^^^ I only see red X's.

TMZ was wrong for their smart remark about possibly seeing more Star Jones in the future.

CHICAGO - A body found in an SUV is that of Jennifer Hudson's missing 7-year-old nephew, the focus of a desperate search since the Oscar winner's mother and brother were found shot to death in their home three days earlier, police said Monday.

Chicago police said the body of a black male child was found shortly after 7 a.m. in the rear seat of an SUV. It was later confirmed to be that of Julian King.

The SUV was found parked on the street in a neighborhood of brownstone homes and apartment buildings, and matched the one sought in an Amber Alert issued after Hudson's mother and brother were found slain Friday, police Cmdr. Wayne Gulliford said.

My Lord.

Pray for the protection and safety of Barack Obama and his family...and all black people that may be targeted because of the paradigm shift that is occurring in this country.

I think in the back of our minds, we all knew this would happen at some point. A black man running for president? With a very good chance of winning? The scum of the earth will come out of the woodworks for this. And so it begins.

[Honeykiss1974]

I agree - My prayers are with the family.

On another note, something like this happen to Juvenile (the rapper) earlier this year as well.

On 29 February 2008, Juvenile's 4 year old daughter Jelani was shot and killed in her home, along with mother Deleston and two half sisters. It was reported that Deleston's oldest child, 17 year old son Anthony Tyrone Terrell Jr., returned to the home after police arrived and implicated himself in the murder of his mother and siblings.

I have no love for Juvenile after that. He denied the child almost the whole time she was alive and then rarely saw her when it was proven that she was his. He doesn't show up to the funeral in Charleston (the mother was living in Atlanta at the time and she was a native of Charleston), but shows up at a concert in Augusta the same night of the funeral (and Charleston and Augusta are only three hours away from each other).

My heart really goes out to JHud, her sister and the rest of her family. I can't even imagine what they are going through.

I knew that there would be a "buzz," but I do not believe that it will ever be carried through.

I will never say that we should let our guard down, but I am not breathing life into this hatred. Part of the way that racists try to control others is with fear. I remember in the beginning, people barely wanted to vote for Barack out of fear he'd be killed if he made it too far in the race. All I heard was, "I'on know. They gon' kill him!" I even had to control the buzz amongst my own friends. I'm talking about young, college-educated adults! Had that fear taken hold, I don't even think we'd have made it to the eve of the first Black president being elected in this country.

Even on GC, there are always persons talking about how "they" should not be held responsible for the acts of their ancestors. Well, I think that there is no better time than now to have them to prove it. Of course, there are ALWAYS going to be a few "renegade" racists out there that would rather live amidst poverty, a failing stock market, skyrocketing foreclosures, rising unemployment, energy crises, etc. than to see a BLACK man change this country. However, how long should we be held to this "fear?" What time will EVER be the right time? I say that the time is NOW and I hope this doesn't now deter anyone from voting.

Racists are a pain in the a**, especially these jokers! Their little plot was foiled and that should be a lesson to their comrades. Their wackness is overwhelming and the government will hopefully throw the book at them. They should be punished severely.

These same clowns will be kissing Barack's feet when this country is back on track.
