Can Ferguson's Black leaders gain power next April?
Reuters ^ | 10 Nov 2014 | Alistair Bell

(Reuters) - This troubled suburb of St. Louis is warily awaiting the decision of a grand jury that could indict a white policeman for the killing of black teenager Michael Brown.

But African-American leaders are casting one eye beyond the decision to an election next year that might, finally, tip the balance of power in their favor.

In April, three of Ferguson’s six city council seats are up for grabs and African-Americans have a chance to end decades of white domination.

I'm in East Africa at this very moment and traveling the streets of Nairobi I can attest to the fact that black politicians having control of everything,without a single white face in sight,ain't working out too well for them.This place would have to advance by 500 years to qualify as "primitive".

But my hotel *does* have electricity and the internet.

I am thoroughly convinced that Negroid Race simply does not have the ability to govern themselves. I offer up Detroit, Gary, Oakland, Newark and most of Africa as evidence.

Prove me wrong.

And precisely what good would it do to elect black leaders? DC has black leaders, and the public schools are crap.

Explains everything we see in the real world regarding race...

It is my firm belief that two groups of people that are easily identifiable AND have significantly different AVERAGE IQs will never be able to peacefully coexist together.

It is sad and tragic, but given human nature, I just don’t see how it can be otherwise.

They have leaders?

You mean those rabble-rousing thugs?

Or….can’t think of anyone else. Is there anyone else?

Go for it, Fergie. Just give the white folks a head start on getting out if town. The ferals are bad enough as they are... imagine them when they find out their kind is in charge.

You have to look at the totality of those situations. The white people, especially in Africa, plundered those rich, advanced cultures and left them a waste land for the native inhabitants. When the indigenous black people regained their land, the resources were all gone so they could not succeed. (Does there need to be a sarcasm tag here?)

The entire nation has black leaders and, along with the entire school system, this whole nation has turned to crap.

Reuter’s Alistair Bell demonstrates the bias and influence MSM has over news coverage of what happens in the US. There probably was nothing stopping blacks for running for office locally here. But it is an example of the way socialist’s work.

It was the imposition by the regime using the “Bully Pulpit” to use racial encitement to save it’s sorry ass of ineptitude and corruption and prevent any investigation of it no matter what the cost in lives and property and the reason it was employed. And was supported by the agenda driven media which has yet to answer for it’s irresponsibility.

One word by the leadership against much of the result would have nipped any protracted dicord in the bud. But won’t happen because it’s too usefull to this regime.

Judging by responses I think FR’s should consider what is occuring and why. Not feed off the regimes use of racial discord.

Can Ferguson’s Black leaders gain power next April?


Can whites move out by July and turn Ferguson into a mini-Detroit? Race hate is not a wealth producer.

African-Americans have a chance to end decades of white domination.

**************

My guess is they’ve had the chance for sometime but have failed to execise their
voting previleges. Furgeson is approx. 65% black and about 30% white. Thus they
should dominate the council seats it would seem. There are three districts with
two council members per district. One out of six seats isn’t very good.
