TV journalist Demetria Obilor was a recent victim of online harassment

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) is appalled at the insensitive and hateful social media posts recently leveled toward traffic reporter Demetria Obilor of WFAA-TV in Dallas. While many have shared messages of support, Obilor has been the target of negative social media posts that criticize her hair, looks and attire.

One viewer, expressing her displeasure, even called for a boycott of the station.

"The negative comments lodged at Demetria Obilor are very disturbing. The rhetoric is classic cyberbullying and the undertones are hurtful and demeanSarah Glover, NABJ ing," said NABJ President Sarah Glover.

"We hope that employers abhor this kind of harassment and online hate when they see it, support their employees, and cultivate diversity and inclusiveness."

Obilor, a graduate of the University of Kansas with a degree in broadcast journalism, just started a new job in Texas.

One viewer, named Jan Shedd, ridiculed Obilor on social media and many came to Obilor's defense in subsequent posts.

Shedd's posts are no longer public.

NABJ is disturbed by the cyber harassment that is occurring and hopes that media executives will not be swayed by these various forms of abuse.

Calling attention to the work of NABJ member Michelle Ferrier Ph.D. and TrollBusters, Glover said women are frequently the target of people who seek to embarrass and sometimes cause emotional or bodily harm. Through TrollBusters,

“The rhetoric is classic cyberbullying and the undertones are hurtful and demeaning," said NABJ President Sarah Glover. "We hope that employers abhor this kind of harassment and online hate when they see it, support their employees, and cultivate diversity and inclusiveness."

in speaking out in support of journalists.

Just last week, Ferrier spoke of online harassment faced by women journalists at the United Nations.

"According to the International Women's Media Foundation and the International News Safety Institute, 88 percent of journalists worldwide feel their work is more dangerous now because of the use of social media to connect with audiences, and distribute news and information around the globe," said Ferrier. "These same social media channels

are used to stalk, discredit and threaten women journalists.... In some cases, this online harassment crosses professional boundaries and affects the personal lives of these women."

Glover says there are ways to deal with cyberbullies, and supporting the victim is the first step.

"This is an issue for all women and we encourage others to speak up and say 'no more cyberbullying,'" Glover said. "Demetria has our support and we stand with CYBER BULLYING, continued on page 11

NOVEMBER 10, 2017 I Messenger Spotlight on Robert H. Young

United States Marine, Ret.

By Dr. J. Ester Davis

Robert H. Young grew up in Magnolia, Arkansas, learning all about antiques and how to cook from the best antique dealer and chef in Magnolia, his father.

Mr. Young attended and graduated from Columbia High School in 1966, joined the Marines and was off to Vietnam in 1967.

In 1968 Mr. Young was wounded in Vietnam and received numerous surgeries on his leg.

After months of hospitals, he was told he would walk with a limp, but he proved the doctors wrong.

Mr. Young married Pearl, his high school sweetheart and next year, 2018 they will celebrate 50 years of marriage.

They have two children and

6

two grandchildren. Next to his family and his love for the Marine Corp, Mr. Young is a member of and has volunteered as VFM Post 1406 Quartermaster for 30 years. It is a tough job and no one else wants it.

As All State Quartermaster for two years, our spotlight honoree has volunteered as Chairperson for VFM District 3 Homeless Program and was later elected unanimously as Vice President of Homeless Veterans Services of Dallas.

Mr. Young is a proud Dallas Fireman of 25 years but is known by all firemen for his

kindness and most importantly his “signature fried chicken” which he still is asked to cook at some of the stations.

As a Vietnam Veteran, Robert Young has received numerous awards and medals. He attends yearly the “Marines Vietnam Reunions” in Washington, DC, Virginia, California, Las Vegas and San Antonio.

These moments grow more precious every year.

All veterans have a distinctive bond.

Veterans show love and deep respect for each other because they remember how they had to depend on each other being away from home and having to survive during the war.

As a humble servant, Mr. Young, goes beyond the Call of Duty volunteering in his community. He serves as a Deacon at his church and has no qualms with the everyday necessary chores for his fellow man. For 10 years, he volunteered his summers feeding children free lunches during the Summer Lunch Program. What did Mr. Young do with his knowledge of antiques, you ask? With his management degree he found time to run a successful antique business for more than 20 years.

Our special thanks to SMSGT Kennard Bowen (Retired), President, AFSA Chapter 1073, for the bio.

“Honoring Those Who Served” continues for the entire month of November.

Thanks in advance for your help and submissions.

Following the 2017 NABJ Convention in New Orleans, a group of NABJ female members started a Facebook Group, the NABJ Black Women's Media Project, to support one another after a convention-related discussion of sexual harassment. The group, led by member Sherri Williams Ph.D., will be proposing programming around these issues.

NABJ Founder Joe Davidson spoke out against abuse women face at the 2017 fall NABJ board of directors meeting. He expressed that men need to speak up and out as well. President Glover has pledged NABJ will create a specific policy on harassment and she offers NABJ's support to journalists and media professionals who experience harassment, abuse and cyberbullying.

Already in the Dallas area, the support for Demetria has been overwhelming, according to Cheryl Smith, current president of the

Dallas-Fort Worth Association of Black Journalists.

"I have received calls about Demetria and folks are very upset.

She is a talented journalist and we celebrate her hiring. She is a welcomed addition to this market and we applaud WFAA for standing behind her because the cyber attacks are reprehensible." ***** In an appearance on Radio Therapy Network with host Terance Jackson, Ms. Shedd took issue with atttire of women in television.

The Signifying Monkey!

QUIT PLAYIN’

By Vincent L. Hall

Way down in the jungle deep, the badass lion stepped on the signifying monkey’s feet. The monkey said, “Lion can’t you see? Why, you standing on my feet.” The lion said, “I ain’t heard a word you said but if you say three more I’ll be steppin’ on your head!” – Rudy Ray Moore – The Signifying Monkey (Clean Version) Now for those of you who are old enough to recall, Rudy Ray Moore made a name for himself by signifying, rhyming and cussing.

His ability to verbally castigate in cadence while spitting spite was unparalleled.

The “Signifying Monkey” is a Black cultural classic that most of us heard after raiding our parents stash.

Rudy’s legacy is being challenged these days by America’s Commander in Chief who also has a tendency to say things in public that are better left in private. Republican standard bearer, Donald J. Trump could be as funny as Rudy Ray Moore if he were on the comedy stage circuit. But Trump’s candor and crass doesn’t play well as the chief advocate for the GOP platform, much less as “leader of the free world.”

Go back and Google Rudy Ray Moore’s “Shine and the Titanic” and

12

other works before the “Signifying Monkey.” Rudy Moore was paid to insult folks, but he ain’t got nothing on Donald Trump.

Trump has discredited the Pope, John McCain, two Gold Star families (both minorities) his road dog Jefferson Beauregard Sessions, a long list of Democrats and a sizable number of Republicans. This dude has insulted so many people until I want to see his birth certificate. He hasn’t played the dozens

face.

Then there was Bette Midler, and Rosie O’Donnell and Katy Tur. He openly and cruelly disrespected the wife of Texas Senator Ted Cruz. It’s still hard to watch Cruz after letting himself be emasculated by Trump who threw shade on his woman and his daddy. If Trump lived in my hood he would have gotten a real good ass whipping for that one.

But more notable than the women that Trump picks on are the women that he does his best to avoid. He has an oral fixation for Hilary Clinton, but he doesn’t venture toward Michelle Obama. Rhodes Scholar and MSNBC talk show host Rachel Maddow has done him more harm than anyone and he never mentions her name. Her daily revelations are now the leading evidence against Trump and his “swampish” cartel.

If he would ever hold one of his rallies in the hood, rather than the Whitest suburbs and rural hubs in the country, he could be cured.

Urbanites would teach him that signifying and trash talking leads to certain downfall. Rudy Ray Moore ended the Signifying Monkey with a foretelling of Trump’s ultimate demise.

“The monkey looked to the sky, with tears in his eyes. Nothin he could see or nothin he could hear. But he knew that it was the end of his Bullsh!tting and signifying career!”

yet, but as my daddy would say, he’s right there at 11-1/2.

You might as well say that Trump plays the dozen, because he regularly insults women and some of them are mothers. He didn’t spare the rod with former Fox News anchor and “Bloody eyed” analyst Megan Kelly. He lashed out at a breastfeeding mother as disgusting and basically warned anyone against looking at former GOP PresiVincent L.

Me, You, Perfection, Uh Not!

Spiritually Speaking

by James A. Washington

They say no one can ever lead a perfect life. Flaws, faults and mistakes are the unavoidable consequences of being human. God lets us know through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ that how we handle our imperfections is about as important as acknowledging that we do indeed have them.

Allow me to call upon spiritual insight for a moment and declare that humility is an essential ingredient of any Christian’s makeup, or at least it should be given our understanding of personal imperfection.

A humble person would never look down upon, or somehow rationalize the thought that he or she is better than someone else.

The reason, I imagine, must be their personal recognition of that old saying, “there but for the grace of God, go I.” Throughout the bible there are countless references to living a life devoid of ego and pride.

As a matter of fact according to Paul, humility is a prerequisite for the presence of the Holy Spirit.

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love,

joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control…Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.” Galatians 5:22-26.

Now I don’t know about you, but conditioning yourself to live humbly is pretty difficult, particularly nowadays.

We live in a world that measures the substance of a person by the accumulation of money, things, position and status, even if we think it’s unwarranted.

To obtain a humble state of mind as a matter of course can seem impossible, but in order to live according to the word of God, it is mandatory.

To obtain a humble state of mind as a matter of course can seem impossible, but in order to live according to the word of God, it is mandatory.

“For whoever exalted himself will be humbled and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”

Matthew 23:12.

I believe this is serious stuff and can only be comprehended, let alone adhered to, if one can look deep inside oneself and see the personal character flaws that each of us has.

You see I think this is the reason Christ said “He who is without sin

WWW.MYIMESSENGER.COM

cast the first stone.”

The real meaning behind this is once you do it, then real forgiveness must follow.

Who would dare be arrogant enough not to humble himself in the eyes of God by not forgiving his fellow man’s transgressions?

That brings me to the role of the church in this regard. If there was ever a place where the concept of forgiveness is guaranteed, it’s the church.

You see the church is not a perfect place either.

The key to all of this is what happens after you fall, after you sin, after you back slide.

Remember falling and failing is inevitable. Getting up is not. As long as you ask the Holy Spirit for a helping hand, I’m told all can be forgiven. You see I’ve got to believe God is a God of another chance because I’ve blown so many chances myself. I’ve ruined so many opportunities and yet so many blessings still come my way.

Hell, I woke up this morning!

The least I can do is to show up in church on Sunday to let others know this is a place to come and bring an imperfect life in search of the perfect truth.

Flaws and all, God loves me and every now and then that’s something I need to be reminded of.

Church is probably the best and only place where that can happen.

The challenge is to remember you can never feel comfortable about casting that first stone. May God bless and keep you always.

Taking siblings to court over property

Ask Alma:

Alma Gill’s newsroom experience spans more than 25 years, including various roles at USA Today, Newsday and the Washington Post. Email questions to: alwaysaskalma@gmail.com.

Follow her on Facebook at “Ask Alma” and Twitter @almaaskalma.

Dear Alma, I need advice about a terrible family situation that involves me and all of my siblings, and it’s breaking us apart. I am one of nine children. We were all born and raised in the South. My parents farmed their land and taught us how to do it, too.

We never liked it and couldn’t wait to leave, go up North and go to college. We all attended various colleges and universities and never returned home… all but one of my brothers. He stayed in North Carolina and helped my parents until they died. After they died he moved into the house on the property and has been living there ever since. He has kept up the property and paid the taxes on it.

Now, my brothers and sisters want to sell the farmland and split the money. My brother who stayed says the house should be his and he doesn’t want to sell it. We are totally divided. Six of my sib-

lings have decided to take my brother to court and force him to sell the land. He says we shouldn’t sell, and I don’t care either way. We’re all in our 60s, distinguished folks with profitable careers. We’re active in our respective churches and ready to retire if not already retired. I love my family, and if you met us, you’d never believe what’s going on behind closed doors. I don’t understand why we can’t talk to each other and just get along.

I want us to settle this before one of us dies and we never get to resolve the issue. What can I do?

Divided Family Dear Divided Family,

First things first: Close your eyes, think back to the time when your daddy was farming his land and mama was at the window, both of them watching their children grow— chests pressed, full of pride.

Your father worked hard to tend the land and leave something to his children. Now everything he worked for is about to be jeopardized, and for what? You and your trifling brothers and sisters—yes, I said trifling—are fighting each other like you’re on an episode of Judge Judy. That is ridiculous and just plain sad. Your mama and daddy gave all they had, and what are ya’ll doing?

Trying to give it away for some

coins that will be spent in a month’s time.

Your brother didn’t take the bus up to the city and try to tell you and your siblings what to do with your space, time and dimes, so don’t try to regulate his life now. Give him the house, period. Take the rest of the land and divide

ficed, stayed home and properly maintained and cared for the house, your parents and the land, he earned extra.

Your brothers and sisters are so focused on a few grains of sand that they are missing the beach in all its magnificence.

There are other ways to make money. Taking your brother to

You might not like it, but when your brother sacri-

Reader Advisory: The National Trade Association we belong to has purchased the above classifieds. Determining the value of their service or product is advised by this publication. In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer employment but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home. Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license ID, or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it is illegal to request any money before delivering its service. All funds are based in US dollars. Toll free numbers may or may not reach Canada.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste and a wonderful thing to invest in!
