Travesty in ''Post-Racial'' America: the Zimmerman Verdict

Dr. Ron Daniels, Truthout: There is no doubt in the minds of many African-Americans that if a black man had killed an unarmed white teenager, that black man would have been found guilty. Such is the state of race relations and racial justice in ''post-racial'' America.

Why Were Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman Held to Two Different Standards of Justice?

The Daily Take, The Thom Hartmann Program: Why was George Zimmerman held to a different standard and allowed to stand his ground and kill an unarmed teenager without penalty? Nobody ever seriously suggested that Trayvon Martin had a right to stand his ground.

Unjust Justice

Lewis R. Gordon, LRG Blog: In the murder of Trayvon Martin, race was not just a single factor, it was the most important. While media pundits and the prosecution tried again and again to divorce the case from its racial implications, it is precisely Martin s race that secured George Zimmerman his freedom and posthumously convicted an unarmed teenager of his own murder.

Let s End James Crow, Esq.

The Daily Take, The Thom Hartmann Program: Institutional, cultural racism keeps us divided and perpetuates the racial caste system that has been the shame of this country since its founding. The problem is poverty caused by racism, and the time do something about it is now.

The Continuing US War on the Darker Skinned

Adam Hudson, Truthout: American militarism against darker-skinned peoples has a long and dishonorable history. Because of whom it oppresses, both at home and abroad, directly and via military contractors, US militarism is systematically racist. And the liberal media fail to connect the dots.

The Age of Hyper-Racism: White Supremacy as the White Knight of Capitalism

Michael Ortiz, Truthout: White supremacy is a fluid social framework that has morphed from the system of slavery to the system of Jim Crow, ultimately to the contemporary system of color-blind racism and mass incarceration, changing form but not the intensity of racial power.

Slavery s Legacies of Racism and Dehumanization of Labor Still Poison the US

Mark Karlin, Truthout: The popular movie and 1853 book, Twelve Years a Slave, about a free man s devastating experience is a timely reminder of the legacy of slavery and the lingering pressure of white male privilege that still perpetuates equality today.
