We Are Not Darren Wilson: But the view from Africa kind of makes it look like we are

How many of the Africans asked were told that Saint Brown of Swisher attacked Officer Wilson and tried to take his pistol before he was shot.

And this woman saved me from taking a drink but will probably be punished by her publisher. I thought it was obligatory to say “killed the unarmed black TEENAGER”. She said “the cop who killed Michael Brown. “

Hey!

Halloween is in October. This is just January 3rd!

Then again, it could have been a pic of Moochelle 0bama...

She is what folks around here commonly refer to as ‘rode hard and put up wet a few too many times’...

Thanks for posting.

The author forgot to mention that a hundred million Africans would move to the USA tomorrow if they had a few months of savings and legal documents.

I doubt if a hundred thousand Black Americans would voluntarily and permanently move to Africa.

The weird thing is that she chose that picture to accompany her published work. She likes it. She thinks she looks great.

Way back in 1980 in eastern Uganda and old woman came up to me and asked, “Please, when are the British coming back?” (I am of the ‘lighter persuasion’, i.e. ‘white’, so she assumed that I was British)

Her knowledge of British rule came from personal experience, not from a college course taught a professional hippie leftist or from articles written by a starry eyed journalist who “want to make a difference” and who had once been taught by said professional hippie leftist professors.

In Mali in the 90’s a villager told me “you know what this country needs... Re-colonization!”

Neither British not French colonial rule were perfect, but “Perfect is the enemy of good”. Sir Robert Watson-Watt, who developed early warning radar in Britain to counter the rapid growth of the Luftwaffe, propounded a “cult of the imperfect”, which he stated as “Give them the third best to go on with; the second best comes too late, the best never comes.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_is_the_enemy_of_good
