Louisville has settled Breonna Taylor's wrongful death lawsuit for $12 million The city of Louisville, Kentucky, has agreed to pay $12 million to the family of Breonna Taylor, the 26-yearold EMT killed by police six months ago, to settle a wrongful death lawsuit, family attorney Sam Aguilar confirmed to CNN. Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer announced the settlement Tuesday, September 15, 2020, in a joint press conference with the Taylor family's attorneys. Speaking to News Radio 840 WHAS on Tuesday morning, Fischer declined to comment on the settlement, saying, "I don't have anything to announce on that at this time." Taylor's family sued the city after Louisville Metro Police officers broke down the door to Taylor's apartment and fatally shot her while executing a late-night, "no-knock" warrant in a narcotics investigation on March 13.
Tamika Palmer (center), mother of Breonna Taylor (inset), addresses the media in Louisville, KY, on Thursday, Aug. 13, 2020. The city of Louisville will pay several million dollars to the mother of Breonna Taylor and install police reforms as part of a settlement of a lawsuit from Taylor’s family. A CNN review of the shooting found that police believed Taylor was home alone when she was in fact accompanied by her boyfriend,
who was legally armed. That miscalculation, along with the decision to press forward with a high-risk, forced-entry raid under questionable cir-
police said. Until Freedom, a social justice organization that has protested in Louisville, released a statement Tuesday reacting to the reported city settlement. "No amount of money will bring back Breonna Taylor," the group said. "We see this settlement as the bare minimum you can do for a grieving mother.

Packers stay in locker room for pre-game anthems The Green Bay Packers stayed in the team locker room during the pregame anthems Sunday, September 13, 2020.

The national anthem and Black national anthem were played before the Packers

"The Green Bay Packers respect the national anthem and United States flag and all that they represent, including the right to express ourselves," team President and CEO Mark Murphy said in a released statement.

Being Frank African Americans, how many of you have been stared down and frowned at by an African American who you didn’t know? African Americans, do you often tense up when you see another African American walking toward you? Be honest in your next answer. How many of you African Americans feel they are treated worse by other African Americans than whites? You don’t have to answer out loud. The reason many African Americans answered yes to all three questions is because too many African Americans are slave-minded people. I say slave-minded because that is the only way I can explain how a race of people

Gangster rap and the slave mindset
can treat each other so badly. At least many slaves in the past thought about freedom and cared for each other. This new wave slaveminded African American doesn’t think about freedom because they are too naive to know they are imprisoned. This same African American would kill another African American in a second with no remorse. Yet, you can’t blame the delusional African American because there is a major factor that has shaped this stupidity. Gangster rap has all but destroyed the African Ameri-
can mind. Gangster rap hit the scene hard in the late 1980’s. Rappers claimed they were showcasing life in the black community. Murder and drug dealing was the norm and if you believe the music, everyone was moving kilos of cocaine. Right. The gang-
ster rap genre quickly overtook and wiped out pro-black conscious rap music. Gangster rap had no problem with discussing murder of black men and exploiting and demeaning black women. The music was degrading to blacks and instilled self hate and total hate of each other. It was around this time that rappers started showing up at the Grammy Awards. I know many will say it is only music but let's look at the results. Fast forward to 2020. The African American community has shown no growth since the 60’s. African Amer-

icans still hate each other and themselves with a passion. The effects of gangster rap is evident when you look at the number of ex-cons that are labeled African American. The mythical “come up” that many rap songs talked about led to many African Americans getting 10 to 20 years in state-run hotels. The rampant act of calling African American women harlots in gangster rap has led to African American women looking like them and loving it. Any person who has seen any Black Exploitation movie from the 70’s has seen the way street walkers dressed and looked. Well, go to the African American community and you will see the same wild hair colors and long eyelashes on all ages of females. The crazy part is the same style of dress and look is how young African American females go to school. The African American male would probably benefit from looking like a 70’s Black Exploitation film character. At least in those films the black man always won and combed his head. The gangster rap mentality led to an increase of African American men doing time in prison. Maybe this is why so many younger African American males reek of feminine characteristics? What has happened to the African American male may even be beyond gangster rap. For example, older African American males still act and dress like they are going to play some sport. Can this be a sign of race retardation? Is there any wonder why with this type of male image that so many African American females have joined the PRIDE movement? As the world turns and white people care more about Black Lives Matter than African Americans, I want you to think about this. No other race of people view each other the way the people who hate them do except African Americans. The Jewish don’t. Asian people don’t. Latino people don’t. Only slave-minded African Americans look at each other with the racist eyes of white people. Is your mind free or has it been warped by NWA, Master P or Key Glock?

Mandela Barnes and Congresswoman Gwen Moore to protest the shooting of Blake. Despite violence that had erupted during the week-long protest, SatPhotos by Yvonne Kemp urday's march was one of solidarity and unity with protesters coming from all different walks of life. During the rally, Wisconsin Democratic Congresswoman Gwen Moore of Milwaukee spoke, saying she is “mad as hell,” adding that federal legislation needs to be passed to hold police departments accountable and we needed to vote in legislators who will fight for change. Lt. Gov. Barnes said, "Nov. 3rd will be a mile marker, not a finish line." Jacob Blake, Jr.'s father, Jacob Blake, Sr., encouraged those attending to continue the fight but to do so peacefully.

CLIP IT OR TICKET: Wisconsin Athletic HOF Inductee Driver surprises local Milwaukee barbershop in new ‘Click it or Ticket’ ads.
The seat belt usage rate in Milwaukee lags behind the rest of Wisconsin. That’s why Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame inductee Donald Driver, paid a recent visit to Gee’s Clippers in Milwaukee. Driver wanted to personally get the word out to customers at the barber shop that wearing seat belts saves lives and that you can get a ticket for not wearing one. Only a few of the customers that Driver surprised said they don’t wear their seat belts. But, after their encounter with Donald and having him buckle them in to the barber chair, chances are they do now! So, take it from a Driver who always wears his seat belt, every trip, every time; CLICK IT OR TICKET!

New AARP Wisconsin poll: 65-plus voters may tip the scales in 2020 Findings show Social Security, Medicare transcend party lines
Tuesday, September 15, 2020, AARP Wisconsin released the full survey results that shows voters age 65-plus are a not a lock for either presidential candidate. Former Vice President Joe Biden (56 percent) leads President Donald Trump (39 percent) among voters 65 and older. The survey finds that support for Social Security and Medicare unifies voters from both parties. An overwhelming majority of voters from both parties say that they are more likely to vote for a candidate who will protect Social Security, strengthen Medicare, lower drug costs and increase protections for nursing homes. “Candidates who want to win in 2020 must talk about the issues that matter to voters 50 and over – like voting safely from home or in-person, preventing cuts to Social Security and Medicare and lowering prescription drug prices,” said AARP Wiscon-

There’s no better team to foster with than Foundations. They guide you through the decision-making process so that you can decide for yourself with the full knowledge of the expectations and challenges. ~Chelle F.
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Foundations and the staff. When our family was in need of support, Foundations stepped in and supported us! We are thrilled to be apart of the Foundations family! ~Katie S.
