If you see a rabid dog, raccoon or possum in the street gnarling at you, foaming at the mouth, do you try to reason with it?

All this is the response of a spoiled child who gets ignored: I’ll take all my toys into my room and smash them!

The proper response is not to spoil the child more, but to ignore him.

“Humans can only be sucker punched for so long.”

That’s right. And when walking down the street, I see a “gansta” I’ll be passing by...If the perp tries to cold-cock me...he’ll be eating corn, for the rest of his life...with NO EFFIN TEETH.

This article has MYYYYY blood boiling!

In this whole article, she did not even make a pretense of discussing the facts of the case. From her babbling, the facts I got were that Mike Brown was black and he was shot by a white cop, therefore the white cop is guilty. My question is, how come so many people can be so outraged after a mountain of evidence shows that this thug attacked a cop? If the cop were black, would there be this outrage? I think not, and if that’s the case we have to ask who are the racists in this country in 2014? I think we know the answer.

Was thinking the same thing. And if they come to my neighborhood, they better bring a tank. Because sure as the day is long, they will be outgunned. :)

I guess what the government is showing us is that we can do anything we want to protest in this country. So mass disruptive demonstrations are due as Barry keeps breaking the law with his pen.

The induced attitude that being educated is “white” and therefore undesirable along with the inculcated belief that white people owe them whatever they think they need keeps many otherwise bright black kids from ever developing their potential. Work is for slaves and they aren’t slaves any more. Free people don’t have to work. Money grows on trees and white people exist to do the work of pulling the money down from the trees and giving it to them.

“......Back at CNN, I learned that black mob violence is no big deal because white people do it too. Just as often. Just as bad. So singling out Ferguson is racist.

Also unsaid: the hundreds of cases of recent black mob violence around the country.

Ferguson was not the only. Just the latest.

No one mentioned Louisville, and how last Spring 200 black people rampaged through that downtown, beating grandparents in front of their grandkids, destroying property, stealing, looting, and creating mayhem.

And when it was over, PBS was kind enough to report that all of that black mob violence was the result of “white racism.”

Black people have no problem saying this all over the country. But reporters black and white are loathe to question it.

And oh yeah, that’s been happening a long time in Louisville, and lots of other places: Cincinnati, Virginia Beach, Fort Lauderdale, DeKalb, South Bend, Champaign, Peoria: Has no one heard about them?

How about the black bus driver who called 20 black people to beat and kick a white family on her bus. All while the black passengers cheered?

College campuses are favorite targets of black crime.

In Rochester, black people have taunted, harassed, robbed, and attacked more than 1000 recent Asian immigrants. A social worker blacked it in Asian “naivete.”

Hear about that?

Exactly.

This is a long list in a short article with no room for the hundreds and hundreds of cases of recent black mob violence and for the denial at a level that can only be called delusional.......”

because then they are confronted with the possibility of charred, burning, white flesh.

How many of the dead in these riots back to Watts and Newark have had "white flesh?" These folks are pointing the revolver at their own heads and demanding if White Society doesn't give them what they want they will shoot.

Hope and change and she cant bring herself to condemn her messiah obama, they blame the republicans. She cant see that in the first 2 years of his presidency he had the house and senate and could have passed everything he wanted to help his black brothers and sisters but he didnt. But its white priviledge, old white men, corporate America, raicist white folk that is the cause not absent fathers or boyfriends, illegitimate children, drugs, gangs, alchohol, economic dependency on the “white priviledged” LOOK IN YOUR OWN HOUSE AND THEN LOOK IN THE MIRROR the truth is in front of you

"reality"

This latest incident (there will be many more just the same) is indicative of the vast gulf between the white vision of reality and the black vision. Why is that so? If Brown had been a white kid who acted the same foolish way as Brown and got himself shot and killed like Brown, even if it were a black cop, rest assured no white mobs would be out in the streets burning down buildings and threatening violence against blacks.

So the big question that has puzzled me for decades now is: how can blacks not see the destructive behavior of black males leads to their premature deaths? How can they not see what is obvious to everybody else? How obtuse do you have to be?

Do they really believe that some young punk who had just robbed a convenience store, disobeyed the lawful orders of a police officer to get out of the middle of the street, assaulted the police officer, and ended up getting shot and killed is blameless? I just shake my head...what can be done with these people?

Brittney, if Black Lives Really Mattered [tm] to you, your people wouldn't abort 1000 black babies *EVERY DAY*.

Start by cleaning up your own back yard.

:: The rule of law wants to beat into us, through “discipline,” the belief that we –black people — would be animals but for its chastening rod of correction. ::

And so we have the abject PROOF of the author’s bigotry, bias and ignorance; the same maladies that infected the JimCrow-white’s in the early 20th century. Does not this single observation fully describe the Ferguson melee?

You get called names for it, but the only hope for black people (and the country) is sterilization of the Black Underclass. It would take billions (trillions?) of dollars, but until the country rids itself of this parasitic, uncivilized, and violent group of Americans, we’ll be reading about many more Fergusons in the future.

Your black student’s statement is contradicted by the fact that Brown’s criminal buddy Johnson did what he was told and got out of the middle of the street without attacking the cop. Johnson is alive today. Brown is not.

It isn't racist per se. It is tribal. The operative concept is not right and wrong or the Law, it is vengeance. If someone from another tribe/clan/family kills someone in my tribe/clan/family then someone from the killer's tribe/clan/family and perhaps his whole family must be killed or money must be paid over for satisfaction.

Whether the original offense was accidental or deliberate, murder or self-defense does not matter. There must be a very large tit for each tat. That is the lex talionis of old. A major step to Civilization is the substitution of Law for Vengeance with the government assuming the duty of punishment for infraction and circumstance, rather than relationship, determining what and whether the punishment.

Subcultures that have regressed to tribalism may still accept the concept of that government substitution but also insist on retaliation for offense rather than punishment for crime. If someone damages a member of the tribe then it is the government's duty to retaliate, no matter what the original circumstance.

Lady, if you want war you’re gonna’ get it but know this; you and all the violent thugs whose desire to violence you rationalize (in this age of black leadership at the very top of law enforcement)have never been in a TWO WAY war.

Blood is on the hands of the liberal media. The demolished city should sue the big media corporations for fanning the flames of racial hatred and force them to pay for the cleanup and the rebuilding. They are entirely responsible for what happened.
