Trump's pardon offer to NFL players will not solve criminal justice issues

Trump's pardon offer to NFL players will not solve criminal justice issues

With the backdrop of the positive response to his pardon of Alice Johnson and the National Anthem controversy in which National Football League players are protesting police brutality and racism, President Trump in his tone-deaf way has made an offer to black athletes in the NFL to submit cases of possible injustice so he can evaluate them for potential pardons. While this sounds good it does nothing to deal with issues in the criminal justice system.

The NFL is misguided with its new National Anthem Policy

The NFL is misguided with its new National Anthem Policy

The NFL passed a resolution stating that if players are on the field that they must stand for the National Anthem. Herr are two reasons I believe that this new policy is misguided.

Hey conservatives, African Americans do know history

Hey conservatives, African Americans do know history

It amazes me when conservatives discuss the African American voters not voting Republican and feel the need to run off a set of facts that for some reason they feel African Americans don't know.

So you want to call the police on black people...

So you want to call the police on black people...

Maybe it’s time to start fining people who want to call the police on black people who are just doing normal everyday things while black.

John McCain deserves a certain level of respect!

John McCain deserves a certain level of respect!

As a US Army veteran and even as a Democrat I respect US Senator John McCain. The fact that the White House will not publicly apologize for recent disgusting comments by Kelly Sadler is horrible.

Black people, it’s okay to say hello to one another

Black people, it’s okay to say hello to one another

Being black in America can be stressful enough , especially under Trump but black people that doesn’t mean we can’t say hello to one another.

Black people don't dislike black republicans just because they are republicans

There is a small but vocal group of black republicans who would have you think that the Black Community as a whole hates them simply because they are republicans. It’s a little more complicated than that.

Who cares who Donald Glover is with?

Who cares who Donald Glover is with?

It shouldn’t matter to anyone that black actor Donald Glover is married to a white woman, but Glover should not bash black women to justify his choice.
