...The letter, called An Open Letter From Ferguson Protestors [sic] and Allies, equates the current situation in Ferguson and the United States with slavery and lynchings.
We are living an American Horror Story, the letter begins.
It continues later (emphasis theirs): Not one group of us has been spared from the bullet or the beating, too many armed only with our Blackness, left to live this American Horror Story. The story has come alive once again in Ferguson.
The authors then go on to assert that whites intentionally disregard the plight of African Americans because they do not want to come to terms with how racist their system of oppression has been. Ours were the bodies, served up as notice to remain humbly and quietly in our place, never to awaken Americas fear of Blackness, the letter explains.
...The letter promises that because there is no "justice," there will be no "peace." It goes further, explaining next (emphasis theirs):
"Even in the face of this terror, we will continue to force the readers and writers of this, a most American of horror stories, to face the blackness that they fear, the blackness they have spent this entire story trying to erase, trying to soften, trying to co-opt, trying to escape."
It then specifically calls white people out as the creators of their oppression, writing, "We will no longer allow you to escape this story and pretend that the epidemic of black lives dying by white hands is merely a figment of an active Black imagination. You must come face to face with the horror that we live daily."

“The letter is signed by over four dozen Ferguson leaders.”
No it isn’t. The letter isn’t “signed” by anyone: a bunch of twitter handles are listed at the end instead of any actual names or signatures, and I doubt if any of them actually live in Ferguson and I doubt any of them are actual “leaders” either.
I think Whites are sick of hearing and that THAT is what is going to come out of this Ferguson crap. This whole leftist gin-up there is so last century.
I need to see these people soaked with the water cannons on a bitter cold Missouri night. Please make this happen!
Which would make us the assailants. The massing together should happen when they leave the environs of Ferguson and invade other communities. Then it becomes self-defense.
I tuned out at the end of Season One.

What could possibly grow wrong with a mindset such as that....Sharpton stirring the pot and Obama telling them to stay the course???
If these ‘demonstrators’ put one half the time and energy into working and addressing their cultures violent mindset, teaching their kids otherwise they would go far. They have far too much time on their hands and take no responsibility for their actions...
Since Ferguson and their display at the UN I don’t believe a word they say anymore and just don’t care. They want someone else to fix their broken culture when they are the ONLY ones who can do that.
If whitey dont win, we all jump in.
Sekou is a St. Louis native who grew up in the area but now lives in Massachusetts. He's "home" to join the family
Here he is showing little children and other protesters and activistes how it's to be done...and then they wonder why their kids grow up to also be violent
The so called black clergy there don't appear to be helpful in calming the situation, quite the opposite
If King was alive today he would be ashamed and embarrassed by this entire display that lack any concrete direction or leadership at all.
Well , the 'CLOWN PRINCE' instructed them to "STAY THE COURSE "
and they were so busy bowing that they didn't notice
that the Prince was naked !
There is a difference between the terrorism in Fuerguson and the assault in Israel. Here is Israel's response :
Israels ambassador to the United Nations Ron Prosor condemned the murders, warning against incitement and calls for days of rage across the territories.
Prosor said. I have to tell the American people, and everyone else, Israel is on the front line in countering terrorism.
If youre not with us today, he said, you'll find terrorism on your doorstep tomorrow.
We will not surrender to terror.
We will stand strong and defend our city from those who try to disturb the peace of our capital, he (Prosor) added.
Israel then loosened the restrictions for citizens to be armed for self-defense. The country and its citizens defend themselves.
In Ferguson , the families didn't throw out the protesters, order out the media , and look what its gotten them - another possible riot and looting ("Staying the Course").
There’s no comparison between Ferguson and Israel, not even remotely.
But you’re right that the Ferguson people haven’t handled this well at all...and likely won’t...what we are seeing is they are being taught and instructed sort of like another trial run....With the Black leadership in this country facilitating much of it, though they have difficulty relating to the youth how to go about doing this effectively...because frankly most of the people don’t even know what this is suppose to accomplish for the black community.
It’s all to let the lower end of the black community “vent” their rage so those who control them and keep them handy when they want to use them, can continue to do so without them coming after them!
If this is the best bloody shirt they can come up with it’s pretty p*ss poor.
That what moves me to wonder. Why didn’t they pick a situation where any racism was easier to prove. Instead it’s like in their hate, they just made up their mind to blame Whitey in some unwise confrontation.
This is beyond logic. This is a hot line to hell and it is asking to get stomped on but good no matter what color you are.
At some point, aren’t even some of these low fellows going to have it dawn on them, that they have been had?
Be my guest.......oh, will talk about the 30% registration fee later. lol
You can come visit it any time :-)
FACING the “blackness” is infinitely better than getting sucker-punched in the back of the head by it!
Even here where there isn't any black culture?
