Freeway: Crack in the System
Freeway: Crack in the System – movie poster
The movie explains how the CIA used money from the sale of cocaine from Nicaragua, sold into Los Angles, to fund a war in Nicaragua against communism.
Los Angles police were raiding dealers and taking their money. When they got to Rick Ross, they let the K9 loose on him while he was handcuffed. The dog bit him up. When Rick kicked the dog, the police started beating him.
The whole movie is eye opening. It has 5 stars out of 5 stars on Netflix.

“Donald Trump is the new face of white supremacy,” says hate crime expert.
By RANDY BLAZAK
August 24, 2015
Before you think this article is “just one liberal’s opinion,” let me briefly say I have dedicated my life to studying racism. I earned my PhD from Emory University in 1995 after spending several years doing ethnographic field studies of white supremacist groups. I have published books and articles in peer-reviewed journals on the subject and have appeared on more TV shows than I can remember discussing how hate works. In my 20 years at Portland State University, I interviewed scores of committed racists, from teenage skinheads to racist murderers and founders of Nazi prison gangs. So when I say that presidential candidate Donald Trump is a racist hate-monger it’s not just a political pejorative. He has a constitutional right to hold and express racist views, but using those views to manipulate the intellectually vulnerable and mobilize active bigots requires a coherent response. As an expert on hate, I am more than comfortable stating that either Trump is a virulent racist or that he is willing to perform racism and use racism of others to advance his political position.

Police violence doesn't happen in a vacuum. It's a systemic problem rooted in Dr. King's "triple evils" of poverty, racism & militarism.

Separate & Unequal: This is why political cartoons matter
Pulitzer-Prize-winning political cartoonist for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution – and avid Daily Kos reader – Mike Lukovich has created an iconic political cartoon. In my view, it’s the most powerful, evocative visual representation of the injustices America has witnessed, and the black community has suffered, these past two weeks.
Here’s Separate, Unequal
