Baseball Crowd Shouts 'USA! USA!' at Ferguson Protestors "............A few weeks ago, the stadium was the scene of a foiled demonstration. Organizers Sarah Griesbach and Elizabeth Vega, two middle-aged white women who wore Cardinals jerseys, unfurled a protest banner and were instantly met with shouts from sports fans. The same women were also behind the October 4 St. Louis Symphony demonstration. After the failed ballgame protest, the duo from an upscale neighborhood decided that a symphony hall would be a better location.
From Colorlines:
“When we lowered our Michael Brown banner...we went from people being smiled at to instantly being perceived as representing something that was hated.” A wall of sports fans started screaming, ‘Pants Up, Don’t Loot’ and ‘Lock Them Up!’ After being handcuffed and escorted out of the stadium — more so “for our own safety,” both say — Vega recalls Griesbach looking at her and deadpanning, “I think we need a new venue...I really needed to laugh, then.”
While reliving their game nightmare at a local Thai restaurant, Griesbach hit on the symphony crowd — mainly because they weren’t the typical Cardinals crowd. “I knew they would be more receptive. I knew this was a public that was interested in the world, that listened to NPR, read newspapers and [was therefore likely to hold] nuanced views.”
Griesbach and Vega were right. The STL symphony demonstration ended with no one being led out in handcuffs. Some in the audience and orchestra even applauded; others sat stone-faced. In the YouTube video at the 36-second mark, one lone male voice can be heard saying, "He’s a thug."...........

Ahhh Ha Ha Ha! Right on my fellow Americans!
Fudge? Are you kidding me? Can I hear some good jokes?
One thing that should be understood is that blacks / afro/americans making statements like this is a two-edged sword. Just as obola lectures, just as Michele obama wants to crystallize her food program so she will go down in history as Mama Obama,(here I’ve fed you thru my crappy program) this caucus member is addressing her audience as if they were children and she needs to chastise them by telling them to “contain your complaint”. And I guess
for those who support her many members are not willing
to think for themselves and take direction from idiots
like those of the aforementioned.
The two edged sword is this- blacks/African Americans use double speak. One for themselves and one for others who are not like them and this is what she is using to address people who support her in the black caucus.
Frankly, I would call into question the respected caucus member’s reasoning about telling her audience not to call her office and don’t make any complaints otherwise.
Is she running her own program(s)? I don’t think so.
I believe her pay comes out of the taxpayer’s pocket and for her telling people to STIFLE themselves ? Everyone must be held accountable in whatever they do.
Planet Mars she is, Planet Mars
Notice the CBC is fighting for blacks on the govt plantation. No encouragement of private sector innovation...
The libs at the symphony somehow remind me of a piece written by Tom Wolfe where the Black Panthers get invited to this New York social event.
“...interested in the world, that listened to NPR, read newspapers and [was therefore likely to hold] nuanced views....”

“likely to hold nuanced views”. In other words, they were looking for gullible fools who will believe ANYTHING that the leftist establishment throws their way.
It's the county and state money that needs to be better distributed to communities. Ms Fudge was a mayor of a town outside Cleveland. She knows how bad the problem is.
Pants up don’t loot is pure genius.
Naturally the two ladies go to a Thai restaurant afterwards to commiserate. Because that’s what libs do: go to Thai restaurants. They were probably wearing those narrow rectangular glasses that all libs wear.
I’ve been listening to NPR in the mornings recently and I would swear it’s more overtly leftist than it’s ever been.
“we fight for you every day”
They all need less fighting and more work and study. More producing and contributing. Give and it shall be given unto you. Continually demand that more be given you and you will never have enough. NEVER.
Massa Democrat sent Miss Marsha out to tell the hands how lucky they are. It works every time.
The Black Caucus is fighting for blacks in Ohio to immigrate?
