They are the victims of violence, yet because theyseek justice, they are now the villain, the police are the good guys inwhite hats.

This July 4th marks 234 years of US independence. And although America’s ongoing “melting potexperiment” is theoretically unbiased to Blacks, Latinos and Muslims, the Southern Poverty Law Center reports that hate groups, like the well-armed Hutaree militia, have increased 200 percent since President Obama’s 2008 election.
