Rachel Maddow: Santorums incorrect correction on UC schools
Some people think I am being unfair or mean when I repeatedly say that conservatism is largely a political philosophy held by ignorant people. People who are not aware of the facts. Hear is a clear example of the truth of my position.

The Associated Press reported that thousands celebrated in Sierra Leone after learning that Taylor had been convicted for his role in the country's brutal civil war. Countless survivors bear emotional and physical scars from the war. Rebels hacked off the limbs of many of their victims....

Bill O'Reilly To Trayvon Martin's Mother Sybrina Fulton: Was I Wrong To Say That Al Sharpton Should Apologize? (VIDEO)
It is sad to see that there are Americans who still listen to a person like Bill O'Reilly. The fact alone demonstrates that America still has a long way to travel to achieve the goal of becoming a more perfect union.

This racist Document was written by a contributor to the National Review, the leading establishment, Republican magazine in the nation. The National review has denounced this document but the writer has been an acknowledged racist for a long time. The problem with Republicans is that a large part of their coalition thinks like this and they tolerate it and play to it in their campaigns.

Gil Noble Changed My Life - Gil Noble, Long Time Host Of WABC TV's Like It Is Dead At 80
Gil Noble spoke at the Freshman Orientation Meeting organized by the Black Student Union, at Hunter College, City University of New York, in September of 1971, my first day in college. He was introduced by the renowned late historian John Henrik Clarke. He changed my life that day. He spoke about the struggles of peoples of African decent in global terms and urged us as incoming students to take up the mantle of struggle.
What struck me that day, more than anything else was that this mild mannered man, the second African American to host a nightly news show on network television in New York City was speaking the language of Pan Africanism and revolutionary struggle. He spoke about the legacy of Malcolm X and the Black Nationalist movement and the Civil Rights Movement as part of a global struggle against colonialism and imperialism. He linked the anti-colonial wars in Rhodesia, Angola, Mozambique and Guinea Bissau with the struggle against police brutality in New York City. He compared Soweto, in apartheid South Africa, to Bedford Stuyvesant in Brooklyn New York . I was enthralled. I had watched him on television many times but I had no idea until that day who he really was.
My mother had always stressed to me that assimilation into the dominate, white culture, was a prerequisite for success. His speech, that day, illustrated to me, in living color, that she was not necessarily correct. It was possible to be both successful and true to yourself. This was a lesson I never forgot.
