Jesus Christ: You can’t impeach Him and He ain’t gonna resign.
I lived near Fergison when the whole shooting thing happened. It was an ugly time to be living in St. Louis, that’s for sure.
I think that the frustration that the ‘black community’ (as much as I hate that term, because it’s segregationist at the very least) feels is somewhat justified, just that it’s aimed at the wrong parties. They ARE being kept down, but it’s not by racist white cops. From what I’ve seen, the entire community is having its legs cut out from under it by the same programs that supposedly help them, and the same politicians pandering for their votes and keeping them, yes, enslaved.
The black women I’ve talked to are alternately wanting a man to take care of them and their children, but at the same time afraid of the men in their community.
The black men I’ve talked to—at least some of them; I haven’t talked to the thugs—are aware that there’s some kind of injustice going on because they can see how different black neighborhoods are from others, but many of them either blame Republicans or don’t know what to do about it.
And no one wants to even consider the thought that they’ve been lied to their entire life and worse, been fooled by people who you thought were your friends.

I believe the problem was, for the most part, caused by LBJ’s “Great Society”. NEVER give people something for nothing, other than for a very temporary thing. e.g. The good Samaritan.
