What he’s saying blacks should be exempt from the rules that govern the rest of us because of past discrimination.
They shouldn’t have to obey the law, respect authority figures and take pride in their communities and in their country.
That’s the exactly the problem. Liberals believe blacks are subhumans and if they want to be that way, its racist to demand they conform to higher standards like the rest of society.
And they’re surprised Fergusons are burning in this country? C’mon.
Its the values, stupid.
Wrong tragedy because it’s a justified shooting by a police officer of a robber thug who punched then bum rushed a cop.
Wake America up to what?
That a small percentage of the population (young black males) commit a huge amount of crime? That’s THEIR fault for making poor choices and having, as the first Bush called it, a ‘poverty of values.’
Michael Brown would still be alive if he had not viciously attacked the cop and came back for more. Trayvon would still be alive if he hadnt viciously attacked Zimmerman.
Notice a pattern?
You mean a White guy has never tried to go for a cop’s gun before ?
Does anybody remember the unarmed black woman who crashed Obama's White House barricade...and they shot and killed her?
He is the one who is taking the "know nothing" position, not those who rightly understand that Brown was a thug.
These men were expressing a community-wide sense that the official keepers of order are morally bankrupt.
Right, John. LOL. Only an over-educated moron would write such a thing.
Just as during the robbery, Brown was certainly thinking that those who think robbery is wrong are morally bankrupt. Brown was a paragon of morality, don't you know...

This is typical elitist racism. Its the idea that young black men are justified strutting around like animals claiming territory in the middle of the street and then when asked to simply walk on the side walk they attack the officer go for his gun and then get shot and then shot and killed because they decide to charge the officer.
I’m so glad none of the black people I know and love fit in that category. I only encountered one thug of that caliber in my life and that was enough. I don’t expect any less from black people than I do of any other race and I feel that way about all people. My favorite teacher in school happened to be black as was my principle in Elementary school. Both were awesome ladies living and working in West Virginia. I had no idea for most of my life that such low class thug blacks even existed because most of the low class people I encountered in life were white.
I also grew up with an admiration of Martin Luther King Jr but the “civil rights” I see today doesn’t remotely resemble what he stood for and marched for. Its been turned into a race hustle exercise that demands a low class tribal justice not based on law but on perceived racial conflict and assumption of innate racism. I’m sorry but I don’t need to understand what causes a thug of any color to attack a police officer and try to take his gun and they certainly don’t deserve the countless hours of coverage that is denied those who are far more innocent and pass from this world unnoted because their deaths aren’t marketable.
America sure was asleep when they voted in the current occupant of the White House.
The only time magazine I would read.Michael Brown’s mother may face felony armed robbery charges: report
Lesley McSpadden allegedly led a group of 20 to 30 people to a tent in a parking lot in Ferguson, Mo. on Oct. 18 to beat and rob vendors selling ‘Justice for Michael Brown’ merchandise.

The mother of Michael Brown could be charged with felony armed robbery for allegedly attacking people in a Ferguson, Mo., parking lot because they were selling T-shirts honoring the late teenager.
The Ferguson Police Department is currently investigating claims that Lesley McSpadden brought a group of people — including her own mother — to beat vendors and rob them of their “Justice for Mike Brown” merchandise Oct. 18, The Smoking Gun has learned.
Time?
What’s Time?
Turn off Ferguson.They feed on attention.Turn it off every time it comes up in the news.
But we do know that Wilson fired the lethal final shots upon Brown coming back toward him. Firing these shots was indeed impulsive;
So after Wilson had already been in a life and death struggle with Brown and Brown starts coming back Wilson should assume that Brown was surrendering rather coming back for more.
At least the author has given up on the initial story of Wilson shooting Brown in the back or with his hands up. Now maybe the author can just read the eye witness testimony that Brown had his head down and was charging at Wilson.
How about Mike Brown just committed a robbery and he was feeling invincible. He had just strong armed a shopkeeper and knowing this he 1)might get arrested on the way home (Dorian Johnson admitted this) and 2)he strongarmed one person, why not a cop? With 100 percent suspension of disbelief, there is still no way to pin any part of this on Darren Wilson. Mike Brown 1)took cigars 2)pushed shopkeeper 3)mouthed officer 4)slammed door on officer 5)hit officer and reached for gun 6)did not get on ground when ordered 7)charged officer. Case closed.
John McWhorter is usually better than the average black liberal on various racial issues. He misses the boat on this one, though.
So long as black citizens continue to slaughter each other on a daily basis and commit other violent crimes far out of line with their percentage of the total population, there will continue to be a strong police presence in their neighborhoods. So long as white neighborhoods continue to have mostly quiet, law abiding citizens, there will be minimal police presence in their areas. Cops go where they are needed, not necessarily where they are wanted.
Sounds like a trial balloon (pun intended) for the basis of Holder’s civil rights case.
