The violent protests in Ferguson, Mo., are part of the American experience. Peaceful protesting is a luxury only available to those safely in mainstream culture

[The KG9 Kid]

This is quite possibly the dumbest thing I've ever read coming from a liberal-assed white woman.

And that's saying something.

[fortheDeclaration]

Yes, a tradition that needs to be brought back!

[eyedigress]

Comparing it to the Boston Tea Party..... Wow.

Isn’t this the same publication that said Men not crossing their legs while seated is an affront to metro-sexuals?

Meh.

These “White Privilege” tools are like... so annoying!

[Reno89519]

I prefer the time-honored tradition of shooting looters.

[PghBaldy]

Maybe when we have a black President, there will be no more riots/sarcasm

Darlena should be dating the GWU student who got mugged and can’t criticize the thugs who did it because of his “privilege”. I’m betting that he crosses his legs when he sits (and probably sits to pee).

[VanDeKoik]

I wonder if they were fans of the New York City draft riots?

Since their grasp of history is likely really poor,they lose on whatever answer they give.

When you fit the profile, blue skies abound

Darlene's quotes:

I grew up in a white, affluent suburb, where failure seemed harder than success. In college, I studied biology and journalism. I worked for good money at a local hospital, which afforded me the opportunity to network at journalism conferences. That’s how I landed my first news job as an associate producer in Hartford, Conn. I climbed the ladder quickly, free to work any hours in any location for any pay. I moved from market to market, always achieving a better title, a better salary. Succeeding.

Martin Luther King was safely in the mainstream culture? Who knew?

[freeangel]

Well, since white, gun toting christians are now out of “mainstream culture”, should I suggest we riot and burn blck neighborhoods to the ground every time there is a black on white crime. I have a feeling that there would be a whole lot more rioting going on than there is now.

[MeshugeMikey]

RIots of a Size and scope that heretofore would have been Unimaginable.would ensue Nationwide...and thats not even figuring in the Mooselim factor...

[MeshugeMikey]

These people truly “live” in an alternate “reality don’t they..

this woman almost makes al sharpton seem sane....almost
