- Tyre Nichols - Still So Much to LearnAnother victim with a different name - Tyre Nichols. The newly released videos of his police beating captured the brutality that his family and authorities had already foreshadowed: He was punched and kicked while being restrained. He pleaded to go home and repeatedly yelled for his mom. As a nation, when will we truly learn from these seemingly constant issues of mistreatment at the hand of authorities - entrusted to protect.0 comments0
- Do You Go to Church? Why?Recent studies have confirmed what most of us have already figured out. People aren’t going to church the way they used to. Attendance and involvement are down across every denomination and in every demographic. No age group, no ethnic group, no area of our country has been immune from this new reality.0 comments0
- Defund the Police? No, Defund Stupidity!Liberals and activists want to defund the police. But what do communities of color want - in the wake of rising crime? Communities of color do not want to defund the police. They want to defund liberals and activists that are nowhere to be found when there children are murdered by criminals - that also want to defund the police, so they can prey on the innocent. Defund stupidity!0 comments0
- Queen Elizabeth: The Universe Changes the FutureQueen Elizabeth was not supposed to be queen. Her father, King George VI was the second in line for the throne after his elder brother King Edward VIII back in the 1930s. However, Edward decided to abdicate the throne according to rules and protocols of the royal family as he wanted to marry twice-divorced Wallis Spencer, who was socially and politically unacceptable as a prospective British queen – in 1936.0 comments0
- The World is A Mess! Mass Shootings and Racial Attacks to Name A FewA gunman perched on a rooftop opened fire on crowds attending suburban Chicago's Highland Park Independence Day parade, killing seven and wounding nearly 50 community members. A black man is shot at 90 times while fleeing police in Akron, Ohio. The former Japanese Prime Minister is assassinated. White liberals showing their true colors in racially attacking Clarence Thomas. What the heck?0 comments0
- What was the Supreme Court Thinking?The Supreme Court just overturned one of the most famous and controversial rulings in modern history. A five-justice majority of Republican appointees ruled that Roe v. Wade and a following case, Planned Parenthood v. Casey, were wrongly decided. It’s a political earthquake - one that will reverberate for months and years to come.0 comments0
- The Gun Control Debate: What are the Real Issues?While stricter gun control laws may make mass shootings slightly less common, research suggests that the rhetoric of both parties may not tell the full story. Rather than federal gun control laws, policies that focus on violence prevention at the community or individual levels may be more effective at preventing mass shooting deaths.0 comments0
- The Fourth Amendment: Limited Student Rights in SchoolsThe Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution protects people against unreasonable searches and seizures. Public school students have constitutional rights just like everyone else. However, certain rights are limited. The right against unreasonable searches and seizures is one such right that faces some restrictions and/or limitations. Let's discuss it with Tanisha Miller.0 comments0
- The Fourth Amendment: When Can the Police "Search" You?The Fourth Amendment requires the government to obtain a search warrant based on probable cause prior to conducting a search of people or their things. We will discuss what this means via the United States Supreme Court case of Terry versus Ohio.0 comments0
- Roe vs. Wade: Abortion - Your Thoughts - Pros and ConsRoe v Wade is the court decision that protects the right to an abortion in the US up to the point a fetus can survive outside the womb, widely regarded as 24 weeks gestation. A full-term pregnancy is 39 weeks gestation. The 1973 ruling is among the most controversial in American history and has been subjected to many legal challenges over the year – but has survived until now. Let's explore the pros and cons of abortion. Your thoughts?0 comments0
- Let's Think About the Declaration of IndependenceThe Declaration of Independence was written in 1776 by Thomas Jefferson. It was a list of grievances against the king of England intended to justify separation from British rule, and it expressed "self-evident truths" of liberty and equality. Let's explore it from another perspective.0 comments0
- The Infamous Dred Scott US Supreme Court DecisionThe Dred Scott case, also known as Dred Scott v. Sandford, was a decade-long fight for freedom by a Black enslaved man named Dred Scott. The case persisted through several courts and ultimately reached the U.S. Supreme Court, whose decision incensed abolitionists, gave momentum to the anti-slavery movement and served as a stepping stone to the Civil War.0 comments0
- Why the Miranda vs. Arizona US Supreme Court Decision is ImportantReading an accused his rights is now an ingrained part of law enforcement procedure and considered integral to protecting everyone’s Fifth Amendment rights, but it wasn’t always that way. History is loaded with examples of coerced confessions, dating back to the Spanish Inquisition and even earlier to the Roman Empire. Today, we often take the protections afforded by our Bill of Rights for granted, including our Fourteenth Amendment due process rights and our Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.0 comments0
- Continued Impact of the US Supreme Court Decision Plessy vs. FergusonIn 1896, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld state-imposed racial segregation in Plessy v. Ferguson, a civil rights case involving Louisiana train cars. One of the most famous Supreme Court decisions, the case solidified the "separate but equal" doctrine as the law of the land and allowed racially divisive "Jim Crow" regulations to take hold in southern states.0 comments0
- Why Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson Will Make a DifferencePresident Biden has just announced Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson as his Supreme Court nominee to replace Justice Stephen Breyer. In 2022, 160 years after the Emancipation Proclamation, we are on the verge of having our first Black female Associate Justice. Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is extraordinarily accomplished and should be on any president’s list of highly qualified, exemplary High Court candidates, not because of her gender or race but because of her resume and her qualifications.0 comments0
- Voting Rights - Dr. King Told Y'all to Do the Right Thing!Federal voting rights legislation died in the Senate on Wednesday night after Democrats failed to unite their caucus behind a plan to change the filibuster rule, which would have allowed them to circumvent GOP opposition to the bill. Had a simple majority vote been allowed to advance the bill, its passage would have undoubtedly been successful. But Republicans blocked the voting rights bill using the filibuster, which enables 40 senators to block any piece of legislation they disagree with. The "Letter from Birmingham Jail" is an open letter written on April 16, 1963, by Martin Luther King Jr. It says that people have a moral responsibility to break unjust laws and to take direct action rather than waiting potentially forever for justice.0 comments0
- Emmett Till: The Strength Of Mamie TillIn the summer of 1955, 14-year-old Emmett Till was tortured and lynched by a mob of white men while visiting relatives in Money, Mississippi. The reaction of his mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, to his violent murder galvanized the nation and forever changed the course of the civil rights movement in the United States.0 comments0
