Booker T. Washington (self-reliance) v. W. E. B. Du Bois (blame Whitey).
Blacks chose the path offered by Du Bois.
I couldn’t get past the picture of the Luther Vandross-lookin’ dude in his “Peace Keeper” t-shirt, yelling at the crowd and waiving his hands in the air.
There HAVE to be more ‘Fergusons’.
The races MUST be kept apart by whatever means necessary, and black riots are the best means. AND the cheapest. They are self-financing by means of loot and publicity.
Whatever would become of the American Left if the black population ever rejoined the rest of the population?
Dhimmocrats would be DOA.
All of the well-to-do blacks mentioned bootstrapped themselves and refused to accept the "I'm-a-victim" mentality liberals want. Because, with out that attitude, blacks can break out of the cycle and there goes the liberal voting base. Fifty years and almost $3 trillion later and Ferguson still happens. No, gov't policies are NOT aimed at solving the problem but rather to keep blacks pinned down and dependent on the liberals' free giveaways. If that was not the case, one is hard-pressed to explain the rationale behind free cell phones paid with our tax dollars. Sadly, most blacks can't see beyond the freebies and Ferguson is the result.
It's INFINITELY preferable to STAY here and complain about "white oppression." And, we humans OFTEN take the easy path.
Anything is possible, but if history is a guide to predicting, then my guess is they are far more interested in continuing to hear what they are already saying, just like last time and the time before that and the time before that and the time before...
When the internal dialog is stuck, skipping on a scratch and repeating the same old same old, nothing changes. And, you know what they say, nothing changes unless/until something changes.
That change must first come on the inside. Like Worf said to a couple of soon-to-be-dead Klingons seeking a glorious death in battle: "No! The battle is within!"
"Bud, the toilets today aren't worthy of the name. They come in designer colors, they're too low, and when you flush them they make this little weak, almost apologetic sound.
Not the Ferguson. It only comes in white and when you flush it -- BA WOOSH! -- That's a man's flush, Bud. A Ferguson says, 'I'm a toilet: sit down and give me your best shot.'"
No, we don't.
All we need to do is convince Sons of Obama to not strongarm-rob elderly Pakistani store owners, and then charge the police to try to get their gun, busting the cop's eye socket in the process.
Pretty simple, really.
“There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don’t want the patient to get well.” — Booker T. Washington
We won't have more.
Not after Rodney King, Trayvon Martin, and the Ferguson riots.
White policemen will no longer accept the personal and legal risks involved in arresting potentially violent Black males.
And Black males everywhere know it.
White policemen will now find any plausible excuse to avoid questioning or detaining Black males.
The consequences will be tragic, but mostly for Black communities.
Thousands of violent Black males who would normally be in jail will now roam the streets with relative impunity.
Thousands of innocent victims will be killed or terrorized, including many white victims.
My prayers go up for all in Ferguson and North St. Louis County, that we get peace and justice restored. We do not do justice in America in the streets, though. We have legal processes that are set in motion, that are designed after centuries of Anglo-American jurisprudence tradition. Theyre designed to protect the rights and liberties of everyone involved. That includes the Brown family, for justice for them and for the community. It also includes the officer who has not yet been charged. Our constitutional and our Bill of Rights protections have to be followed here, and we do not do justice in the streets.

“Yet, despite this, racial ghettos which harbor, even nurture, poverty and crime persist, generation after generation. “
Racial ghettos are the problem??
Gee,the folks from all those Chinatowns,Koreatowns, and Little Italys seemed to manage quite well for themselves.
Do these people EVER really look at themselves?
