You made many salient points which merit further attention by the media. There's more to this story than meets the eye. However, behind the scenes both shake-down artist, Gamble ad Littlejohn, are being investigated. Our righteous brothas and sistas easily see through this typical shake-down ruse.

I was delighted to discover your About Arlington Texas blog today, and was browsing your links. May I suggest changing the C.A.T.S. link to "Creative Arts Theatre & School"? There is a lot happening at CATS and I was a little disappointed to find that all the stories and photos were about, well... feline cats. FYI, the CATS web site is www.creativearts.org. I have accumulated ten years as photographer at different times for both the Arlington Star-Telegram CLICK and the Arlington Morning News CITYSCAPE and would be interested in contributing Arlington event images to your site's stories. Feel free to contact me through my web site www.PortfolioStudio.net ~Paul Knudsen Hi, Debbie~

]]> Comment on Radio Personality Calls for March After Hate Crime by Lorraine http://www.about-arlingtontx.com/radio-personality-calls-for-march-after-hate-crime/#comment-20028 Lorraine Mon, 07 Jan 2008 23:05:29 +0000 http://www.about-arlingtontx.com/radio-personality-calls-for-march-after-hate-crime/#comment-20028 I truly think this Hate Crime should be investigated further before the march is organized. The individuals reporting this claim have been rumored to have scammed many individuals in the DFW area and be the cause of many verbal and physical altercations with all races. More black on black than anything. Not saying that the 66 yr old woman was right with her actions but, what lead up to the attack? Was it self defense? What are the odds of an older white woman, alone having the guts to walk up to a very strong confrontational woman such as Silk? Was she set up? Who truly started the confrontation? Many people have been known to attack the car. Where are the wittness's? Could they have sprayed it themselves to ensure a quick claim? will a civil suit be filed? Should the march be organized after the trial if the woman isn't charged to the fullest term and fines? Do we know if everyone in the neighborhood felt the same way as one neighbor? Did she live in the neighborhood 2 yrs ago? If so, why the problems now? Are there any other blacks in the neighborhood whom have experienced problems? How long did the home sit unattended after the fire? One needs to ask if one is looking for attention or there is potential for financial gain before a march is organized. Marches should only be conducted and organized if its fact based. Who's the offender? Is it a clear cut scenario or is it "he said she said." Black Americans need to make sure that our attempts to organize and demonstrate is not wasted on an individuals need for attention. Look at a claimants history and credibility before we as a race are made fools of in front of what we're fighting against. THINK !!!! It saddens me to have to write this post but the Black Race learned how to beat the system by watching the white man get away with it since the beginning of American History. However, it doesn't make it right. Concerned Reader I truly think this Hate Crime should be investigated further before the march is organized.
