....In a broader nationwide survey, taken around the first week of September, 91 percent of blacks said Wilson should be charged, while only 42 percent of whites said that.
Why the wide disparity?
“The story is [probably] one of lived experience,” says Josh Pasek, a University of Michigan sociologist who helped conduct the nationwide survey.

Whei I was young in the small town south police didn’t shoot dogs or smash into your house because of unpaid parking tickets but we knew not to run from a cop if he told you to “Stop or I’ll shoot!” and not to assault a cop. Lifespans tended to get shortened doing that.
“Truth no longer matters. It is not the highest value our society seeks any longer.”
Aint’ that the truth!
They ought to include a question that determines the source of information used to come to their conclusion.
Although, that might be too revealing. nec’estpas?
“Blacks have poor views of cops because they grow up being taught that which in turns makes them more hostile to law enforcement and more likely to have a bad experience.”.
“Bad experiences” are brought upon by ones self. If you do not follow or break the laws of this land, no doubt you will at some time be confronted by a law enforcement officer. Blacks seem to have difficulty understanding that, not all but most.
Following the shooting of Mike Brown and for some time, I had no idea what the issues or evidence was which would have swayed my opinion one way or the other. Having heard most of the evidence that has come out, my opinion is to NOT CHARGE officer Wilson for defending his own life. END OF STORY! My opinion however, does not count, it is what the GJ decides that really matters. Unfortunately the blacks don’t seem to see it that way.
“Remember the jubilation among blacks when o.j. was found “not guilty”?”...........
You left out a few important words like..”when o.j. was guilty as sin and found not guilty”.
Which explains how Obama got elected twice.
It is tempting to turn this into a black vs white issue
But this is just another example of how mob rule is taking the place of justice.
And it is entirely possible to be found entirely innocent in a court of law and yet still suffer consequences of what the mob thinks should happen.
Other examples:
- George Zimmerman vs black mobs
- Scott Walker vs Union mobs
- Hermann Cain vs public opinion mobs
- Bill Cosby vs public opinion mobs
- Washington Redskins vs media mobs
It’s because blacks are proudly illiterate and predispoaed to reflexive tribalism ... just like fire ants.
A two month old survey has no credibility. A lot of water has flowed under the bridge since then. Residents near this area cleaning out gun shops tells me a whole bunch more about how people are thinking.
CSM is doing what liberals do. They follow the meme, use blacks and minorities, and collect the profits.
Lived experience plus mythology.
O.J. was found “not guilty” because the idiot prosecutor did not realize that a mostly-black jury was not going to convict a black man, particularly not a black sports hero, for killing a couple of crackers.
It’s just about as smart as stepping barefoot on an angry rattlesnake. The nearly inevitable outcome is painfully predictable.
I think a lot are taught “life is unfair”. However, being stated that way they see everyday living as an injustice.
Being told “life is not fair” throttles expectations. Being told “life is unfair” sets them.
The cops ride the Indians in Alaska too. The state cops get to know the Indians vehicles and pull every last one of them over, always find them drinking booze. Almost every Indian has several DWIs, and have been to the pokey over the multiple arrests. Ya know, there are two perspectives to the increased attention to the Indians.
I figure Blks feel just like the Indians do; but not sure cause no Blks live within 300 miles of my community; no crime to speak of either; enough said I guess.
"'Cause we does the crimes, so dey after us all da time. Dat be rayciss..."
You're right. Affirmative Action, for example, is a hate crime wrapped inside something like a too good to pass up, no down, high interest, rent to own scheme.
It puts into legal stone and mandates "second class victim" status for black America while making the deal so sticky sweet few want to get clean or can if they want to, should they ever figure out what's been done to them.
Like with sports, reality is merit based. If you can play, you play; if you can't play, you don't. Affirmative Action isn't merit based like reality is and forces the belief that all players are the same and all must play.
That's not how things work in life and all sorts of bad stuff flow from this bad law.
Affirmative action being played in real life means that victim status, and the accepted reasons why victimhood is happening, are re-enforced, not challenged, and rewarded by politicians so we have more, not less, generation after generation.
Its a trap straight out of the Satan's playbook and works like a charm.
No wonder Saul Alinsky dedicated his stuff to Satan and no wonder the demonrat party, the original party of slavery, devoted themselves to both in this upside down world.
What we need to ask is why is the Ferguson mob being stirred up again? Perhaps to distract black people from the Obama Amnesty that will let in millions of illegals to compets with legal black citizens for jobs and benefits.
I would just love to see some enterprising blacks take advantage of the protest cameras and actually protest the unlawful amnesty.
