People Don't Care How It Works So Long As it Works

People Learning How It Works Matters So Much Right Now

The Facebook Hearing seems to be mostly about explaining how it works to the law makers of the land.  It’s the second day of Testimony for Mark Zuckerberg in Washington D.C..

Young People Always The Change Agents We Need

I was watching Dan Rather putting together some commentary for The young Turks network. He pointed out something about young people I had not truly considered.

Out the gate I ant to apologize for the long title of this one: Policing Blacks versus Policing Whites: How Law Enforcement Fails America.

The I Don't Know Card (Kamala Harris vs Kirstjen Nielsen)

White Supremacy Plays The I Don’t Know Card on Kamala Harris

She knows the demographic of Norway, but is fine with pretending to be ignorant of these facts. […]

Jeff Sessions Perjurer (Lying Under Oath)

Was It Perjury? Jeff Sessions Confronted by Ted Lieu and Hakeem Jeffries

Did Attorney General Jeff Sessions commit perjury? By the time Senators Ted Lieu and Hakeem Jeffries finish questioning him, the answer ‘should’ jump out. What also jumped out about this exchange is that our Attorney General knows the law, very well.  Knowing that each Senator only has 5 minutes, he takes as much time as he […]

Why Is Tyrese (Gibson) Crying On Social Media

Tyrese has been making all sorts of news lately for crying on social media. Yes, SoPoCo is Not A News Site, however, this is something that we need to all take a moment to discuss, together. Primarily because it’s not really news at all. Tyrese seems to be using social media as an outlet to […]

SoPoCo is Not A News Site

Just a quick one here from the Mind of KingC. SoPoCo is not a News site. I thought it’s important to make that statement, somewhere public where it can be referenced. The pressure of trying to ‘keep up’ with the latest happenings often take our minds off things that just happened. Far too often, those […]

Greg Poppovich Responds To Trump’s Racist Tirades

One white person who is fully aware of his privilege is Greg Poppovich, coach of the San Antonio Spurs.  Sports has always taught us these lessons, that human beings really are all the same. Through sports, either you’re good or you ain’t!  Color truly does not matter on the basketball court, or the football field. […]
