AFRICANGLOBE – After the disturbing executions of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile at the hands of law enforcement officers this week, racial bias and police brutality have once again become heated subjects in the US. Several online commenters have noted that the safety of Black Americans doesn’t seem to have improved much since Jim Crow laws were struck down in 1965. In fact, US police seem to be killing more Black citizens today than were lynched at the height of US segregation.

  1. JCF, I did not say I would do it!But when someone spreads as much hate and evil as he does, I can't imagine it not happening!Oh, and if our host is concerned about such a comment, he has the right and ability to deleate it!I will NOT censor my self!

  2. Peepless, also, about the slaughter of Thai Buddhists in southern Thailand and the endless kidnappings in the Philippines by Abu Saif. Not a whiff of peepage from the Western front in China, where bombings aren't rare at all. I wish, the next time the press plays gotcha with a Republican candidate on some obscure foreign policy i.e. geography question, the candidate would turn it around and ask why theses stories aren't being covered.
