Regression to the Mean? New Denny's Brawl Participants finally Integrate

Remember this Halloween Denny's Brawl from Oakland, involving costumed Black participants? Well, a new brawl at an unidentified Denny's has hit the Internet. Finally, integration has come to crazy YouTube videos that showcase prole behavior for the masses to see. Notice the white girl throwing chairs, forks, salt shakers, and anything she can grab.

Notice that she appears to be the only white girl in the group of primarily Black people enjoying a midnight meal at Denny's.

Regression to the mean, much?

Remember: nothing good ever happens when you are out after midnight.

The first video is the recent integrated (well, one white girl) brawl at Denny's. The second video is the 2010 Halloween Black brawl in Oakland... at Denny's.

Request: Video from Seminole County- Daleville (Ala.) Football Game Brawl

A massive, bench-clearing brawl took place during the Seminole County (Georgia) and Daleville High School (Alabama) football game. Following similar patterns of athletic brawls at the high school and collegiate level nationwide, SBPDL believes this brawl deserves recognition at this Web site.

Based on demographics from both schools and YouTube evidence of the 2009 Daleville football team, it is obvious both teams are over 80 percent Black (maybe closer to 90 percent). What causes this agitation among Black participants in sports?:

Seminole lost to Daleville, Ala., 28-13, Friday night in a game-that was shortened because of a major fight in the third quarter.
According to Seminole coach Alan Ingram, with 3:34 left in the frame, after a bad snap by the Indians (3-2), a Daleville player picked up the ball and began to run with it before a Seminole player tackled him. One thing led to another, and the benches started to clear after a Daleville player hit a Seminole player in the back.

“The crazy things is that neither team (was agitated) up to that point,” Ingram said. “It just kind of exploded.”
The referees called the game after some of the skirmish spread to the stands.

“We’ll just have to send the tape to (GHSA) and see what they decide,” Ingram said. “The rules clearly state that if you get off the bench, you sit out the following game.”

Daleville gets the victory after jumping out to a 21-7 lead at halftime .

“They had a very good football team, nothing like the score indicates,” Ingram said. “We didn’t play (well) and it just means we have to go back and regroup and find out why we weren’t ready to play.”

The Indians will definitely have a lot to think about before they face Mitchell County next week.

“I’m just glad we got out of it with nobody getting hurt,” Ingram said. “We’re just disappointed and we let ourselves down and didn’t perform.”
Seminole County had all but nine of its players suspended for this brawl. Video evidence of this brawl has yet to surface on the internet, so we come to readers with a simple request: help us find it so we can ensure it receives the proper amount of coverage the story deserves.

Putting together a book (10-10-10 is the release of SBPDL: Year One), a new Web site (to counter-act Google) and the impending release of the YouTube SBPDL Channel is laborious work. Help us out by trying to find video evidence of the brawl.

So many stories transpire that deserve to be written about, but due to time constraints are left on the cutting floor. In virtual back-to-back days, separate incidents involving 90+ year-old individuals occurred that should send chills down your spine.

One in Philadelphia; the other in Atlanta. People are falling and no one is there to help them up.

SBPDL has been accused of a lot of stuff since this Web site became operative roughly a year and a four months ago.  Regardless of what is stated, we merely search for honesty in a land where it is glaring back at us with a haughty smirk, knowing full well that hiding in plain sight guarantees acceptance.

We don't accept things the way they are; neither should you.

Help us find the video of the brawl. We know the cameras were rolling.

Because remember, without the positive images that sports help manipulate, craft and portray of Black people, Black Run America (BRA) crumbles to the ground and all that is left is pent-up aggression for the past. 

The fate of billions might not depend upon us finding and securing a copy of this brawl, but... it just might.

What did we say about School Discipline? A Quick Glance at LeFlore High School in Mobile, Alabama

What was it we wrote about school discipline about four months ago? In a nutshell: it's not something Black people particularly enjoy, because it's Black people who wear the proverbial dunce, truant and juvenile delinquent hat at a rate that far exceeds that of any other racial group:
by Sam Dillon
New York Times

In many of the nation’s middle schools, black boys were nearly three times as likely to be suspended as white boys, according to a new study, which also found that black girls were suspended at four times the rate of white girls.

School authorities also suspended Hispanic and American Indian middle school students at higher rates than white students, though not at such disproportionate rates as for black children, the study found. Asian students were less likely to be suspended than whites.

The study analyzed four decades of federal Department of Education data on suspensions, with a special focus on figures from 2002 and 2006, that were drawn from 9,220 of the nation’s 16,000 public middle schools.

The study, “Suspended Education: Urban Middle Schools in Crisis,” was published by the Southern Poverty Law Center, a nonprofit civil rights organization.
School discipline is an issue that is sadly absent from LeFlore High School in Mobile, Alabama. Boasting a student body that is 99 percent Black, LeFlore was recently the location of a massive back-to-school brawl:
Three juveniles were taken to Strickland Youth Center this afternoon after what police described as a large fight outside LeFlore High School, spokesman Officer Christopher Levy said.

The juveniles were charged with disorderly conduct, Levy said. A girl was treated on the scene for a minor injury suffered during the fight, which Levy said involved both boys and girls. 


An officer directing traffic about 3 p.m. as school was letting out saw the fight start, and called for additional officers to break up the brawl, according to Levy. 

It was not immediately known how many people were involved in the fight and if any disciplinary action would be taken against any students. An attempt to reach Mobile County public school officials tonight was unsuccessful.
LeFlore High School might not be able to contain brawls - though 70 percent of the students do get free lunches - but the school administration had time to pitch a story about an unsually dressed student to the Mobile Press-Register last April:
Seventeen-year-old LiDarryl Clarke and his four younger brothers climb into their mother's blue Cadillac every weekday about 6 a.m., heading to three different schools.

LiDarryl gets out at LeFlore High in the Toulminville area, passing a small sea of students in polo shirts of orange or white, sweatshirts and khakis. 


But LiDarryl doesn't wear a uniform. A junior, he dresses every day in what many would consider their Sunday best.

One recent morning, that meant a navy blazer and an orange-and-yellow striped tie.

"I like to be different, to pop out a little more," LiDarryl said. "I come dressed up so people know that I'm here."

An A-B student who's just a junior, he received special permission to dress that the way he does.

Some days, he arrives in a full suit. At the very least, he wears a dress shirt and one of his 30 ties. Sometimes in the winter, he sports a sweater and matching tie. He's just recently learned to tie a bowtie, so he has added several of those to his repertoire.

Guys joke with him, telling him he looks like the principal.

Girls smile flirtatiously and wave.

Teachers love him.

"They tell me I look so nice today, so handsome, so spiffy," LiDarryl said. "Dapper -- that's another word I get."

LiDarryl knows teenagers from his neighborhood off Moffett Road and in Toulminville who got caught up in gangs, drugs and other troubles. He said he wants to stand above that.

LiDarryl, who doesn't get to see his dad very often, wants to be someone whom his brothers can look up to.

He admires his mom, Quiana Clarke, who taught him to be respectful and even how to play football. She goes to work at 3 a.m. as a hospital phlebotomist, taking a break to fetch her boys for school.

"I can't see how she does it. She works hard every day and she deals with five young men who are at each other's necks every day," LiDarryl said. "We love her. She knows how to handle every situation. She always knows what to say. Sometimes we don't want to listen to her, but we know she's always right."

LiDarryl recently won a writing contest for his essay "A Leader in my Community."

"I am frequently told by my fellow peers and scholars that I am not like most males that attend school," he wrote.

"Teenagers that are trapped in situations such as crimes and violence are the ones I aim to affect," he continued. "The only way I can do that is by being a leader in my community."

LiDarryl first started dressing up his sophomore year, one day a week, as a member of the Elite Order of the Kappa League, a mentoring group sponsored by the Kappa Alpha Psi social fraternity.

He enjoyed the compliments, so he started dressing up every day.

He has several striped ties, some solid ties, a polka dot tie, even a Mickey Mouse tie. But he still likes it when his mom takes him to J.C. Penney's to pick out a new one.

LiDarryl said he can't afford to go to the LeFlore prom this year. Instead, he spent his money this spring break on a field trip with the Kappa League to tour colleges in Texas and Louisiana.

Many days, LiDarryl is at school until 6 p.m., practicing football -- he hopes to start for the Rattlers next year -- or doing something with the Army ROTC. Sometimes, he's at the Kappa house practicing a step routine. He cleans the kitchen at home most every night.

He's interested in a career in sports medicine.

"I would love to have more LiDarryls," said history teacher Bonita Ross English. "We see something different in him. He's the boy who wears a tie, who always looks good."
 
Sigh. At a school that has had three principals in four years, any news is considered good news even it requires a student to Act White to find it. At least students who attend LeFlore have a chance to graduate from high school thanks to the Drop Back in Academy program for students who have until they reach the age of 21 to still legally complete the required courses to attain a diploma.

It's safe to say that LiDarryl won't be in that program. Thankfully college football programs are able to rescue talented athletes from the LeFlore school and bring them to the safety of traditionally white campuses. These recruits are slobbered over by alumni of major schools to the tune of millions a year in subscription fees to Web sites such as Rivals.com and Scout.com.

For these reasons, we at SBPDL have decreed college football to be the ultimate opiate in America. Without sports, what type of stories would originate from LeFlore High School? Brawls? Black students dressing white like LiDarryl, instead of refusing to wear belts?

When prospective college athletes are recruited primarily from institutions such as LeFlore, is it any wonder that disciplinary problems follow them to traditionally white colleges?

We will say it again: the South must be abandoned.  Though some Black people believe gold can be found in Mobile thanks to a beguiling Leprechaun, all you'll find there are the peers of Kyser Miree's killers.

And failing schools... no amount of early intervention can stop this from occurring.

Brawl in Miami Mall: It Makes Sense When you Wear Black Goggles


Think of the world as it appears when you’re intoxicated. A heightened sense of invincibility overtakes your normal emotions and demeanor, superseding rationality and civility. You slur your speech in an almost unintelligible dialect, with all inhibitions vanishing as your voice becomes louder and increasingly obnoxious; you think every joke you tell is incredibly funny, while conversely, any insult hurled your way is grounds for violence and retaliation; you approach every woman in sight and proceed to make an advance on her, instinctively knowing all females are completely into you, even if you’re spurned; and best of all your testosterone levels are off the charts, loosening your tongue because you’re the baddest man on the planet and no one at the bar can touch you if a fight broke --you’d break’em in half.

The consequences of your actions while inebriated matter not, because the law is immaterial to you. Concepts of privacy, property rights and decorum governing socially acceptable behavior are alien to you, and vaguely offensive.

In this state you represent the epitome of a belligerent individual, completely devoid of decency and incapable of logical actions all because of the ravages alcohol induces upon the mind.

This thought experiment allowed you a window into the mind of the typical Black male, before the provocations alcohol provides upon the normal mental functions for other racial groups.

Whether it is 70 people rioting in a Washington DC Metro Station: hundreds rioting at a Mall in late December 2009 in Connecticut; Flash mobs in Philadelphia; Kansas City’s downtown shopping complex being overrun in violence; Indianapolis problems; Tulsa’s famous Chicken Hut under siege by hungry customers unconcerned with the immaterial dying body impeding their path to fowl glory; nightclub violence and block parties collapsing into chaos; a Hurricane named Katrina; or, a brawl at a Miami mall involving more than a score of people, the common denominator linking all events is the racial makeup of the participants.

All were Black and all of these events transpired within the last year (or just celebrated birthday number five!), with the brawl in Miami happening right before Katrina’s fifth birthday:

Police and management at Aventura Mall plan to meet next week to discuss the melee at the mall that left about a dozen young people arrested and several police officers receiving minor injuries.

The melee erupted around 10 p.m. Saturday when mostly teenagers descended on the mall for the opening of two popular movies at the AMC 24 Theaters, Lottery Ticket and Takers.

It ended with the arrest of 12 minors, all between the ages of 14 and 17, according to Aventura police.

Dozens of police officers from other departments rushed to help, including North Miami Beach, Golden Beach, Sunny Isles Beach and Miami-Dade.

Officers used Taser guns on several suspects. No one was seriously hurt in the fight or the rush to the exits, though some officers received minor injuries while trying to make arrests, said Aventura police spokesman Chris Goranitis.

At least three suspects were arrested on felony charges -- battery on a police officer and resisting arrest with violence.

Most of the minors were released to their parents. Those charged with felonies were taken to a Juvenile Assessment Center.

The scene was chaotic: As the fighting spread, several hundred people, many of them screaming, fled the theater at once, running from the concession stand area and knocking over the rope barriers by the exits.

Police directed the crowd outside the theater to exit the building, but initially did not let anyone leave the area by the parking lot outside the mall.

While police have not said what caused the fight, WPLG Channel 10 interviewed witnesses who said that it may have been sparked by two rival high school groups.

A group of noisy teens had gathered to buy tickets to two movies opening Saturday. The line leading to the AMC 24 Theaters stretched from the box office to the nearby mall entrance. A fight soon broke out between two youths near the box office, spiraling quickly into a mass brawl that spread to the theater, across the mall and to the parking lots.

Luis Chiu, 17, a 12-grader at North Miami Senior High said a fight erupted during the movie Lottery Ticket and mall security evacuated an entire aisle of the theater.

``Then the fight continued outside, so the cops took over. It wasn't pretty,'' he said.

Niouseline St. Jean, 19, of Miami, was part of the crowd that was kept outside the mall, near the Cheesecake Factory, for about 30 minutes. ``All these middle and high school kids were fighting,'' she wrote at the time in a text message. ``Everything is on lockdown.''

This is not the first time crowd control has gotten out of hand at the AMC in the Aventura Mall.

In January 2005, an off-duty Aventura officer, trying to remove a group of kids he said were causing trouble, said he was jumped by other teens. By the time it was over, police had used Taser stun guns against four youths.

Nine juveniles and two adults were arrested.

Aventura already had a robust police and security presence at the mall.

``Aventura Mall has a comprehensive security program in place, which includes off-duty Aventura Police Department officers and a sophisticated CCTV system,'' Aventura Mall general manager Oscar Pacheco said in a statement. ``We will continue working with the police and AMC Theaters regarding the incident.''

Aventura police maintains a nine-officer unit on the property, mostly funded by Turnberry Associates, the company that runs the mall.

On Sunday, the Aventura Mall was crowded as usual, though some said they were worried about security near the theater. ``Security is an issue there and it's going to drive people away,'' said Amy Scharf, 37, of Aventura.

Seth Kaplan, 42, also from Aventura, agreed.

``I usually avoid the mall at nights,'' he said. ``I do think that these fighting issues are going to cause other people to stop going to the movies, but I was already concerned before this. The movies are dangerous in the evening.''

Other frequent mall shoppers were not as concerned. ``I'm still going to go to Aventura Mall,'' said Lauren Ovadia, 17, of Davie. ``There is going to be fights everywhere. Things happen.''

Mauricio Diocis, 20, of Aventura, said that while he was concerned about the incident, he still thinks the mall is best option in the area. ``When I heard about the fights it was really surprising, because Aventura is such a nice place,'' he said.

When you think of the world as it appears when you are inebriated, you’re granted a window, access to the world as it appears to Black people. It has been said that drinking gives one “beer goggles” – those imaginary, yet tragic frames that magically makes all girls beautiful and desirable.

In reality, drinking alcohol to the point of intoxication gives one “Black goggles” because you will immediately be granted insight into the Black mind and an opportunity to “act a fool” engaging in behavior commonly associated with normal Black behavior.

Which leads us to a teaser of an upcoming entry at SBPDL: curfews.

As the nation becomes increasingly non-white, it will become imperative for cities and towns to institute curfews (potentially state-mandated curfews) to maintain order and provide safety for civilians.

Curfews, brawls at Miami malls, Act a fool and Black people: just put on those “Black goggles” via drinking insane amounts of booze and you’ll enter the mind of Black person.

It all makes sense when you understand that simple fact.
