of Sex, Lies and Gangsta/Racial Profiling
DETROIT/EWORLDWIRE/Oct 11, 2004 --- Jerome Almon of Murdercap
Records has become the first and only American to ever be called
before the Canadian Human Rights Commission.
Almon has been asked to submit
a witness list for the upcoming tribunal where he has alleged
and has absolute proof that Canadian Customs and Immigration
has been racially profiling black Americans in a wholesale-directed
fashion - specifically black rappers and other black entertainers.
This will add another scandalous layer to the already gigantic
scandal that racial profiling has become in Canada over the last
year.
Almon has also asked the CHRC
to obtain answers to the following questions:
-- Does Canada have a Rap Squad
as do Miami and New York?
-- Is Canada applying or attempting
to apply the laws against gangsterism (a crime in Canada) to
U.S. rappers?
Names on the witness list will
include Gangster rappers DMX, Jay Z, 50 Cent and The Blakkattakk,
Secretary of State Colin Powell, Calif. Governor Arnold Swartzenegger,
Candian Defense Minister Bill Graham, Minister for Immigration
Elinor Caplan and Dennis Coderre, Toronto Star reporter Vernon
Clement Jones, MP's Libbie Davies and Carolyn Parrish, Ontario
Premier Dalton McGuinty, and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Wilson
Pickett.
Background
Over the past year incidents of gross racial profiling at Canadian
ports of entry have been revealed to the Canadian public, including:
--DMX arrested and deported
--Wilson Pickett strip searched
--The Selwyn Pieters incident
and settlement
--Blacks make up 80 percent
of secondary inspections at land crossings while whites make
up two percent
-- Jay Z and 50 Cent were victims
of racial/economic profiling
-- Senator Carl Levin's letter
on Almon's behalf (it is devastating to the opposition)
-- Canada's Rodney King incident
The Tribunal will pit the U.S.
State Department, the Hip Hop Community, Governor Swartzenegger,
the Congressional Black Caucus, U.S. Senator Carl Levin and Murdercap
Records against the Canadian Minister for Immigration, the Canadian
Foreign Minister, the Toronto Film Industry, and Canada Customs
and Immigration. Due the nature of the allegations against Almon
and the allegations he has made, the Tribunal promises to be
salacious, extremely controversial, and to be more devastating
to Canadian tourism and the entertainment industry than SARS,
and quite embarrassing to the Canadian government - the economic
losses have already started to mount.
 Plan Of Action
Almon has formally asked Secretary of State Collin Powell and
the Congressional Black Caucus to address the matter directly
with the Canadian Ambassador to the United States and the Canadian
Foreign Minister, as these Canadian Officials have directly addressed
allegations of U.S. border agencies profiling Canadian Arabs
and East Indians on many occasions.
Almon has also asked the Congressional
Black Caucus to issue a travel advisory to its Black constituents.

This is a pretty good scrapbook
for the 1998-2002 period.
 Hatchen and Munson: These two drove
Darrell Night to the edge of Saskatoon
on a freezing January night in 2000. They were found guilty of
unlawful confinement, did some time and are acknowledged by the
Saskatoon Police Service for each having served for 17 years.
The Police Association stood by them and paid for their defence
until they were convicted. Only then were they fired.
