There are also rumors that the cop involved is also black(Since the population of Ferguson is 70 percent black) if the cop is black, that changes everything..expect these protests to disappear pretty darn quickly

September 27, 2013: Comparing Black Civil Rights to Gay Civil Rights (coincidentally authored by Michael Brown)


The cover of the December 16, 2008 issue of The Advocate, the flagship gay publication, proclaimed boldly that, “Gay is the New Black,” stating that this is “The Last Great Civil Rights Struggle.” But whenever I mention this topic on my national talk radio show, asking my listeners if they believe it is fair to equate the black Civil Rights movement with today’s gay rights movement, I am flooded with African American callers who take strong exception to this comparison.

March 26, 2013: Civil Rights Activist: ‘No Comparison’ Between Civil Rights, Gay Rights Movement


Civil rights activist Rev. William Owens, who is founder and president of the Coalition of African-American Pastors, said Tuesday there is no comparison between the civil rights movement and the gay community’s fight for same-sex marriage.

“I marched and many other thousands of people marched in this same location years ago on the claim that we were being discriminated against, and today the other community is trying to say that they are suffering the same thing that we suffered, but I tell you they are not,” said Owens, who gathered on the National Mall with other traditional marriage supporters in favor of the Defense of Marriage Act.


May 19, 2014: 100 Black Pastors: Gay Rights Don't Compare to Civil Rights


Detroit Black Pastors are speaking out against Judge Bernard Friedman's overruling of the 2004 voter approved amendment to the Michigan Constitution that defines marriages as between one man and one woman.

November 28, 2003: Comparisons Between Civil Rights, Gay Marriage Upset Blacks


BOSTON (AP) - Conservative blacks are objecting to recent comparisons between the gay marriage and civil rights movements, arguing that sexual orientation is a choice. Links between the two struggles have been made since the state's highest court ruled last week that the Massachusetts constitution guarantees gay couples the right to marry. The court cited landmark laws that struck bans on interracial marriage.

But the Rev. Talbert Swan II said the two struggles are not similar because blacks were lynched, denied property rights and declared inhuman.


July 15, 2012: Most blacks don't equate gay rights with civil rights


President Barack Obama and the Congressional Black Caucus are not in step with the majority of African-Americans who don’t equate gay rights with civil rights, former Rep. Artur Davis said in an interview.

“When you say to African-Americans, ‘the gay struggle is the black struggle,’ they don’t buy it,” David explained to The Daily Caller’s Ginni Thomas.

Davis, a former Democrat from Alabama, cited the prejudices that blacks dealt with as evidence: exclusion from the voting booth, job opportunities and colleges; and the threat of violence against them.

“African-Americans were completely, in every sense of the word, marginalized,” he said. “They were also the poorest group in the United States. With all due respect to gay Americans, that’s not the condition of the gay community today.”

exactly, and all this group is doing is trying to attention again while the left is using this to get their base out to vote.

If they want to stand with him does that mean they want to be shot too?

The LGBT pro-sodomy losers can't stand any state of normalcy anywhere, for normal people.

If they feel eternally tormented, everybody else has to feel it too.
An occasional riot now and then? no big deal. Sock it to the breeders!

Whatever it takes!

Crazy. Why was the unnamed officer hospitalized according to many reports. Why the secrecy, the police have to know the particulars and violence will continue the more they stonewall. The violence might continue anyway now that the racebaiters are all gathered.

Whatever, this seems poorly handled regardless of the facts. By now what actually happened is secondary to the narrative. When does the next innocent child get shot?

The gay people I know are the NPR types that would not be caught dead in the hood in the middle of the day even if they were handing out free sex.

I guess this group isn’t finding any real oppression against gays, so they are hooking on to this so they can get in on the victim train.

With our luck, the only place that’s hit will be the Apple store, where everyone will just demand a 10% discount off of their next iTunes purchase or else they will touch everything in the store without using hand sanitizer.

The homosexuals are looking for attention and have drawn the lines on what side they are on just like the left always takes the thugs, the rioters, the homosexuals, the anything but cops, and Christians side.

Of course the witch trials by Holder have started, the race baiting has started , and the media are lapping this up to get the Dems and liberals out to vote.

No outrage when blacks kill blacks by the thousands in Chicago..guess its all good to kill blacks, as long as the perp is also black

Yes Sarah. That is the exact conclusion I come to. It is ok with these dirt bags if blacks kill blacks. It is just not right in their eyes, if a white guy does it. I don't like to see any one getting killed by anyone, but their selective indignation really sucks.
