Real evil.

They are not Happy in Happy Valley tonight, because one of the most influential citizens of that bucolic area, who just happened to be a sociopathic monster, was found guilty by a jury of his peers of defiling and stealing the innocence of young boys for years.

It took the jury a little over 20 hours to make official what the rest of us suspected all along: that Jerry Sandusky was a predator who preyed on innocent children thanks to a powerful institution and iconic coach who turned a blind eye to it all.

The folks of Happy Valley will go back to cheering on their beloved Nittany Lions, and they will hope that the memory of Jerry Sandusky will go away. It won't. Because, in a way, they were all found guilty tonight.

Another institution was on trial here in Philadelphia this past week, and,like Penn State, the jury found that those who represent that institution was also guilty of despicable acts.

Here in America we like to demonize and paint only certain segments of our population as evil and malevolent, and yet we worship and idolize people and institutions that are just as evil. It's only when the facade comes off that the rest of us get to see what was there all along.





      

Republicans are debating...zzzzzz, it's getting really ugly in "Happy Valley", and black people and their money.

I am trying to watch the republican debates, but I have a feeling that it's going to be just like the other debates with more of the same: blah blah blah, elect me and I will blah blah blah.

Wait, someone just asked Herman about his alleged inappropriate behavior with different women. Booooooo!!!  Herman seems mad about that question, and he says that his character is above reproach. Yeaaahh! Carry on folks, I think I will watch "Survivor: South Pacific".

Man this Penn State stuff won't go away. And it shouldn't. Not until we get to the bottom of this scandal. (We are up to victim number 9) Like the rest of you, I want to know who knew what and when. And I want to know why Jerry Sandusky was allowed to hang around that campus and be a part of a charity where he had contact with young boys for years after Penn State officials knew that he had a problem. I want to know what really happened to a Centre County DA who almost prosecuted Sandusky, and who went missing a few years ago.

JoPa has said that he is finally retiring after forever, and the President of the University could be gone by the time I finish writing this post. Is it enough? Only time will tell.

Finally, I see that you Negroes in A-merry-ca will have over a trillion dollars in buying power by 2015. That's a lot of money. Sadly, I am afraid that most of that money will be used to buy things that you Negroes really don't need. And you sure as hell will not be investing or keeping that money in your community. (Dollars flee the hood like white people. As soon as you get it it's gone. Why is that?) There are folks out here talking about black entrepreneurship and making sure that blacks take part in the new innovation economy. Those entrepreneurs need money.  

Come on people, let's keep some of those trillions among ourselves. Your neighborhoods, not to mention your own families, will be better off in the long run.
