When OJ was found not guilty, you did not see whites across the United States rioting, marching, burning down buildings, robbing, burning cars, blocking streets and freeways. There is definitely a different mentality between blacks and whites.

The second lesson: Black racist hatred of white cops is cut from the same evil cloth as any white racism.

I think there is more than just racism going on in Ferguson. I don't expect the MSM to show any curiosity about the culture of fear that prevails in the projects where Big Mike was shot, but c'mon, it's obvious many black people don't cooperate with poleece because they are much more afraid of their neighbors than they are of the law.

Until more blacks are productively employed and own homes, too many of them will live as “guests” here; I’m sure home ownership is tied to the inclination to riot/loot.

One reason many in government want to get everyone in homes (besides the tax stabilization benefits to municipalities) is the rising number of young whites & Hispanics with the same outlooks/behavior - they have no stake in the future of the areas in which they live.

George Gilder wrote many years ago that when the family structure among blacks started to break down in a big way during the 1960's due to the effects of Great Society programs, the herd mentality takes over, with black males increasingly turning to uncivilized criminal behavior. And you wonder why Detroit fell into ruin, South Central Los Angeles has never really recovered from the effects of the Watts riots, and now Ferguson will fall into ruin.

It’s tribalism.

Why would you need your own home when the government can virtually give you one forever on Section 8? Why do you need a job with TANF, WICs, SSI, EITC, SNAP and all the other utility assistance programs, ObamaPhone and the like.

Heck, if you blow all your EBT on hoho’s and Twinkies and some grass, you could hit up the local Church Pantry to tide you over to the first of the month.

Why would you need do anything but vote?

Yes, it is, and the pack of dogs living in my house enforce their established hierarchy far more humanely than these people do.

Just as Obama’s political career is over.

Absolutely; also, home ownership is tied to stability in employment, and anyone earning enough to make thirty years of payments on a home has forces scrambling furiously behind the scenes to either import “raplacement Americans” to do the work here or send their job overseas. Here in NJ the property taxes (thinly veiled means of funneling taxpayer dollars through the teachers’ unions to their political arm - the Democratic Party) are sufficient to keep the next generation (often earning low wages) from buying a home (or even a new car).

Several pundits were referring to Big Mike yesterday as a “kid”, including Juan Williams on FOX last night. I wonder just who is passing out the talking points memos.

I hoping he can be recalled or impeached. Can the law-abiding citizens of Ferguson sue him?

A protest I could support is blacks demanding jobs they are qualified for going to non-citizens. These protestors are being enabled so they don't fight the real fight. Instead they're providing a side show that is causing disgust with them, while blacks are being replaced by Hispanics.

JMHO

Today, black pastors and political leaders are the ones who must patiently and caringly mold the bent perceptions of those who labor under the falsehood that white racism, in or out of a police uniform, is their worst problem.
Let’s rephrase that: Today, the black pastors and political leaders who are worthy of respect and admiration the ones who must patiently and caringly mold the bent perceptions of blacks who are racists those who labor under the falsehood that white racism, in or out of a police uniform, is their worst problem.
Changing this sad status quo will be hard, because a racially healed America is bad news for . . . a media culture that thrives on racial discontent . . . politicians like Obama and Holder . . . opportunists who may have to get day jobs if the marketplace for riot-mongering dries up . . . [and] idle souls who lean on the crutch of white racism as an excuse for why they cannot be as productive as millions of their black brothers and sisters who have long since stopped whining about “the man.”
Changing this sad status quo will be hard, in short, because of Grubercrats.
