November 12, 2015
Today's Talking Points *Virginia became the first state in the U.S. to end
veteran homelessness.* This means there are officially no veterans who lack
housing
<http://mic.us2.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=e296d233b80b1c09f9c900df7&id=7557cc68a7&e=e339022196>,
except those who have refused the offer, and that the state has resources
to take in any veterans who want housing within 90 days. If you're
wondering how such a massive goal was achieved, they simply gave people
housing
<http://mic.us2.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=e296d233b80b1c09f9c900df7&id=98f7079523&e=e339022196>
and
support instead of making them jump through hoops to earn a home.
- It has been a big week for vets. On Tuesday, the Senate approved a bill
<http://mic.us2.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=e296d233b80b1c09f9c900df7&id=a7c268f144&e=e339022196>
that
would allow (for the first time ever) doctors to OK medical marijuana for
some veterans. And the White House announced Wednesday that all
recent U.S.
military vets and their families will be offered in-state tuition
rates
<http://mic.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e296d233b80b1c09f9c900df7&id=06df919b28&e=e339022196>
to public colleges and universities across the country.
*#PrayForMizzou started trending as death threats hit MU’s campus.* After
several racially charged incidents at the University of Missouri, the
chancellor and system president stepped down — but students barely had a
chance to celebrate their victory. Soon after, a series of threats

were
posted to the social media app Yik Yak, spreading fear throughout the
student body. Despite the panic, one professor challenged his students

in
an email to come to class to defeat “the bullies.” After his email went
viral, he submitted his letter of

resignation

Two students have been arrested
<http://mic.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e296d233b80b1c09f9c900df7&id=627fc26ec1&e=e339022196>
for making the threats.
- Hundreds of Ithaca College students joined Mizzou and Yale

in the fight against racism by holding their own “Solidarity Walk Out”
Wednesday. They’re calling for the resignation
<http://mic.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e296d233b80b1c09f9c900df7&id=83c8cbeab6&e=e339022196>
of the college’s president, Tom Rochon, over several alleged racial
injustices

*Kurdish forces launched an offensive against the Islamic State group in
Iraq.* Backed by a U.S.-led coalition, the forces are trying to take back
Sinjar

the town seized by the extremist group last year. This is major since it's
a step toward breaking up the group's caliphate

. *Shootings by the LAPD doubled in an "alarming trend."* Los Angeles
officers opened fire 23 times in 2014

This year, that number rose to 45, and it has the police commission super
worried
<http://mic.us2.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=e296d233b80b1c09f9c900df7&id=05d90321cd&e=e339022196>.
The board plans to take a hard look at the use of force in the department,
and is calling for training, less-lethal equipment and a review of body
cameras. *Police are sweeping up your tweets and friending you on Facebook
— whether you know it or not.* Police have been using digital masks to take
down criminals on social media for years, but now that’s reached a whole
new level. Officers are using an algorithm to scrub social media posts and
map them to figure out where crime is most likely to occur. This is how
police are using social media to predict crime

*Outraged
people took to Twitter to slam Google for its Veterans Day Doodle. Why?
Because six of the people featured appear to be of color and just one is
light-skinned. The complaints mostly accused Google of failing to represent
the many white vets in the U.S. But here’s the thing — while white veterans
comprise 66.3% of the veteran population, that’s down from 90.9% around
World War II, and it’s on track to change further. As a result, we’ll be
seeing an even more diverse veteran class.

If you've ever read Greek mythology, you know one thing: Myths stay with us
for a *very* long time. However, when you're living in America, those myths
can be extremely detrimental. I decided to examine and deconstruct two of
them: The myth of the black father and the myth of the rapper. Rappers can
be family people and family men can be rappers. Find out how your favorite
rappers
