Ferguson’s Old Grievances
Canada Free Press ^ | 08/19/14 | Alan Caruba

This is not the 1950s or 1960s. It is 2014 and this is getting very old.

Ferguson, Missouri, and its re-run of 1950s civil rights grievances has now achieved national stature with the dispatch of our black Attorney General, Eric Holder, by our black President, Barack Obama, to address the unhappiness of blacks in the community over the shooting of a 6’4”, nearly 300 pound, black teenager, Michael Brown, who we are repeatedly told was “unarmed.”

According to witnesses, Brown had accosted a police officer, Darren Wilson, after being told not to walk down the middle of the street. After that, he reportedly “bum rushed” the officer who shot him. The reported facts of this case do not look good so far as Michael Brown’s behavior is concerned and give cause for Darren Wilson, the cop, to once again fear for his life after some “protesters”, led by agitators, were heard calling for his death.

Maybe the blacks who cannot get over slavery after 150 years should just be offered one-way tickets to Liberia so they can work on developing a culture that is not white and would please them more.

In the 1950s Ferguson was majorly white. These people are just plain stupid.

Holder has gone to Ferguson to punch some holes in the back of Brown's body to prove that he was shot in the back with his hands in the air, in accordance with the reliable eyewitness account of one Dorian Johnson.

In other words, if it's not the truth now, Holder will make it the truth.

The grievances from the 50s and 60s resulted from the fact that, until that point, small rural, Democrat-dominated towns (not even sure Ferguson was one of them) used Jim Crow laws and other government power to disenfranchise blacks and terrorize blacks to keep Democrats in power because blacks used to vote Republican.

Now, the Democrats are using the legacy of hate and oppression that they created to maintain power again. And, just as they did in the past, they are staying in power by creating a poisonous system that hurts the country and the people.

They would agree only after they receive a large govt payout. Who’s going to give them obamaphones and weekly welfare payments in Liberia?
