President Obama and the Trayvon Martin Ruling

President Obama Speaks on the Trayvon Martin Case

 



Speak up on the Trayvon Martin Case

What are your thoughts on what the president said about the Trayvon Martin case?
Think about it, if Trayvon Martin was of age, had a gun, and stood his grounds would the case had gone in his favor, or do you think he would have been found guilty of murder? African Americans do not receive the same outcomes in the judicial system in this country.
Justice is indeed blind!
According to the Business Insider:
Martin’s father, Tracy, said on ABC’s Good Morning America show (video embedded below) that he’ll “never grasp” the jury’s decision to acquit Zimmerman of all charges and that the verdict was “devastating.”
We Africans have to demand that things MUST change, none but us will stand-up for us!

The McDonald’s Scam

by  

How McDonald’s is Scamming Its Employees out of a Check

According to a recent article that can be viewed on Change.org, McDonald’s is not playing fair. The article states that McDonald’s employees are forced to use a debit card to receive their pay. The problem is that this JP Morgan Case debit card is supposedly loaded with fees.

McDonald’s Under Paying?

One young lady was stunned to find out that not only was she going to be paid just over minimum wage, but by the time all the fees were taken out, she may have less than minimum.
Fees for cash withdrawals to balance inquiries to lost or stolen cards to overdrafts and even inactivity fees. The federal government has helped reduce fees on credit and debit cards that most consumers use, but those protections don’t apply to the kinds of cards companies like McDonald’s are using to pay employees.
To add gas to the fire, the JP Morgan Chase debit card is the only method of payment authorized by McDonald’s. The young lady stated they (McDonald’s) refused do direct deposited to her Credit Union. So this young lady left the job, only to find out that this is the new trend with many major employers.
"The New York Times reported that last year roughly 4.6 million active payroll cards were issued by companies like McDonald’s."

McDonald Part of the New Slave Trade?

Everyone deserves to receive fair pay; these debit card payrolls are only a tool use to highjack ones hard earn pay. And you say slavery was over, wake-up my friends welcome to the industrial complex plantations. The new form of slavery!
