Some Say Black Lesbian's Killing Ignored

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - The night Sakia Gunn was
killed, she and her friends had been hanging out in
New York City's Greenwich Village, where the
young, black lesbians knew they could find
acceptance in the popular haven for gays.

Their train ride home to Newark that night was all
of 30 minutes, but residents in their working-class
neighborhoods say in some ways, the two places
are worlds away.

While waiting for their bus connection in Newark,
the teenagers were approached by a man who
tried to pick up some of the girls when Sakia, 15,
and the others told him they were lesbians.
Witnesses said the man grabbed Sakia, and when
she broke loose, he lunged and stabbed her in the
chest.

``I'm holding her, and her head is in my hand, and
I'm saying you gotta breathe, you gotta breathe,''
said friend Valencia Bailey. ``And she takes a
breath, and then she looks at me, and turns her
head. And then her eyes roll back, and her head
goes heavy in my hand, and her body just goes
limp.''

1. What a tragic story

Certainly seems to me to be at least as big as the Shepard case.

2. I would agree. So many people/groups failing

on this one. Right down to the school principal:
Several West Side students asked the principal, Fernand Williams, for a moment of silence. The students say Williams refused. Michelle Baldwin, a spokeswoman for the school district, said she referred a request for interviews to Williams and other school officials, who did not respond.

Let's pretend it didn't happen - seems to be the message. Or is it let's pretend she didn't exist? That makes me terribly sad.

3. More Surprises

Why would it concern the current powers with all this feminist lesbian nazi bullshit? How many strikes is that against her? Let's see.

A woman
An Afr. Am.
A Lesbian

by association a Feminist which according to some makes her a nazi too.

Oh sure lets go after black feminist lesbian nazi's (or ignore murders of them as why would they account for life on this planet). It pulls focus from what might be the underlying agenda in the Bush WH, that we are for the most part discouraged from discussing with any real concise focus on the matter.

Mighty fickled shit!
