A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit against President Obama’s immigration policy filed by Joe Arpaia and his lawyer, Larry Klayman. This is a major legal defeat for two of America’s noisiest rightwing crackpots. But I’m sure they didn’t expect to win; this was a publicity[...]

Black NYC cops fear white cops, complain of being profiled
NYPD is notorious for its blatant racial profiling, from which its own black officers aren’t exempt. Reuters, a news agency, interviewed 25 black male officers of the NYPD, 15 retired and 10 active, and “all but one said that, when off duty and out of uniform, they had been victims of [...]

BLACK AMERICA: Who chooses the schools?
This bothers me a lot more than the color of the skin in a police officer’s uniform. Too often I hear well-meaning lace curtain liberals, white and black, telling black parents what is best for their kids. Education is not a way out of the current occupation of black America, its is the only[...]

Will anything change now?
I’m cautiously optimistic. The racist culture of St. Louis County is under siege, and St. Louis County isn’t going to be the same. The old festering sore of police brutality, a nationwide problem, is receiving renewed scrutiny. The changes may not be as extensive or immediate as we’d like [...]
Time for real progress
What some would consider progress over the last 60 years since the Montgomery Bus Boycotts is really just widespread tokenism. Progress for a few is not progress at all unless we are looking at it from an individualistic-assimilationist point of view. This view focuses on the success of a few whil[...]
Al Sharpton is a Very Bad Man
Sharpton Refuses de Blasio’s Calls to Halt Protests Until After NYPD Funerals As Sharpton told Reuters, he and his followers are holding vigils for Eric Garner and Michael Brown and, thus, are technically not protesting.
