When Department of Justice officials arrived in Ferguson, Mo., one day after the death of Michael Brown, it wasn’t just to conduct an investigation on potential civil-rights violations. In fact, officials from one Justice Department office were conducting meetings with Ferguson residents to educate them on subjects such as “white privilege.”
The DOJ’s Community Relations Service arrived in Ferguson purportedly to lessen the tension between protesters and city officials. But sources who attended the DOJ’s private gatherings with Ferguson residents tell NRO that the Justice Department also sought to educate and question the community about the issues of white privilege and racism. The political nature of the Justice Department’s intervention in Ferguson may not be exclusive to its interactions with residents; it also might have affected its ongoing investigations into the Ferguson Police Department and officer Darren Wilson.
As investigators combed through Ferguson, DOJ’s Community Relations Service began holding the town-hall meetings, which excluded press and everyone from out of town. Ferguson resident Audrey Watson, 47, attended one of the meetings. She says federal officials organized the attendees into small groups and asked questions such as “What stereotypes exist in our community?” “How does white privilege impact race relations in our community?” and “Is there a need for personal commitment to race relations?”

From the article:
"the mayor says he thinks the DOJ’s investigators misled him from their very first encounter, and he has concerns about DOJ’s ability to conduct a fair investigation"
I’m sure it’s very consoling to those Ferguson business people digging through the ashes of their enterprises to hear that they weren’t destroyed by arsonists and thugs, but by great sparks of humanity and hope.
The DOJ’s Community Relations service will reduce tensions?
That’s like saying, “There’s a near prison riot due to tension between El Norte (hispanics) and the black muslims.
Let’s send in the Aryans .... “
Why does the Justice Department have a “community relations” service anyway?
Did this come about when the Department of Homeland Security set up a `Welcome/Bienvenidos!’ Wagon in ICE?
OK, it just came to me: because the DOJ doesn’t enforce the law, they don’t have enough to do.
federal officials organized the attendees into small groups and asked questions such as “What stereotypes exist in our community?”
Sounds like the Delphi technique is alive and well...
owebama and eric the red are just doing what community agitators do - agitating. They won’t be satisfied until they have caused a full-scale race war.
White privelidge equals government employees.
