Joe Madison say’s ‘It’s time to march.’



FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(Bristow, VA) – June 26, 2013 -- The High Court overturned a portion of the landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA), altering one of the most significant pieces of legislation in American History.

Joe Madison, host of the Sirius XM show The Urban View spoke to Mona Austin in an interview  Wednesday afternoon while the news was fresh.

Madison said of the decision “It’s very disappointing and  it’s going to require immediate action on the part of Congress and immediate demand and organizing on the part of Civil Rights organizations. . .”

On the question of the current relevance of the VRA, a law that was implemented over 40 years ago, Madison said to thin k the law is outdated is a fallacy, recognizing discrimination still exists in modern times.

 “Jim Crow is not an issue. It’s James Crow, Esq.,” he said and proceeded to provide several current examples of voter disenfranchisement.

“It’s time for us to march,” the Civil Rights activist known as “The Black Eagle” added.

The Slice Political  Entertainment Report is produced by Jireh Communications Group and airs during the Cedric Bailey Radio Show on the Rejoice Network. The full interview will be available online at www.newsslice.blogspot.com on June 27, 2013.

U.S. Murder Offenders by Race: 2023 FBI Data

  Data on murders (homicides) committed by race in the United States primarily comes from the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, which relies on reports from law enforcement agencies. The most recent detailed breakdown available is for 2023, but due to the FBI's transition to a new reporting system (NIBRS), not all agencies submitted complete data—only about 70-80% of the population was covered, so totals are undercounts. These figures represent known offenders (where race was identified), not arrests or convictions, and include single-offender and multi-offender incidents. In 2023, there were approximately 15,708 known murder offenders with identified race. Here's the breakdown: Race Number of Offenders Percentage of Known Offenders Rate per 100,000 Population White 8,842 56.3% 3.51 Black or African American 6,405 40.8% 14.00 Other (American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander) 461 2.9% 1.31 Notes on the...
