Why? Because of the false stereotyping and ironies relating to racism or prejudices in America....and I'm impulsive...responding to another's writing that triggered my memories.


TRUTH can heal....by Exposing the LIES

Julius Peppers- now there's a story....he's a trip. What is my connection? Well, Mr.Vynckier's poem on judges and "justice" brought it back up out of memory. I don't like to reveal this but it is on public record and I'll make it brief. I have experienced in my own family the broken, corrupted, biased and tainted justice system as it exists today in America. I know because my youngest spent some time in prison about the same time Julius' dad got busted for cocaine. To put it bluntly, my white boy son received harsher punishment for a lesser crime and Pepper's father got off easy-- very easy considering his crimes. We got some satisfaction- we paid Robbie's bond in pennies. Ha ha ha

This is Julius Peppers

[ *My least favorite sport is American "football", not to be confused with Americans "soccer".

And this is his dad, who also just happed to be a Nash County Deputy, jailer and bailiff.

Julius Peppers was never implicated or in trouble, but his father, George Thomas Kurney, was arrested on cocaine charges. Additionally, Kurney did not serve time in a Rocky Mount jail, as he was booked into the Wilson County Jail.The details of the incident include:The Arrest: In June 2011, George Thomas Kurney was arrested following a joint state and local investigation and charged with felony possession of cocaine. At the time, Julius Peppers was playing for the Chicago Bears.His Job: Kurney was a Nash County sheriff's deputy (serving as a chief bailiff) and had been with the department for 10 years. He was immediately dismissed from his law enforcement position upon his arrest.The Jail: While the Rocky Mount Telegram initially reported on the story (as Rocky Mount sits in Nash and Edgecombe counties), Kurney was processed at the Wilson County Jail in nearby Wilson, NC. He did not serve significant jail time, as he was released about an hour after his booking on a $1,000 bond.


As for Julius Peppers- he stayed out of serious trouble during his career, except for a single four-game suspension during his rookie season in 2002.The 2002 SuspensionIn November 2002, the NFL suspended Peppers for four games.He violated the league's substance-abuse policy.He tested positive for ephedrine or ephedra.The stimulant came from an over-the-counter dietary supplement.Reports highlighted by the Midland Daily News confirmed he did not use steroids, and coaches noted he made a naive mistake with the supplement.Rest of His CareerPeppers had no other major legal or disciplinary issues.He played 17 clean and very durable seasons in the NFL.


This is why I despise the American Democratic Party. They have opened a Pandora Box from hell....as the rest of the globe is falling too. That is why a racist in any color makes me sick-- especially those that like to play "the race card". I don't see colors, I see hearts. But our system and the propaganda would convince a clueless world otherwise. The country drops the justice hammer on whites and justice is not equally applied, if at all-- tgey are responsible for this situation that releases serious criminals back to the streets. MY GOD-- the current atrocity they are backing, is the woman who recently plotted and murdered her 3 young children. There are no excuses for her. But the worst effects are from being super soft on crimes committed by blacks....it leads to death and a precarious society where a beautiful sweet young girl like Irena is murdered unprovoked. Our nation was once upon a time not like this and it is horrific the consequences. Iryna Zarutska, a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee, was fatally stabbed in an unprovoked attack aboard a Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) light rail train on August 22, 2025.

This disgust me as well.
We are both of the same mind.
If you stop and look at different people in the street,
There are a myriad off different shades,
It should never matter about the persons skin,
Only the person within. No matter where you live.
As for our once great nation......
After publishing pamphlets advising immigrants
Not to rape, beat, women and children there now
Giving them free condoms!! And there was me thinking
That they would get deported after a jail sentence.
I'll publish my poem on this tomorrow.
Huge hugs for this. Regards Alan
