Following up on a social media conversation about Shaquille O'Neal's and his business partners decision to ban the documentary about former Black panther Mumia Abu Jamal from a theater they operate in Newark, New Jersey. Many people are calling Shaq a sell out but that label is often misapplied.

White people now have a scientific excuse for racism and lack of empathy for non-white people who suffer oppression according to a study I came across from 2010. Interesting reading that explains a lot but not sure it answers all the questions. I wonder if the results could also apply to Black people who have a lack of empathy for other non-white victims of America's so-called war on terrorism or is it something else warping their senses.

More updates on the Jasmine Thar case and the reactions to the families decision to pursue a civil lawsuit. Jasmine Thar was killed when a rifle belonging to James Blackwell allegedly misfired while he was taking it out to clean.

More evidence surfaces in the Marathon Bombing case that the US government was negligent in its handling of information supplied to various agencies about the suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev or they allowed it to happen. Similar language is being used that was used to excuse why the suspects involved in the Sept 11, 2001 attacks were not detected. The similarities do not stop there.
