Police Escort Black Merit Scholar Out of Graduation After Refusing to Remove Kente Cloth – Atlanta Black Star
An 18-year-old Black student was removed from graduation after he refused to take off his kente cloth. Nyree Holmes attended the diverse but predominately white Cosumnes Oaks High School in Elk Grove, California. In a story he shared on Twitter May 24, the merit scholar says he was able to walk across the stage, but police officers greeted him at the other end.
This is ridiculous. You can’t tell me no girls had jewelry on or that they wouldn’t let a Polynesian student wear a lei. Good on this kid for standing up for himself. I hope he and his family sue the school system so hard it goes bankrupt.
The Two Asian Americas
In the eyes of some, Asians in America are, Lee writes, “perpetual foreigners at worst, or probationary Americans at best.” If Asians sometimes remain silent in the face of racism, and if some seem to work unusually hard in the face of this difficult history, it is not because they want to be part of a “model minority” but because they have often had no other choice.

Obama Meets Prince George for First Time
While I’m on my royals kick…
And as a side note: Man alive, the mayor of London…. Somebody deserves a swift, hard punch in the jaw!!! So, so, freaking disrespectful! As an American that offends me. What a total fucking douche-bag ass-wipe. So if Obama is half some country he never lived in, what does being English make you, Mr. Mayor? A little French and half German? Asshole. Obama is a Kenyan and whatever-the-hell-his-mother’s-brand-of-European-ancestry-is AMERICAN. 100%. Douche-nozzle.

16 West Point Cadets in Raised-Fist Photo Won’t Be Punished – ABC News
“Will there ever be a time when black women can unapologetically show that they are strong proud and supportive of one another without their action being interpreted as an act of militant defiance?” Essence magazine editor-in-chief Vanessa De Luca asked in a Wall Street Journal op-ed this week.
Indeed, Caslen noted that other cadets have used clenched fists to show support for a team or pride at serving their country. So did he, along with hundreds of West Point staffers and graduates on the night before last year’s Army-Navy football game, he added.

Unless West Point also investigates every time a group of white cadets get together to make sure it isn’t a fucking lynch-mob then they need to drop this racist shit right the fuck now.
What pundits keep getting wrong about Donald Trump and the working class.
The truth is that it’s inaccurate to talk about Trump’s “working-class appeal.” What Trump has, instead, is a message tailored to a conservative portion of white workers. These voters aren’t the struggling whites of Appalachia or the old Rust Belt, in part because those workers don’t vote, and there’s no evidence Trump has turned them out. Instead, Trump is winning those whites with middle-class incomes. Given his strength in unionized areas like the Northeast, some are blue collar and culturally working class. But many others are not. Many others are what we would simply call Republicans.

Obama commutes sentences of 58 non-violent drug convicts
“It just doesn’t make sense to require a non-violent drug offender to serve 20 years, or in some cases, life, in prison,” Obama said in a blog post.
Many of the convicts had been serving time for crack cocaine. Crack users have for years faced far steeper penalties than users of powder cocaine, even though the two substances are molecularly similar. Critics have said the disparity has unfairly hurt poor African-American communities.
Obama has pushed to reform the U.S. criminal justice system to reduce the number of people serving long sentences for such crimes, and it is one of the few issues for which the Democratic president has received support from Republican lawmakers.
