Looking at the non-stop unrest in Ferguson reminds me of what so much of America has become. Our ideology and unsettled grievances result in a tension that is keeping us apart from reason and if left unresolved will lead to even worse consequences and ramifications.
I see reasonable people in Ferguson who are willing to see due process play out. After all, 99.9% of us were not there when Michael Brown was shot by police office Darren Wilson. The facts are yet to be determined and that will take a reasonable amount of time.

a thug hit the cop in the eye fracturing the bone around it, then grabbed for his gun. The thug then tried to flee, the cop told him to freeze, then the thug, all 6 foot 4 and 292 pounds of him came at the officer to attack him again, so the officer shot him and killed him.
racial healing means agreeing with liberals and black leaders like sharpton and Jackson on everything when it comes to race
No thanks
I'd prefer an honest discuscussion: topic 1- why are so many blacks angry enough to riot when one black person gets killed by a white cop but could care less when thousands of blacks are killed by other blacks?
Brotherhood Of Man....
“When I get that feeling, I want racial healing...”
Let’s start with this:
Saint Louis is a cesspool. I hate that place. Reeks of decay.
Inner city black culture cannot be fixed from the outside. It must fix itself. I don’t know if it can.
