AP also reports, "The four O.J. Simpson co-defendants who took plea deals and testified against the former football star were sentenced Tuesday by Clark County District Court Judge Jackie Glass."
Here are the charges to which they pleaded guilty, the sentences they faced and what they received:
- Michael McClinton, 50, of Las Vegas, pleaded guilty to felony robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery. Faced up to 11 years in prison. Sentenced to two to seven years, suspended; eight years of probation.

World AIDS Day 2008
December 1, 2008 marks the 20th Anniversary of World AIDS Day. The day was designed to bring attention to the global AIDS epidemic.According to the Harambee Newspaper, "Half a million African Americans have HIV." and although African Americans are "only 13 percent of the U.S. population, African Americans account for half of new HIV infections, according to a report by the Black Aids Institute."
"The AIDS epidemic for Africans in America is severe as some parts of the African continent," reports Harambee.
Last fall, The Black Hour producers Brother Reggie and Drea Mos, along with members of the Laney Black Student Union (BSU), organized free HIV/AIDS testing for about 150students.
A few weeks later, Get Screened Oakland, also held free testing.
This service did not happen this year. However, the epidemic is not over. The "State of Emergency" in Alameda County, has not ended. Therefore, we the people, need to work together to end this crisis. In all communities, but particularly in the Black/African global community.
So how can you best commemorate this World AIDS Day? Get Screened!
Here are some resources to help:
HIV Test
U.S. Gov-AIDS
Get Screened Oakland Testing Sites

National Black HIV/AIDS Day is February 7, 2009. For more information, please visit Black AIDS Day. If you would like to help us organize for Black AIDS Day in the Bay Area, please contact us at The Black Hour

TBH Report: MC Breed dies of kidney failure
Rapper MC Breed died Saturday from kidney failure. The Flint, Michigan emcee--whose birthname is Eric Breed--was just 36 years old. A benefit concert had been in the works to help with growing medical expenses.
Breed had been rushed to the emergency room back in September due to kidney failure, according to MTV News.
He was on life support for two days, but was recovering.
MC Breed is best remembered for his 1991 Hip Hop classic, "Ain't no Future in your Frontin'" and his collaboration with Tupac Shakur, "Gotta Get Mine."
Apparently he was in the process of releasing a new album.
While it is troubling that a star of his caliber was having difficulty with his medical expenses, it is unfortunate that he also was having issues paying child support.
Regardless, we honor him for the musical legacy he left and his contributions towards putting MidWest Hip Hop on the map. RIP MC Breed.

America is ready to have a president that represents all Americans. America is ready to have a President who knows what it is like to grow up in a single parent home on welfare.
America is ready to have a President who knows what it is like to go to live with grandparents when it is necessary for a better home environment. America is ready for a president who will reward employers who create and revive industries here in the United States and penalize those employers who are shipping industries to foreign countries robbing our country of jobs, taxes and the dignity of honest work.
Americans are ready for a President who will put “his money where his mouth is” and fund education initiatives that work to prepare Americans for “high and low tech jobs”. Americans are ready for a president who represents the proverbial “melting pot” that this country was supposed to become before the horrors of slavery by race and Jim Crow laws became the reality.
America is ready for Barack Obama to be President and I am so proud that he has chosen to identify himself to be Black.
The King of England didn’t voluntarily give the colonies their independence.
The southern states didn’t voluntarily give up their slaves.
The segregated schools didn’t voluntarily allow African Americans to enroll.
The citizens of American can’t wait for the bigots of this country to decide that it is the right time for a Black American is be President.
THE TIME IS NOW FOR BARACK OBAMA TO BECOME PRESIDENT AND REPRESENT ALL AMERICANS! AND BY THE WAY, HE IS BLACK.

Boondocks Season II - Review
What began as a cartoon strip in a student newspaper is now the most controversial cartoon on TV. Aaron McGruder’s The Boondocks is somewhere beyond South Park and Family Guy on steroids, viagra and a sack of purple.
The show consistently exposes the truth that “most Black people don’t talk about when they think white people are listening,” as Huey Freeman (voiced by Regina King) said in season one.
In the first season, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King–who was actually just in a coma, not assassinated–came back and in order to get the attention of his people he said, “The N-word.”After being kicked off with a satirical spoof of a fictional Soul Plane 2: The Black Jacking, showing the difficulty would-be terrorists would have hijacking the Black NWA airlines, season two presses the limits of dark comedy and even has an episode where a teacher calls Riley the N-word, based on a true story.
While seemingly out of touch with reality at times (for a cartoon), season two never strays far from the series greatest strength: truth.
Season two was also marred with controversy, but ironically not because of what was aired, but what wasn’t.
Two episodes were banned from TV in the U.S. but aired in Canada. Clips were constantly being uploaded to, and removed from, online video sites like youtube.com and dailymotion.com.
The first banned episode, Hunger Strike, Huey vows to go on a hunger strike until BET is taken off the air and all it’s top executives commit Japanese ritual suicide.” Mocking BET (which now stands for Black EVIL Television) top execs are depicted in an Austin Powers Dr. Evil fashion. Huey meets a Al Sharptonesque Reverend (Rollo Goodlove) who is more concerned with “shining”than Huey’s actual cause: Not far from the actual experience of many aspiring revolutionaries. The second banned episode shows Uncle Ruckus (that Black guy that hates Black folks) and his own reality TV show.
The show also pokes fun at the image of so-called gangsta rappers, with the return of Gangstalicious (Mos Def), who is on the down low. (Not the R. Kelly type either–as far as we know). Riley’s grandfather gets worried when he sees Riley wearing Gangstalicious’ new fashions (i.e. pink, sandles, capris and halter tops).
Not mention ‘licious’ new song, “Homies ova Hoes.” Complete with a DL4 snap beat and all. The Boondocks will make you laugh and think. The $40 price tag might make you think twice, but think of it as an investment for your critical thinking skills.

The Philosophy & Opinions of Marcus Garvey
By Amy Jacques-Garvey
The second wife of Marcus Garvey, Amy Jacques-Garvey compiled this book, revealing the true mindset of one of the greatest Black leaders of the 20th century. By presenting Garvey's actual letters, speeches and writings, we can read HIS OWN WORDS, instead of another author's interpretation. The book also explains the actions of those who conspired to thwart Garvey's efforts (many of whom he actually mentions by name) and the conditions that brought about his eventual deportation. The book was very useful in showing Garvey's true feelings regarding the NAACP and W.E.B. DuBois, as well as his views on racism, Pan-Africanism, and how people of all races can co-exist in peace.

Nearby on the second stage on top of a large flatbed truck, the organic sounds of oHairdoo could be heard.

ASLC candidates forum unorganized
The Associated Students of Laney College (ASLC) candidates' forum on Tuesday, April 8 was "disappointingly brief, considering the length of time of an officer's term and amount of influence a position in office wields," the Laney Tower reports.
The forum, which start an half hour late, "initially set up as an hour-long, open-air forum where ASLC hopefuls could introduce themselves, voice their reasons for running and impart their plans if elected, the event turned into a thirty-minute mix of hip-hop beats and languid bunkum."
ASLC President Yvonne Thompson announced herself as the only candidate running for the position of Student Trustee. According to records, a BCC student named Nicole Tobor has also qualified for the ballot.
The only other candidates in attendance were ASLC Secretary candidate Courtney Hom, senator candidate Valeska Hildalgo and presidential candidate Reza Mohajerinejad.
Elections will take place May 6 and 7 in the Laney College Student Center from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Read the complete article on LaneyTower.com.
