always tryin to hold the black man(or woman) down! - GoFuckYourself.com

TDF · 11-12-2003, 09:03 PM

Army Spec. Shoshana Johnson, the African American woman who was held
prisoner of war in the U.S. invasion of Iraq, was looking forward to
a
quiet discharge from the Army in a few days. Battle scarred and
weary,
she has said not a word as her fellow POW comrade in arms Jessica
Lynch cashes in with book and movie deals and a
celebrity status in the media.

But it is the Army that is forcing Johnson to break her peace. A
few
days ago, military brass informed her that she would receive a 30
percent disability benefit for her injuries. Lynch, who is White,
was
discharged in August and will receive an 80 percent disability
benefit.

The difference amounts to $600 or $700 a month in payments, and that
is causing Johnson and her family to speak out. They are so troubled
by what they see as a "double standard," that they have enlisted
Rev.
Jesse Jackson to help make their case to the news media.

Jackson, who plans to plead Johnson's cause with the White House,
the
Pentagon and members of Congress, says the payment smacks a double
standard and racism.
"Here's a case of two women, same [unit], same war; everything about
their service commitment and their risk is equal. . . . Yet there's
an
enormous contrast between how the military has handled these two
cases," Jackson told The Washington Post.

Johnson's father, Claude Johnson, himself an Army veteran, says that
while neither he nor his family begrudge Lynch her celebrity or
disability payments, he believes that his daughter should get her
due,
and it is more than a 30 percent disability benefit.

For its part, the Army, in denying charges of double standard, said
Friday that claims are awarded to soldiers according to their
injuries.

Johnson, 30, the mother of a 3-year-old daughter, was held captive
for 22 days, when her unit stumbled into an ambush in southern Iraq
last March. Eleven soldiers were killed, and six, including Lynch
and
Johnson, were taken prisoners. Johnson was shot in both legs and is
still traumatized by her war experience. In addition to walking with
a
limp, she suffers from bouts of depression.

That's fucked up. No other way to describe it...

TDF · 11-12-2003, 09:16 PM

i'm shocked that the government would even pull some shit like this what someone who was in the EXACT same situation. these fucks really do have some brass balls.

They should contact the NAACP or somebody more objective. Im sorry, but going to Rev. Jesse "Baby Momma Drama" Jackson would just turn off more people than help Shoshana's case.

Furious_Female · 11-12-2003, 09:37 PM

I don't like when anyone plays the race or sex card, but in this case it seems too obvious. Then again, looking back at all the Vietnam vets that got shunned when they came home, it really doesn't surprise me. I think Lynch would have gotten the same bad deal as Shoshana and everyone else, if the media didn't sensationalize her ordeal. I'm sorry to say, the government doesn't treat any veteran with respect. Look how long it took just to get a WWII memorial.

myjah · 11-12-2003, 10:31 PM

so blatantly wrong. i really hope she gets this changed. please post updates as you have them

Mogulman · 11-12-2003, 10:37 PM

Its unfortunate cause they're all just caught up in government propoganda. I think Bush needed a cover girl to try and win war support from white America and Lynch fit the profile. It's fucked up, I agree.

It says she walks with a limp... Jessica cant even walk without crutches

I dont think the media/movie/book deal shit is fair at all, but I see a big difference in the injury / disability argument

menace · 11-12-2003, 11:27 PM

Unlike Jessica Lynch she actually did go down fighting. She was shot in both of her legs, they broke both of her feet and when they where freed she still WALKED out. That makes her a G to me

Of course Lynch is going to get more - she is Bush's little war whore - he is milking that girl for everything she is worth. He wants to keep her happy so he can keep using her story to gain support for the war.

This is Ameria we are talking about - do you think they will care more about some "pretty" blonde-hair bitch that is the human version of apple pie of some big-boned black girl who needs about a gallon of lotion thanks to that fucking country.

Yes, that shit is wrong - and I hope hers goes up to the SAME level as Lynch is getting.

But Jesse is the wrong person for the job, he will prob come back with 40 acres and a mule and think he did something good. They need to get a real lawyer - somebody that is a media whore and will take the case for free so they can get on TV more (besides Jesse that is).

Ya know, come to thnk about it - she should sell her story for 1 million and tell how much of a whore Jessica really was. Now THAT would piss Bush off big time

dougeetx · 11-13-2003, 11:11 AM

that is truly fucked up!! I don't understand why Lynch is getting so much attention while my sister girl who was shot in both legs, get dumped on and jacked by the military!
