Plain old newsies news nose and luck.
Had FR discussion about South Carolina NAACP clown the other day. Met him once at a meeting I was covering. Group recited the pledge to the Black flag and sang Black National Anthum.
Somebody on FR said no such ting existed..... so a little Google search.... and Bingo.
I know that area of OKC, made a few phone calls, got really brassed off, and posted it to FR, because I knew it would get some legs here.
Looks like it's going national!
Way to go FR!
Glad you asked.... Basically it was an old newsies nosy news nose. Know how a good cop can just "know" a car is stolen? It's about the same thing.
Here's how it started. Was having a FR discussion about the South Carolia NAACP head who called for a boycot on travel in SC. Met the clown once. It was at an NAACP meeting I was covering. (Blonde, blue eyed reporter at an NAACP meeting. Now that was fun..... Actually the locals, many of whom I knew, went out of way to make me feel welcome.)
Anyway, before the Carolina NAACP clown spoke, group recited the Pledge to the Black Flag and sang the Black National Anthem. Somesone on FR said there were no such things, so I did a Google search..... and Bingo!
Was surprized to see it was connected to a public school. I know that area of Oklahoma City, so did a little digging, and Bingo again.
Posted it on FR, because I knew this story had legs and FReepers would move story nationally.... and they did.
Way to go FReepers!
