The people living in the United States have no leader, the country is a rudderless ship adrift in a very stormy sea. But one man stands out, his words are wise and offer real solutions, and today I would like to share with you those words, the words of a true leader, President Barack Obama …
How to Make this Moment the Turning Point for Real Change
Barack Obama
As millions of people across the country take to the streets and raise their voices in response to the killing of George Floyd and the ongoing problem of unequal justice, many people have reached out asking how we can sustain momentum to bring about real change.
Ultimately, it’s going to be up to a new generation of activists to shape strategies that best fit the times. But I believe there are some basic lessons to draw from past efforts that are…

As millions of people across the country take to the streets and raise their voices in response to the killing of George Floyd and the ongoing problem of unequal justice, many people have reached out asking how we can sustain momentum to bring about real change.
Ultimately, it’s going to be up to a new generation of activists to shape strategies that best fit the times. But I believe there are some basic lessons to draw from past efforts that are worth remembering. First, the waves of protests across the country represent a genuine and legitimate frustration over a decades-long failure to reform police practices and the broader criminal justice system in the United States. The overwhelming majority of participants have been peaceful, courageous, responsible, and inspiring. They deserve our respect and support, not condemnation — something that police in cities like Camden and…
On June 26, 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court held in a 5–4 decision that the Fourteenth Amendment requires all states to grant same-sex marriages and recognize same-sex marriages granted in other states.
The month of June was chosen for LGBT Pride Month to commemorate the Stonewall riots, which occurred at the end of June 1969. As a result, many pride events are held during this month to recognize the impact LGBT people have had in the world.
It’s Monday!! Here I goeth … searching for information, data, and video related to Jason. I’ve been reading and watching trailers this about this new series. The issue is that I don’t have Apple TV+!
We thought we were in a post-racial America, didn’t we? Seems we were wishful thinking! …. “We are now living in the future we looked forward to in the late 1960s, a time when racial tensions blew up into riots expressing long-simmering injustices. A time of deep division between the people and those who had taken an oath to protect and serve them.”
The 1960s were to have served as a wake-up call to many Americans concerning police and race.
Somehow, we fell back to sleep.
We are now living in the future we looked forward to in the late 1960s, a time when racial tensions blew up into riots expressing long-simmering injustices. A time of deep division between the people and those who had taken an oath to protect and serve them.
A time when we thought we had finally addressed America’s race and police problem.
Detroit in flames. Summers were punctuated by smoke and fire as Blacks revolted across the nation with the blazing riots that spread from Detroit to Newark to Washington DC.
With increased hostility to the police from alienated minorities and the poor, police departments in the late 1960s had to improve relations between them and the communities they served.
In 1968 President Lyndon Johnson formed the Kerner…
Like many, I’ve been watching for a week how America’s racism flame has become a huge, unmanageable fire as city after city after city erupts in violence after protesting peacefully during the day and degenerating in a full conflagration during the night.
I was scrolling through my FB timeline and found this powerful message by Trevor Noah.
I love Trevor Noah!
In this 18+ minutes message he expresses his point of view about how Black America and White America has responded after the murder of George Floyd, a Minneapolis Black man killed by the unthinkable indifference of a white cop, one Derek Chauvin.
I encourage you to, please, listen to Trevor.
His message is direct, heartfelt and more than enlightening!

Trevor shares his thoughts on the killing of George Floyd, the protests in Minneapolis, the dominos of racial injustice and police brutality, and how the contract between society and black Americans has been broken time and time again.
There’s more to it than meets the eye!! ” …”white supremacist “agitators” appear to be attending protests in the state. But one expert says she sees evidence of groups hoping to start a second civil war: “They want to co-opt [the protests] in order to start their war. They see themselves as being on the side of protesters and that the protesters themselves are useful in causing anarchy.”

AG Barr stepped up and blamed most of the violence in the streets on Antifa Movement….about now most Americans will be asking….what the Hell is Antifa?
He as “Ball Boy” for Donald the Orange has stepped up to help make the protests political…..
As officials warned that extremist groups may have infiltrated the protests over George Floyd’s death, President Trump on Sunday asserted that the US would declare antifa a terrorist group. “The United States of America will be designating ANTIFA as a Terrorist Organization,” he tweeted, after days of tweets about “LAW & ORDER!” and “ANARCHISTS” and the need to use the “unlimited power of our Military.” The New York Times notes Trump has no clear authority to actually do that, seeing as antifa, which stands for anti-fascist, is not an…
