	George Brydges Rodney, 1st Baron Rodney - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		George was sent to Harrow, being appointed, on leaving, by warrant dated June 21, 1732, a volunteer on board Sunderland.
		Sir George struck his flag with a feeling of disappointment at not obtaining the governorship of Jamaica, and was shortly after forced to settle in Paris.
		Rodney was unquestionably a most able officer, but he was also vain, selfish and unscrupulous, both in seeking prize money, and in using his position to push the fortunes of his family.

	Rodney King - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		"Rodney" Glen King (born April 2, 1965 in Sacramento, California) was an African-American motorist who, while videotaped by a bystander (George Holliday), was struck repeatedly by Los Angeles police officers (LAPD) during a police stop on March 3, 1991.
		The President of the United States, George H. Bush, made a rare statement on a trial, saying that the verdict "has left us all with a deep sense of personal frustration and anguish." The verdict triggered massive rioting in Los Angeles, which left hundreds of buildings severely damaged or destroyed and dozens dead.
		The media referred to him as "Rodney King" because in either initial police reports or initial news reports, he was mistakenly called Rodney King, and as the news was rebroadcast, the error was rebroadcast as well.

		RODNEY FOX: The white pointer is probably the most feared predator in the world today and it eats things as big as we are - dolphins and seals and stingrays and whales.

		George Jackson knew well what it meant to seek for heightened socialist and humanist consciousness inside the belly of the white imperialist beast.
