Angela West: Am I “Acting White” by asking why black people are looting their own neighborhood?

Would I be “acting white” if I asked why in God’s name are black people looting and destroying their own neighborhood in St. Louis? Would I be a sell-out if I asked why stealing all the tennis shoes from a sporting goods store would make a point for justice for a young man who was killed allegedly by a cop?

Would I be an “Uncle Tom” if I asked why burning a gas station, breaking into at least one convenience store, including a check-cashing store, a boutique, a small grocery store, a sporting goods store, a cellphone retailer, a tire store and a Wal-Mart would make things better? Would I be behaving stupidly when I told you that between 20 to 25 Walmart employees took shelter inside their store Sunday night as rioting and looting ran rampant in the area around them?

Would it be wrong to ask why people carted away goods from several of the stores, even as police moved in? These are stores located ] in this area — often at their own peril. These proprietors — small business owners — often live in the area or darn near close to it. Neighbors stealing from neighbors…shamelessly destroying their neighbor’s property as though they were released from bondage in order to pillage and plunder.

Police were having a difficult time catching the looters because crimes were happening at several locations. And it all started with a peaceful protest.

Allen West's daughter reads THE RIOT ACT to the "protestors".

And with no regard for Democrat-demanded political Correctness, and Democrat Plantation discipline!

Filed Under: "News you will never, EVER see on the Mainstream Networks if the Reporters want to keep their jobs."

Am I “Acting White” by asking why black people are looting their own neighborhood?

Yes. And you must atone.

[Paine in the Neck]

Looting hair extensions for Just-us!

So far the people arrested aren’t from the area and have criminal records.

Angela, of course they are rioting in, and tearing up their own home neighborhoods. They know damn well that if they cause any problems anywhere else they will be damn well shot.

There are enough well-armed people in most neighborhoods now who have had enough and would prevail in any confrontation. It probably will happen someday, but it ain't gonna be pretty.

[Jonty30]

That’s what the mayor was saying. The perps weren’t generally from the area.

St. Louis population in 1950: 857,000
St. Louis population today: 318,000

That's a population decline of 63%.

St. Louis African-American population in 1950: 154,000
St. Louis African-American population today: 156,000.

That's a population increase of 1%.

Those Obama phones are awesome for getting flash mobs mobilized! I saw this phenomenon in Wash DC where maybe 50 youts suddenly appeared just down the street from the Verizon Center and stripped a beverage truck clean in maybe a minute and a half.

A huge squad of cops showed up too, but about 5 mins too late to grab anybody.

“They know damn well that if they cause any problems anywhere else they will be damn well shot. “

It might spread. Riots might no longer stay in the ghetto, but end up spreading to ‘better’ areas. Already gangs are running around places like county fairs and more interesting places. I’m certain that it will reach a point (this riot or another riots) where they will fan out to more affluent areas.

"So far the people arrested aren’t from the area and have criminal records."

• Which just begs the question, who organized them and why?
• Were they "pre-organized" and activated?
• Was the organizer involved in setting up the initial incident?

The author’s article will not be read by the population that does this type of rioting. She can write until her fingers bleed, but the folk aint readin’.

[Red Badger]

Yes, she must atone.
She must do 20 Hail Obamas and 20 Mother Michelles.........................

If "not from the area" means "people who live less than 5 miles away" then sure.

That's like saying "None of the criminals we arrested were from Santa Monica! They're all from Los Angeles!"

and have criminal records.

What percentage of teens and 20-somethings from St. Louis have never had a brush with the law?

[pastorbillrandles]

"...Your OWN Neighborhood..." Hey sister, don't give them any ideas, it is just as well that of they are going to do it, they should jut keep it in their own hood!

"St. Louis population in 1950: 857,000

This is not in St. Louis. Ferguson is 20 miles out, more or less.

[x1stcav]

Hah! Wait till they get to the hispanic areas.

Those beaners will show them a thing or two.

[DownInFlames]

You are talking about the city, not the metro area which is over 2 million.

[ozzymandus]

I can just picture some leftist wimp like Al Hunt whining about how these looters are not at fault for anything. It must be Bush’s fault.
