Mouth Closed

 

The Commercial Appeal won't pull the covers off a deceased well respected member of the community. Especially if that member isn't a high profiled black. Much to my dismay and disappointment.They usually have plenty of subject material. If the readers don't figure it out for themselves. They just don't look that deep. Thaddeus Matthews won't talk about things like this. So a lot of the blacks won't know what to think. I bet most people probably won't put this together, they won't give it much thought. But what does a mortician and a jeweler have in common? "The dental work of dead people." Gold is up to over $2k an ounce. Have you ever seen an embalmed body with the mouth open? Most black people I know have some gold in their mouth. When I read Joe Ford's history. I knew this was just the tip of the iceberg that the ship should never hit. Joe Ford and Las Savelle have been in court before. Why would he let him burn him twice? Las Savelle has been making and selling jewelry in that same Midtown location for the last twenty-five years.. I bet he even knew Joe Ford's father before he passed.

Las Savelle started out selling gold chains at the flea market on weekends. Who do you think his customers were? Bargain hunters who didn't question where the gold came from. He moved from Downtown to Midtown when everyone else was moving out East. Staying close to blacks the whole time. Why would he have a manager when his wife and daughter work in the store? There are aspects of the business they don't know about. Those long time employees could tell you stories you wouldn't believe. The little lady at the counter could write a book. I wouldn't put much pass the Fords to turn a profit. They have a history of body snatching and ripping people off. A scandal like this wouldn't surprise me.. I wonder how many gold rings and necklaces came out of the mouth of dead people? Those who contributed will never tell. They're keeping their mouth closed.
