Residual slave owner mentality.
Every moment of a slave's life was monitored by the owner or one of his minions. Slaves had constant eyes on them willing to report or correct any infractions.
For some whites they never unearned that behavior.

Do white people ever think about how much less stressed they'd be if they stopped minding everyone else's business?

We had a great tour of the record factory at Third Man Records in Detroit, totally worth it if you're in the area. Seeing the record-making process up close was impressive, and the tour is only $15 per person.

I had so much fun joining @moreneighborsa2.org to talk about growth trends in Michigan. Young people are prioritizing attractive places, accessible housing, and ease of transportation. It's encouraging to see a grassroots effort emerge in Ann Arbor to prioritize these needs and take hold! #A2Council

I don't think this is the civil war trumpers and the confederates were expecting.

Muskegon Lake was once so polluted that US/Canadian governments labeled it an "Area of Concern" (AOC). Now, Muskegon Lake's incredible transformation is a testiment to the power of partnerships, collaboration, and federal investment. Four Michigan AOCs down, ten to go! Success story:

This might be the start of the Lions locker room unraveling.

Coach Campbell should've kept his comments to himself and handled this situation with the team behind closed doors.

Brian Branch is a locker room favorite and most of the team will still be behind him, right or wrong.

Trump showed them that they don't have to believe in anything.
That they don't have to play by rules - that there *are* no rules.
That they can lie - openly and obviously - and be believed by those who choose to be misled.
That there are no facts that can't be distorted, manipulated,
