     1. Rosa Parks

        (Achievement.org)

     2. "I do the very best I can to look upon life with optimism and hope and looking forward to a better day, but I don't think there is anything such as complete happiness. It pains me that there is still a lot of Klan activity and racism. I think when you say you're happy, you have everything that you need and everything that you want, and nothing more to wish for. I haven't reached that stage yet."
        Her simple act of civil disobedience in 1955 sparked a chain of a events that changed America, well, at least on the surface — and we're all about appearances and superficialities in this land. As Ms. Parks said herself, she still wasn't happy living in America. Neither am I. She was 92 years old.

     1. ARE Blacks A Criminal Race? Surprising Statistics

        (HuffPo)

     2. The better question for public debate is this: do the actual government statistics bear out the claim that Blacks contribute disproportionately to the crime rate? Or is this largely a stereotype, which is driven by the disproportionate rate of ARRESTS and CONVICTIONS of Black people? And does the over-focus on Black crime conceal an alarmingly high crime rate within the white population?
        Skip the story and check the stats, which conclude: the justice system is a meat-grinder for blacks, and disproportionally soft on white crime. And just who runs the justice system? That's the topic for an upcoming post.
