The author, an admitted communist, thinks that a small minority is going to start a revolution?

Wait a minute! I totally oppose police, regardless of whether they are white or black, who conduct illegal searches. Unless they had probable cause that that black man was committing a crime, they had absolutely no moral or legal (per the US Constitution) right to search him.

That said, that man’s forebears did not build this country for “free,” and even if they did, what in the world does that have to do with the here and now? No one owes black people anything for what may or may not have happened generations ago (400 years is stretching it I think). This man sounds like someone who is steeped in grievance history. No one deserves anything more or less than equal treatment under the law—no special privileges or penalties regardless of race, sex, or religion.

There is the view that Black Americans have of themselves, and there is the view that other Americans have of Black Americans. It seems there is only a very small pct. of Black Americans who are willing to get on with their lives without blaming white Americans for their, Black people's, problems.

Many non-Black Americans (if they haven't already) are starting to get the feeling that there will never be some kind of agreement between the two groups. My own feelings about things, after being a pro-civil rights, liberal teenager in the sixties, is extremely pessimistic.

” “They should begin with a psychological chapter, one that shows how a harassed, terrified man breaks his terror and stops being afraid. This unusual process demands illuminating. Man gets rid of fear and feels free.”

The Jolly Teen Giant shed his fear of tiny store clerks and tossed one around during his robbery. That caused him to lose his fear of cops as he attacked Wilson and attempted to treat him like the clerk. That didn’t turn out so well.

Sometimes rational fear can be key to your survival.

It is interesting that blacks are demanding lynch mob “justice.”

If Wilson isn’t guilty, that’s exactly the justice they should be given.

From the article:

“Since Michael Brown, an 18-year-old black man, was shot six times while raising his hands in a surrender position . . .”

The author presents that crucial feature as if it was an established fact; either he doesn’t know or doesn’t care that it’s not - which tells me what the rest of his column is worth.

Trayvon Martin fell apart in a court of law because a court of law allows facts to be established, and allows bogus testimony to be challenged. Not until that happens with Brown should he (or much of anybody else) be telling us where Brown’s hands were.

“Yes I’m angry,” he shouted. “Four hundred years we been here. We built this place for free and y’all still hate us.”

A one way ticket back could be arranged! He’s been sitting on his ass for the last 50 years collecting welfare.

You never, ever hear Blacks like ˜Fat Albert" here opining they wish they were back in there ancestral Utopia of Africa.

Any place in Africa would be so much better for Blacks than the hell-hole that is America but I don't see any of them leaving and seeking asylum from American discrimination and persecution.

In 1992 Maxine Waters referred to the LA riots as a rebellion, a revolution, an uprising.

This black revolution was followed with the 1st WTC bombing.

Following the 2000 election where it was claimed Bush stole the election from blacks, Jackamo Jackson referred to it as a rebellion, a revolution, an uprising.

This black revolution was followed by a 2nd attack on the WTC on 9/11.

We now have a third “black” rebellion, revolution, uprising and once again terrorist, ISIS, have made a terrorist threat against NYC.

Find an incident, a spark to ignite the flame, ratchet it up to a raging inferno. “Prairie Fire”-Bill Ayers-Weather Underground

Since 1991, each and every time a Clinton has their sights set on the WH or staying in the WH, we get the Weather Underground playbook of “black revolution” followed with a terrorist attack.

At what point does it stop being “just a coincidence”?

Besides, you’ve done a DAMN good job of tearing it down. Even the stuff we’ve built.

What about the Irish, the Chinese, and others who were much more expendable, since no one had paid money for them, and therefore were treated far worse? Besides, if he'd rather his ancestors had been left in Africa, so he'd have been born there, well, go there. Nothing stopping him.

First, there is no evidence that the black guy was surrendering with his hands up. That statement first came for his partner in crime, one Darian Johnson, who has since been discredited and charged with theft and lying to police. The protestors whole case is base on that lie.

This Ferguson mess is no different from the Trayvon Martin/Zimmerman case here in Florida. Liberals always jump to conclusions before the facts are established. And more times than not, it is the wrong conclusion. The race baiters and race hustlers overshot their mark and pressured the “I-want-my-15-minutes-of-fame” district attorney in Florida to charge Zimmerman too early and with charges that couldn’t be proven with the evidence at the time, 2nd degree murder. Then when the actual trial came around and the jury found Zimmerman not guilty, liberal heads on TV exploded and the blacks made some noise for a while. but one hasn’t heard much of that case since.

The same will happen here, except I don’t think this experienced Ferguson DA will over charge if the cop is indicted and I think he will wait until the evidence is sufficient enough to charge him. Some of the anger and wind will be out of the protestors’ sails by October when the indictment is predicted to come, if at all. I personally think the jury pool has been poisoned by none other than the democRAT governor Nixon, stating that the cop needs to be “prosecuted vigorously”, before the investigation is even done, or he has been charged or arrested. I think it will be an uphill battle to prove this cop “murdered” this thug. Unless the prosecutor has evidence that the policeman intended to murder the black kid, a jury will exonerate him. Especially if evidence the kid beat on the cop and tried to take his gun from him turns out to be true. I also read the cop believes the kid was high on something (besides pot). That could explain his aggressive behavior towards the cop. This one will take some time to sort through but that won’t satisfy the “we want justice NOW” crowd. Just hang the policeman now, facts be damned!

He doesn’t appear to care about the facts, just the opportunity.
