The way the situation has turned now is pretty much supporting this.

In just a few hours it went from the death of a young man to an all out force taking over Ferguson. Not sure what I'm expecting from all of this or how it will end. It won't be pretty, that's for sure.

Scared people try to rationalize a threatening situation they feel they can't control (I.e. dangerous police). They tell themselves "it can't happen to me" because; I know the correct way to act, the "right" clothes to wear, the best language to use, I'm not poor and black, ect. Blaming the victim is a way to separate…

Huh? More ignorance, if you can't keep up with the argument, then just completely change the subject, right? I have no idea what you are talking about with hashtags and gentrification, but you are still coming across as a complete idiot in the American social environment.

Bless your heart, you honestly don't get it do you? This isn't a white trash, middle eastern, Indian and whomever else you mentioned issue! Are any of those other ethnic groups being killed like dogs in the street?

You mean to tell me out of that entire powerful post, THAT'S what you came up with? You realize that you are proving Kara's point, right?

Yeah, maybe you're right. I don't post very often and I hope that this makes even a little bit of sense. I'm a black man in his early 20s who has lived in the center of St. Louis my entire life. This is a strange city in that for being as big as it is, the mentality often times seems like that of small stereotypically…

You didn't say that at all. If that's what you meant then you're very bad at articulating.

FINALLY!! THIS IS WHAT AN ALLY LOOKS LIKE! White America: THIS IS NOT ABOUT YOU. WE DONT NEED ANOTHER VIEW POINT WE NEED THE MASS MURDERING TO END.

*moves mirror from in front of NHL's face* Now you should be able to see your monitor.

I would say in this particular instance, yes, fuck you and your opinion. The article is about the AA community and the way they're treated by the police and their fellow citizens. You came in and said, "but what about white people?" You're an asshole.

You're forgetting the difference between how our people arrived here. We came here because of opportunities that were offered to us. The entire system is already against them when they were brought here against their will. And still the system continues to be against black people, regardless of their successes and…

"There might as well be at this point."

This is primarily a police/citizen issue, - they shoot anyone who is not part of their gang, and then lie about it afterwards.

Wrong. This is a black issue that affects black individuals that others can be enraged by. But it is a black issue. If you are white, as I suspect (and as I am) you do not live in fear of the police. This is a good time to close your mouth, back up slowly, and listen. Take it all in. Recognize that where you live,…

As an Asian, I must say I don't think the police don't really harass Asians in the first place because of racial profiling. These boys are stopping AND complying, and forget harassment, they're straight up getting shot and murdered. Saying it's so simple, just sue, is in complete ignorance to the issue at hand. Asians…

I teach about the complex problem of differentiating between institutional racism and individual bigotry, so I understand what you're trying to get at.

If this isnt a black issue... where are the other nations outrage of this continuously happening? Why arent you out there speaking out against this kind of treatment? And why is this not happening to so called whites, asians, arabs etc. Its crazy how whites always say "Oh this isnt about race, its a people issue."…

How much interaction have you had with the police, or the policy makers/ politicians on a city , state, or national level? How many officers and administrators of the court have you interacted with? I'm curious. This shit is systemic and the winds that fill its sails absolutely have their origin in hatred as well as…

Yeah, i'll take that response as confirmation you're a fucking moron.

Police can harass blacks in America because they make up a large portion of the impoverished, they can't afford to sue anyone, idiot.
