White House Summit on Working Families(Link)

June 2014
With Press access, I attended and covered the first ever White House Summit on Working Families with President Obama, Vice-President Biden, Dr. Jill Biden and First Lady Michelle Obama in attendance. In preparation for the Summit, I hosted a virtual Townhall with NASW-NC to identify concerns of social workers in the workplace. The White House Council on Women and Girls, the Department of Labor, and the Center for American Progress hosted the Summit on Working Families in order to identify the challenges and barriers women and families face in the workplace. The Summit convened business leaders, economists, community leaders, labor leaders, advocates, and ordinary citizens to discuss policy strategies and solutions that could improve the quality of life for many working families.

White House Briefing on Social Determinants and the Role of Social Work Education(Link)

September 2013
As Editor-in-Chief of Social Work Helper, I had the opportunity to attend the first ever White House Briefing for Social Work Education. The event was coordinated through the White House Office of Public Engagement with the Council of Social Work Education led by Darla Coffey, President. Presentations were given by federal officials from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration (SAMHSA), Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), and the National Institute of Health (NIH).

"Read the whole thing. "

Kudos. I couldn't do that without gnawing off my own leg.

Current poll data articulates that 65% of minorities...

Even Al Sharpton doesn't mangle the English language like that.

They keep screwing up by making it racist. There has been an increase in police homicides of citizens as an overall trend - those who make it all about race keep the real issues from being exposed.

There are at least five grammatical errors.

After the Michael Brown robbery, the theft of cigars and the assault on the clerk, one must reflect and wonder.

Did the felon that attempted murder on Mr Zimmerman pay for the skittles and tea? Did Trayvon rob the store?

From the article -— “In this case, Officer Wilson was unaware of Mike Browns’ involvement at the convenient store, and his involvement resulted from Brown walking in the street.”

Perhaps the writer should actually read the grand jury testimony. Officer Wilson testified as follows, “When I start looking at Brown, first thing I notice is in his right hand, his hand is full of Cigarillos. And that’s when it clicked for me because I now saw the Cigarillos, I looked in my mirror, I did a double-check that Johnson was wearing a black shirt, these are the two from the stealing. And they kept walking, as I said they never once stopped, never got on the sidewalk, they stayed in the middle of the road. So I got on my radio and Frank 21 is my call sign that day, I said Frank 21 I’m on Canfield with two, send ma another car.” -— State of Missouri v. Darren Wilson, Grand Jury Volume V, September 16, 2014, Page 209, lines 2-13.

I wish someone in the press would ask the race baiters two simple questions. Why would Officer Wilson call for police backup if he hadn’t identified the two people walking in the street as the suspects in the robbery? Why would an officer who intended to gun down a citizen innocently walking on the street call for backup and take the risk the backup unit would arrive on the scene to witness him murdering the suspect?

Idiots like this write articles making the police look like they are hunting blacks who are not committing crimes. WHEN YOU COMITT A CRIME AND YOU KNOW IT YOU CAN BET YOUR A## YOU MAY GET KILLED! what part of this dont they understand. I was in a verizon store with my wife and a state trooper came in to shop, afterward I asked my wife what do you think would have happened to me if I tried to take this officers gun from his side? answer? you would be dead.

Despite illegally following Trayvon with a firearm, Travyon was denied the right to fear for and defend his life as any other reasonable person would do

I stopped reading right here.

It is obvious the author has no acquaintance with the truth.

Saint Trayvon’s death foreshadowed nothing except an insane black establishment over-reaction and a promise of more anytime a black man is killed while beating down another, or committing a criminal act (as in felony).

Nothing more, nothing less. If they want to blame someone, blame a Democrat for fostering an entitlement system that breeds contempt for its masters. Blame a culture that HAS to endorse single mothers on welfare, absent fathers with pants akimbo, and a hatred for anyone that actually earns what they get paid.

I’ll start listening to these bozos when they start getting riled up about blacks murdering people in disproportional numbers.

George Zimmerman, a man with no police authority and no legal right to follow or detain anyone,...

Hey, Stupid, Zimmerman had every right in the world to follow anyone in his neighborhood and he didn't detain Trayvon.
