:: The rule of law wants to beat into us, through “discipline,” the belief that we –black people — would be animals but for its chastening rod of correction. ::
And so we have the abject PROOF of the author’s bigotry, bias and ignorance; the same maladies that infected the JimCrow-white’s in the early 20th century. Does not this single observation fully describe the Ferguson melee?
When I was in college some black students decided that they weren’t getting enough attention paid to their concerns (IE, nobody was pandering to their racial syllabus) and so they demanded and forced a meeting of all the occupants of their dorm to hear their complaints.
When that didn’t result in an outpouring of white guilt, a portion of the upper floor of another dorm which was occupied by black students was spray painted with racist remarks—which, it later turned out, were painted by the black students themselves.
IOW, the only way these students knew to react with whites, was that whites were the oppressors and they were the oppressed. And if they didn’t find that in operation,
they had no other way to interact. They were lost.
