No shame rapper Jim Jones said he read 1 book his whole life During slavery blacks were forbidden to read and were beaten to near death if they were caught with a book.This punishment was common knowledge and scared slaves from reading.The vestiges of this policy may still be with some.Slavery may be over but maybe Jim Jones never read that or better yet maybe nobody told Jim Jones since he brags that he only read one book in his 34 years of life. This may be proof that the world is backwards since rapper Jim Jones has over a million people following him on TWITTER. Jim Jones just bragged in an interview that he has only Read 1 Book in His Entire Life.!!! Wait he is 34 years old and the only book he claims he has ever read was PIMP by Iceberg Slim.

BRN had been fully accredited by the NYPD for the past 40 years while serving radio stations with daily newsfeeds. It is the nation’s oldest such minority news service. “It appears the standard now used by the NYPD to deny the vital press credentials of Black Radio Network differs from the standard applied to non-minority oriented media,” declared BRN attorney Earl Ward. “The facts speak for themselves,” said Ward. “We have waited more than a year to have our credentials renewed so that we can cover New York news, in our own style, on a equal footing with other media companies,” said BRN president and news director Jay Levy. “We have held up the worldwide distribution of our daily Minority News report at blackradionetwork.com until such time as we gain the renewal of our working press credentials by the NYPD,” said Levy. “In my more than 50 years in the New York news business, I never witnessed such discriminatory treatment by the NYPD,” observed the BRN official.
