As they ran through a cloud of tear gas during demonstrations in Ferguson, Missouri, on Monday, Andre Ellis, 17, linked arms with Graig “Shine” Cook, a self-identified Bloods gang member who’d befriended him two nights earlier.

“What we doing now that they gassed us?” asked Ellis, the Bloods’s newest recruit, half his face covered with a red handkerchief traditionally worn by the gang’s members. “Should we go home?”

“Nah, we going to get more batch,” said Cook, using a slang term for the mixture of gasoline and nail polish remover that a handful of protesters had used to make the Molotov cocktails they’d hurled at police. “Then we coming back on them bitches.”

I’m thinking this could be a teachable moment. It’ll take time to play out, though.

We’ve had an unassimilated permanent, violent underclass for five decades now.

Just one reason some looters get shot during riots.

Well, in my opinion they're shooting entirely too few of 'em. Is there a buckshot shortage in Ferguson?

Too bad the kid didn’t join a community college instead of a gang.
But bettering one’s self takes work.

...I keep saying this, until such a time as it no longer true (never, IMO), but the unassimlated, permanent underclass is the obvious legacy of importing Stone Age peoples to do labor, and withholding from them the means of assimilation...and with the foreknowledge that these same people would one day be freed and set among the society at large...

...that the legacy turned violent is not surprising...young males lacking social skills are the greatest menace facing and civilization, and these abound in the permanent non-assimilation, and eventually, inevitably, the structures underpinning civilized behavior will be torn down...

...it is the history of mankind...I agree with another point you made, avoiding (or at least limiting) contact with blacks being the safest practice...

It is a shame, but I wouldn’t risk there lives to be PC.

This didn’t have to turn out this way; the welfare state of the War on Poverty coupled with the simultaneous eradication of a lowest-common-denominator Christianity in public life in the US simply reduced them to experimental guinea pigs for a post-Christian country.
