Uh oh: Columnists now calling situation in Ferguson a ‘race war’

Posted on 08/18/2014 11:25:40 AM PDT by chessplayer

The violent protests in Ferguson, Missouri following the shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown only grew more intense over the weekend. As the primarily, but not exclusively, African-American locals continue express dissatisfaction with the state of American law enforcement, some of the nation’s commentators are examining the societal circumstances which have led these protesters to believe they have so few stakes in the system that they are prepared to take the risks associated with participating in mass violence.

A few political commentators have observed that there is something gravely wrong with our urban centers. They see the violence in Ferguson, which has been welcomed and celebrated by sympathizers in many of America’s great metropolises, as evidence of the breakdown of the social contract.

They're just figuring this out now?

My comment on the “RACE WAR.”

You train a dog not to defecate on the floor by sticking his nose in it every time he does it.

We, we whites are tired of having our noses pushed down in the pile of crap we did not make...over and over again.

You can only push someone so far and then they will turn on you. This dog has finally reached the point that the next time my nose is pushed in the steamy pile, I will turn around and bite.

Its time us whites finally rise and enforce the laws granted under the Constitution to protect our rights, liberties and freedoms by actually physically doing something about it.

I think they’re using “urban” as a euphemism in this case.

Remember the L.A. riots where the “protestors” burned down the post office and then stood in the street like a herd of cows when they couldn’t get their welfare checks?

“Of course, to many in America, being a person of color is synonymous with being poor, and being poor is synonymous with being a criminal,” he added.

No Kareem, being in the NBA is synonymous with being a criminal.

Thanks to the MSM, there just may be a race war.

And, woe be unto the libs when the crackers get really p*ssed off.

Just the Left having their collective wet dream about a mass-uprising class-based revolution again.

In reality most of the people they are appealing to won’t get off the couch long enough to go and engage in a good riot.

Someone worked very hard busing enough of them into Ferguson to even achieve this.

Anyone who can still defend Michael Brown with all of the information that's now in the open can only be doing so because of race. That includes race-baiters in the black community and enablers among liberal, sactimonious whites (who go back to their protected, gated communities).

I'm appalled that it's policy in many places not to shoot robbers and looters. If that's the racial divide, bring it on!

“there used to be a whole lot of white robes in the closets of Missouri”

We do have a good number of Choirs that are wonderful to listen to. I think the colors of the robes differ though and of course robes are kept in the closet.

the problem is not American law enforcement but the black american subculture that masquerade as Americans

It’s not so much a “race war” as it is a war between criminals who want to be able to rob and pillage without consequences, and the rest of us.
