The Grio Fabricates incendiary Chaka Khan Headline by Marpessa Kupendua

Rhyanne Green and the Grio owe Chaka Khan and their readers an apology for the intentionally misleading headline on their 2/14 article entitled "Chaka Khan's favorite memory of Whitney Houston: 'Getting high together". The Grio, whose contributors include well-known MSNBC pundits, is alleged to have been created to "satisf(y) the desire of African Americans to stay informed and connected with their community." However, far too often these high-minded offshoots of mainstream media feed from the same trough as Black internet sites best known for photos of massively obese women in disappearing thongs and belly shirts.
Chaka Khan appeared on CNN's Piers Morgan broadcast on 2/13, two days after the death of her 'little sister', Whitney Houston. This was a privileged and rare moment as she spoke vividly, yet calmly, with the soul that we know her all too well for, despite Piers' acting out his shtick of 'hard-hitting' rudeness. Tales of Chaka's past no-shows and hazy performances are legendary and she, obviously pained and weary, frankly discussed being a recovering addict and anecdotally talked about 'getting high' with Whitney and Bobby, never describing it as her "favorite memory". Chaka spoke on her dismay that Whitney hadn't been better sheltered from temptations and shared her own coping mechanism of avoiding parties, drugs and alcohol by arriving at celebrity-laden events just prior to their commencement so that she wouldn't fall victim to her own demons.
Chaka also discussed the macabre Clive Davis pre-Grammy party where gussied-up celebrities red-carpeted and guzzled champagne after only learning of Whitney's death a few short hours before, her corpse a few floors above them and Whitney's devastated daughter fighting to get in to see her at the full-fledged police scene, in one of the most bizarre and unseemly displays of narcissim and arrogance ever recorded. "I thought that was complete insanity," Chaka Khan told Morgan. "I don't know what could motivate a person, to have a party, in a building, where the person, whose life he had influenced so enormously, and whose life had been affected by her...I don't understand how that party went on." Even after Piers' defense of Davis and the insensitive 'mourners' (who partied long into the night), Chaka stood firm and continued that, "A more honest tribute, in my opinion, would have been, maybe, call everybody together, say a prayer, let's eat dinner, and go home."
The next day (2/14) The Grio's tawdry and sensationalist lie burst forth onto Facebook (and is still being quoted as fact to this day): "Chaka Khan's favorite memory of Whitney Houston: 'Getting high together'," complete with a garish photo as the cherry on top. Like a tattling child, The Grio demonized Chaka by purposely inflaming her remarks for a heightened reaction of righteous indignation. The pay-off? Hundreds of Facebook comments where at least 90% of respondents were livid, sickened, name-calling and even threatening to boycott Chaka. Others in the Black internet press also created false intrigue instead of standing with and even applauding Chaka for not towing the corporate line and embracing the boldness with which she outed the callousness of the industry and her peers. This is what we get from having 'our own' spaces fronted by white mainstream media on the web. Neo-Black press in 'post-racial' America.
"I think we all, as artists, because we're highly sensitive people, and this machine around us, this so-called 'music industry,' is such a demonic thing. It sacrifices people's lives and their essences at the drop of a dime...I had a manager once say to me, ' You know you're worth more money dead than alive.'" Chaka Khan.
As we condemn celebrities for their excesses and an industry rife with corruption, exploitation and drug dealing of every sort, can't we handle the truth when they tell it? The deletion of 31 categories of mostly ethnic music from the Grammy's is impetus enough to put Hollyweird on full blast instead of piling on in condemnation of one among them who dares to speak out.
Media Take-Out.Com, touting itself as "The Most Visited Urban Website in the World" and whose founder has no problem admitting that "we get 90% of our stories from insiders looking to spill the beans like hairstylists, bodyguards or bitter ex-girlfriends" headlined: "Chaka Khan REFUSED To Perform A WHITNEY TRIBUTE At The Grammys!!!" even though her widely circulated tweet stated: “As I grieve the loss of my friend and 'little sister,' I don’t feel it appropriate to perform at this time. Continue to pray for the family.” She also told Piers Morgan that she was not willing to perform “I’m Every Woman,” because she "felt it was ridiculous and very inappropriate." Is this the dirty mattress on which The Grio wants to lie?
The Grio should reflect upon our great Black divas such as Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, Esther Phillips, Phyllis Hyman, and carefully consider on what side of history their published offerings to the international community will fall when students and researchers read reports of the tumult surrounding the death of Whitney Houston in years to come. Mimicking the lowest common denominator and caring not the cost to the spirit of a grieving woman telling her very personal story is certainly not anything remotely resembling a true griot (keeper of history).
As the Black internet press regurgitates what the tabloid press puts out to lure in readers they are just as scurrilous as any rag on the supermarket shelves. Not a mind-blowing revelation, to be sure, but during momentous times like these it would behoove all of our writers to take out the trash more often.

Dear all, PLEASE READ CAREFULLY... (Sorry for any repeats.)
Let's not ignore this in hopes that it will go away!
EITHER YOU'RE GONNA BE PAYING FOR MORE PRISONS, OR HOUSED IN THEM.
This may be the last chance for Boston to express a collective voice against massive encarceration. The State Conference Committee and other State Representatives and Senators will be invited to hear this testimony.
1. If you feel this law will unfairly impact people of color (the largest prison populations) and poor whites, then say it in that room.
And,
2. If you want the state to tell you how much state aid will be cut to Boston and other towns to pay for the MA CORRECTIONS MASTER PLAN,
then say you want the state to... "thoroughly review and publish the findings of the social and economic impact that the proposed 3-Strikes Habitual
Offender Bills may have on all Massachusetts’ cities and towns if passed and enacted." (see research web-links below)

Councillor Yancey asks City of Boston to oppose Massachusetts’ three strikes proposal
Boston City Hall (February 9, 2012) – Boston City Councillor Charles C. Yancey yesterday presented to the Boston City Council a resolution, urging the Patrick Administration to explore the social and economic impacts of proposed three strikes, habitual offender, laws in Massachusetts.
Three strikes laws (a metaphor from baseball) are statutes enacted by state governments in the United States that impose life sentences to persons convicted of two or more serious criminal offenses. Nearly 30 states currently have some form of habitual offender laws.
Councillor Yancey, noting that the City of Boston stands to be directly impacted by decisions made at the State House, thanked community leaders for raising the level of awareness of the proposed three strikes laws in Massachusetts. “I don’t believe the City Council should remain silent. I am concerned that we’re going to close the doors on far too many people who, otherwise, may have an opportunity to receive treatment and rehabilitation,” he said.
Councillor Felix Arroyo, calling three strikes laws “bad policy,” urged the Council to take a unanimous stance against any measure that would condemn nonviolent people for life. Arroyo argued that the number of violent offenders is very small. “There’s a big difference between someone who is evil enough to assault a person or take a life, and someone else that is just making some bad choices and running with the wrong crowd,” he said. “I want this Council to be strong in stating that there are people who we believe can be saved. There are people we believe can be productive members of society,” he said.
Councillor Tito Jackson said he favored sentencing reforms that would eliminate discriminatory drug laws and costly prison sentences of nonviolent offenders. “I’d like to thank Councillor Yancey for bringing this issue fourth. I believe it’s a timely one,” he said.
Councillor Ayanna Pressley, who cited the failed three strikes legislation of California, said she envisions prison reform laws that would include access to treatment programs, mental health services, as well as employment training and employment placement. “We should demand a bill, which eliminates mandatory minimums for nonviolent drug offenders,” she added.
Councillor Matt O’Malley, who previously served as director of legislative affairs for Suffolk County Sherriff Andrea Cabral, said he was very familiar with Suffolk County’s over crowded prison system. “The Council can and should play a role in [three strikes] conversation,” he said.
Yancey, who has attended thousands of funerals of innocent victims of crime and violence, said he did not subscribe to the concept of coddling criminals. “I’m talking about dealing with this issue in a smart way; not in a manner in which we’re going to do more harm than good,” he said.
Councillor Yancey’s resolution was referred to the Committee on Public Safety, which is chaired by Councillor Michael Ross, who commended Yancey for initiating the three strikes conversation on the Boston City Council and who expressed his willingness to deliberate the issue. “For the City of Boston to remain silent on this matter would be a problem,” he said.
Opponents of Massachusetts’ three strikes bill include the Massachusetts Legislative Black and Latino Caucus in the Massachusetts House, as well as the Nation of Islam, the NAACP, The Center for Church and Prison; Boston Workers Alliance, Boston’s Citywide Outreach Ministries, and the Association of Minority Law Enforcement Officers.
Yancey said the Boston City Council has a responsibility to communicate with politicians at the state level its concerns regarding the impact of three strikes laws. “I don’t think there is anyone on this body that would like to see hundreds of people warehoused in our prisons, when what they really need is drug and alcohol treatment programs,” he said.

RESOLUTION FILED AND TO BE HEARD BY CITY COUNCIL PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE (February...date/time--T/B/A).
City of Boston in City Council
Boston City Councillor Charles C. Yancey
Resolution opposing proposed 3-strikes bill in Massachusetts
WHEREAS:
Three strikes laws are statutes enacted by state governments in the United States which require the state courts to impose a life sentence (usually with the possibility of parole) to persons who have been convicted of two or more serious criminal offenses. Twenty-seven states currently have some form of habitual offender laws; and
WHEREAS:
Because Three Strikes Laws disproportionately impact African-Americans and Latinos far more than white criminals, the laws are deemed to be unfair and discriminatory; and
WHEREAS:
The rationale for decreasing crime through mass incarceration of violent offenders will ensnare the non-violent, the petty criminal, the drug dependent, and the mentally ill at an escalating cost of $47,000 per year; and
WHEREAS:
Nearly 700 crimes in Massachusetts currently count as felonies, including breaking and entering, assault and battery on a police officer, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, and unarmed robbery; and
WHEREAS:
The Three Strikes proposal in Massachusetts, which supports massive long-term incarceration, will subsequently exacerbate an already over-crowded prison system and lead to an increased burden on Massachusetts’ tax payers; and
WHEREAS:
Boston, like many other cities and towns is under increasing financial pressure to maintain a balance between the provision of basic neighborhood services and to fulfill labor contract obligations that include salary and wage increases, health care costs, pension investments, and other benefits for city employees; and
WHEREAS:
Scarcity of resources has led to city budget constraints, thereby, causing: public school personnel lay-offs; inadequate environmental maintenance of city owned facilities; the closing and merging of public schools and community centers; as well as, downsizing and uncertain futures within departments, such as, libraries, police, and fire; and
WHEREAS:
Oponents of the three strikes bill include the Massachusetts Legislative Black and Latino Caucus in the Massachusetts House, as well as the Nation of Islam, the NAACP, The Center for Church and Prison; Boston Workers Alliance, Boston’s Citywide Outreach Ministries, and the Massachusetts Association of Minority Law Enforcement Officers; Be It Therefore
REBE IT RESOLVED:
That the Boston City Council, in meeting assembled, urges Governor Deval Patrick and the 187th General Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts thoroughly review and publish the findings of the social and economic impact that the proposed 3-Strikes Habitual Offender Bill may have on all Massachusetts’ cities and towns if passed and enacted.

THE ECONOMIST
America's prisons
We're in the jailhouse now
Jun 22nd 2011, 19:20 by J.F. | ATLANTA
http://www.economist.com/blogs/democracyinamerica/2011/06/americas-prisons <http://www.economist.com/blogs/democracyinamerica/2011/06/americas-prisons>
THE Justice Policy Institute <http://www.justicepolicy.org/index.html> , a criminal-justice-reform advocacy group, has a report <http://www.justicepolicy.org/uploads/justicepolicy/documents/gaming_the_system.pdf> out today about America's for-profit prison industry. First, before the gnashing of teeth on both sides begins, let me state the obvious: there is nothing inherently wrong, or even objectionable, about private companies running prisons. Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) <http://www.cca.com/> , the largest such company, operated 66 "correction and detention facilities" in 2010, and saw $1.67 billion in revenue. In its 2010 annual report it said it "benefits from significant economies of scale", and it well may, particularly when compared to corrections departments in low-population states. (Having said that, evidence that private prisons offer significant cost savings to their state-run counterparts is both thinner <http://www.azcorrections.gov/adc/reports/ADC_FY2007_cost_comparison.pdf> and more ambiguous <http://www.gao.gov/archive/1996/gg96158.pdf> in practice than in theory.) Nothing in the constitution says that prisoners must be held in government-owned or -operated facilities, and as the report explains, American prisons tended to be privately owned before the advent of the penitentiary system. For its shareholders CCA has done well, increasing its revenue every year in the last ten as the share of prisoners held in private facilities has risen (the second-largest prison-operator, the GEO Group <http://www.thegeogroupinc.com/> , saw similar rises but had a dip from 2004 to 2005).
But for these companies to do well, people have to go to prison. Again, this is not in and of itself a problem: there are for-profit hospitals, and for them to do well people have to get sick. The difference is that for-profit hospitals tend not to poison people and break legs to keep their beds fully occupied, while for-profit prisons, as the JPI's report explains, tend to lobby for policies that serve them: harsher prison sentences and greater reliance on incarceration than on probation and parole. Admittedly, the report shows a great deal more smoke than fire, and its most damning intimation—that private-prison lobbyists were behind Arizona's immigration bill—overlooks the regrettable popularity <http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2010/05/arizonas-immigration-law-is-popular-is-racial-profiling/56192/> of such measures. And, once again, companies are free to lobby for their own interests.
The problem is that their interests—imprisoning more people and keeping them in jail for longer periods of time—are not ours. Imprisoning people is expensive, ineffective and increasingly unpopular <http://www.economist.com/node/18744617> . It is that latter quality that may provide the greatest amount of hope. For years criminal-justice reform failed because it was seen as soft on crime. No politician wants to advocate for murderers and child molesters (never mind that most prisoners are in for non-violent drug offences). Hence, for instance, the government's sloth <http://reason.com/archives/2011/06/20/rape-factories> in combating prison rape <http://www.economist.com/node/18651484> . And prisoners cannot plead their cases as effectively as prison builders can plead theirs—the former tend to be poor, so they cannot afford lobbyists, and are often disenfranchised, and thus have no political representation.
But recently groups like the Pew Centre on the States <http://www.pewcenteronthestates.org/topic_category.aspx?category=528> and Right on Crime have rebranded reform efforts as "smart on crime", rather than soft. And in a time of declining crime rates and tight state budgets, smart reforms are gaining ground, and most aim to reduce the prison population. That may not be in the interest of CCA—the firm says as much in its 2010 anual report—but it's high time for good sense to trump good lobbying and cowardly politics.

Blacks Given Longer Sentences Than Whites for Same Crimes
By David Wallechinsky and Noel Brinkerhoff, AllGov
11 February 12
<http://www.readersupportednews.org/images/stories/alphabet/rsn-A.jpg> new academic study of 58,000 federal criminal cases has found significant disparities in sentencing for blacks and whites arrested for the same crimes. The research led to the conclusion that African-Americans' jail time was almost 60% longer than white sentences.
According to M. Marit Rehavi of the University of British Columbia and Sonja B. Starr, who teaches criminal law at the University of Michigan Law School, the racial disparities can be explained “in a single prosecutorial decision: whether to file a charge carrying a mandatory minimum sentence….Black men were on average more than twice as likely to face a mandatory minimum charge as white men were, holding arrest offense as well as age and location constant.” Prosecutors are about twice as likely to impose mandatory minimums on black defendants as on white defendants.
In federal cases, black defendants faced average sentences of 60 months, while the average for white defendants was only 38 months.
The report concludes that sentence disparities “can be almost completely explained by three factors: the original arrest offense, the defendant's criminal history, and the prosecutor's initial choice of charges.”
