…W e all know Karen. She is the minority of 30 to 40-year-old white women whose voice is loud despite how misguided and misinformed she is.

…now are nothing new. From many past demonstrations — including the 2014 Ferguson protests in Missouri that ush- ered in the Black Lives Matter move- ment to the 1992 Los Angeles riots to the 1965 Watts riots — we are reminded that the stringent acts of racial profil- ing, oppression and violence enacted by police officers on the Black community is a centuries-old problem. As discussed in a recent editorial, modern policing agencies in ...…
…there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality.

The truth is, when you wish upon Disney’s star … well, it might ...…
