• Robert De Niro released a video exposing his feelings about the Republican candidate, saying “I’d like to punch Donald Trump in the face.”
• The Hillary campaign released another ad in response to the leaked Trump audio using his rhetoric about women and it is brilliant.
• The O’Reilly Factor’s Jesse Walters’ new segment promotes stereotypes of Asian Americans and is flat out racist.

Pop Culture:

• Syracuse University held a die-in on October 5th to protest fatal police brutality
• Ben & Jerry’s and BLM – do politics and ice cream mix?

International News:

• The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights conducted an investigation into US race relations and here are their findings. They say, “there has been no real commitment to reparations and to truth and reconciliation for people of African descent.”
• Hurricane Matthew hits Haiti. Where is the Haitian flag Facebook filter while over 900 lives are lost and cholera ravages survivors of the natural disaster?
