(CNN) – The Friendly Temple Missionary Baptist Church in Ferguson, Missouri, is preparing for a very big day. Come Monday, the seats will be full of mourners to remember Michael Brown.

The church's special events manager Denise Makey is busy preparing for the largest event the congregation has ever seen, making room for more than 5,000 people.

(snip)

The church, led by Rev. Michael Jones, is expecting a huge crowd for the service, which will be public at the request of the Brown family. The details of the program are still being worked out, but the eulogy will be delivered by Rev. Al Sharpton, who has been active in the political action surrounding Brown's death.

This whole Ferguson event will make a fantastic Gospel/Rock Opera, cause everybody is acting way over the top. “Michael, Can You Hear Me? Can I Really Hear You?”

The music at the funeral should be great. Such a loss of a great talent. Terrific lyricist. Who’ll ever be able to forget his classic masterwork, “Smokin’ Dope and F*ckin’ Hoes”, recorded only days before the world lost this gentle giant of a man.

Disgusting.

I do believe Mr. Brown’s soul is in Heaven. His sins, I hope, were forgiven as he accepted them. I do hope Mr. Brown found his salvation in the last moments of his life on this earth. I certainly pray the boy is at peace with God and Jesus. I really do.

But imagine your trip to eternity is polluted by the words of the bigot Al Sharpton. I do hope God allows our MP3 players to purge the hateful messages of the hypocrites like Sharpton, Obama, and Jackson.

OBAMA, HOLDER,SHARPTON AND THE RACE WAR

RACE BAITERS ...

Just in Chicago, every week end, dozens of blacks are murdered and wounded by black and nobody in the black leadership, neither Obama, nor Holder or the race pimps, care. When Blacks kill Blacks, there are not mob protesting and rioting, neither Holder’s Justice Department would send 50 special agents to investigate and prosecute the culprits of a single case.

A 2007 special report released by the Bureau of Justice Statistics, reveals that approximately 8,000 — and, in certain years, as many as 9,000 African Americans are murdered annually in the United States. This chilling figure is accompanied by another equally sobering fact, that 93% of these murders are in fact perpetrated by other Blacks. The analysis, supported by FBI records, finds that in 2005 alone, for example, African Americans accounted for 49% of all homicide victims in the US — again, almost exclusively at the hands of other African Americans.

When the murderer is Black and the victim is White, the media do not mention the race of the criminal.

To put these number in perspective, recall that over 6,400 U.S. service men and women have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan combined over the course of a decade-long war fought in those nations.

If a Black police officer in the fulfillment of its duty happen to kill another Black, an Hispanic or a white person, the media will not accuse the officer as murderer even before the details of the case are known as it happens when the officer is a white policeman and the dead person is Black.

”Perhaps it is time that Americans were finally told the truth about the police, so they might avoid falling prey to the self-serving lies of the aforementioned, self-anointed guardians of “civil rights.”

”The Bureau of Justice Statistics reports that in 1998, fully 62 percent of the 367 suspects killed by police officers nationwide were white, and 35 percent were black. In fact, police killings of white suspects have outnumbered those of black suspects in every single year since 1978.”

” black officers are far likelier to shoot black suspects than are white officers. In 1998, for instance, the black-officer-kills-black-felon rate was 32 per 100,000 black officers – much higher than the white-officer-kills-black-felon rate of 14 per 100,000 white officers.”

”While part of this disparity is due to the fact that black officers often tend to be assigned to black neighborhoods, clearly no case can be made from these numbers that white officers are in any way “trigger-happy” when confronting black suspects.”

”The intra-racial nature of most police shootings has existed for many years. Between 1976 and 1998, about 65 percent of homicides by police officers were against suspects of the same racial background. The rate at which white officers shoot black suspects has been declining steadily for two decades, while the rate at which they shoot white suspects has remained fairly constant over that same period. When a white officer kills a suspect today, that suspect is usually white (63 percent). When a black officer kills a suspect, that suspect is usually black (81 percent).”

”Overall, black officers are slightly likelier than white officers to kill a suspect in the line of duty. Indeed whites comprise 87 percent of all police nationwide, but account for only about 80 percent of homicides against criminal suspects, regardless of race. Meanwhile blacks, who constitute 11 percent of American police officers, are responsible for about 17 percent of homicides against criminal suspects.”

”Some readers may find this information shocking, particularly in light of the media’s and the civil rights establishment’s disproportionate focus on instances of white officers killing black suspects.”

The rest of the history
