Ugly white liberal: it didn’t matter that the crowd was waiting for an innocent man to be condemned. To the ugly white chick, Wilson was already guilty of white privilege.

"And, as darkness descended on the streets of Ferguson, Missouri, the now enormous crowd continued to wait patiently -- trying its best to remain optimistic."
A bloodthirsty crowd of savages wanting to lynch an innocent man for the high capital crime of defending himself against a gargantuan charging thug.

One of my favorite magazine columnists as a youth was askedby a non-fan: “How can you sit there and write all that crap?” and he replied “On a Royal portable”. Today, Heather Ann Thompson would probably have to reply “On an MacBook Air”....

White privilege occurs when black people are not allowed to lynch a white person.

Evil White people like her are doing more to hurt race relations than anyone else - they present a false narrative and the hope for an unreal and false outcome. She creates anger in both sides of the debate!
