Progress?! A mostly black town with a mostly white police force and governing body? No, black progress would be for the black community there to step up and get involved, hold public office, attend the police academy, etc.

WTF?
No. Seriously...
WTF????
The Marxist “feely” women are on a roll tonight about Ferguson. They know the truth of the matter, and they are trying head it off at the pass.
That’s the ultimate ambition of the hard core left. To refight the Bolshevik revolution in the name of class and race on American soil.
She's Head-Mo-Loddy. She has more head than body!
Jesus Christ: You can’t impeach Him and He ain’t going to resign.
Never has so much been given to so few and they have done so little.
I ‘struggled’ to get through the whole diatribe.
Near the end she is blaming the Voter ID for suppressing Blacks.
She gives some figures as to the # of Blacks that don’t have a Govt issued ID card (she mentions a % of Whites also).
Well, if that many people don’t have ID’s, it makes the other #’s for welfare, assistance, food stamps, going to a moochelle book signing etc really bad.
I am 75 and when I buy my O’Douls NA I get my ID checked at Walmart.
I hereby revoke this woman’s academic degrees, she is a professor of bull**it and nothing more.
So the police department is racist because it is staffed mostly by white people but a majority black run post office is an "entitlement".
"...Sen. Charles Sumner (R-Mass.) tried to make this nation live its creed, but they were no match for the swelling resentment that neutralized the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments, and welcomed the Supreme Court’s 1876 United States vs. Cruikshank decision, which undercut a law aimed at stopping the terror of the Ku Klux Klan..."She neglects to mention the fact that the Ku Klux Klan were terrorist DEMOCRATS.
"...In March 1956, 101 members of Congress issued the Southern Manifesto, declaring war on the Brown decision..."She doesn't mention the fact that 99 out of the 101 were DEMOCRATS.
"...Governors in Virginia, Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia and elsewhere then launched “massive resistance.” They created a legal doctrine, interposition, that supposedly nullified any federal law or court decision with which a state disagreed..."She doesn't mention the fact that all of them were DEMOCRATS, too, and she omits the fact that all these interposition laws were struck down by the courts as unconstitutional.
"...It’s more subtle — less overtly racist — than in 1865 or even 1954. It’s a remake of the Southern Strategy, crafted in the wake of the civil rights movement to exploit white resentment against African Americans, and deployed with precision by Presidents Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan. As Reagan’s key political strategist, Lee Atwater, explained in a 1981 interview: “You start out in 1954 by saying, ‘N-----, n-----, n-----.’ By 1968 you can’t say ‘n-----’ — that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like ‘forced busing,’ ‘states’ rights’ and all that stuff. You’re getting so abstract now you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things, and a byproduct of them is blacks get hurt worse than whites. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I’m not saying that.” (The interview was originally published anonymously, and only years later did it emerge that Atwater was the subject.)...Aside from her bold-faced lie that Reagan just employed a more subtle, racist way of exploiting white resentment against African Americans with his policies of less taxes and smaller government, Lee Atwater's claim that blacks get hurt worse than whites economically by such policies is factually wrong:
Under Reagan, adult black unemployment fell by 20 percent, but under Mr. Obama, it has increased by 42 percent.
Black teenage unemployment fell by 16 percent under Reagan, but has risen by 56 percent under Mr. Obama.
