There’s a lot of things that need to change. One specifically is police brutality. There’s people being murdered unjustly and not being held accountable.

Perry Traditional Academy is a predominantly black high school, located on Pittsburgh’s North Side and a five- to seven-minute drive away from my house.

Did Mike Tomlin Pull Some Black-Ass Judo With His Answer to Why the Steelers Stayed in the Locker Room?
The present-day Pittsburgh Steelers exist as a paradox.

Trump’s Hate-Filled Rant Against Black Protest May Have Just Ensured Kaepernick an NFL Job
President Donald Trump just might have helped Colin Kaepernick get back in the NFL.

Donald J. Trump furthered his argument for pettiest president of all time Saturday morning when he presumably woke up, ate some leftover KFC for breakfast, watched cartoons for a few minutes and, as he sat under the complex machinery that applies his wig and spray tan, decided that he didn’t want Stephen Curry at the…
