Narrative: “Racist” card? At church tonight we were having a roundtable discussion and a young mother offered her experience with her child that couldn’t get into the gifted-and-talented program. She went on to explain how her child was being discriminated against because he was black. That may possibly be true, it is also possible that every mother of an “A” student thinks their child should be offered the gifted program. (I know several “White” families of talented children that were denied access.)
Google Foo: Looked up the number of incarcerated males to see the race distribution among them.

Last year, more than 1,000 people were killed by police, according to Mapping Police Violence, one research group.
“Black people were disproportionately among those killed, the group found. Black people accounted for 24% of those killed, despite making up only about 13% of the population.”

Opinion: It’s awfully difficult to start judging our police when they have a very difficult job of balancing preventing crime against individual rights. The pay doesn’t make it, it has to be a personal commitment to the community? Now with every one with a camera ready to post any discord to public media, they are under extreme scrutiny. It’s also worth mentioning that China would love us to get so divided that they could take over this country as their own.
