By Kathy Wray Coleman, editor-in-chief
CLEVELAND URBAN NEWS.COM-CLEVELAND, Ohio-The Cleveland NAACP is pretending to want the grand jury transcript as to the Tamir Rice Cleveland police fatal shooting to cover up that it has not and will not seek criminal charges against the White cops that killed the 12-year-old, data show. (Editor's note: The Cleveland NAACP is accused of harassing Black Cleveland activist Kathy Wray Coleman, also a local journalist who edits Cleveland Urban News.Com, on Facebook. A dues paying Cleveland NAACP member, Coleman says the harassment is routine and has been going on for years in retaliation for her writings and community activism. Other Black women, including a former Cleveland NAACP official and retired judge, have been demeaned by branch leaders, the retired judge of whom the branch president allegedly wants to to "go f--- herself.")

Samaria Rice, Tamir's mother, wants the cops that killed her 12-year-old son criminally charged, and the NAACP will not back her on the issue, the city settling a wrongful death and excessive force federal lawsuit last year for $6 million in an alleged effort to quiet the issue before the Republican National Convention, which was held last summer in Cleveland.

Greater Cleveland community activists support Rice's mother on the issue and say the NAACP is selling out on the matter.

"The NAACP should join us in demanding criminal charges against police," said longtime community activist Art McKoy of Black on Black Crime Inc.

Kathy Wray Coleman, an activist and a journalist who edit Cleveland Urban News.Com, Ohio's most read digital Black newspaper, agrees and says " the Cleveland NAACP is a fraud that has lost its focus and will not truly stand up for Black people against the White establishment when necessary."

Today (Jan 31, 2017), Cleveland NAACP President Michael Nelson Sr. and Vice President James Hardiman, both Cleveland attorneys, sought parts of the Tamir Rice grand jury transcript, though it is unlikely that the transcript will be released since such grand jury proceedings, which are often corrupt against Black people, are secret per state law.

Hardiman and Nelson, however, do not want the state law changed to allow open grand jury proceedings and access to testify before a county grand jury hearing cases for possible indictments, the process now of which allows the county prosecutor to pick and choose the persons that testify, police of whom often get free reign to lie on Black people to influence indictments.

The two White Cleveland police officers involved in the 2014 recreation park shooting of Tamir, who was carrying a toy gun, Timothy Loehmann, the shooter, and his partner, Frank Garmback, were not indicted by a county grand jury after former county prosecutor Tim McGinty lobbied the grand jury not to indict, a successful effort that contributed to his reelection loss last year to current county prosecutor Michael O'Malley.

Only McGinty's comments before the grand jury have been sought by the NAACP, which some say lends credence to the absence of any real effort to get data.

Witness testimony, also allegedly compromised by McGinty before the grand jury, is also pertinent, but Hardiman and Nelson say they do not want the testimony for public consumption, if their petition for the transcript is granted by Judge McDonnell.

It's all a scam, sources say, and the local Civil Rights organization for Black people has never wanted the cops at issue prosecuted, or any other Cleveland cops that erroneously gun down innocent Black people.

Hardiman and Nelson are on the take, say sources, and want monies for their law firms and favors from corrupt judges.

Hence, they must do exactly like they are told to do by establishment types, sources say.

Meanwhile, its president, Michael Nelson Sr., is being accused of harassing Black women and Black reporters while kissing up to White reporters at the Cleveland Plain Dealer Newspaper.

He allegedly said that former Cleveland NAACP officials and retired Ohio 8th District Court of Appeals judge Sara J. Harper, 90-years-old and who ran against Nelson for branch president in 2015, to " go f--- herself.").

He has targeted Kathy Wray Coleman, a 24-year-journalist who trained for 17 years at the Call and Post Newspaper in Cleveland, Ohio, and a dues paying member of the Cleveland NAACP who interviewed former president Barack Obama one-on-one.

Coleman says she has been harassed by Cleveland NAACP officials for years.

Read below, the Facebook harassment against Coleman by the NAACP president, which Coleman says is routine.


                    
Next NAACP General Membership meeting is February 7, 2017 at University Circle United Methodist Church @ 7pm. Rachel Dissell of the Cleveland Plain Dealer to discuss her research on lead contamination in Cleveland.
If you have the slightest concern for the well-being of those in the Cleveland community, you don't want to miss this meeting. We will review maps to show the greatest area of impact, the medical effect of lead on those exposed to it, and what the NAACP plans to do to get the problem addressed. This is environmental racism at its worst and must stop.

Kathy Wray Coleman I cannot in good faith, and as a dues paying member, attend a meeting for us to celebrate White reporters while subordinating Blacks ones. The Plain Dealer mistreats and defames the Black community and Black leaders. Quit kissing up and how do Black reporters that belong to the NAACP get access to the same forum? Have you people heard of the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment? I am a dues paying member who was told by the Cleveland NAACP president at the November meeting that I could not even ask a question. If a White Plain Dealer reporter gets a forum in February and Black women reporters don't, we will address this with national headquarters and otherwise. Open the Feb forum to all interested Black reporters or do not have it at all, unless its politically motivated, of course. www.clevelandurbannews.com

Kathy Wray Coleman
Kathy Wray Coleman What happen was that they brought in a psychologist to talk about Blacks being mentally ill at the November meeting because Trump won as president and when they took questions I raised my hand, and after letting a non-member White woman speak the president of the Cleveland NAACP told the monitor (Ben Holbert) not to let me ask a question as a reporter or otherwise. He did this before the audience and some Black men had to tell him to stop the harassment. If you complain you get harassed. Now he wants to bring in a White woman reporter from the Plain Dealer, which often defames Blacks and Black leaders, for a presentation, and you can bet that Black women reporters that he cannot control will not be able to speak. This is unfair and possibly discriminatory. I was advised by the Old Guard and former Cleveland NAACP officials to take the local NAACP president to the national but I didn't. But people are tired of the Cleveland NAACP's mistreatment of Black women and Black people, though we still support them and want growth by the orgaization across all lines, including relative to Black women. They need to follow the lead of National NAACP President and CEO Cornell William Brookswww.kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com

Kathy Wray Coleman I have no problem complimemting people across racial lines when it is due and we do appreciate the coverage relative to the Imperial Avenue Murders. I also need to mention that while we supported the rape kits we also believe that some Black men may have been erroneously prosecuted and convicted by racist and corrupt former county proesutor Tim McGinty, who has protected White cops that gun down innocent Blacks and was endorsed for reelection by the bias Plain Dealer Newspaper. The larger issue here today is the Cleveland NAACP inviting the racist Plain Dealer Newspaper and not Black news venues to contribute to the forum and that Black women reporters were told they could not even ask a question at the November meeting by the Cleveland NAACP president before a large audience. Perhaps people need to show the Cleveland NAACP what we showed President Trump as to our march on Cleveland last Saturday. Now we are getting threatened with police and security. Are they going to gun us down with 137 shots at the upcoming meeting? www.kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com

Kathy Wray Coleman As to your comment above Rachael on the Imperial Avenue Murders, we appreciate the coverage but overall the Plain Dealer is a racist rag that undermines the Black community and has few Black writers in a majority Black city. This is not personal. You should not get to make a presentation before a Black Civil Rights group as a White woman when Black women reporters have been told they cannot even ask questions by its president. And Black news venues should be asked to join you or are they so mediocre to this elitist group of people that they do not even qualify? We want a forum on racism, police killings, voting rights, etc. And they chose your subject to limit Blacks. Believe me, Black reporters can match you in any forum and do not push subordinating Black reporters. Try requesting inclusion www.clevelandurbannews.com

And you are allegedly only coming to allegedly target Mayor Jackson for the president of the Cleveland NAACP, a potential mayoral candidate. If Black women reporters and Black female community activists cannot even ask questions at meetings per the Cleveland NAACP president yet you get a whole forum to promote yourself and the racist Plain Dealer, I have a problem with that potentially discriminatory activity as a dues paying Black NAACP member and a reporter and community activist. www.clevelandurbannews.com

We intend to boycott your racist event and we may even picket you. Stay tuned and if you threaten police or these comments we might sue you. And it might be time for a picket of the racist Plain Dealer Newspaper. Please be advised that peaceful protests are free speech. After speaking with activists I will notify you of our next move, if any. And believe me I have nothing personal with local NAACP President Michael Nelson. He is not my type. He told me that former Cleveland NAACP official retired Judge Sara Harper should go F---- herself. Maybe that is personal because it unnerved me and is unprofessional. And he curses freely at Black women and, I believe he tries to intimidate them if they say things he does not agree with. He is a loose cannon and a liability to the NAACP, I believe. www.clevelandurbannews.com
