Geraldo Rivera’s outrageous remarks today when he said that slain teenager Trayvon Martin was partially responsible for his death because he was wearing a hoodie. All he wanted was some Skittles & ice tea. This case brings to light the realities faced by black people everyday.
And Obama’s Creepy Executive Order. President writes a law to give him the right to foster ‘cooperation between the defense and commercial sectors’ during peacetime. The entire economic sector can not be controlled by the US government.
