Australian news item re. suicide.
Ted Wilkes, an Aboriginal leader on drug and alcohol issues in Australia, told an inquest that authorities need to do more to regulate alcohol sales across the Kimberley region, including allowing more Aboriginal people to run liquor outlets. Wilkes believes this could help Aboriginal people find a pathway out of poverty. The inquest is examining 13 suicides of young Aboriginal people and will consider the role of suicide contagion and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder in the Kimberley. Wilkes questions the effectiveness of dry communities and expresses concern about cashless welfare cards.

This document summarizes corruption issues in the Philippines surrounding upcoming elections on May 13th. It discusses "dirty tricks" being used in political campaigns including the release of private records and smear campaigns against opponents. Specific cases highlighted include a senator being accused of failing to disclose property in the US and a congressman releasing his medical records to preempt opponents. The document also discusses how corruption has become normalized in parts of Philippine society and politics.
Too much drinking seen as cause of Allston-Brighton Assaults
Police are blaming an increase in assaults in the Allston-Brighton neighborhood on excessive drinking. While assaults citywide decreased in the first quarter of 2010, assaults in Allston-Brighton rose 12.5% and there were two homicides, compared to none the previous year. A police officer said most of the violence occurs on weekend nights and is fueled by alcohol from college parties and bars in the area. A civic association chairman argued there are too many liquor licenses in the neighborhood, which has led to more calls to the police and street violence after late nights at bars. Residents also attributed neighborhood crime to the large number of alcohol establishments in the area.
Stratification based on geographic location in stockton
The document summarizes stratification based on geographic location in Stockton, California. It identifies several high crime neighborhoods like Ponce De Leon, Bedlow Drive, and Kelley Drive. It provides statistics showing that Stockton has the second highest crime rate and 10th most violent crimes in the US. Crime levels increased from 2011-2012, with a 10% rise in firearm violence and 400% increase in firearm assaults on police. The document also notes high poverty and unemployment rates in Stockton and labels it as one of the most polluted cities in the nation.
Racial bias?
Dr. Michael J. O’Connell, Healthcare Consultant of Barrington, New Hampshire commented recently that predictably, not even minutes following this year’s Emmy Awards, claims of racial bias erupted on the internet and the next morning on the boob. Not because blacks were under represented, in fact blacks were nominated for and the recipients of more Emmy’s than ever before in history. So, why the uproar? In our typically politically correct society, diversity is no longer something to celebrate when it occurs, but to loudly complain about past years of not measuring up to politically correct standards.

Ferguson, mo
After unrest in Ferguson, MO in 2014 following the shooting of Michael Brown, community members came together to rebuild local business Natalie's Cakes and More bakery through crowdfunding. To address tensions between police and the African American community, a newly appointed judge withdrew all arrest warrants issued before 2015 in Ferguson. On Black Friday in 2014, demonstrators staged "die-ins" at two local malls to bring attention to issues in Ferguson and support for Michael Brown.

This document summarizes corruption and dirty political tactics occurring in the Philippines leading up to their May 13th elections. It discusses how political candidates are engaging in "scorpions-in-the-bottle" fights by releasing private information about each other, and smearing each other with "black propaganda." It also discusses corruption investigations into politicians, like allegations that Senator Loren Legarda didn't properly disclose a condo purchase in financial statements. The document argues that corruption has become normalized in Philippine society, and poses dangers if left unchecked.
Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo -- Issues/Controversies
Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo faced numerous controversies and issues during her presidency, including the Oakwood Mutiny led by military officers protesting corruption, the "Hello Garci" phone call controversy suggesting she rigged the 2004 election, and the uncompleted Northrail project that cost billions despite no railroad being built. Other controversies included the fertilizer fund scam diverting money to her campaign and the 2006 declaration of a state of emergency allowing arrests without warrants.

MAYOR SCHELL’S ZERO HOMELESS FAMILY PLEDGE
On June 2nd, 1998, Mayor Paul Schell spoke to the press about the needs of homeless
families, women and children. He asked for the City Council’s support in providing
“immediate emergency assistance to homeless families and single women, a critical step
in providing lasting housing solutions for these families and individuals.” He noted that
“the problem continues to grow and we absolutely must find better ways to help people
find and keep housing.” He closed
his remarks with a
firm pledge
that there will be no
homeless families with children or homeless single women on the streets of Seattle by
Christmas 1998. His pledge made headlines in both Seattle papers the next day.
Alan Painter, Director of the Community Services Division of the Department of
Housing and Human Services, listened attentively to the new Mayor’s remarks. Painter
has dedicated his professional career to serving the needs of homeless people. He was
proud and excited to hear Schell’s passion and commitment to addressing homelessness
in Seattle. At the same time, he viewed the pledge with some trepidation. Counting the
number of homeless people on the street at any given time is notoriously tricky,
influenced by many factors. Further, he wondered how this pledge would dovetail with
City priorities and plans for dealing with homelessness. These plans emphasize services
to homeless people rather than just providing beds and they stress the need for other
jurisdictions to share in funding
homeless services.
The next six months promised to keep
Alan Painter very busy.

Somewhere between Jim Crow &

Racial Divide in America Today

LAWRENCED. BOBO, a Fellow
of the American Academy since
2006, is the W.E.B. Du Bois Pro-
fessor of the Social Sciences at
Harvard University and a found-
ing editor of the Du Bois Review.
His publications include Racialized
Politics: The Debate about Racism in
America (with David O. Sears and
James Sidanius, 2000), Urban In-
equality: Evidence from Four Cities

In assessing the results of the Negro revolution so
far, it can be concluded that Negroes have estab-
lished a foothold, no more. We have written a Dec-
laration of Independence, itself an accomplishment,
but the effort to transform the words into a life ex-
perience still lies ahead.
–Martin Luther King, Jr., Where Do We Go
From Here? (1968)
By the middle of the twentieth century, the color
line was as well de½ned and as ½rmly entrenched
as any institution in the land. After all, it was older
than most institutions, including the federal govern-
ment itself. More important, it informed the con-
tent and shaped the lives of those institutions and
the people who lived under them.
–John Hope Franklin, The Color Line (1993)
This is where we are right now. It’s a racial stale-
mate we’ve been stuck in for years. Contrary to
the claims of some of my critics, black and white,
I have never been so naive as to believe that we can
get beyond our racial divisions in a single election
cycle, or with a single candidacy–particularly a
candidacy as imperfect as my own.
–Barack H. Obama, “A More Perfect Union”
(May 18, 2008)1
The year 1965 marked an important inflection
point in the struggle for racial justice in the Unit-
ed States, underscoring two fundamental points
11
about race in America.2 First, that racial
inequality and division were not only
Southern problems attached to Jim Crow
segregation. Second, that the nature of
those inequalities and divisions was a
matter not merely of formal civil status
and law, but also of deeply etched eco-
nomic arrangements, social and politi-
cal conditions, and cultural outlooks
and practices. Viewed in full, the racial
divide was a challenge of truly national
reach, multilayered in its complexity
and depth. Therefore, the achievement
of basic citizenship rights in the South
was a pivotal but far from exhaustive
stage of the struggle.
The positive trend of the times revolved
around the achievement of voting rights.
March 7, 1965, now known as Bloody Sun-
day, saw police and state troopers attack
several hundred peaceful civil rights pro-
testors at the Edmund Pettus Bridge in
Selma, Alabama. The subsequent march
from Selma to Montgomery, participat-
ed in by tens of thousands, along with
other protest act.

and law, but also of deeply etched eco-

and practices. Viewed in full, the racial
divide was a challenge of truly national
reach, multilayered in its complexity
and depth. Therefore, the achievement
of basic citizenship rights in the South
was a pivotal but far from exhaustive
stage of the struggle.
The positive trend of the times revolved
around the achievement of voting rights.

day, saw police and state troopers attack
several hundred peaceful civil rights pro-
testors at the Edmund Pettus Bridge in
Selma, Alabama. The subsequent march
