      Push to Resolve Fading Killings of Rights Era

      Posted by Shemuses from New York Times

      Only now, with time running out because potential witnesses and suspects are dying off, have law enforcement officials begun to take a systematic approach to unsolved civil rights crimes. The Federal Bureau of Investigation recently canvassed its field offices for the first time, compiling a list of 51 victims in 39 cases, most of which were never

      On a Trip Through History, Students Join Freedom Riders

      Posted by Shemuses from New York Times

      Air brakes hissing and motors rumbling, four buses retraced segments of the 1961 Freedom Rides on Saturday and Sunday, giving students aboard a front-seat view of a pivotal moment in civil rights history. On the rides 46 years ago, activists armed with only their convictions braved white mobs to defy segregation of interstate bus travel.

      Posted by Shemuses from World Changing

      In the Global North, though, the challenge is often quite different: here, one of the biggest challenges is our legacy of neglected neighborhoods, of polluted land and impoverished families, and the weakness of vision that legacy betrays.

    Congress's Apology for Slavery Is a Good Thing—It's Just Not Enough

    Agreed. Now that the apology has been made all can be forgiven and everyone should be happy. Lets get on with life.

    BTW – Slavery wasn’t "just the evil doings of greedy Southern planters." Slavery was a 5,000 year old institution practiced all over the world (and still is in places.)  Perhaps apologies should be demanded from a few of those places?

    Yes, good to know that our Congress is focused on such important issues while they completely ignore stupid things like the cost of energy.

    Obama T-Shirt Sparks Assault, Lawsuit

    $69 bucks for a T-Shirt with those words? And she's the one who's suing? This is just stupid.

    Well if she bought the shirt she obviously was intending to antagonize people. I don't know what she expected would happen.

    States Fail to Offer Voter Registration to Millions of Low-Income Voters

    Another rich against the poor propaganda piece. I am poor and I am registered to vote. And I’m in Florida.

    If you can’t figure out how to register, you are too stupid to vote.

    Well, it's not entirely un-true from a NON-RACIAL standpoint. Obama is as much a 'slave' to what he thinks people want of him as Clinton was (public opinion - he thinks people want 'change,' even if he isn't entirely sure what that change is. Unless maybe it's his mind, which he's shown is quite quick to change!). He's really not an independent entity, except when it comes to things like abortion, where he goes beyond what even many pro-choice supporters are comfortable with, voting against the right of children who SURVIVE abortion to live. In-cred-i-ble.

    Blacks Banned from Bars in Beijing?

    Whether this story is real or not (and I am suspecting that it is not based upon fact) there actually is an issue with expat Nigerians in SE Asia who have made themselves, as a group, very, very unwelcome.
