Uncovering the truth behind the phrase '40 acres and a mule'
In the years following the Civil War, formerly enslaved Black Americans in the South were promised "40 acres and a mule" to provide them with land and resources for economic self-sufficiency. For many that promise was never fulfilled, and a recent investigation by the Center for Public Integrity found that more than 1,200 people received - and then lost - their land under the program. April Simpson, a reporter with the Center for Public Integrity and co-author of the "40 Acres and a Lie" report, joins "Created Equal" to discuss her findings.

    The answer is to work to make sure more good people are carrying guns. When people are shooting back, not only does that deter future crime, it shortens the duration of the crime in which the shots are being fired. Defensive Gun Uses save between 2-10x as many lives, each year, in the USA as guns take, and that includes gun suicides which are the vast majority of gun deaths. This has been born out by MANY studies, including many by LEFT leaning organizations that were trying to prove the opposite.

    Family helps. Good parents sacrifice to make sure their kids don't have tremendous school debt. And then the onus is on the young to find roommates and be smart with their money. My eldest graduated last year and should have enough saved to put down 20% on a starter home by this time next year. Trump is certainly energizing a lot of the black community in Detroit. Some against him, some for him. More for him than most folks wish to admit.

    According to the Department of education, since 1970 the cost of teaching each student has risen at nearly 3x the rate of inflation and while class sizes are much smaller and the number of teachers and administrators per student are much higher, testing of our kids in schools shows NO improvement over that time. Lots of us are unhappy about school funding because it is clear that throwing more money at school funding is just like throwing money into a dumpster fire.

    The housing issue could be better addressed with tiny home communities. Heck, making such homes out of old shipping containers is a popular and hip thing these days. You could probably fit 2 or 3 such homes on many vacant lots in Detroit, and if the community decides to rebuild with larger homes, the tiny homes can be moved pretty readily so there would be no losses.

    Only racists think there is something like White privilege. Government gives advantages to minorities and women, not for being White or being a male. Those are codified in by government.

    HEADLINE: Clarence Thomas ATTACKS Brown v. Education ruling amid 70th anniversary QUOTE: upreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas issued a strong rebuke of the Brown v. Board of Education ruling on Thursday, suggesting the court overreached its authority in the landmark decision that banned separating schoolchildren by race. Why it matters: Thomas attacked the Brown decision in a concurrence opinion that allowed South Carolina to keep using a congressional map that critics say discriminated against Black voters. Driving the news: The court "took a boundless view of equitable remedies" in the Brown ruling, wrote Thomas, who in 1991 replaced Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall - the first Black Supreme Court Justice and the lead lawyer in the Brown case. Those remedies came through "extravagant uses of judicial power" to end racial segregation in the 1950s and 60s, Thomas wrote. Federal courts have limited power to grant equitable relief, "not the flexible power to invent whatever new remedies may seem useful at the time," he said, justifying his opinion to keep a predominantly white congressional district in South Carolina. Zoom out: The U.S. marked the 70th anniversary of the landmark Brown v. Board of Education ruling last week. The 9-0 decision declared the "separate but equal" doctrine unconstitutional and helped usher in the Civil Rights Movement, though it took two decades to dismantle some school segregation policies. State of play: An Axios review found American public schools are growing more separate and unequal even though the country is more racially and ethnically diverse than ever. Racial segregation in schools across the country has increased dramatically over the last three decades, according to two new reports and an Axios review of federal data. The resegregation of America's public schools coincides with the rise of charter schools and school choice options and as civil rights groups have turned away from desegregation battles. Zoom in: Segregated schools disproportionately hurt Black and Latino students since those schools tend to have fewer resources, more teacher shortages, higher student-to-school counselor ratios and fewer AP class options. Between the lines: Thomas has always been viewed suspiciously - if not downright hated - by civil rights advocates for repackaging arguments once made by segregationists in the name of supporting broad beliefs about limited government action. His concurring opinion also comes as he faces criticism following a ProPublica ethics investigation last year, which found that he failed to disclose costly trips sponsored by a noted Republican megadonor. Critics have also spotlighted Thomas' wife, Ginni Thomas, for trying to reverse the 2020 presidential election results and Justice Thomas for not recusing himself from Supreme Court decisions about the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. Go deeper: School segregation surges 70 years after Brown v. Board ruling ---------- At this point, Thomas has proven himself so ethically BANKRUPT, so CORRUPT, that NOTHING he says can be considered credible. Thomas, along with Alito, Roberts, and Kavanaugh, should all be impeached for ethical impairment and bias. READ. LISTEN. THINK. LEARN. -- CONNECT THE DOTS. VOTE!!!

And this is coming from a guy who doesn't do drugs and rarely drinks, but certainly tried my share as a teen.

    Gee, surprise, surprise... WDET is in favor of using taxation to pay for so many things that people should be paying for, themselves. Like college. There are plenty of liberals in this state. More than enough to fund that largesse directly from their own earnings. Zero need for government to do it as that will just lead to much higher costs for such education (as it does WHENEVER government subsidizes anything. Sure some folks will not directly see that cost, but all taxpaying citizens will feel those costs.)
