Oh great, black people are getting tasered and arrested for jaywalking now. Yep, we should all feel safer these days… There is some pretty saucy news coming out of Florida as new evidence released in the case of George Zimmerman for the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.

Shouldn’t the Voting Rights Act of 1965 be Obsolete?

Before I get into this one, allow me to say that this morning’s episode of MSNBC’s Up w/ Chris Hayes was epic; it was quite possibly the best episode I’ve watched to date. That in itself says a lot since I’m a huge fan of the show; and, the truth is, the show offers a [...]
