WTF Alert: REAL HIV Emergency in Virginia (VIrginia)
Ladies and gentlemen, there is an UNOFFICIAL HEATH EMERGENCY going on in Virginia. MediaTakeOut.com has learned that police arrested an HIV POSITIVE Virginia prostitute for INTENTIONALLY having unprotected sex with THOUSANDS of Virginia men.
Here's how it all popped off. Last July two undercover police officers busted a 45 year old CRACKHEAD named Patricia Ann Curry for prostitution. During the bust, police realized that Patricia was willing to have UNPROTECTED SEX with the officers for $20.
After she was arrested, MediaTakeOut.com learned that police began questioning Patricia and were SHOCKED at what she admitted to. Patricia told detectives that she was diagnosed with HIV in 2007 and, since then, has had unprotected sex with about 50 people each month.. Using those numbers, she would have exposed more than 1100 MEN in Virginia to her DEADLY VIRUS.
But here is where the story gets even CRAZIER, Patricia wasn't even convicted of a SERIOUS CRIME. The judge found that there was INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE to put this woman in jail for ATTEMPTED MURDER. So they gave her azz a MISDEMEANOR - meaning that she might NOT GET ANY JAIL TIME!!
First off, ladies if you live in Virginia get yourselves CHECKED IMMEDIATELY!!! Also, make sure to EMAIL or FACEBOOK this article so that any of your girls in Virginia can know about this MESS!!
Second, this judge is OUTRAGEOUS. If you think that this decision is as OUTRAGEOUS as we do, let the judge know about it. He still hasn’t sentenced Patricia yet, so maybe we can get him to go HARD ON HER!!!

Memphis Mad At Vh1 Hip Hop Honors (Tennessee)
" If the VH1 Hip Hop Honors passed you by Monday night. You should take a second look. The music network saluted the "Dirty South." But, they left out Memphis, the heart of the inspiration for rap artists around the country. The Memphis hip hop community was shocked Monday night. So were its fans. Twitter and Facebook lit up when the show ended without a mention of Memphis and its history in the industry. "If you ask T.I., Lil' Wayne, Jeezy, all the people that are out now, some of their influences, they're always going to say Scar Face, UGK, and 8Ball and MJG when it comes to the South," K97 DJ Devin Steel said." - 13

Blacks Are Being Blocked From Southern Juries Recent Study Shows
According to a recent study, Southern states have been excluding Blacks and other ethnic groups when selecting juries:
While jury makeup varies widely by jurisdiction, the organization, which studied eight Southern states — Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and Tennessee — found areas in all of them where significant problems persist. In Alabama, courts have found racially discriminatory jury selection in 25 death penalty cases since 1987, and there are counties where more than 75 percent of black jury pool members have been struck in death penalty cases.
An analysis of Jefferson Parish, La., by the Louisiana Capital Assistance Center found that from 1999 to 2007, blacks were struck from juries at more than three times the rate of whites.
In North Carolina, at least 26 current death row defendants were sentenced by all-white juries. In South Carolina, a prosecutor said he struck a black potential juror because he “shucked and jived” when he walked.
Studies have shown that racially diverse juries deliberate longer, consider a wider variety of perspectives and make fewer factual errors than all-white juries, and that predominantly black juries are less likely to impose the death penalty.
Excluding jurors based on race has been illegal since 1875, but after Reconstruction, all-white juries remained the norm in the South.
“It really made lynching and the Ku Klux Klan possible,” said Christopher Waldrep, a historian at San Francisco State University and the author of a forthcoming book about a lawyer who was able, in a rare case, to prove jury discrimination in Mississippi in 1906. “If you’d had a lot of black grand jurors investigating crimes, it would have made lynching impossible.”
In one Mississippi case, a black man, Curtis Flowers, was sentenced to death in 2004 for killing four furniture store employees. The jury was made up of 11 whites and one black after prosecutors used all 15 of their peremptory strikes on black jurors. Montgomery County, where the crime occurred, is 45 percent black. The Mississippi Supreme Court reversed the case, noting that “racially motivated jury selection is still prevalent 20 years after Batson.”
At a retrial, in which prosecutors did not seek the death penalty, the jury of seven whites and five blacks was split along racial lines, resulting in a hung jury. At the second retrial, prosecutors sought the death penalty, which eliminated more blacks from the pool of qualified jurors. The jury, nine whites and three blacks, hung again when one black member declined to convict, said Andre De Gruy, the director of the state’s Office of Capital Defense Counsel.
The Equal Justice Initiative study argues that jury diversity “is especially critical because the other decision-making roles in the criminal justice system are held mostly by people who are white.” In the eight Southern states the study examined, more than 93 percent of the district attorneys are white. In Arkansas and Tennessee, all of them are white.
