“The professor grabbed my tablet and closed it on my hands while I was opening my document and then proceeded to try to take my tablet from me while one of my hands was sandwiched in between the tablet and the keyboard. In dismay I responded, …”
Have you ever had a professor grab something out of your hand?

A Southern California woman faces a murder charge in the fatal beating of a woman outside a Santa Ana night club last weekend.
Allegedly Pham accidently walked in front of a camera.
From the video it seems like a mob attacked her.

“The explosion of online race talk about Asian Americans lately is enough to make your head spin. Are we progressive or conservative? Are we rich or poor? Are we privileged or oppressed? And the thorniest of all: are we allies or colluders on the question of anti-blackness?”

Canadian teenage pop sensation, Justin Bieber, appears to be suffering from “affluenza.” But if he isn’t careful, he will be on a one-way ticket to Canada.

The teen superstar is here on a temporary visa, an O-1, which is usually reserved for foreign nationals with extraordinary ability. There are several ways in which he can be subject to deportation. While he is in jail, ICE could place a hold on him for his DUI charge in Florida, and take Bieber into custody even before he is convicted of any charges. If Bieber is prosecuted and convicted of the felony charge in California for egging his neighbor’s home, depending on the prison term, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) can initiate deportation proceedings, and possibly deport him to Canada.”
Let me know when the deportation proceedings begin.
Otherwise, I see U.S. Double Standards / White Priviledge / Institutionalized Inequity in the Criminal Justice System
