How Was This Man Elected?

he protests in Ferguson, Missouri, over the police killing of 18-year-old Michael Brown are eliciting predictable glee from Russian media outlets, some of which are making it seem as if a race war is about to break out in America.
An RT article, “Protests Against Police Tyranny have Spread Across the Main Cities of the USA," suggested that the nation is on the brink of chaos as the "rage of Americans ... spreads across the entire country." Sputink i Pogrom, a nationalist newsmagazine, tweeted out, "What do you think? Should Russia grant Obama asylum in Rostov after the Ferguson Maidanites occupy Washington?" And Svobodnaya Pressa, a popular Russian news website, ran an article calling the Ferguson protests “AfroMaidan,” in reference to Euromaidan protests in Kiev, Ukraine, earlier this year.
In that Svobodnaya Pressa article, Sergei Bespalov, the docent of the humanities division of the Russian Academy of Agriculture and State Service, attributes the events in Ferguson in part to the “fact” that white Americans have “prejudice towards African-Americans … in their blood.” Bespalov predicts further unrest, adding that “if [Obamacare] is cancelled, this could … provoke racial conflicts,” and that “a significant part of African-Americans and Latinos could perceive [Obamacare’s cancellation] as a challenge from the white majority.”
It’s hardly surprising that the Russian media jumped on the opportunity to use the events in Ferguson as “proof” of American hypocrisy. But explicitly linking Ferguson to Maidan reveals the Kremlin's deep fear of dissent—the fear that any breakdown in authority will automatically lead to widespread chaos. Look at what happens, these articles imply, when you give the people too much power.
The Race War, much like our War With Islam, is acknowledged by very few, and almost none in the media.
Obama would LOVE an Actual Race war...
So would Holder...
Do they know how SMALL Ferguson is, and how HUGE the USA is?
When has a 12% minority ever defeated a 72% majority in world history? I can think of no such example and I’m a pretty big history buff. Can anyone here show me such an occasion?
Sooner than later, I'm afraid.
CIA / OLD KGB time and efficiency rule # 1:
If you are trying to conquer a territory and there are divided factions within it fan the flames of war and let them kill themselves first then move in and take it over. Much ammo, time and money saved...
I suspect that the NR would be telling Russia that a race war was brewing if Romney were president
We are living in BRA: Black Run America.
Like Mr. Obama, they only know what they read in the funny papers.
Exhibit A: Poland.
The ENTIRE country? Lol! It will be a very short war here in West Virginia, the population is 93.9% White and 3.4% Black...
Bottom line...Gods withdrawing his protection over our nation as it once was....letting man see himself for what he really is and that he cannot control the basic nature within ..alone.
Gee? Maybe we should American blacks the way Russia treats Africans, Jews, East Asians and East Europeans. Oh, to be a Pole married to an Angolan and living in Moscow.
No. But they are trying to fan the flames. Little would benefit them more than us being distracted by internal events.

Amen to that.
