They Still Hang Black Women in America

By Desi Cortez Columnist

Joe Watkins, MSNBC’s in-house go-to Conservative “House-Negro…” is apparently blind to or ignorant of both the historical and contemporary nature of US race relations, because my head spun around like the little girl in the Exorcist listening to this clown tap-dance and tip toe away – with white gloves, cane n’ top hat – the…
