McDonald Manager snapped and beat-up employee

A 17-year-old fast food employee says he was beaten by a manager Monday at the McDonald's on Austin Peay near the Raleigh Springs Mall.

"He had grabbed me from behind and started punching me in the face," says Jarelle Gray. "He had me in a headlock. I tried to grab his legs when he was kneeing me."

Gray, a Bolton High School Senior, has been released from the hospital and is recovering at home. He has a broken nose and his right eye is swollen shut. He also has cuts on his lip, face and forehead.

Gray says a supervisor called him Sunday night to work the overnight shift from 10:00 p.m. Sunday until 5:00 a.m. Monday.

Gray says the supervisor promised him a free meal and an extra $30 to cover the shift. Gray says the morning manager arrived 30 minutes after five, a half hour after his shift was supposed to end. He says the manager asked him to stay longer. Gray says he was tired, and decided to clock out and go home.

When he grabbed the free meal he says he was promised, Gray says the manager lost it, and went on the attack.

Gray says there were three officers eating at the McDonald's at the time of the attack. He says the officers told him they didn't see him getting beaten. An ambulance was called, and Gray was taken to St. Francis Hospital.

We went to the manager's home to ask him questions about the incident, but he told us he had no comment, and then shut the door.

Gray's father, Jerome Gray, says his son is a good kid who was holding down a job, saving money and preparing to go to college. "To see him get victimized by trying to do the right thing, is heartbreaking," says Jerome.

Memphis Police say the incident is listed as a simple assault case. It's unclear whether the manger has been charged at this point. More information should become available once the police report is released Tuesday.

The McDonald's Franchisee Released the following statement to WREG:

"Providing our employees with a safe, positive work environment is a top priority for our organization. We are disturbed by this situation, as anyone would be in similar circumstances. We wish the employee a quick and speedy recovery.

We have zero tolerance for this type of behavior in our restaurants. Upon learning about these allegations, we took immediate action to gather the facts. The alleged behavior of the individual in question is not reflective of our employees or organization, and we have taken action consistent our employment policies. The individual in question has been suspended pending further investigation.

We require all employees to abide by the law, as well as by our stringent employment policies."

I wish that this case was as easy as it looks, considering that this young man has a fat lip, broken nose and closed eye. Although as you look at it why would an adult just thrash a juvenile with so much intensity? So many unanswered questions as to what really happen but for the most part whatever happened it does not matter because the manager violated company protocol... The manager will be fired and McDonald's will be sued. McDonald's will settle out of court for an undisclosed amount and this case will eventually go away... But they will pay!!!

fourth grade teacher fired for having sex with her husband

When Jarretta Hamilton, a fourth grade teacher at a Florida Christian school, told administrators she was pregnant, she expected them to ask when she was due.

When Jarretta Hamilton, a fourth grade teacher at a Florida Christian school, told administrators she was pregnant, she expected them to ask when she was due. She did not, however, think her answer would get her fired.

She did not, however, think her answer would get her fired.

In April 2009, Hamilton told her boss at Southland Christian School in St. Cloud, Fla., that she was pregnant and planned to take a six-week leave in October. When asked when she conceived, Hamilton answered honestly: She became pregnant just three weeks prior to her Feb. 20 wedding.

That was enough to get her fired under the school's strict morality rules, which prohibit teachers from "fornication," engaging in sex before marriage.

"Jaretta was asked not to return because of a moral issue that was disregarded, namely fornication, sex outside marriage," administrator Julie Ennis wrote in a letter to Hamilton's lawyer.

Now, Hamilton is suing the school in federal court, seeking damages for lost wages and emotional distress.

"She was incredibly upset about being fired," Hamilton's lawyer Edward Gay told ABCNews.com. "She was upset that she wasn't able to complete the term with less than two months left in the school year and upset that her fourth graders were told about this."

According to Gay, Hamilton filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, but opted out of mediation and chose instead to file suit because of the commission's lengthy backlog.

According to the complaint, Hamilton is suing under federal gender discrimination laws, a state marriage discrimination law and for violations of her privacy.

"The school told the students and their parents why Hamilton had been fired. Disclosing that kind of personal information was a violation of her privacy," Gay said.

"There were never any complaints about her teaching. The school said she was an outstanding teacher," he added.

The school does not dispute the reasons for firing Hamilton, calling sex outside of marriage "an immoral action," but argues that her termination does not rise to discrimination because it employs other pregnant women.

Lebron still needs help!

The reason that Le Bron still needs help is that King James can not do it by himself! No NBA champs have ever won it with one superstar. You see although James has a good supporting cast, lets face it, who are they? So if you have to think about it then my point is made.

Just to give you an ideal what I am talking about Magic had Worthy, Jordan had Pippen, and Bird had McHale. I am not saying run out an get a super star that's going to compete with James, but someone to compliment his style. When you have Hall of Fame rs, they also create them as well!

James needs either a forward who has got game or a decent point guard.Then build your team around your pieces and then you can watch the champions roll in...

Some people could not understand the firing of the coach (Mike Brown) and GM Danny Ferry because they had winning seasons. Think about it this way, when the Bulls fired Doug Collins the team had a winning season as well, but they were not wining championships so they had to lets him go. Although after they hired Phil Jackson the rest was history! It was win win for everyone.

You see finding a player is not enough, finding a player to help you win is not only what you want but what you need as well. Then Super Human play of James is why record books have his names listed in so many areas james just keep breaking records. Although many question why has he not won a championship? Lets look at it from this view point... For a team to have championship win, they need champions! It is still a question is the King as good as Jordan. The only way that you can answer that question is yes and no.

The reason that I can say yes is that the King has managed to pick his team up and carry them on his shoulder do what Jordan did in many a instance quicker than Kobe and Jordan. How can I make such a statement well lets look at it this way it took Michael Jordan until (1996, 1997, and 1998) as well as an NBA-record 72 regular-season wins in the 1995-96 NBA season. Jordan

Jordan joined the NBA's Chicago Bulls in 1984. He quickly emerged as a league star, entertaining crowds with his prolific scoring. His leaping ability, illustrated by performing slam dunks from the free throw line in slam dunk contests, earned him the nicknames "Air Jordan" and "His Airness". He also gained a reputation for being one of the best defensive players in basketball

Kobe Bean Bryant

He was selected with the 13th overall pick in the 1996 NBA Draft by the Charlotte Hornets, then traded to the Los Angeles Lakers. Bryant and then-teammate Shaquille O'Neal led the Lakers to three consecutive NBA championships from 2000 to 2002.

At just 18, he was selected with the number one pick in the 2003 NBA Draft by the Cavaliers and signed a US$90 million shoe contract with Nike before his professional debut. Listed as a small forward, James has set numerous youngest player records since joining the league

The focal point of the Cleveland offense, James has led the team to consecutive playoff appearances from 2006 through 2010. In 2007, the Cavaliers advanced to the Conference Finals

So now the point is not to make a move that says all they got him, but a power move that makes people say how did they do that. Then things wete

THEY ARE STILL OUR SLAVES

Financial Educators

Robert E. Lee, CFK
Klan University

THEY ARE STILL OUR SLAVES
We can continue to reap profits from the Blacks without the effort of physical slavery. Look at the current methods of containment that they use on themselves: IGNORANCE, GREED, and SELFISHNESS.

Their IGNORANCE is the primary weapon of containment. A great man once said, 'The best way to hide something from Black people is to put it in a book..' We now live in the Information Age .. They have gained the opportunity to read any book on any subject through the efforts of their fight for freedom , yet they refuse to read. There are numerous books readily available at Borders, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon.com, not to mention their own Black Bookstores that provide solid blueprints to reach economic equality (which should have been their fight all along), but few read consistently, if at all.

GREED is another powerful weapon of containment. Blacks, since the abolition of slavery, have had large amounts of money at their disposal. Last year they spent 10 billion dollars during Christmas, out of their 450 billion dollars in total yearly income (2.22%).

Any of us can use them as our target market, for any business venture we care to dream up, no matter how outlandish, they will buy into it. Being primarily a consumer people, they function totally by greed. They continually want more, with little thought for saving or investing.

They would rather buy some new sneaker than invest in starting a business. Some even neglect their children to have the latest Tommy or FUBU, And they still think that having a Mercedes, and a big house gives them 'Status' or that they have achieved their Dream.

They are fools! The vast majority of their people are still in poverty because their greed holds them back from collectively making better communities.

With the help of BET, and the rest of their black media that often broadcasts destructive images into their own homes, we will continue to see huge profits like those of Tommy and Nike. (Tommy Hilfiger has even jeered them, saying he doesn't want their money, and look at how the fools spend more with him than ever before!). They'll continue to show off to each other while we build solid communities with the profits from our businesses that we market to them.

SELFISHNESS, ingrained in their minds through slavery, is one of the major ways we can continue to contain them.
One of their own, Dubois said that there was an innate division in their culture. A 'Talented Tenth' he called it. He was correct in his deduction that there are segments of their culture that has achieved some 'form' of success.

However, that segment missed the fullness of his work. They didn't read that the 'Talented Tenth' was then responsible to aid The Non-Talented Ninety Percent in achieving a better life. Instead, that segment has created another class, a Buppie class that looks down on their people or aids them in a condescending manner. They will never achieve what we have.. Their selfishness does not allow them to be able to work together on any project or endeavor of substance. When they do get together, their selfishness lets their egos get in the way of their goal. Their so-called help organizations seem to only want to promote their name without making any real change in their community.

They are content to sit in conferences and conventions in our hotels, and talk about what they will do, while they award plaques to the best speakers, not to the best doers. Is there no end to their selfishness? They steadfastly refuse to see that T ogether E ach A chieves M ore (TEAM)..

They do not understand that they are no better than each other because of what they own, as a matter of fact, most of those Buppies are but one or two pay checks away from poverty. All of which is under the control of our pens in our offices and our rooms.

Yes, we will continue to contain them as long as they refuse to read, continue to buy anything they want, and keep thinking they are 'helping' their communities by paying dues to organizations which do little other than hold lavish conventions in our hotels. By the way, don't worry about any of them reading this letter, remember, 'THEY DON'T READ!!!!

(Prove them wrong. Please pass this on! After Reading )

Solid Rock is Crumbling

On occasion my family and I visit Solid Rock, this Sunday May 23, 2010 was more than we ever expected. It started out as a traditional Sunday, the choir sang, pass the collection plate , prayer, and then the introduction of the pastor.

It all exploded when Apostle Anderson took the microphone and proceeded to introduce the new chosen members of the church board. As Apostle Anderson began swearing the members in, all hell broke loose. When one of the associate Pastors from the pulpit starts yelling "this is not of god, this is not of god, stop what you are doing, and preach! " over and over again!

Everyone was shocked because it looked like a fight was going to break out from the outburst but Anderson kept on making his announcement while members looked in awe! While this disruption was going on a half the church walked out. Several members tried to regain order and approached the associate pastor and asked him to leave, but he was not having it!

This went on for 10 minutes when a male member of the church came and hugged the appostle as he was preaching. Several Ushers stepped up and removed the man from the pulpit. The Associate Pastor grabbed a microphone and started spilling the beans. That the church was in foreclosure and the only way that the bank would continue to help Solid Rock if Appostle Anderson only preached. and had nothing to do with the business. Appostle anderson began to preach that if this was his last time preaching that he would go out with a bang. Apostle Anderson stated that if you were with him stand with him good, and if not then they need to leave!

Apostle Anderson finished what he had to say dropped the microphone and left the stage like Chris Rock.

Apostle wife Tonya grabbed a microphone and started saying that evil was against her husband, and that "he was not himself". Through all the rants and raves nothing could prepare the congregation for Tonya calling three women out in church... I am not sure who they were or what they did, but when she called their names they jumped up and looked like they were ready to fight!

The last straw for me and the member sitting next to me when several members began yelling to come and pray, one lady looked at me and said " that's it," got up and left.

Now the Church's name is Solid Rock, as we get into the car and we are driving home we heard Ashford & Simpson- SOLID AS A ROCK, WOW!

Maybe there was a message in seeing the church fall on their knees, although as me and my family was leaving that church, we asked the question will Solid Rock be there next week?

I felt this was something that needed to be said, what was done in the dark appeared in the light... Faith in god is what will pull you out

The low down termination of Thaddeus Matthews Show

I think the way The Thaddeus Matthews Show was terminated by KWAM on April 30, 2010, was sneaky and quite underhanded that Legacy Media Memphis would breach his contract and act if they had a reason to do it... Since I started listening in January, Mathews had been stating that he had been paying $1250 per week for the last two years to broadcast his daily radio show. Matthews stated that his payments were made to George Bryant President of Legacy Media Memphis owners of KWAM.

I have my own opinion as to what happen on this subject and I think Matthews brash and no holds barred attitude rubbed many people the wrong way. This is what helped to contribute to the weekly rate increase to $3000 per week. The power move was suppose to make him fail, but instead of the struggle of making the payments Matthews listeners rallied behind him and began making donations to help. The number of commercials that he was airing increased as well!

I believe that what truly was the last straw for KWAM, when Ben Ferguson was released from WREC. The ideal that they could maintain an audience and still receive that added income from Ferguson was more than they could take. It was no secret that Thaddeus stated that he had acquired a radio station and that he was planning on leaving when his contract expired!

So KWAM said that you were going to quit any way in July, get your stuff and go now.

Now this angered Matthews considering that KWAM was not even on the map until his show started airing. He stated that the Arbitron ration showed that his show had beat every talk show during the 4-7 time slot including every thing on his KWAm including all national shows.

Matthews claimed that at the end of his show on Friday, Byrant returned to the station with a show termination letter and copies of his commercial spots in a envelope. The meeting if that's what it is to be called became very tense partly because he had a contract that ends in August and partly because Bryant took a check from Matthews on Thursday for $1000 from a new advertiser knowing that he planned to end the show the next day.

Matthew intends on suing KWAM because he has a contract and their reasoning does not hold water. Matthews said that he can now prove that KWAM and George Bryant conspired to breach his contract and this is why he is suing Bryant and Legacy for $500,000 in damages.
