Gay Right Groups and NAACP join together to deal with 'Stop and Frisk'

'Stop and Frisk' is a messy ordeal. It's big in major cities like NYC and Baltimore. If fact, it's been reported that the New York Police Department has stopped and questioned over 684,000 people; most of them were people of color.

Once this news got out, groups (Gay and straight) got together to plan a protest.

The Washington Post has the scoop

Gay rights groups are speaking out in support of a silent march being held later this month to protest the New York Police Department’s street stop policy.

Representatives from groups including Empire State Pride Agenda and Human Rights Campaign joined the Rev. Al Sharpton and National Association for the Advancement of Colored People president Benjamin Todd Jealous at an event Tuesday announcing they’d take part in the June 17 march.

I hope this is televised.

Rev. Al Sharpton Joins MSNBC for Real

The Rev. is joining MSNBC and hopefully bringing the sass and frass to America.

Deadline reports:

MSNBC today named Al Sharpton as host of PoliticsNation, a new hourlong program topped by the civil rights activist and minister that will air weeknights at 6 PM ET, kicking off the network’s evening schedule. MSNBC president Phil Griffin made the announcement about the show, on which Sharpton “will lead a lively and informed discussion of the top headlines, bringing viewers his take on events in his signature style.” It debuts Monday.

I hope this is good. Rev. Al is realist and I love that about him.

Interesting Quote: Pat Buchanan

"I was asked who was the big losers in these battles and the big winners, and I said one of the big losers, using boxing terminology, was 'your boy,' and I meant the president of the United States. Rev. Sharpton said my boy is the president of the United States and he's doing a rope-a-dope in the Ali fashion and he's going to finish off your crowd. Now this was taken, some folks took what I said as some kind of slur. None was meant, none was intended, none was delivered, for the record."

Pat clarifies the"Your Boy, Obama" statement.
