What makes you say obviously racism? You don't think it's possible he could be involved in some sort of activity that could lead to an investigation? It said in the article that he's had trouble like that in his past a couple of times.

I think it was a joke.

West24, You could have hated the two of them in one post rather than double posting

I really don't hate either of them. I just think they are both hustlers that are not really helping those they say that they are helping. Jesse J. has done some good over the years, while Al S. is a buffoon and huckster, pure and simple.

Al and Jesse are nothing alike.

Al is a really bad man. He has never been willing to deal with his minipsumation of the Tawana Brawley episode in a responsible fashion. He ruined someone's life with a false accusation and now hides his income behind a bunch of shell organizations to avoid paying the judgment.

Jesse is just making a living, and there is no crime in being a race hustler. His personal life isn't my business.

I think you give Jesse, and race hustlers everywhere, far too much credit. However, you would know better, being closer to his Hymietown home base.

You would have to ask Tawana Brawley. I remember her on TV insisting that her story was true and that no one was manipsumating her. Or maybe it was manipsunating. It was a long time ago and I can't remember exactly.

dopey,

If you've read my posts, you'll see that I certainly agree with you about Al S. But, I believe that the judgement was paid (by friends of Al S), so there is no need to hide anything to avoid paying the judgement. As you say "Al is a really bad man". But it's not solely for the Tawana Brawley case.

As to Jesse J. and his race hustler profession. I guess it could be an "honorable" profession, but not the way Jesse does it. It's no secret that he has used extortion and intimidation throughout his career, and has played fast and loose with funds that are not his.
