How Society Sees Black Educated Men

 

It's an open secret among African-American men and boys that people are often afraid of them. For black Americans, experiences of racial discrimination vary by education level and gender.

A majority of black adults say they have been discriminated against because of their race, but this varies by education. Roughly eight-in-ten blacks with at least some college experience (81%) say they’ve experienced racial discrimination, at least from time to time, including 17% who say this happens regularly. Among blacks with a high school education or less, these shares are lower – 69% and 9%, respectively.

As of lately, even I have been running into altercation dealing with racism. Being educated and a employer in my city has come with many challenges. I have received backlash from both Whites and Blacks.

Why Is Google Helping To Bring Down R. Kelly?

 

A newly unsealed court document related to an alleged associate of singer R Kelly shows how Google can hand over data about what people search to the police.

The court filing was submitted in July but unsealed on Wednesday. It details a police investigation into an arson attack on a car outside of the home of a witness involved in the ongoing sexual racketeering case against R Kelly.

The court document showed that investigators linked Michael Williams — a family relation of R Kelly's former publicist — to the arson by sending something called a "keyword warrant" to Google. Specifically, police asked Google for any data on "users who had searched the address of the residence close in time to the arson."

The statute currently keeps police personnel files confidential and basically out of the public's reach.

Remy Ma Is Facing Four Alleged Assault Charges

Remy Ma is back in the eyes of law enforcement again. It's now being reported that prosecutors have now formally filed four charges against her for the alleged assault on L&HH star Brittney Taylor.

The Bronx emcee has been charged with 2 counts of assault in the third degree, 1 count of aggravated harassment in the second degree, and 1 count of harassment in the second degree, all of which are misdemeanors.

One new development in the case is that prosecutors have updated the time of which the alleged attack occurred, moving it up an hour to align with the time that Remy was in Irving Plaza for the benefit concert.

Remy has been offered a deal to plead guilty to the assault to have the other charges dropped, a plea that would also require her to enter a long-term anger management program.

Police later caught two of the suspects, while one fled in a car. The two suspects have since been booked on burglary and weapons charges.

Dave Chappelle Talks Police Brutality

A city council meeting in Yellow Springs, Ohio had the town's most famous resident show up to speak on the matter of policing recently, when Dave Chappelle appeared to share his unique experience of having grown up there and seen the change in the culture of local law enforcement.

Citizens of the small liberal Dayton suburb had been convening to review a scandal that has rocked the town, leading to the resignation of Police Chief David Hale, to "heal the rift" caused after officers violently broke up the annual New Years Ball Drop, in the early hours of January 1. The department drew heat, with protesters livid over the use of their cruisers to disperse the crowd and the subsequent tasering of two black men.

Chappelle spoke of being present at the event, but having left early because the vibe wasn't right. After imparting his gratitude to officers who have been nothing but courteous to him since his return to settle down in the place he was reared in, Chappelle laid into the force, reminding residents on hand that there was a time when it felt as though each officer had a personal connection with the families in the community; a sense he no longer gets. "Now, we're being policed by what feels like an alien force," he said, calling the New Year's Eve incident a "huge gaffe."

Chappelle then turned to politics, encouraging the council to consider the position Yellow Springs is in to shine as an example of progressive policing in the current political atmosphere. "I would beseech the council to look deeply and to look hard, because this is a golden opportunity. Literally, it could kill the game. In this Trump era, it gives us an opportunity to show everybody that local politics reigns supreme," he said. "We can make our corner of the world outstanding. So I'm just begging you to find a candidate that matches the culture of this town, which is renowned for being incredibly unique."

After the resignation of Commissioner Hale, one of the officers involved in the New Year's Eve incident, Allison Saurber, also resigned. The second officer said to have taken part in the tasing, R.J. Hawley, was reportedly injured at the function and has been on administrative leave since.
