Lester Chambers attacked on stage after dedicating the set to Trevon Lester Chambers is of course, one of the grandfathers of funk/rap/rock etc. as a member of the Chambers Brothers. In 1972, the first arena concert that I went to, featured them, Alice Cooper, and some new kids no one had ever heard of called Blue Oyster somethingorother. Recently it came out that the record companies hadn't paid Lester for the decades of music that he had created and performed (as was the case with so many black artists). I helped out in the tiniest of ways for the new CD from which he *will* get paid enough to (hopefully) keep a roof over his head. As a result I get updates and such occasionally. I just got the one above about him being attacked over the Martin/Zimmerman media hype. If anyone wonders why I waste *any* of my time arguing with the smirking bigots on the internet who play Racism 2.0 like it was World of Warcraft, it is because of this. Every time they 'score points' and 'win' by lying about facts, using sock puppets, playing sleazy denier tricks and using projection to blame the victims of racism for being racists, they feed the neo racism meme being pumped out at StormFront. It's a great big giggle for them, it's another pebble in the bucket of taking action to someone else who feels emboldened by them. So elderly back men are put in the hospital... and the media makes another billion 'wondering' if a brown skinned man should have a fair trial or not. That's why I call BS on racism when I see it, and repeatedly post links to facts that I already know are going to be ignored and denied... So if the 3 sisters, and their crew (including some mods) here are proud of themselves today, ask yourselves exactly what they've got to be proud of.
