You asked "How does rioting rebuild the black base?" I'm surprised a FReeper would ask this question. Putting Al Sharpton and his race-baiters back into the limelight, after having been marginalized after the November midterms was job one for the Democrats. You can't keep blacks on the plantation unless they have a common cause to rally around with the perception being their black activist gubmint King Barry, Jeh Johnson and Holder will make things right again. Barry has alienated blacks and needed something to get them back on board. Chaos in Ferguson is the vehicle they're using to do just that, however ludicrous that may be.
It seems ridiculous to YOU, but not to them. They are totally unaware they're being USED.
Sorry, good buddy. I’m still not getting the President Buckwheat gestalt. I get the plantation hubris and agree with you.
I also agree with your statement: “however ludicrous that may be.”
However, these savages are still just that - savages. That means no civil value.
