feidin Santana very smart guy. very brave man

Very smart that he left the police station and didn't turn over the phone. He wanted to do the right thing and he did. He is correct that he should fear for his well being. I would be proud to have a courageous man like that in my community.

A conversation about the speech

I watched the speech at the gym and had a conversation with a couple of other white folks about the speech. my neighbor on the treadmill made comments that obama was blaming white people who had nothing to do with past institutional racism since we passed all those laws years ago. Oh dear.
We actually had a civil discussion but what rendered her speechless is I asked her since she believes there is no longer institutional racism then what does she attribute the disproportionate unemployment rate, incarceration rate, lower income, etc etc among black folks to? I said to her so if you think we are past the effects of goverment and societal racism then do you believe that black folks are just not as smart or lazy or more criminally inclined than white folks? She was literally speechless.

Another great MHP show

I love her. Another great show covering Paris. This is the conversation you don't see elsewhere on cable news.
Her show rarely misses the mark.

White silence and MHP show

She's doing a segment that touches on this right now. Many excellent points.
