But white folks only really pay attention if they fear they have something to lose. Smoke flares in their nostrils, because then they are confronted with the possibility of charred, burning, white flesh.

Nice idea, except we all know blacks just burn down their own 'hoods. Have at it, ya'll!

And from her rant:

“If I have to begin by convincing you that Black Lives Matter,....”

She needs to address that plea to those blacks who are killing other blacks.

They are undone. We are undone. I am undone. This is what American democracy coming apart at the seams looks like.

This psychosis of the "black community" psyche is fascinating and utterly ridiculous. No amount of medical and forensic evidence can trump the ONLY piece of evidence they need--Michael Brown was black, therefore Wilson needs to go to prison. Period.

And we're the racists?

She just wants blacks to be able to commit thuggery at will, and without consequence.

“If I have to begin by convincing you that Black Lives Matter, we have all already lost, haven’t we?”

Michael Brown is dead because he was unconvinced that Indian and White Lives Matter.

I have an idea - rather than bothering about convincing the white man that black lives matter, concentrate on convincing black men to obey the law. That way, law enforcement doesn’t bother them, and voila, they don’t get shot.

Would Michael Brown be alive today were he a law-abiding citizen?

“But white folks only really pay attention if they fear they have something to lose. Smoke flares in their nostrils, because then they are confronted with the possibility of charred, burning, white flesh.” ........ maybe but there will be a pile of bodies around some of us and spent shell casings.

What an ignorant piece totally devoid of truth......

The problem was Michael Brown and the culture of entitlement and irresponsible behavior he was raised in. He robbed a store, then he took on a cop in the cop's car (6'6 and 280 pound little kid?) and he got shot! Too bad but it's his own fault that he died.

She needs to seriously get a copy of "White Girl Bleed a Lot" and look at a) how the wool has been pulled over the eyes of everyone as to the 'cause' of black discontent ("Oh, it's just a result of poverty." or "It's just kids blowing off steam."); and b) see that it's not the Baptists, or the Amish, or the cholos that are doing all these flash mob/run and loot things that dot the countryside now and then. It's not the Shriners that have created situations at public events that turn them into riots. It's not the Bronies who cause things to be cancelled because LEO can't deal with them the way they need to.

This sad, deluded little troll does so much bad to her people.

Me. Cooper, you need to ask yourself why you can feel comfortable with working at a university that has a race department which only considers “Africana studies” as worthy enough to formally name.

What kind of sick, twisted womyn are you?

That article really does tell us what’s wrong with America, and it’s not White racism. It’s non-Whites refusal to face the fact that their problems are self-inflicted.

Well, yeah.

I suspect most "white folks" are actually ashamed to admit that what has become normative from a cultural standpoint for black people is ingrained in American culture and politics.

I also suspect that most "white folks" don't give a flaming sh!t about any racial or ethnic group that seems to have limited itself to two career options: (1) stealing cigars from a convenience store, and (2) Women's and Gender Studies and Africana Studies.

She also needs to convince black parents of the same...Does anyone ANYONE here no of ANYBODY’s child who would behave in such a way toward a cop the way Michael Brown did that day? Do you know ANYONE who would act in such a way?

Yesterday, one of my black students said that “Anyone would have acted the way Michael Brown did toward that cop.”

My jaw dropped and I realized I would be able to teach that student precious little.

There are no disciplined acts of resistance that will restore dignity to Michael Brown’s life.

If Mr. Brown lived a life with even a little dignity he would be alive today.

I have long realized that reasoning with a Liberal is like roping a cloud. Can’t be done and useless to try. Liberals deal with emotions. Facts have no meaning.

Ghetto Blacks have been conditioned to FEEL that they are entitled to do things to pay for their years of slavery. Even the regime and the jello-spined Congress refer to “entitlements”. Ghetto people FEEL that they are above the law because the white man’s law has held them back.

The FACTS are you are endowed by the Creator with life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That’s it. Everything else you have to WORK for it.
