“Passed with minimal debate only 45 days after the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City, the Patriot Act dramatically expanded the authority of U.S. law enforcement agencies for the stated purpose of fighting terrorism in the United States and abroad. Although the Act passed by wide margins in both houses of Congress, it has been criticized from its inception for weakening protections of civil liberties.”

From KKKramer, to Don Imus, to the recent happenings in the small Louisiana town of Jena, the “I’m no racist” trend is alive. This blog presents a partial solution to the problem. |
