The same people posting propaganda and that martial law is coming don’t even vote. Your chance to have somebody that you trust in elected office is over. You guys that don’t Vote elected Trump, Baker, and Sarno all at the same damn time. Honestly you make me sick.all of these people have executive power to do pretty much whatever they want. If you ask me for anything I’m going to ask first if you registered to vote. Than I’m going to check if you even voted. Do it like in Puerto Rico. You don’t vote you get no help!!

"In its treatment of Kaepernick, the NFL also played out, in modern form, a scenario all too familiar from American history: The league showed black employees that their livelihood will be destroyed if they question white dominance and threaten the systems that have oppressed people of color for centuries."

This is true for any defacto system, they're not designed to benefit certain groups when the authors of said systems were authored by the historically controlling majority.

In pronouncing the outspoken quarterback’s career dead, the league underscored its own unwillingness to let players exercise their own power.

It's clearly evident when American inequality happened, right after the Kennedy presidency the wealthy began their assault on minimizing the number of tax brackets and percentage amount paid.

The US currently has seven tax brackets — and some Republicans, including House Speaker Paul Ryan, think that's too many. In fact, it was a common talking point for Republicans throughout the...

Happy Columbus Day
Exploits of Columbus described by Bartolomé de las Casas “They [Spanish explorers] forced their way into native settlements, slaughtering everyone they found there, including small children, old men, pregnant women, and even women who had just given birth. They hacked them to pieces, slicing open their bellies with their swords as though they were so many sheep herded into a pen. They even laid wagers on whether they could slice a man in two at a stroke, or cut an individual’s head from his body, or disembowel him with a single blow of their axes. They grabbed suckling infants by the feet and, ripping them from their mothers’ breasts, dashed them headlong against the rocks. Others, laughing and joking all the while, threw them over their shoulders, shouting, ‘Wriggle, you little perisher.’

Told he's not a target, a strategy used to keep him from acting out of desperation. It's only a matter of time before Mueller hits him with the hammer.

President Donald Trump's legal team has been told in recent weeks that special counsel Robert Mueller does not consider Trump a target in his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, but he's more than a witness, sources familiar with the matter tell CNN.

Once again another vigilante was on the loose and the media refers to him as a "challenged young man", the dude was a white domestic terrorist deliberately targeting Blacks and Hispanics. This downplaying is exactly why the media needs more colored spheres of influence.

The Texas man who carried out a three-week bombing spree made a 25-minute video "confession" on his phone, which was recovered after he blew himself up on Wednesday as police were closing in to make an arrest, police said. Officials identified the bomber as Mark Conditt, 23, an unemployed

Failing to understand how barbarous this institution was leads people to have little empathy for it's latent generational effects on an entire people and in turn opt for cognitive dissonance, guilt that is masked through weak downplayed rhetoric.

A new report says too many students don't know the basics of American slavery and too many teachers feel ill-served by bad textbooks and timid state standards.
