I think the author has this wrong. Corruption of local officials has nothing at all to do with this crap in Ferguson.

It has everything to do with some people blaming every ill they encounter on racism, and being encouraged to do so by racists at all levels of society.

That’s it.

Every government, black, white, pink or green, has corruption, stupidity, wrong-headedness, bureaucratic stubbornness, and injustice. There are a lot of places where people of all colors are just as ill-used as citizens of Ferguson, but they aren’t burning down the town.

You have ably refuted an argument neither Mr. French not I have made.

The article has very little to do with racism at all. It addresses problems that have little or nothing to do with race and everything to do with corruption of government at the local level.

The Justice Department and you both want to make it about racism, in opposite ways, but that’s not the real issue.
