Eye on the Prize
Trust me, I am angry too. This week has been one of the darkest on record in my lifetime. But the only real way to start fixing these injustices is by winning elections.
UPDATE:
Sounds like President Obama agrees with Harvey and me. Read HERE.

Derek Chauvin Charged With Third-Degree Murder and Manslaughter in Death of George Floyd
As if 2020 weren't already one of the worst years on record, yet another police killing of an unarmed black man. This arrest is not enough, but at least it's a start.
The Washington Post reports:
Fired Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin has been charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter in the death of George Floyd, Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman announced Friday afternoon. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner announced it has made “no physical findings that support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation.” The preliminary results of the May 26 autopsy were included in the statement of probable cause for charges against Chauvin. The medical examiner suggested underlying health conditions contributed to Floyd’s death. Floyd’s family said it will seek an independent autopsy.
“Chauvin did not remove his knee after Floyd said ‘I can’t breathe’ or after he shouted ‘Mama’ and uttered ‘please,’ the charging statement from the Hennepin County Attorney’s office says. He allegedly did not move his knee until nearly three minutes after another officer was unable to find Floyd’s pulse.”I think it's time to scrap this country and just start over.

N.Y. Giants Owner Rips Trump on Anthem Protests: 'He Has No Understanding of Why They Take a Knee'
Giants co-owner Steve Tisch is my new hero. If people complaining about athletes taking a knee would turn this senseless rage toward helping fix the problem of racial inequality -- by the police and otherwise -- we might actually be able to level the playing field. Love a man who isn't afraid to speak his mind -- especially knowing that many football fans are as dense as Crazy Donald.

White With 'Rage'
Not sure what's more disgusting: how the cops -- who seem to shoot people of color with impunity -- bent over backward to be kind to this entitled brat , or that she in turn cried sexual assault and police brutality.
It's almost as if this old Eddie Murphy sketch from "Saturday Night Live" were a documentary.

#WhiteLivesMatter in Jupiter, Fla.
Could someone please explain to me why the police have no problem apprehending ALIVE this man who resisted arrest, fought off five officers and multiple tasers and a K9 dog -- who had just murdered two people and eaten one of their faces off -- but the only way they can "apprehend" black men selling CDs and loosie cigarettes on the street is to shoot them dead? I also don't buy that the "face-eating frat boy" was the perfect angel his friends and family are making him out to be when their reaction to his getting up from the table at a restaurant where the service was slow was to CALL THE COPS! (Who does that unless they're dealing with someone with a history of erratic behavior?) Read HERE.
