1. Another day, another dead American at the hands of the police. Americans killed by Isis today? Zero

When will our president, members of Congress, DOJ, say the words the President said today about the attack on Paris regarding the over 800 Americans killed by our 'civilian police' so far this year? That this is an 'assault on our humanity'??

I keep hoping. Against hope!

RIP to yet another young, AA man and the creation of another AA grieving mother!

2. You can NOT have equality if your economic base is a dictatorship.

Capitalism always has to have some group of people to abuse and scapegoat. Without the abused class, the Top 1% can Not make loads of more money.

Today we have evolved into shooting down the abused class to keep them in their place. It does Not have to be like this. It should NOT be like this.
