Racism and The Royals Historically, the royal family has been a white institution. So, when Megan Markle, a biracial woman, became a member of the royal family, not only did we look on her marriage to Prince Harry as a magical moment, we viewed it as progress. However, in late 2016, when it was announced she and Prince Harry were dating, we were not so aware that she and Harry had already been subjected to racial undertones and sexism by social media and articles. Three years into their relationship, Megan, and after enduring the media’s coverage, she began to speak up about the difficulty of adopting the British sensibility of keeping a “stiff upper lip” when hearing how the press refer to her “exotic DNA” and describing her as “(almost) straight outta Compton”, and being attacked her for the very things that Kate Middleton, Prince William’s white wife, has been praised for; and compared the couple’s son to a chimpanzee. |

Impeachment - and the Rule of Law- why it matters In 1787, during the Constitutional Convention, Benjamin Franklin had the foresight to suggest the impeachment process. Noting that the traditional mechanism for removing “obnoxious” chief executives — like kings — from power had been assassination, Franklin glibly suggested the impeachment process as a more rational and preferable method. Under the US Constitution, a President, Vice President and all civil officials may be impeached and removed from office if convicted of “Treason, Bribery, or other “high crimes and misdemeanors". |

Candidate Debates: Can They Do What They Say? the Democratic National Committee has announced plans to hold 12 debates during the 2020 presidential primary. The third debate was held only a couple weeks ago, and already the field is narrowing. Only ten candidates qualified - Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Amy Klobuchar, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Beto O’Rourke, Andrew Yang, and Julián Castro. Although Democratic activist Tom Steyer did not qualify for the third debate, he will meet his challengers in October. With a wide range of candidates, with a wide range of experiences and platforms, it becomes difficult to keep up with the deep pot of promises that are being fed to the American people. Promises of better healthcare, immigration policies, justice reform, national security issues and a myriad of other promises of reform, can we truly and undoubtedly depend on any one of these candidates to follow through as the next President of the United States? As we have seen four years ago, where President Barack Obama would come up against a brick wall with Congress, will we see a repeat for one of these candidates as the next president? |

Why Are You a Democratic, Republican, or Independent? According to a 2012 Gallup Poll, Whites accounted for 89% of Republican self-identifiers nationwide; 6% were Hispanic, 2% were Black, and 1% were Asian. On the other hand, Whites accounted for 70% of independents, 16% were Hispanic, 8% were Black, and 3% were Asian. Whereas 60% of Democrats were white, 22% were Black, 13% were Hispanic, and 2% were Asian. These results were based on more than 338,000 interviews conducted as part of Gallup Daily tracking in and clearly underscored the distinct racial profiles of partisan groups in today's political landscape. What has remained a constant is that Blacks and Hispanics typically move towards more liberal policies versus conservative policies. Many of us have friends who are Democrat, Republican, Independent, of another party or non-affiliated for a variety of reasons. |
