William Boardman | NFL Plantation Owners Ban Uppity Quarterback
William Boardman, Reader Supported News
Boardman writes: "To watch America's structural racism at work, one need look no further than the National Football League (NFL) and its treatment of nonviolent unorthodoxy as expressed by Colin Kaepernick going to one knee during the national anthem in support of the unacceptable thought that black lives should matter as much as anyone else's. Of course, that's still a relatively new idea in the United States, dating from 1863 in law and still not fully accepted in much of the country."

The Year I Spent in Joe Arpaio's Tent Jail Was Hell. He Should Never Walk Free.
Francisco Chairez, The Washington Post
Chairez writes: "I was born in Mexico, grew up in Tijuana, and moved to Arizona when I was 14.

By that time, roughly 2012, Joe Arpaio's vicious anti-Latino tactics had already raised racial tensions in Maricopa County, where he was sheriff."
