California Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters claimed her Senate colleagues, Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va, and Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., "don't care" about minorities and Black people during an MSNBC interview with host Aaron Gilchrist Sunday. Waters blasted the senators for giving the Republicans the opportunity to filibuster the Democrats' sweeping voting bill that passed in the House Thursday. Both Sinema and Manchin have said they oppose eliminating the filibuster. "They have sent the signal. They have been clear about it. They don't care about minorities. They don't care about Blacks. They don't care about people in their own districts who they're going...

The Kenosha County Eye has obtained a proposed Plea agreement for Dominick Black related to the Kyle Rittenhouse case. Dominick Black was Kyle Rittenhouse’s friend who purchased the rifle Kyle carried and shot three attackers in self-defense, in 2020, during the riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The rifle was purchased legally under Federal law because the rifle was never “substantially transferred” to Kyle Rittenhouse. It was kept in a locked safe in Wisconsin until the riots in Kenosha. It was not a “dangerous weapon” illegally provided to a person under the age of 18, in Wisconsin law, because it is a...

Host Whoopi Goldberg said Tuesday on ABC’s “The View” that black people were “where we were under the Emancipation Proclamation” while discussing voting rights with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY).

I just want – I want to ask you this because it’s irritating me to the nth degree. Why are we still talking about my right as an American to vote?”

Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., became the latest Democrat to attack Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., in personal terms on Monday, accusing him of not caring about African Americans and other minority groups "as a White man." The far-left Progressive Caucus member ripped Manchin on CNN over his opposition to Build Back Better, the $1.75 trillion social policy and climate package backed by the Biden White House, saying he was "tremendously frustrated" and "infuriated" with the West Virginia Democrat. "It went from 3.5 trillion to 1.75 trillion [dollars] because him, his special interests, his donors, and lobbyists were cutting the bill for...

On August 25, 2020, Kyle Rittenhouse defended himself from numerous attackers with an AR15 type (Smith & Wesson M&P 15) rifle. The rifle was not legally owned by Kyle. He had legal possession of it. This was due to a quirk in the law. People under the age of 18 have always been able to buy rifles from private owners and possess them, but they are not allowed to buy them from licensed federal dealers. Kyle Rittenhouse had given money to Dominick Black to purchase the rifle from a licensed federal dealer, with the understanding he would transfer ownership and...

For the past two years, the mainstream media has given tons of coverage to the Black Lives Matter movement — and rightly so. More than 80 percent of black Americans, including me, support the movement, especially in the wake of George Floyd’s death in police custody. But the media is missing many nuances among African-Americans. For one, we don’t all vote alike. Yes, almost 90 percent of black voters went to bat for the Biden-Harris administration last year. But that leaves 10 percent of black voters who didn’t. Meanwhile, 25 percent of black Democrats actually consider themselves “conservative” and 43...

A Columbia University doctoral student was knifed to death Thursday night near the Ivy League college's historic Manhattan campus - one of three people attacked by an 'ecstatic' gang member on a violent stabbing spree.

They issued him a written complaint. Fordham paper The Observer reports: [The two] sent [Christopher] an email after class expressing that they felt disheartened and disrespected… The instructor insisted it was an “innocent mistake.” But as it happens, Christopher is...

Students at the University of Florida believed the name “Black Friday” should be changed until they learned that it has nothing to do with race. Referencing a November 18 opinion article in the Chicago Tribune called “Talk of the County: Black Friday should be renamed so it is not ‘discriminating and profiling against black people,’” Campus Reform reporter Ophelie Jacobson asked students at the schools Gainesville campus if they supported changing the name of Black Friday — the day after Thanksgiving on which millions of Americans storm retail shops to get holiday deals for gifts and other items.

ABC legal analyst Sunny Hostin said Monday on ABC’s “The View” that she believes if Kyle Rittenhouse were black, he would not be alive, much less acquitted of murder and other charges after he shot and killed two men and injured a third during a Black Lives Matter protest last year in Kenosha, WI. Co-host Joy Behar asked, “Sunny, if he were black would he be free now?”

Fox News analyst Juan Williams said on Friday on “Special Report” that if Kyle Rittenhouse were a black teen, he would have been treated differently. Discussing Rittenhouse’s not guilty verdict, Williams said, “Well, I think one of the realities is that the jury made a decision. And I think a considered decision after lengthy three days, obviously, looking at the facts of the case and looking at the law. I think that’s where we have to go. I think there are lots of people who are concerned that someone crossing into another state with a weapon, you know, really a...

Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Princeton University professor and network contributor Eddie Glaude, Jr. said that the judge who decided the deceased should not be called victims during the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse shows the criminal justice system has bias. Co-host Mika Brzezinski said, “The judge in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, the teenager who shot and killed two protesters last year in Kenosha, Wisconsin, during a protest against police brutality has ruled prosecutors cannot refer to the people he killed as victims. But the defense is allowed to call them arsonists or looters, or rioters. While laying the ground...
