led to the collapse of the government.

Now McCoy is back in Hollywood and almost broke. Misick is up on corruption charges in Turks and Caicos and McCoy is still clinging to the title of First Lady in restarting her career, even comparing herself to U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama. Sorry, but Mrs. Obama would not have said, "I have a new leash on life" during a radio broadcast.
The reality show The Real McCoy is at times very awkward to watch. You see a woman financially struggling to come back to earth, after living like a queen. Her eyes water like an onion is present, at news from Al Sharpton and a lawyer, who inform her, there is no money to get out of Misick and his creditors may pursue her. McCoy in turn asks if she can beat Misick up to get the money...which isn't even his to begin with, as it belongs to Turks and Caicos.
McCoy is very haughty in this reality series and it does her no favors. Her daughter is definitely her best accomplishment, as she is a beautiful girl that speaks well and carries herself with a humility that translates well on screen. She could learn something from her daughter.
Michael looked like he was higher than a satellite in that pic
Few could have imagined Michael Jackson would meet such a sad, untimely end, but compounding the tragedy is news from Los Angeles that his will appears to be a forgery.
The Jackson family stated it is not Michael’s signature on the will. Additionally, the will that was signed in Los Angeles, conflicts with photographic evidence showing the pop singer on the other side of the country in New York, at a protest with the Rev. Al Sharpton, slamming Sony and then C.E.O. Tommy Mottola and their conduct regarding the entertainer’s career.
Which brings me back to the point I have been making for months, when an artist, particularly a black one, owns a copyrighted catalog (music publishing ect) of any volume and value, said artist becomes a target for destruction by the Hollywood system, which is essentially a cabal, that still has its feet firmly trenched in racism and that old time slavery mentality.
Michael Jackson and Rev. Al Sharpton
Well, you guys have really done it this time. The most famous entertainer in the world is dead and under very suspicious circumstances. The world is not amused. I predict nothing but bad will come of this for Hollywood.
First Sam Cooke, who was the first black man to demand and own his own music publishing, now Jackson, who had half ownership in the Sony catalog, winds up dead as well, in a situation that is so suspect.
Hollywood has nastier secrets it is hiding in the same vein, pardon the pun. However, when it goes public and it will, it’s going to be a wrap for certain executives and a few famous names as well.
It’s really sad and pathetic when apart of the corporate sector, traded on Wall Street, that is supposed to be about entertainment, is capable of murder to steal others’ assets and labor.
Then Hollywood wonders why its sales are in the toilet. No one wants to support such madness and villainy. If this madness continues it is only a matter of time before its spells Hollywood’s financial epitaph.
Jackson's Will -- Randy Says Not MJ's Signature
Posted Oct 21st 2009 1:35PM by TMZ Staff - Randy Jackson claims Michael Jackson could not have signed his 2002 will, because he was 2,475 air miles away from the place the document was supposedly inked.
According to the will, it was signed on July 7, 2002 at 5:00 PM in Los Angeles. Randy Jackson tells TMZ he has proof MJ was in New York from July 5 through July 9, on a campaign against Sony honcho Tommy Mottola, claiming Mottola had a thing against Black artists.
The lawyer for the estate, Howard Weitzman, tells TMZ the witnesses to the will were face-to-face with Jackson when he signed the document. Weitzman would not say if the will was signed in L.A., even though the document refers to Los Angeles...
UPDATE: TMZ spoke with Al Sharpton's rep, Rachel Noerdlinger, who confirms Sharpton and Jackson were protesting Mottola in NY together in 2002 on July 6th and July 9th.
As the for the key date -- July 7th -- Sharpton's rep released the following curious statement:
"We have reason to believe that Michael may have been in NY on the 7th and Rev. Sharpton will address this after he discusses it with the Jackson family."
