Pretty soon, the jokes are going to start popping up about Ferguson. Maybe even a board game.....it's going down the tubes entirely.
The jokes are already happening. Ferguson is going to be known worldwide for being a pawn for someone else's political cause. They desperately want this kid's death to remain in the spotlight until the mid terms.
This is the Trayvon Martin/Duke Lacrosse/Tawana Brawley/Jena 6 frenzy of this election cycle. There is no room for logic when there is racial divide to exploit ahead of an election.
How does it reflect on anyone else-hard working black or not? And why should we listen to or respect the opinions of anyone that thinks this should reflect on the black community at large?
Talk about primitive mentality...
It DOES reflect on the black community because it just once again reaffirms that the stereotypes about them are true. You can't claim blacks are peaceful and then turn around and see so many blacks committing so many crimes every single day.
Its like GM with the recalling of millions of cars for various issues the past few years. Does this mean that all GM cars are dangerous? No probably not. The majority of GM cars on the road today are likely fine, but that doesn't change the fact that GM cars have been recalled at a higher rate than most other manufacturers recently.
Its the same with blacks and crime. Not all blacks are violent and criminal, but that doesn't change the fact that they do commit crime at higher rates than anyone else. Just the past few days in Toronto where I am, we've had several shootings and a school stabbing death. I'm willing to bet that half or more of these incidents involved blacks like they usually do. If this happens constantly, how can you NOT make a generalization that blacks aren't exactly the safest people to be around? You'd have to be stupid to see so much crime coming from only 7% of Toronto's population and still think blacks are no different from anyone else.

Well Obama spoke of the US having it's own racial problems and made sure to mention Ferguson. I think he should have left it at we have our own racial problems. What was the point of bringing Ferguson up? Oh, wait, I know why!!!! I don't know why he didn't mention how Mexicans and those from Central America who are in the US illegally also suffer from racism.

This boy was a law-abiding college student trying to improve his life, (according to his mum). He wouldn't do this. He shouldn't have died.
according to his mom, not mum, btw. So you are saying someone robbing a store is a law abiding citizen? Gee, that is so nice to know.
Until the investigation is over, we will not know who was right; even then there will always be doubts for many. Did he deserve to die? Probably no, unless he truly was going after the officers gun,but he was breaking the law. How about the guy who shot the cop in PA a couple weeks ago, did the cop deserve to die?
tell you what, if I were black, I'd be all over these animals...they make good hard working blacks look bad...and there are a heck of a lot of great black people who would never even "think" to resort to something like this....talk about primitive mentality....
you have that so right. It is time the hard workers stand up to these good for nothings!!!!
