The breaking news is that all 3 defendants have been convicted of felony murder of Ahmaud Arbery. There is no excuse for the murder of Ahmaud Arbery. Vigilantes have no right to harass a black person walking around without just cause. The defense team did all that they could to dehumanize Arbery and lie about his life. Yet, the jury convicted all 3 criminals. The prosecution did a great job in gathering and showing the evidence in the courtroom. Ahmaud Arbery's mother has been a real hero in standing up for justice. She made a promise that justice will be served. I knew by intuition that the outcome of this case would be the opposite of the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict. Arbery's father also celebrated in great jubliation too. Travis McMichael was found guilty on all counts. The other 2 men were convicted on some counts and not on others. This trial took place in Brunswick, Georgia. At the end of the day, black human lives always matter. The defense lawyers use race-baiting nonsense about toenails and slandering black pastors, but the prosecution won. The long battle for black freedom continues, but I'm glad that Ahmaud Arbery's family and friends saw this verdict.
I am not shocked a GOP member Boebert's hateful remarks about Congresswoman Ihan Omar. The GOP has been filled with bigotry, hatred, and extremism for a long time. It has been a party of Donald Trump now. Most Republicans are too cowardly and afraid to confront Trump on any political level. Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado said that she was recently in a Capitol elevator with Omar when a Capitol officer camp. Boebert said that Omar doesn't have a backpack, so we should be fine (and she called Omar as part of the "jihad squad"). White racists like Boebert don't shock me when they make a Islamphobic remarks as Trump promoted the xenophobic travel ban when he was President. That travel ban is gone during the Biden administration. Ihan Omar said that she looked down when she saw her. Omar said that Boebert uses bigotry to get cloud. Ihan Omar denies that the incident, as described by Boebert, took place. Boebert's remarks are wrong, because it is an expression of the old, anti-Muslim bigotry that ignores the diverse cultures of the American people. Boebert defended Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar for tweeting a video that depicted him harming Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (from New York) and President Joe Biden. Many of these GOP hypocrites claim to be for family, morality, and justice when their actions are in opposition to those concepts.
There are the recent news of 27 migrants and asylum seekers who died in the English Channel after their ship sunk. There are about 430 people who are in risk of death in a boat in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of North Africa. There are dozens of children and minors in the boat too. The boat is in risk of being destroyed in the sea. Yet, the European Union leaders in many cases are silent. The Alarm Phone group have tried to contact European authorities in Italy and Malta. These authorities either hang up the phone or say that they don't have "expertise" in these matters. You can say what you want about us Americans, but the xenophobia in Europe is still very huge. What's hypocritical is that many European imperialists invaded countries in Africa, the Middle East, Asia, etc. without compassion spanning centuries. Yet, these same imperialists want to scapegoat migrants when they (i.e. Western imperialists) are to be blamed for the cause of why these migrants are escaping for their lives. Many European governments have overtly anti-immigrant policies. Many people are Iraq, Somalia, and Iran want freedom as migrants. Iraq, Iran, and Somalia have been victims of decades of Western imperialist aggression including the 2003 invasion of Iraq. These war policies left many people homeless and displaced. The racist Fortress Europe agenda is ever clearly promoted by some in the EU. The Daily Mail, Metro, and other European media companies show articles that actually shift blame to other people instead of showing dignity to human migrants.
For years, she has been one of the greatest track and field athletes of this generation. Now, she is a coach inspiring future generations of athletes to develop their own great legacies. She has worked hard all throughout her life prodigiously. Speed, strength, will, heart, and determination represent her career fully. She is Sister Carmelita Jeter, and it was her Birthday days ago. She is now 42 years old. She was born in Los Angeles, California. Her career consists of wide- ranging accomplishments. She played basketball when she attended Bishop Montgomery High School at Torrance, California. Later, she decided to participated in track and field. Her young brother, Eugene, joined the Sacramento Kings. She ran greatly at California State University, Dominguez Hills too (which is found at Carson, California). She earned her bachelor's degree in physical education. She had the record for most NCAA medals by a CSUDH track athlete.
Carmelita Jeter won a silver medal in the 60 m at the 2007 Indoor Track and Field Championships with a personal best of 7.17 seconds. She ran in the 100m specifically. She won gold in the 2007 Osaka World Championships in the 4 X 100m relay. She won gold at Daegu in the 100m too along with the 4 X 100m relay. Some of her great accomplishments was when she won gold in the 4 X 100 m relay at the 2012 London Olympics (which was a world record among the U.S. women relay team) and silver in the 100m in the same Olympics too. She won Bronze at the 2013 Moscow World Championships in the 100m. She ran the 4rd fastest time in women's track history in the 100m with a time of 10.64 at Shanghai, China. After her retirement in 2017, Carmelita Jeter continues to motivate athletes, live life, and motivate future legends at USC (in Southern California). She will continue to show her gifts to the world as a gorgeous black woman. I wish Sister Carmelita Jeter more blessings.
