Black Self-Sabotage TrapBlame it On the PoliceAre the police actually targeting Black people? Why do so many traffic stops conclude with the Black person getting killed? What’s the solution?Key Points:Statistical data does not support the claim that Blacks are being targeted by the police.The number of blacks arrested by violent crime category in 2019: Murder—4,078, Rape—4,427, Robbery—29,677, Aggravated Assault—91,164.

Parallax Views w/ J.G. MichaelThe Last of the Manson Girls w/ Filmmaker Lonnie Martin
Ever since the shockingly gruesome Tate-LaBianca murders of August 1969, The Manson Family have cast a long shadow over not only the 60s counterculture and its images of free loving, acid-dropping, Establishment challenging, hippie flower children but also American culture as a whole. Rather than ushering in the fabled Age of Aquarius where peace and love would reign supreme, it appeared that the promise of "The Psychedelic Sixties" had ended with an unimaginably wanton act of violence and bloodshed. The clarion call of Dr. Timothy Leary and the Woodstock Generation to "Turn On, Tune In, and Drop Out"...2020-02-0600 min

National Gallery of Australia | Audio Tour | ConstableJohn CONSTABLE, The Vale of Dedham 1827-28This was Constable’s last major painting of the Stour Valley, his definitive treatment of a favourite subject, which summed up his personal affection for the place and his lifelong devotion to the example of Claude Lorrain.
A relaxing holiday in Suffolk in the autumn of 1827 with his two eldest children had refreshed his associations with the area and may have motivated him to begin painting this work. On 11 June 1828 he wrote to John Fisher that he had ‘Painted a large upright landscape (perhaps my best)’ (Beckett IV, p. 236).
Constable depicted the Dedham Vale framed by trees, looking eastwards from Gun Hi...2007-11-2100 min
