OK, it seems there is a need for clarity here. I guess I need to open up the complete files on this.
Sit on back, grab your favorite beverage and let me tell the tale.
Once upon a time, at Bella Bash 2009, a semi-young, good looking Mexican was enjoying the food provided by Grill Master Bill. It was his first Bella Bash and he was full of hope and dreams. After finishing his first plate he went to get plate number 2 of the delicious spread offered. Upon entering the area he was met by a tall dark man, the one known as Natural. As this semi-young good looking Mexican reached for some food the one known as Natural leaned in said "Too bad there isn't any tortillas eh homes" in a forced and mocking Mexican accent. Needless to say I was taken aback by this, as well as extremely upset. I was willing to let this go, but during the party Saturday night of Bella Bash 2009, not only did he not recognize my awesome outfit (he shielded his eyes) but while being pwned by several ladies he failed to congratulate me and give me my due for my comment of "Just another example of people holding a black man down", even though many others gave me props. Instead he accused me of not helping him only taking advantage of the situation by taking pictures of the event. I was hurt yet again by this, even adding insult to it by doing it in the the same mocking Mexican accent.
You would think this alone would have been enough....but no. Two other events happened that put this past weekends Bella Court into full action. One of those was his constant murmuring about being the big bad Ler, and that no one has ever taken him on, which I knew full well was wrong, as did many others yet he still tried to maintain. What is wrong with being a switch, I thought. Many here enjoy it, who was he to claim he had never known the other side. And then lastly, and most tragic event was NEST 2010.
At NEST 2010 I was in the midst of giving all the ladies in attendance a flower and a wonderful Charms Blo-Pop. As I was nearing the end of my gifts I noticed Natural (who sometimes is called Hortense I understand) and felt I needed to make one last attempt to make peace with Natural so I offered him what I was giving the ladies. To my horror and surprise he did not take my gift. I was merely trying to make amends but my generous offers and friendship was spurned by a head shake, another mocking Mexican accent and comments about calling INS to take me away.
Right then, I knew...I must have satisfaction. My plan was put into effect once I knew I would be attending the bash. I contacted those whom I trusted most...the IFD, in particular Skippy and BlackestLily. I informed them of my intentions and asked if they thought it would be a good idea as well as humorous. They agreed it would be, but not to be part of it in fact a Facebook conversation with Skippy says that she did not want to do any speaking and she was sure she would have her fill of Bella Court and did not herself want to file the charges, so I told her I would do it (which it was my idea in the beginning) on her and BlackestLily's behalf, but initially they were to be silent partners . I did not intend ill-will, merely a laugh at Naturals expense as I have been on the end of receiving many times. I told them (Skippy and BlackestLily) that I would charge Natural in Bella Court and even told them I would make a slide presentation, I told them I would do it on their behalf. However it is correct they did not know I was going to bring them forward as the accusers. You see I could not be accuser and Lawyer (nefarious Mexican Barrister that is) so I needed the ladies that knew of my plan to unwittingly be a part of such. Also, I knew for years Skippy suffered in Bella Court and she needed a win, a win I knew with my rock solid slide show presentation as evidence, would secure that for her.
My initial intent was to act alone, but as most of the things I do they live, breathe and grow. Skippy and Lily were only brought in at the last minute after some thought on how to make what was already a top level case even better.
So there it is. All out in the open. A wonderful story I am sure you will all agree.
Moral to this story, if a Mexican offers you a flower and Charms Blo-Pop, take it.

We will have to do something about this!
