Smiley and West
“With West away, Smiley dissects the government shutdown with Howard University political science professor Michael Fauntroy.
Plus, in celebration of our 3rd anniversary, highlights from our three original conversations with Garry Shandling, Frank Rich, and George Clinton.
And a listener from Kentucky takes Smiley to task for going too soft on Sen. Rand Paul during their conversation last week.” –PRI

Man Punches Female Store Clerk In The Face Over 41 Cents, Caught On Video: http://t.co/rSBzD0k4Ul via @youtube

The punch was NOT over the 41 cents.
The punch was over the disrespect. He probably waited in line for who knows how long, then when he got to the register realized he only had $1.00
She didn’t try to help him by giving him 41 cents. Instead she completely disrespected him IN FRONT of a line of customers by telling him to get out (like a dog). In other words – that he is not worth respecting, nor worth 41 cents.
She should have said “I’m sorry sir. I don’t have 41 cents.” Then, ask the customers behind him, “Hey, does anyone have 41 cents to help us out here?”
Two attitudes that don’t get along: Arrogance and Pride

Herman Wallace is dying, so he is not really free. His life is over.
How many European-Americans have been held in solitary confinement for anywhere near this long?
Solitary confinement is cruel and unusual punishment.
This story is further evidence that the U.S. does not apply punishment equally across racial lines.
In the U.S. we often hear about human rights violoations in other countries, but how often does the U.S. address our own human rights violations?

Anyone who recalls the horrifying scene from the 2004 film ‘Crash’ in which a police officer performed a ‘body cavity search’ on an African American woman, during a traffic stop …
Apparently these type of searches happen when the officer suspects drugs in the car or on the person.
Seriously cops. How many people would store drugs in their private parts instead of in their car, and simply refuse any search without a warrant???
Apparently, in the U.S. you can be physically violated when only suspected of a crime.
These are two videos that made it to the media. How many instances have happened that were not recorded or didn’t make it to the media?
