Description
Why are Black people always expected to take the high road?
A viral Ring camera video from Ole Miss shows two white students making monkey-like sounds and gestures outside Black students’ door. The TikTok topped 13 million views in four days, one student apologized and withdrew from school, and a fundraiser for the other woman has pulled in more than $30K. So who gets grace, and who doesn’t?
History in Mississippi: the AP called the state’s U.S. Senate race for Democrat Scott Colom over Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith.
Colom is the first Black U.S. senator from Mississippi since Reconstruction, and the first Black candidate to win any statewide office there since then. The state’s last Black senator, Blanche K. Bruce, left office in 1881. So is this real change? Is there real hope, or is one win just one win? Our panel reacts.
A Hialeah, Florida mom is charged with felony child abuse. Police say 34-year-old Yashira Maldonado chained her 13-year-old daughter with special needs to a fence in the July heat, with no food, water, shade or shoes. According to the arrest report, she said she “needed a break.” She has pleaded not guilty, and newly released bodycam shows what officers found. Is this caregiver burnout, or is there no excuse?
Also tonight: a police officer’s coloring book that helps kids handle police interactions.
We’re asking viewers: Should forgiveness be automatic, or earned? And is Mississippi’s historic win a sign of real change?
