“Finally, they’d got to the Promised Land”,
and
find they have to work for a living that is not what they expected or wanted

‘...and here in Seattle there’s Planned Parenthood just down the street from the Mount Zion Baptist Church helping to reduce black family size.’

As an aside, Seattle is among the whitest of major cities. The black population is less than 8%. 8%!. The City has more than 650,000 and 70% are white. That is just amazing for a major city!

We know that the communists, their sympathizers, and useful idiots took advantage of discontent and helped to foment riots of the 60s.

This riot in Ferguson has obviously been orchestrated too. For one thing, look at the professional made signs that magically appeared with the same message and all of the out of towners encouraging bad behavior.

History is full of angry people scapegoating others and blaming them for all their problems. Hitler blamed the Jews. Powerful voices including politicians, the press, and others find it quite useful to blame white people - especially a white LEO.

They would rather blame someone, than take the actions needed to solve their problems, because that might cause them to have to admit their culpability, put forth an effort, get a job, show up for work - etc. etc.

Nothing has changed since the ‘60s? Only an idiot a liar or someone born yesterday would say that.

Blacks should view the injustice of slavery as a huge sacrifice made by their ancestors which brought them to a better place. Would they really rather be back in Africa?

Not unlike the slaughtering of millions of innocent Jews paving the way for the birth of Israel.

look.... cut through the BS... when all the phoney excuses for FAILURE are removed and you are still a FAILURE... then the recognition sets in that it is NOT SOCIETY’s FAULT.... it’s your own damn fault.... EDUCATION OPPORTUNITY IS THERE, JOBS ARE THERE, the American Dream is there and many racial minorities reap and enjoy the benefits.... THOSE WHO DONT.... LOOK IN THE MORROR...but it’s much easier to listen to race hustlers who say ITS NOT YOUR FAULT ITS THEIR FAULT....lets riot....

Of course, the underlying error is that the "Civil Rights" laws actually were expected to improve the quality of life in minority communities. That expectation was based upon the distorted focus, which led to an abandonment of the wise & constructive approach of such leaders as Booker T. Washington in favor of a Marxist, grievance viewed, approach of the "Civil Rights" movement.

Under Washington's leadership, the social structure of the Black communities in the South was clearly improving. The diversion to the grievance model--as old as the fall of Adam & Eve in Genesis--is a clear example of what does not now, and never has, worked to human betterment.
