Let me bottom line the story for you that is in a local courtroom here in Metro Atlanta.
An Indian father was very unhappy that his son had married a Black girl. He asks his son to divorce the Black woman because he wants to keep their genetic bloodline pure Indian. His son refuses to divorce his wife and they have a child together.
The Indian father hires a Black man to find a hit man to kill the Black woman. The Black middle man ends up finding a hit man, ANOTHER BLACK MAN to kill the Black woman for money.
The "Nurse Eunice Rivers/ Snarling Fox" Award is named after Nurse Eunice Rivers who was a Black female nurse who assisted in the Tuskegee Syphilis experiment. She willingly went along with individuals seeking to do active harm to Black people and thus is worthy of permanent shame. All other people who act in such a way thus are worthy of this award.
Sharing the prize this month are:
Willie Fred Evans, 74 - Black Man who conspired to kill a Black mother on behalf of a racist
Herbert Green, 60 - Black Man who conspired to kill a Black mother on behalf of a racist
Carl Clark, 43 - Black Man who conspired to kill a Black mother on behalf of a racist
Cleveland Clark, 49 - Black Man who conspired to kill a Black mother on behalf of a racist. Special acknowledgment needs to go to Cleveland Clark. He was the Black man who stabbed and strangled Sparkle. He is reported to have said that he should have killed the child as well. The 7 month old child who cried as her mother lay dead next to her.
Court Testimony:
A woman testified she watched Cleveland Clark kill 22-year-old Sparkle Rai inside Rai's Union City apartment. Clark said he didn't hurt Rai's daughter, but "he said he should have thrown the (expletive) over the rail" of the balcony, said the witness, now 23.
......
The woman, who broke down in tears when shown pictures of Sparkle's bloody corpse, testified that Clark nearly botched the killing because he tried to strangle Sparkle.
As they were leaving the apartment the seemingly lifeless Sparkle gasped, which caught Clark's attention.
"Cleve was walking out the door with me and (Sparkle) started coming back to life," the witness said. "He went back to the kitchen and got a knife and stabbed her and he was still stabbing her when I left."
The cousin testified Wednesday that her friend took possession of Sparkle's infant daughter, Analla, who had started crying and took the baby fromo the room in an attempt to calm her. Clark wrapped a cord from Sparkle's vacuum cleaner around her neck and started strangling her with it, the cousin said.
"She was gagging and blood started coming out of her mouth," the witness said, noting that Sparkle reached out during her murder.
"In what direction was she reaching?" asked prosecutor Eleanor Ross.
"Her baby," the cousin said
Death Penalty Sought For Former HBCU Professor Charged With Murder
ATLANTA
The death penalty will be sought against a former mathematics professor accused of sending contract killers to murder his 22-year-old daughter-in-law, Fulton County prosecutors said this week.
Prosecutors say Chiman L. Rai, a 67-year-old native of India, paid $10,000 to have four men kill his daughter-in-law. They say Rai disapproved of his son's marriage to Sparkle Rai because she was Black.
In April of 2000, Sparkle Michelle Rai was found strangled and stabbed to death inside the Union City, Ga., apartment she shared with her husband, Rick Rai. Their 7-month-old daughter, Alana, was found unharmed inside the home. A tip to police in 2004 reopened the case, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Chiman Rai brought his family to Jackson, Miss. in 1970 and taught math at historically Black Alcorn State University. He left teaching after a decade to open a supermarket, and later moved to Louisville, Ky., where he opened a hotel.
Rai was ordered by Superior Court Judge Bensonetta Tipton Lane to remain jailed after prosecutors successfully argued he might try to leave the area or the country. The four alleged hit men are scheduled to appear at the Fulton County courthouse at the end of the month.
The four men charged along with Chiman Rai are Willie Fred Evans, 74; Herbert Green, 60; Cleveland Clark, 49; and Carl Clark, 43. The latter two were both serving time in a Mississippi prison for armed robbery when they were charged. Evans and Green are both of Louisville, Ky.
The men are charged with murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, burglary, possession of a firearm and knife during the commission of a felony and conspiracy to commit a crime.
According to news report, Rick Rai eventually married an Indian woman, but never told his new wife about the murder of Sparkle Rai or about Alana.
THIS IS WHY I SUPPORT THE DEATH PENALTY!!!!

i couldn't agree more
thanks for writing this
those disgraceful uncle tom negros needed to have the death penalty along with that indian man
I am an Indian male and was appalled when I first heard this story. Kudos to the author for highlighting the black angle on this too.
The older generations in India feel a very very strong sense of community because of the constant invasions India faced back then. I mention this to give an idea to folks about Indian culture in general (a huge broad brush used by me here - but used just to provide some context). So a father's aversion to his son's inter-cultural, not to mention interracial marriage is not too surprising. But the unbelievable part is for him to order a hit on her, the mother of his grandchild! I don't need to elaborate anymore on my incredulity regarding this inhumanity I suppose.
I am almost embarrassed to say this to the black readers of this blog, but please know that Indians are mostly an accepting group (the occasional racism caused by self-loathing notwithstanding). Let us draw on the strengths of Gandhi and Dr. King, who were connected in spirit, to apreciate each other and make the world a better place.
Thank you, so much previous poster for your words of clarity.
Indians are very accepting one said? I dunno about that? I dated an Indian guy and well I am a black woman so you know how that went. His Dad did NOT want me in his life or even in his HOUSE! I wasn't invited to a Tamil wedding once. he even said to me after he dumped me (and before he wanted me back again) "I don't want a black baby, I want a brown baby." Sure, if I were white, I am sure there would be no major problems. My Indian friend married a Jewish-American guy and she did not give me an invite to her wedding and I swear it was because black women just don't get invited to these events unless you are "special" somehow. Still bitter and yes, still pissed about it!
Those black men who would dare to cross the line to hurt their own kind are the lowest of the low, vile, depraved, pieces of pure garbage on the planet. The Indian man's son has no backbone and probably feared for his own life or for the life of his daughter to go along with this marriage in India. If I could go up to these men who killed this woman. I would punched them so hard in the face for selling their souls to the devil. I'd skin them alive.
