~Delmar Boulevard formed a demarcation line known to all: north of it, 98 per cent of the population is black (median income, $18,000); to the south, 73 per cent white (median income, $50,000)~

And what? This article smells like another piece of a class warfare.

Yup. This article, and the Washpost nightsoil in the thread directly below: something stinketh to high heaven in Ferguson, Denmark.
American gerbalists keep giving us the “mushroom treatment” and we’ll keep calling them on it.
As usual, “we”—the rodent in my pocket and I—must find a British news article (other than the Guardian) so we can try and discover the truth about American news.

You missed:

The legacy, for the white officers supposed to police it, appears to be a forbidding, alien, territory. A land of the other. It might as well be Fallujah.

Which really set the tone of the article for me. It was easy to see what was coming once I read that line.

Exactly right. And this is exactly how liberals change the narrative from what everyone sees with their own eyes to something completely fabricated to fit their template. This allows the Left to appear morally superior.

This piece is nothing more than dreamy leftist propaganda.

The real question is - Will whites ever stand up for themselves?

“Sounds as though some of the black neighbors fled, too. So is it a (voluntary) segregation strictly of race or also of motivation to better oneself?”

You can look at the crime and destruction in any majority black neighborhood and know exactly why the whites left. It didn’t have a damn thing to do with racism or segregation, it was common sense and survival!

Blacks are their own problem, they will have to fix it themselves. That won’t happen until we stop paying them to live that way.

A memorial to little Mikey, cut down in the prime of his life; a good boy, who never did nothing to
nobody. Condoms and Mad Dog 20/20, how appropriate.

“I keep my sons shuttered at home because of situations like this. Young black men have targets painted on their backs… this stuff’s been going on for years,” said Kesheara Ross, 26, a protester.

She's 26 years old, and has at least two sons that are grown men?

Who the heck can blame any decent person fleeing the atheistic evil of these inhumane, unthinking and amoral people that come into their neighborhoods with drug addiction and violent crimes and the entitlement mentality. Nobody respects that disgusting lack of character.

Who the heck can blame any decent person from preventing these atheistic amoral people from infiltrating their more decent communities - nobody decent wants to live in a sewer and nobody decent wants sewers leaking all over their communities. These people are the sewage of humanity and have no values anyone wants their families exposed to - it’s like a disease - quarantine it.

And these types of people prove their lack of decent human values every single day and we are witnessing their proving it yet again on national and international television from Ferguson, MO.

My advice to these people looting and vandalizing and shooting and race pimping in Ferguson - look at yourselves on television and see the lowlife freaks you are. Now ask yourselves, who in their right mind would want to be your neighbor?

Why wasn’t Kesheara out in the street then?

I bet she was. I bet she spends most of her time out in the streets, rather than home with her kids.

“White flight”.

I guess they would prefer whites stick around and be murdered. Shame on whites for staying alive.

The ACLU is neglecting to cite who the beneficiaries are in job growth. These thugs should be working and leading productive lives but INSTEAD they are paid by the government to stay out of the jobs market and engage in crime and white hate. Meanwhile the government keeps importing “immigrants” for workers for their political benefactors.

“Summa summarum: This article is extremely biased, fails to report on crucial facts, and blatantly unobjective by using words like “segregation” without emphasizing that it was voluntary.”

Bingo!! We have a winner!

People of means should be forced to stay in a decaying area to prove that they are liberal. I think that is what this writer is trying to say.

It sounds as if the case is being made, that you are racist if you participate in “white flight” and move out of an area which is going downhill.

But they don’t mention that decent black folks also move away from bad neighborhoods if they can.

You are correct:

"apparently shot him several times as he ran away with his arms in the air. "

Really?
