Plaxico Comes Out of Hiding for The Homeless

Plaxico BurressPlaxico Burress emerged last night -- making his first public appearance since accidentally shooting himself in the right thigh two weeks ago.

The suspended receiver attended a charity fundraiser at a nightclub last night in NYC, along with his wife and son. Burress didn't discuss his ongoing legal woes, only saying he was only there to support the event.

Burress has been suspended for the rest of the regular season, and faces criminal possession of a weapon charges. He is due back in court March 31, and has pleaded not guilty. He is currently free on $100,000 bail.

2. How in the Blue Heck do you claim "Not Guilty" with all the proof literally on you? Unregistered weapon on him, gun shot wound to the leg, on him, and a run to the Hospital...oh wait, maybe he's pulling a Mariah & Beyonce (mimi & sasha fierce) it wasn't him that committed the crimes it was Harris Smith, his alter ego. Now it makes sense! But he'll get just a slap on the wrist cause Celebs can charges reduced if you eventually seek a plea bargain.

4. Judge,
Aint nuthin going to change white women are still going to love us, we still gonna talk the way we wanna talk, act like we wants to act, and dress like we want to dress. The only thing that is going to change is that Obama going to even the field for us so we can be treated as equals.

6. Unfortunately it is true that this guy will get a lite sentence because he has a little money but he still has the problem of you can't fix stupid. Rick is right, nothing will Change. You will continue to speak like like you are under educated,( because you are) dress in your clown suites( I guess to cover up your deep seeded insecurities) Because of this people will continue to want to avoid your neighborhoods, lock you up every chance they get,make brutal of fun of you because of your obvious ignorance,yea a few got to be rich because they can play ball or sing but that just makes you entertainers, in the end really just nobody's. The terrible truth is Obama is one in 10 million. Believe me if he starts supporting thugs and criminals and soft sentencing for such he won't be around for a second term. He understands this you idiot. White people elected Obama too and don't think for a second he will forget it. You are just wishful thinking if believe anything else

7. Why is it that people come on here bragging they got white women. Is there something wrong with black women that you feel you have scored big if you land a white women. There are plenty of white trash interested in you as long as you got green. You never here anyone bragging they got your black women. chances are you never will. You people( yea, I said that!) have a real problem with double standards don't you . I realize you don't know what that means but it is BS, I'll tell you that much and you should be called on it.

I see you fell for the bait. That person is obviously not black, just trying to make blacks look ignorant.

btw, ignorance is not color specific. Mexicans, African Americans, Caucasians, Latinos, Koreans, etc are all capable of ignorance.

It never fails to amaze me how stereotypical some of you morons can be, I'm surprised you are able to type, let alone function, when you clearly choose not to use your brain.

Also, while trying to appear smart please use the tools afforded you to check your spelling.

10. #13. I am surprised you can still breath with all that sand in your mouth. If you are so smart and all what are you doing on this lame brain site? How hypocritical can you get, you are going to log onto a Hollywood gossip site and start yammering on how stupid the people are< If you're so frigging smart why don't you go post on CNN or PBS, Isn't that where all the "smart " people are? Or do you need to come here to make youself feel smarter than everyone else. Talk about insecurity! If you don't like us dumbasses then go the hell away, go lick on Anderson Coopers balls or somthing. One thing is for sure, if you were anything like an intellectual the last place you would be is on this site so quit telling on yourself dumbass. As for me.. the world has gotten just a bit complicated, that is why I'm here, this site is funny and irreverant , I like that. what is your exuse oh wise one?

I'm up here for entertainment and jerking the chains of tools like you who write long essays about me. Oh how I love the attention! btw, you are still a moron.

Posted at 5:53AM on Dec 14th 2008 by damn you are stupid....

12. Oh yeah, let's talk about insecurities. You spew hate behind your keyboards and white hoods. And when someone calls you out on it, you make yourself out to be the victim.

Posted at 6:00AM on Dec 14th 2008 by damn you are stupid....

13. Truth is not hate. The truth hurts but it is what it is. If you don't like reality why don't you do something about it. You could start by getting an education.
