Time magazines editors selection of the Ebola fighters as the recipients of the publications annual person of the year designation greatly riled some of the leaders of the Ferguson, Missouri riots.
Its just another case demonstrating that Black lives dont matter, complained arsonist Monte Burns. An innocent Black man was shot down on our streets. Now a white magazine is trying to sweep that under the rug by pushing a story about some germs.
The Ebola fighters havent done anything to help right the social injustices that plague America, insisted Ferguson looter Robbie Moore. Were taking direct action to redistribute the wealth. Most of the people the Ebola fighters are treating end up dyingleaving this injustice untouched.
Moore remained unmoved by the fact that most of the lives saved by the Ebola fighters are Blacks. Thats in Africa, Moore retorted. In Africa Blacks are the majority. Theyre not fighting for minority rights against white oppression like Michael Brown was, and we are continuing in his memory. President Obama said we triggered the nations conscience. Thats got to be a bigger accomplishment than curing a few Africans of an African disease in a far away land.

Too close to the truth.
They’ll get over it. Another looted TV ought to do it.
Good one. Thumbs up.
Peace.
While I do understand FR’s new rule about clearly marking satire....
I do so miss the jolt of believing, for that brief instance, that the story is in fact, real news.
Just for that brief moment. :-)
Second that.
Can you imagine the anguish of Time’s editors if this was true? They could easily ignore principled criticism from conservatives, but they couldn’t ignore this. “Black rioters from Ferguson think we’re racists? Oh, the horror! Who could doubt their authentic anger? We are bad liberals!”
