How Ferguson Changed America

At least there's this in the article:

“There is no credible evidence that Wilson willfully shot Brown as he was attempting to surrender or was otherwise not posing a threat.”

And after all, what really matters?

Fergusen did not change anything, it merely refocussed an old left wing tactic. Distract the blacks with a shiny object.

Black unemployment twice that of whites and highest of all groups.
Black representation in crime exceeds population presence by leaps and bounds.
Blacks killing each other and no one cares.

Offer up some urban myth and the blacks are mesmerized.
Offer up a flag and the blacks are mesmerized.

Same old tactic ramped up for the new century.

I do not recall seeing anything about Miriam Carey -- did I miss it?

If not then I have a question:

if it's not a race grievance industry how come they never mention her?

She made a u-turn near Obama's White House, was chased by all levels of LEO, and gunned down by a hail of bullets crashing through metal and glass, whizzing all around the head of her infant daughter.

If the president was white would the race grievance industry still ignore her?

Where's the Obama-Holder demagogues on that?

If it's not a race grievance industry how come they never mention the federal government's own facts as I do above in by first post.. BTW don't be turned off by all that, there are descriptions by using hover. At least it works on PCs don't know about smart phones.

Always and forever Evil Whitey is the mischief maker

Yakub (sometimes spelled Yacub or Yakob) is, according to the Nation of Islam (NOI), a black scientist who lived "6,600 years ago" and was responsible for creating the white race to be a "race of devils". He is said to have done this through a form of selective breeding referred to as "grafting", while living on the island of Patmos.

FYI. I know ... wikipedia. Still, they have enough external references to establish credibility. IMO.

Brown’s body sat in the summer sun, slumped and face down, blood pooling in the street where he was killed.

How can you be slumped and also face down?

[driftless2]

I read and heard about all that NOI/Yacub crap fifty years ago. I thought it was maybe just a small pct. of the black population who swallowed that junk.

But reading excerpts from the book of the latest big black whiner, T Coates, makes me believe many blacks still believe that hokum. How a sane person can look at the mountain of blacks killed annually by other blacks and still blame Evil Whitey indicates to me people who have a severe disconnect with reality.

Headline sometime in 2087:

Black deaths continue, failures also continue.. puzzles scientists, must still be at least one still alive
Last Known White Human Dies
President, Congress promise to "find that one white and eliminate our problems forever."

Speaking of black Muslims I wonder what the employee of Slate feels about knockout games.. seems to be copying -- or is a form of Death Angels that are described as "an offshoot of the Muslim religion".

From Amazon books. A customer writes:

This book recounts the horrifying crime spree known as the Zebra killings that happened in the Bay Area in the early 1970's. This spree, committed by black members of an offshoot of the Muslim religion, was done in an attempt for the murderers to win "Death Angel" status. This dubious honor was given to any "true believer" who murdered a certain number of white children, white women, or white men, or a combination of the three. (One received more credit for slaying a child or woman than a man supposedly because it would take more fortitude to do it. However, the author believes [with good reason, I think] it had more to do with the murderers being cowards afraid of anyone who might fight back.) Taking place over several months, the killers took several lives and wounded others in their barbaric attempt to win Death Angel wings. The author does a splendid job in recreating the events as well as allowing the reader to get inside the head of the people who actually believed it to be an honor to murder others. What is even more chilling than the specific Zebra murders is the fact that other Death Angels supposedly existed in California and could be walking the streets even today. For those with a strong stomach wishing to find out about a savage wave of crime (a wave that has strangely been forgotten), this is a must read.

Rubbish. America has changed after Ferguson, all right - but not in the way this guy imagines.
