    History of Racism, Lynching and Vigilante Justice in America Part III

    By VCUMSW  |  Posted May 16, 2012  
     
    In Part 3 of the series I talk about the sense of entitlement certain people have and how it creates conflict with others, particularly young black males. I also talk about how the celebrities today speak out much less about injustice than athletes and entertainers in the past like Ossie Davis, Muhammad Ali and Jim Brown. I also talk about how Twitter, Facebook and other media outlets covered Trayvon Martin's murder and the solidarity it created all over the world.
