Recently, there's been a buzz throughout media due to recent arrests related to the citizen's right to record an interaction with law enforcement.
Faith and ethics have been thrown on the back burner in exchange for the idols being pushed by, ironically, corporations and entities government has sought to regulate. This loss of cultural faith has been devastating to progress. The issue lies in the failure of the audience to turn away.

The MLK Day rally at the Statehouse seemed to spread a different message — one of division rather than peace. The South Carolina National Association for the Advancement of Colored People sponsored a rally, the purpose of which was not to celebrate the history of the man who preached love, kindness and tolerance but rather to demonstrate the disdain for the Confederate battle flag and its presence on the Statehouse grounds.

They claim there was no offense intended, and they just needed something to support some of the rally signs.
