Jesus, get off your high horse. Enough with this "oh, you need to do carry your own weight" bs. White people brought blacks over and now want to complain about entitlement and welfare and crime and whatnot, when almost all Black Americans problems can be traced back to being a product of racism. The Ferguson incident is AGAIN NOT ABOUT RACE, it is about police being heavy handed. Stop bringing up Al Sharpton and the like, they do not represent black people, again they do NOT represent black people.
No, slavery was wrong. I was also 150 years ago. At what point do the black Americans who were never slaves, and whose families haven't been slaves for 3 or 4 generations start taking responsibility for their own situations and their own lives? I have several friends who happen to be black, but not a one of them is whining about slavery. They have done what they needed to do to create good lives for themselves and their families. Why is it that they succeed and others sit around doing drugs, popping out welfare babies and waiting for their government check to arrive in the mail? The answer is simple - they took responsibility for themselves, worked hard and accomplished something.
The Ferguson incident is every bit about race. The headlines from day one were "unarmed black youth killed by white cop". How is that NOT racist? The "eye witness" account of the poor kid "murdered" in essence for jaywalking while black has been almost totally debunked at this point. The fact of the matter is that we don?t yet know what happened. But the cop was beat up, a struggle occurred in the squad car - said to be a struggle over the cops service weapon.
From what I know about police work and police process, this appears to be a good shoot. And say what you want about Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson not representing black people, they are big-mouthed, attention seeking black agitators - not unlike the New Black Panthers who descended upon Ferguson like a plague of locusts. Their intentions were not to calm the tensions and try to work through the issue, but to stir the people and bring the media attention to this incident precisely as a race issue.
The fact that BHO came off the golf course long enough to comment against the cop BEFORE ANY FACTS WERE KNOWN. The fact that he ordered a full scale DOJ investigation in this matter is also telling. Has he done anything to date about the black on black murders in Chicago? Those are happening at an alarming rate every week, yet he hasn?t so much as commented. But let a white cop shoot a black youth, regardless of the circumstances - many of which are not yet known - and certainly have not been released to the public, and BHO wants to throw his weight being a top level government investigation.
Not about race, my @$$.
