I’m an Ohio, Black Jill Stein voter. I will point out that the Green Party and Libertarian Party have joined together a few times to file suits for voter access, ballot access, and more. The argument being, if the Democrats, and Republicans can restrict and block access to polling stations, early voting, adding undue…

When they ask for those donations remember to hold them accountable... your money is your voice. The real MVPs of today:

Here is an article about what I commented on earlier: http://www.npr.org/2016/12/08/504718239/military-trained-police-may-be-slower-to-shoot-but-that-got-this-vet-fired

The irony of a political party in complete shambles that lost nearly all control at the federal and state level making fun of another party is not lost on me.

Yes, that’s correct as they had their 13 point plan, and pushed their policy work into other groups like Campaign Zero and were really successful. The conservative pundits benefited from the fact that the name “Black Lives Matter” was so off putting to their viewers, that they would never take 5 minutes and educate…

I don’t know if military training makes a better cop. Based off what I’ve experienced, it’s pretty split with a lot of veterans not adapting to the civilian police force, and doing a few years then leaving or others that buy into it wholeheartedly.

Warning by Langston Hughes

Someone should tell her what happened in Beloved and how the main character killed her daughter in the same manner of Margaret Garner.

Well their wages were already low to begin with so I’m not sure it would have had as big of an effect. I don’t think it’s as prevalent especially in the black community because those who came north during the Great Migration eventually settled in the city. The cost of living in the country was offset by being able to…

I got into a discussion about this a few years ago and it ended once I started asking some basic questions.

“Why are you celebrating failure? The CSA failed. The segregationists failed. The Dixiecrats failed.”
“Why are you dishonoring the creator of the flag by saying it’s not about racism and supremacy? He created it,…

Very large, and thankful to not be on the farm anymore :)

Good for the kids.

In Ohio, My grandparents had 10 kids naturally. They fostered another 12; and adopted 5. I have 15 Aunts/Uncles and 30 first cousins. This worked because we had a hundred+ acre farm to feed the kids, and my grandfather worked in a factory supporting the whole family. Many of my Aunts and Uncles also…

She should apply for that CEO position at Fox News. They’ve been looking for a female to lead the company and she’s perfect. No experience. Capable of mental gymnastics. Less likely to sexual harass women. In the world of 45, she’s qualified to be CEO because she had her own show. #tomilahrenfoxceo

Personally, I feel it’s time to stop supporting mainline parties overall. The Democrats and Republicans have colluded together to ensure we’ll never have another Black Panther Party, or Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party through closed primaries, closed debates, and generally just directing all their vitriol towards…

Democratic voters (especially minorities) vote against their own interests just like Kentuckians. With Democrats it’s more overt: Vote for Obama and he saves the economy but doesn’t prosecute bankers or provide much relief for home owners. Or deports people in the millions or bombs numerous countries under the guise…

No, the heritage of generational failure.

Failure to defend their way of life and Constitution built on the federal right to own negroes that is not allowed to be infringed upon by the state.

Failure to defend their life of segregation and supremacy as ordained by God.

This is all true, but it’s also what CNN wants. They hire people like him, Paris Dennard, and other crazy Trump supporters so their panels turn into something that drives ratings and has no value so their shows go viral. CNN and MSNBC are two of the worst for their false neutrality; focus on opinion and editorial…

Great article and this is a serious issue. It’s one of the reasons there are issues with domestic violence, along with assault especially against trans persons in the black community.

I like this book title:

The city can afford it especially if they stop giving tax abatements to all of the new condos and townhouses in downtown areas, and to developers that are pushing out working people; Democratic voters in urban areas. But whatever.

We cared about this when it happened. There were protests, and lots of angry residents…
