“JEFFERSON CITY, MO – Faced with an American Civil Liberties Union lawsuit, a political operative who has failed twice before to place an anti-affirmative action initiative on the Missouri ballot has abandoned his latest attempt to rewrite the state constitution to ban equal opportunity programs. ”
What an idiot. I wonder if he is at the teabagger extravaganza. I wish we had a law against agitating against a minority here in the U.S. like they do in Sweden.
Last week the Web site UsedWinnipeg.com ran an advertisement headlined “Native Extraction Service” with a photograph of three young Native boys. The service offered to round up and remove First Nations youth like wild animals, and “relocate them to their habitat.”
The text of the ad read: “Have you ever had the experience of getting home to find those pesky little buggers hanging outside your home, in the back alley or on the corner??? Well fear no more, with my service I will simply do a harmless relocation.

Felony disfranchisement laws have a disproportionate impact on people and communities of color not only in New York, but also nationwide. Indeed, close to 1.5 million black men are disfranchised due to felony convictions. If incarceration rates hold steady, three in 10 of the next generation of black men will be stripped of their right to vote at some point in their lives.
Fuck Yes. Universal Healthcare NOW!
