Banks open branches in disproportionately white communities, according to a study by Columbia University researchers.

While I agree that this type of enforcement effort is a waste, I suspect that they were targeting that area because it is the city center and has many tourists and just hosted the Super bowl. The fact that the population selling weed in that area is black is somewhat coincidental.

Our schools were set up so that people had control over their community’s educational standards and funding. That that has turned out to punish poorer communities. I would say now that we would be better served by a more federal financed educational system that could provide a more even funding.

What no mention of Kool and the Gang’s “Celebration” but seriously no Sly and the Family Stone?

Boy you aren’t kidding. Small article in Star Tribune and nothing in any other.

Yea, why have laws if people aren’t going to follow them?
