What do you expect? Ferguson is a ghetto, statistically and culturally. Fifty years of equal rights and affirmative action has created another city inhabited primarily by people of the same race, religion, and social background.
In a dream world, Ferguson’s black population (and any other entity) should not exceed 15% to be in proportion (balance) with the rest of the nation. Forced busing, integration, and affirmative action through legislative means has failed to achieve that balance. Hence the blame game of discrimination, racism, Bush, white privilege, or whatever are the reasons given.
There has always been racism and racism will always exist as long as there are differences between people and cultures. This nation used to be called the melting pot of nations where we could unite as one nation under G_D and with liberty and justice for all. We used to have a common language, freedom to practice our religious beliefs, justice and rule of law under our Constitutional guarantees, and the opportunity to pursue the American dream. Now the opposite is true. We are a divided nation. Our Republic is swirling down the toilet as our leaders watch and do nothing.
Ferguson is a diversion, a bump in the road. Wake up America! There is no representation of the majority anymore, only corruption, in all three branches of our federal government. Under our misguided leaders, justice is only for the minority in Ferguson, not for the rest of us.
Like Ferguson, we are doomed to fail as well.
