Quantrell Strikes Again!!!

Hello again, blogfans!

As you know, I'm vehemently opposed to "finding racism under every rock" and those who seem to do just that. Here in Houston, our community activist of that stripe is one Quantrell X, the Nation of Islam mouthpiece who shows up for every little thing that involves someone of color (well, as long as a video camera is anywhere near, that is!) and assumes the role of "family spokesperson."

This time, Quantrell bit off a little more than he could chew.

In the case of NFL receiver Donald Driver's father, Quantrell showed up as usual, and ranted about the (alleged) brutality of the Houston police and how they supposedly forced him to ingest cocaine in an effort to introduce him to Jesus (Quantrell's words, not mine).

You can read about Quantrell's rant here.

Well, imagine this! The police officers were exonerated! There is no evidence that any of the allegations against the officers have any merit, so charges are being dismissed and the officers involved are suing Quantrell and the elder Driver for defamation of character!

Hmmmm.....not too bright, eh Quantrell? Perhaps it would be wise to see that camera as a two-way mirror from now on! What you say may jump up and bite you on the other side!

Look; no one is more against police brutality than yours truly, and no one detests racism more than I do. Here's the key; rail against REAL racism when it shows it's ugly head and leave the "alleged" variety to the people who investigate that sort of thing for a living! If it proves to be racism as well, THEN you can call the limelight to yourself if the family wants you to do so and shine the light of truth on it! In this day and age, racism is totally without a home and you may find yourself on the RIGHT side of a public argument for a change!

Just a friendly piece of advise from a casual observer who's sick and tired of hearing your wolf cries, Quantrell!
