Ferguson became a Selma-like moment for the 2010s to the extent the stark images caused a nation to stop and reflect on the state of racial relations in America. Moreover, a new generation of activists, who were not weaned on the nonviolence of the Civil Rights Era, is coming to the fore.
Ferguson, Mo. Burly, with tattoos and a bandanna over his face, Anthony Pruit stepped up to the Missouri State Highway Patrol captain trying to cool the tensions that engulfed Ferguson, Mo., in protests and riots this summer.
We hurt, we broken, and we aint all criminals, Mr. Pruit said.
He then pulled down his bandanna to show his face, which was by then streaked with tears. How can yall fix this?
That show of vulnerability in the face of authority from a tough-looking young man became one of many iconic moments from two weeks that defined a rough summer for America.....

“I wouldn’t be surprised if many of today’s government “leaders” were former “wear some flowers in your hair” 60s hippies who cunningly put on church clothes to get elected as lawmakers to destroy the “establishment.””
More like gun toting black radicals (Eric Holder) and lying sacks of stuff (John Kerry). America got the worst of the radical left from the 60’s and yes, they do run America today.
Maybe not. But if you perhaps learned to communicate as an educated person who graduated high school we might listen.
Also, a nice touch would be NOT speaking like an anti-Black stereotype from the 1930s.
I left Dave a comment on the original thread...
“The civil rights era wasnt about stealing boxes of cigars.”
It would be hard to distinguish the modern era black community riots from the civil rights era riots. They both ended up about looting cigars and whatever.
Yes, and it also helps to establish new civil rights within the framework of the Constitution by doing the following. Civil righs activists need to work with lawmakers to petition the states to amend the Constitution for new specific rights, as opposed to supporting corrupt federal lawmakers who win votes by establishing PC rights without having the constitutional authority to do so.
I’m with you. I keep
Thinking I’m on the wrong planet because I can’t see racism in this incident whatsoever. Not getting it. It may be that these ferguson cops are the most vile klansmen in the world, but this case shows none of it.
Who among us thinks it is perfectly fine to act aggressively
With police, including smashing in an officer’s face? And that there would never be repercussions from it.
No. Ferguson was just another confirmation that the “civil rights” idiots have gone too far.
WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE OF THE FERGUSON RIOTS ?
All this inflamatory reporting of confrontations between black youths and authority is ruthlessly designed to keeping the black segment of Obamas political support riled up so that any thought of instituting a richly deserved impeachment proceeding goes nowhere.
This regime and its supporters dont give a damm if some poor black women or anyone else used all their resources to set up a business in those communities only to have it destroyed through blacks rioting resulting from what democrats created through their propaganda. Such blacks are viewed as eggs that must be broken to make their omlet.
Worse by continuing and reinforcing that racial division it is becoming clear that the regime and its propaganda army have created a vision that blacks have no moral compass or know right from wrong. Because anti social behavior is acceptable and the outcome of government policy that manifests itself in victims.
These includes the whites,hispanics (note quotes) and asians. They are the other victims who have been maimed, assulted, and murdered by blacks citing those Florida manufactured episodes as their excuse for retribution.
This POTUS (president of the United States) signaled the clever direction to take through his use of The Bully Pulpit. And continues to rely on the constitutional office of The US Attorney General to conduct activities and investigations which promote division rather than supress it. Two examples of this used in the Florida case were Holder’s support of the Black Panther’s protest activity and the reward for the demise of the alledged murderer George Zimmerman of the “child”, Treyvon Martin. Which got a wink and a nod
With Ferguson beside sending in 40 DoJ prosecuters which remain to be seen what they come up with. (The Washington Post sent in 4 reporters to work over officer Wilson). Holder demanded witholding the devastating release of the video showing the “victim”was a 6 foot 4 inch 295 pound Michael Brown assulting a dimunitive asian store clerk, who was being portrayed as a just turned 18 year old black”kid” innocently walking home to grandma’s house shot in the back by a white police officer, Wilson, just because Brown was black.
That video was released according to press reports by the police chief of Ferguson responding to FOIA (freedom of information act) requests. But had that video been released earlier there was a decent chance there might have not been 4 days of rioting looting, and destruction of property.
The POTUS has yet to acknowledge and decry those other results, of killings and assults by blacks of whites, “hispanics”, and asians, in retribution for what a “white” hispanic did to a black kid.. Let alone be urged to do so by news members of the democrat propaganda army known as the media. They have yet to suffer as their victims the same or any conseqences. They like him are being held unaccountable . Its time both are. .
While the Florida thing was going on nobody noticed what came out of HHS and its resettlement/relocation policies as a means to handle the racial divide. If Obama had his druthers and could pull it off wed be all living in urban centers taking a street car to work, store, and play living happily together in a utopian setting with our thermostats set at 67 degrees.
They and by they Im mean that political party which is in name only called democrat. There is nothing democratic about them. While the riots were going on you had a democrat governor calling for a vigorous prosecution and his state police commander marching with radicals flashing gang signs. With the cops reportedly told, let them riot. As the local state democrat representative repeats the propaganda dished out by the regime.
Not recognizing why this racial divide is being perpetuated has nothing to do with such lofty counter arguments being offered by the political opposition on equality or justice. Those discussions are viewed with glee and laughed at by the democrats because it first of all lends credability to their lying assertions and diverts focus from the real reason why the those in power are using this political device known as division. Its to keep them unquestioningly in power.
No.
The Ferguson affair will drop out of sight like a plunk in the loo just as soon as the professional agitators stop making money off it.
Point taken.
Civil rights are for civilized people.
“I recently saw a photo of Dr. King walking arm-in-arm with dozens of blacks and a few whites down a street. What struck me was how incredibly well dressed everybody was.”
Look at ANY movie from that era and compare what people are wearing in it to today’s “fashions” -the difference is shocking!!
They want to usher in social justice, an excuse to rape pillage and murder and blame it on their ethnicity and victimization by the white priviledged race
