Now, that you've gotten the looters out of your system, what say you about the peaceful protesters who want change? Hmm....nothing? Thought so.

They are not really hurting the shopkeepers if they are propery insured. Clearly, you guys do not remember that in the Rodney King riots, a few shop owners were prosecuted for burning down their own stores for the insurance.

No offense, but if you do that it is because you wanted to dimiss it all along.

Becuase your view fails to acknowledge the 100 days of peaceful protest that took place there - by many Black and Whites.

I don't believe for one minute that you are black.

NP here. I'm not black but I'm embarrassed for the black community. None of the black people I know would participate in the looting. What parents would even let their children go out last night? It's disgraceful.

If you're not black, and none of the black people you know would participate in the looting, then why, exactly, are you embarrassed for "the black community"?

Exactly. What a ridiculous contradiction. I am Black. I am an individual. No one person or group speaks for me.

All those crazy ass people stealing TVs and cigarettes are claiming to speak for you.

STFU
No they are not
Did you see someone grabbing a TV and stopping and telling people: "This is for all the millions of other black people I don't know!!
STFU AGAIN

Tell me again, why were they rioting? Oh yeah that's right. I must have completely misunderstood everything I've read and heard on the news? I thought the black community was angry how they're being treated by the police. That's what I heard Jesse Jackson, official voice of the black community, just say on the TV. I guess he's wrong too. Please tell me was this is about again?

1) Jesse Jackson speaks for Jesse Jackson -- no one appointed him King of black people

2) how is being frustrated with their treatment in their community somehow speaking for millions of OTHER black people that live elsewhere

3) *sigh*

Which makes me think that black people rally around Jesse Jackson and their own community when it serves their purpose. Otherwise they're just individuals.

So in the end what you're saying is these people are just looting for the sake of it.

That's funny! Were you aware that Jesse Jackson was heckled out of Ferguson? Or that they asked Sharpton not to come back after the funeral?

The folks you see on TV do NOT speak for the people on the ground. Perhaps, you should learn who the protestors are who have been peaccefully protesting for over 100 days. They are Black and Whites - many with college degrees.

Copied from another thread:

"Finally and do not mean to stoke any fires here (no pun intended). But people need to realize that the MLK/Gandhi “turn the other cheek” generation is dying off and no longer in control of the grassroots movements in this country (they ran Jesse Jackson out of Ferguson). People focus on the looters, but the peaceful protests in Ferguson that have been going on for over 100 days have been led by young, educated AA’s and Whites who are savvy in social media, tenacious, and are willing to be peacefully confrontational and ask tough questions. The so called AA “leaders” are not in charge anymore."

"A riot is the language of the unheard."
- Martin Luther King, Jr.

Many of the protestors stood in front of buildings to try to keep looters out of the buildings. There were thugs who were there to take advantage of the situation, but they weren't part of the protest movement.

Maybe because every one of them turned into looters at the first chance to do so? There is no legitimate movement here. It's just a mob of violent thugs.

Have a look at the picture in 12:37. Really look at it. Peaceful protestors. Men, a woman, black, white, and possibly Asian? Point being that it is a mixed group, trying to do something positive.

Let's see some focus on that.

The sign maker is smarter than you. African slave trade began, sometime in the 1500's. African's were being enslaved long before there was an America.

PP here - I wasn't talking about when the slavery started. I was just surprised AAs still talk about slavery like that happened yesterday. Looking back and constantly crying "we are the victims" won't help anyone. You CAN'T stay stuck in history! You need to move on.

+1. It's their own neighbors in the grand jury that chose not to indict. Not the gvernment's fault.

First: Please have a look at the process. Wilson was never cross-examined by the prosecutor. His grand jury testimony differed sharply from his police interview questions on several key issues.

Second: Why does one half of the country need to "get over it" and accept this flawed non-indictment as gospel when the other half of the country thinks that the NINTH investigation into Benghazi is the one that will finally reveal the "truth"?
