Hillary Clinton FULL Speech: Ready to Move Forward, Unite Party. Women must save America.

Paul Ryan Calls Donald Trump’s Attack on Judge ‘Racist,’ but Still Backs Him - The New York Times

Ryan statement is a perfect analogue for racism in America. A large swath of White people have both have openly tolerated racism while sometimes condemning it. The founding fathers, child molester and abuser of little boys in his nail factory, Thomas Jefferson is the model. Read his "Notes from Virginia". Like the German's who tolerated the Nazi, the Cambodians that tolerated the Khmer Rouge and the Hutu who tolerated the genocide of the Tutsi. Thankfully we no longer have genocide in America but Andrew Jackson is still on our $20.00. This is finally changing but I have such a bill in my pocket. In America whites have the privilege of tolerating, and pretending to hold their nose, while benefitting from racism. My hope lies with white women. Many only whom know the damage that sexism still inflicts.Women must defeat Trump.

Hillary Clinton’s Triumph, and Burden - The New York Times

"Though the results of Tuesday’s primaries have not yet been tallied, it appears that Hillary Clinton is set to make history as the first female presidential nominee of a major political party.



Mrs. Clinton’s name on the ballot in November would be another milestone in the quest for women’s rights, which, as she noted years ago, are human rights. This achievement is worth cheering by all, regardless of party, because it further opens the door to female leadership in every sphere.



The sheer muscle Mrs. Clinton put into her bid sets an example of hard work for others eager to follow her path into public service....."

Donald Trump may have saved his ire for others, but black people aren't fooled | Rebecca Carroll | Opinion | The Guardian

"Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump has been fairly straightforward regarding how he feels in general about black people in America – he failed to swiftly and effectively disavow former KKK grand wizard David Duke in May, referred to the Black Lives Matter movement as “trouble” last fall, and during the course of his campaign other things have surfaced, such as his idea to air a “white v black” season of The Apprentice.



Publicly, however, his most brazen racist remarks have been directed primarily at Muslims (a relatively small percentage of whom are black) and Mexicans. If it’s a backhanded political strategy to court the black vote (which he will ultimately need), he has underestimated the strength of our bond with other groups who have been marginalized and discriminated against.



Still, it’s oddly perplexing that in a country whose culture is so firmly rooted in systemic anti-black racism, Trump, who never hesitates to snatch the low hanging fruit of bigotry, hasn’t gone into hyper-drive about black people in America – all the standard black people tropes seem right in his wheelhouse. Of course, just as President Richard Nixon’s use of the term “silent majority” was widely understood as code for “white people”, Trump’s campaign slogan “Make America Great Again” refers to a racially divided past. Alongside his marquee plan to build a border wall to keep immigrants out of the United States, it’s pretty clearly that what he means by that is Make America White Again. But black folks still don’t seem to really be on his radar – as either a problem or a target market."

Muhammad Ali: Why they called him 'The Greatest' and why I called him my friend | Jerry Izenberg | NJ.com

"The people.



With Muhammad Ali, it was always the people.



It didn't matter whether they were rich or poor, black or white, celebrity-famous, blue-collar weary or welfare poor. It didn't matter what language they spoke, what God they worshiped, what gender they were. Well, in this last group I'd have to say that the ladies had a little edge.



I have been in this business more than 60 years and shared time with most of the great ones — Pele and Joe Louis, Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams and Mickey Mantle, with Joe Willie Namath and Vince Lombardi, and even Jim Thorpe in his declining years. But in all that time, I never knew an athlete who could stop a room, a building or even a city street dead in its tracks, the way Muhammad Ali could and did.
