Finally saw Selma

Amazing that after 50 years,the racist assholes are still pulling the same shit today. Especially in Alabama.

To bad Roberts, Alito and Kennedy didn't see it. (or they don't care about giving a "the sky is green" ruling) History will not be kind to them.

Obama was silent about getting the Voting Rights Act re-instituted. I realize the Repug would never have done it, by why did he not raise a fuss?

Sadly M$Greedia decides what will be covered prominently.
I have long been convinced that for financial and ideological reasons, many important topics are not given fair coverage
