“According to data on black Americans, 28.2 percent of black families are living in poverty and they are “three times more likely to be stopped and searched by the police than whites, more than three times more likely to be handcuffed [and] almost three times more likely to be arrested,” compared to other races in American society.”

And 10x more likely to be involved in criminal activity.

[Louis Foxwell]

Criminality becomes a civil right when a culture of criminality achieves political credibility. Islam is a perfect example.
All that is requireed for criminality to be raised to the level of a civil right is for its adherents to be recognized as an opressed class.
This is precisely the situation we find ourselves in. It is arguably acceptable for black inner city youth with no employable skills and little language to commit all manner of criminal act as the unavoidable consequence of his condition.

[Beagle8U]

They are counting Hispanics as white in that.

If a white guy had done the stuff that day that Brown did, he would be dead as well...

Malcolm x left noi and pursued Islam. Went on the haj and changed some of his views toward other races. Iirc

More than social strife or racial struggles, what Ferguson should be showing people ifs the scurrilous agenda of the media to fuel racial tensions in hopes of further dividing Americans. It is something they think will help liberal candidates.

Everyone should be writing their local paper in response to Ferguson stories and asking them why they aren't printing stories like this and if they ever mentioned the crime when it happened ...then WHY NOT?

Another idiot writing more bullshit.

28.2 percent of black families are living in poverty and they are "three times more likely to be stopped and searched by the police than whites, more than three times more likely to be handcuffed [and] almost three times more likely to be arrested," compared to other races in American society.

how many of the 28.2% have gang members in their families or have been victims of black gang violence? How many of the 72.8% of blacks who live above the poverty ceiling have gang members in their families or have been victims of black gang violence?

It is really unjust that some people have an ethic of hard work and self-discipline. With a large dose of appreciation and gratitude.

well, Istanbul, while all those folks are struggling with their racial issues over on the main drag, here’s what the rest of the folks are quietly doing behind the scenes:

It’s nice to get a view of racist America from a racist, head-chopping, 30 IQ Muslim neo-Nazi ape in Istanbul.

“Ferguson Unrest Signals Failure of American Blacks to Assimilate”

That’s right; in Saudi Arabia he realized for the first time that there are white Muslims. He never knew that before...

[Iron Munro]

The only racial injustice is that entire generations of blacks have been taught how to play the victyim and use their black skin to receive special treatment and handouts from the government.

If killing Blacks is racist, then Blacks are the most racist race on the face of the planet. The rest is merely statistical anomaly.

Michael Brown was armed........ strong armed. He was a criminal . He was a mortal threat. He is dead and that is on balance good.

What the subculture of professional negros demand is in effect affirmative action for all young black men that commit or attempt to commit crimes. The demand is couched in the language of civil rights.

It is the civil right of ghetto hood thugs to assault and kill. It is the civil right for a 290 pound black man to steal the merchandise from a man one half his size, particularly an Asian man. It is the civil right of the black community including several of the subcultures to protest their life failure by going on a rampage of looting and burning the property of all other Americans that happen to reside nearby. It is their civil right to protest their own laziness by blaming it on others.

We must not use the language forbidden by the politically correct elite but we can call a spade a spade. If they are offended so be it. The presence of the loud mouthed thugs on the streets is in its self offensive. Certainty is that Al Sharpton and the cowardly governor of Missouri are scoundrels and represent the dregs of American Society.

So long as affirmative action is a protective shield to mask criminal behavior there can be no peace. Justice has been denied by the phony claims of civil rights to disobey the laws.
