re: Gary Chambers is a really fun follow on facebook....He's also really fat

I made a sickle cell joke to Gary one time and he didn't laugh at all. The guy has no sense of humor.

Greg bringing heat son!

Greg Meriwether WAFB Hey Gary, It’s Greg Meriwether at WAFB-TV. Someone brought your article to my attention. I appreciate it and your attempt at the truth. Unfortunately, I have noted 5 glaring inaccuracies in your article. We all want the facts and truth. In the interest of that, I would like to meet with you and go over my story and yours line by line- so that we may set the record straight. It’s apparent that this is an issue of race to you. I assure you that it is not for me. In fact, I will show you a list of hundreds of orders from Judge White- and you can see for yourself how many black defendants are having to pay more fees to RHI than if they were sent to other companies by other judges. It’s really overwhelming. The honest truth that no one can hide from: More black people have been negatively affected by these fees than anyone else. It’s hurting the people in the very community we care so much about. I cannot stress that enough. I know you care about the black community, bleed and breathe it- I have witnessed your determination. Unfortunately you are misguided here my friend. I say my friend because I’m hoping after our meeting we can be just that. Of the people who came to us about this Trudy White/RHI ordeal, the majority of them are black and hurting. One of them, is a poor strong black grandmother who saved and saved to make her grandson’s bail only to be told of a $550 fee. I have the receipt and the tearful letter from her- which I will show you. Should these non-violent defendants make their bail – save the parish/state money and wait for their court dates? Or should they do that and then been forced to use a specific company that charges more than their competitors? Should they be allowed to choose their own state approved company? Please email me your contact info and I will provide mine, so we can meet. All best- Greg Meriwether gmeriwether@wafb.com

Gary Chambers I’m open to sitting down anytime. Understand there is not misinformation in my story, because I sat down with RHI. We can certainly become friends, because friends don’t have to always agree. I don’t agree with your approach with Judge White that night. I think there is a difference between being a tough journalist and an opportunist

had lunch at Sammy's today because as a white man I can only give my money to white owned businesses

Chambers posts about all the black-owned businesses he supports and encourages others to..because they are owned by black people.
Had a black coworker and a white coworker both selling candy for their kids' schools. Bought the same amount from each.
Should I have only bought from the white kid? Would it be correct to guess that Chambers would've only bought from the black kid?
I just think this is a bad way to look at things. I wouldn't want black kids to not do well with their fundraiser because people didn't buy from them because they are black. I doubt Chambers would either.
His way of thinking sets us all back.

I've decided to not tell the joke. Rest assured, it was hilarious.

if Facebook doesn't shut him down first.

Gary also seems to believe FB is in on the conspiracy to keep NBR down and they're trying to silence him.
