It should have been President Hillary Clinton. Here’s why it’s not
There was no better proof of how we have failed as voters than the scene at last week's NAACP convention, where former President Bill Clinton presented me with the group's award for outstanding achievement. As I told 2,000 attendees in San Antonio, if we had all done our job and voted in 2016, it would have been President Hillary Clinton making the presentation. It got a laugh, but it is the bitter truth. President Trump is where he is today because of our collective failure to militantly and consistently participate in the political process. After our tremendous victory in electing Barack Obama twice, we had to know that we were in for a fight in 2016.

‘Stand your ground’ law protects shooter in deadly fight over parking space: sheriff
An argument over a handicapped parking spot at a convenience store in Florida led to a fatal shooting and the man who pulled the trigger won’t be arrested under the state’s “stand your ground” self-defense law, authorities said. Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri told reporters during a Friday press conference that Thursday’s shooting death of Markeis McGlockton, a 28-year-old father of three, is “within the bookends of stand your ground and within the bookends of force being justified,” the Tampa Bay Times reports. “I’m not saying I agree with it, but I don’t make that call,” Gualtieri told reporters, adding that his agency will now forward the case to the State Attorney’s Office for a final decision. Surveillance video obtained by The Post shows McGlockton walking up to Michael Drejka, 47, who was arguing with McGlockton’s girlfriend, Britany Jacobs, 24, over a handicapped parking spot at the Circle A Food store on Sunset Point Road in Clearwater on Thursday.

A white businessman spit in the face of a black man just doing his job
A businessman spat in Ibrahim Misson's face on July 17, 2018. Maybe these instances were always the norm, but thanks to cell phones and courage, people are fighting back. A day later, Ibrahim Mission was still stunned, still angry, but still composed. While Mission was providing security Tuesday for a gathering of social justice and community leaders in Eastern Market, Detroit, Robert Stanzler (owner of the Detroit Mercantile Co. next door) was upset that some participants were parking on his property and told Mission to stop them. When Mission told Stanzler to take it up with the building owner, Stanzler jabbed his middle finger in the air and spat on Mission's face. The heinous act occurred
