To be black is to be a victim – and then get blamed for it. To focus on the people’s resistance more than police repression devalues black life.
We’ve had enough of the police brutality, of the colorblind mythologies and post-racial rhetoric, of the sweet-talk, of the calls for non-violence; of mass incarceration and systemic poverty, of trigger happy cops and crying black mothers, of the Eric Garners and Renisha McBrides, the Michael Browns and Tarika Wilsons; of black tears and white terror. Dr Martin Luther King Jr said in 1968: “A riot is the language of the unheard”. Today, nearly 50 years later, black America demands to not only be heard but heeded – by any means necessary.
This week in Ferguson, Missouri, there has been more backlash over the resistance of a few black (and some white) protestors than the violence of white police. Meanwhile, according to organizers on the ground, it has mainly been (white) outsiders inciting violence to promote their own agenda. As the writer Sarah Kendzior tweeted: “White people coming to STL to provoke police violence against black residents and get them blamed”. More than blamed: black people are left to bear the brunt of the political mess white infiltration leaves behind, be it by the National Guard or outside organizers.
As Sean Beale, a 27-year-old local, told the Guardian: “If you don’t live here you don’t worry about the burning and looting. You don’t worry about stores closing, or losing your job, or walking for miles to buy food.”(continued)

Says a socialist writing from across the pond and would probably have a hard time finding St. Louis on a map, let alone Ferguson.
He also said that the Nation of Islam and other black separatist/nationalist groups were no better than the white supremacist groups.
I read enough to get a taste, then had to cheat and searched Mr. Nyle Fort.
Nope. No surprises.
Governor Nixon has made it clear that a vigorous prosecution of the cop is absolutely necessary and politically necessary. Holder will be ready for a backup Federal indictment and prosecution. The facts or real justice matter little. Now what matters is the narrative and placating the Obama base.
Well it looks like he is on this side of the pond. Probably still couldn’t find his own @$$ in the dark.
These people are completely mad ... They went bonkers a long time ago, now they're exploring new, uncharted depths of pure, stark raving insanity.
All of it instigated by the red diaper doper “68 revolution” babies of old.
Loyal cultists determined to take down the lone ship that is America.
Dr Martin Luther King Jr said in 1968: “A riot is the language of the unheard”. Today, nearly 50 years later, black America demands to not only be heard but heeded—by any means necessary. …Would be a demagogue who takes King out of context deliberately. That quote is within the context of King insisting on strict nonviolence and speaking against the violent “black power” movements of his day.
Number one, no other racial group has been a slave on American soil. …Sorry, Dr. King, but that is completely false. Perhaps you should have studied history a little closer.
A false victim, to boot. Let them go to their ideal socialist paradises and see what real victimhood is.
The pay is pretty good. Beats real work.
Then, the same thug fractures the eye socket of a cop who then shoots him in self-defense. The British have historically been among the most racist people on the planet, they ought to just STFU! They have absolutely NO cause to babble about American alleged “white supremacy”!
unlike the weekly black on black killings which appear to be of little importance to the black community...
String Derren Wilson UP! Give him to the lynch mob in Ferguson!/S
Apparently it pays well enough to cover tuition room and board at Princeton.
Take a look at #24 - adorable kitty gif. (Ignore the article; ‘tis silly.)
