There’s a social-justice movement taking hold across the nation. Michael Brown’s death, which turned Ferguson, Mo., into a battleground this past summer, has helped catalyze a larger struggle for racial and economic justice in America.
And St. Louis, where 18-year-old Vonderrit Myers Jr. was shot and killed by an off-duty police officer, has witnessed roiling street demonstrations that recall the heyday of the civil rights and black power eras. Taking a page straight from the civil rights era, activists launched a “weekend of resistance” that featured civil disobedience, direct action protests, tense standoffs with police and arrests.
The issues raised—ending police brutality, raising the minimum wage, transforming race relations—attracted a cross-generational group of activists. Dozens of protesters stood outside Busch Stadium and reminded baseball fans of the political stakes that dwarfed the outcome of a Major League Baseball playoff game. “This is not a happy time,” one demonstrator told the New York Times. “They come here and watch a baseball game while we die; we go out and get pepper sprayed and hit with tear gas for peaceful protesting.”(continued)

Ferguson is about the racist community organizer in the White Hut driving his black slaves to the polls to vote for their Democrat plantation owners in November, just like the Saint Skittles scam in 2012.
The only purpose of affirmative action is to place people with IQs of 85 into positions for which they are completely unqualified.
Degrees in LGBT and African-Ameriacan studies qualify them for nothing.
If blacks want racial and economic justice, the first thing they need to do is lose the plantation mentality and stop voting Democrat.
Hey, Ferguson, you’re last month’s news. Get over yourselves. Go home and wait for your EBT cards.
I’ve got your ‘justice’ right here.
How far does Ebola spittle travel in a yelling mob?
The author’s parents were visionaries. They named their warped offspring Peniel.
Oh please!!!
Get off your cross.
We need firewood for cooking...
Social justice would require that criminals, drug addicts, parents of illegitimate kids, school drop-outs, thugs like Michael Brown, and others who refuse to better themselves compensate hard working middle class Americans for all that has been ripped-off from them.
There. Fixed it. I'm sure that leaving that bit out was just an oversight on the part of the author.
Bullsh*t. The Demogogues are facing annihilation at the polls, so the usual group of Neo-Commies and Fellow Travelers is trying to rile up the stupid ghetto rats in hopes they'll flock to the polls like they did in 2012.
Desperation on the part of the enemy is always sad and funny at the same time.
High English: “a larger struggle for racial and economic justice in America”.
Middle “: “a larger piece of your pie”.
Low “: “Gibsmedat”.
Economic Justice ?= Gimme what YT got
Penile Jackson thinks a new 60’s revolution is brewing.
We’ll find out on November 4th. IMO, the ground is beginning to shake & it’s coming from the majority, if you get my drift.
I repeat ‘Ferghanistan’
“Economic Justice” is the siren call of Communism.
No, it hasn’t. It has re-energized the same victim cabal that was hollering the same empty gibberish 50 years ago in Watts, Detroit, Harlem, and Oakland. More evidence that the Left is entirely out of fresh ideas.
> This ‘Ferguson’ chit has NOTHING to do with Civil Rights and EVERYTHING to do with the grifters and their never-ending quest for wealth distribution.
Luckily, I have nothing left for them to redistribute! Thanks, Socialists!
You and me both plus a lot of other formerly wealthy by current standards here on the forum I bet. You’re not alone. The only fun I get to have any more is explaining to young salespersons or charity workers why I don’t have any money to spend on their products or donate and cap it off by asking them who they voted for. If they hang up I know the answer...: )
