'the law and order president's' issues with the law - past and present
If you still don't see racism in America
examine carefully how they treated President Obama. He can't even get a judge a hearing from ReTHUGs.
One of those racists is their candidate and M$Greedia is cheering him on.
Whatever the percentage cheering him on - they are all racists. They can package it any way they like - when media hosts do what that doctor did just now, I'll take you seriously.
OMFG - turn on Dr Brian Williams right now
Surgeon at Dallas hospital - a doctor who has been profiled and who knows the pain speaks.
Let's hear from the rest of American doctors - time to stop the killing and stop the guns

No cheers at the Don the Con rally when he mentioned the African-Americans killed
last week but non-stop cheers for the police
Police and protesters clash during squatters' rights protest in Berlin
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jul/10/berlin-police-protesters-clash-squatters-rights<snip>
More than 120 police officers were injured and 86 demonstrators detained during left-wing riots in Berlin, which police have described as the most aggressive and violent protests in the last five years.
Berlin police said in a statement on Sunday that protesters threw bottles, cobblestones and fireworks, destroyed cars and attacked officers, one of whom required hospital treatment. It wasnt immediately clear how many rioters were injured.
About 3,500 protesters participated in the rallies, which started on Saturday evening and lasted until early on Sunday. Activists had called for the demonstration to protest against police operations at buildings inhabited by squatters in the eastern part of the German capital last month.
About 1,800 police officers were called in to monitor the protesters.

The Reagan/Thatcher New World Order will soon be over
Bernie Sanders wil endorse Hillary Clinton tomorrow
having secured a platform for some of the important issues of the day.
Bernie will turn out to be the best thing that happened in recent times (in the sphere of economics) to make Democrats know why they are Democrats
We're not going to take it
&app=desktopHow does the man who fueled the birther movement get away
with blaming Obama and H Clinton for creating divisions that led to the Dallas slajughter.
Fuck Don the Con
Walking while black - Read this and weep -long but well worth it
http://lithub.com/walking-while-black/<snip>
Walking as a black man has made me feel simultaneously more removed from the city, in my awareness that I am perceived as suspect, and more closely connected to it, in the full attentiveness demanded by my vigilance. It has made me walk more purposefully in the city, becoming part of its flow, rather than observing, standing apart.
* * * *
But it also means that Im still trying to arrive in a city that isnt quite mine. One definition of home is that its somewhere we can most be ourselves. And when are we more ourselves but when walking, that natural state in which we repeat one of the first actions we learned? Walkingthe simple, monotonous act of placing one foot before the other to prevent fallingturns out not to be so simple if youre black. Walking alone has been anything but monotonous for me; monotony is a luxury.
A foot leaves, a foot lands, and our longing gives it momentum from rest to rest. We long to look, to think, to talk, to get away. But more than anything else, we long to be free. We want the freedom and pleasure of walking without fearwithout others fearwherever we choose. Ive lived in New York City for almost a decade and have not stopped walking its fascinating streets. And I have not stopped longing to find the solace that I found as a kid on the streets of Kingston. Much as coming to know New York Citys streets has made it closer to home to me, the city also withholds itself from me via those very streets. I walk them, alternately invisible and too prominent. So I walk caught between memory and forgetting, between memory and forgiveness.

It is why we live in the Caribbean (with all our problems)
