There are so many sad aspects to Ferguson. Saddest of all
is that it's unlikely anything will change for the better.
There is the personal tragedy for Michael's parents, family and friends
Precious few of which did the first damn thing to teach/show him how not to be a violent, anti social, piece of human garbage.
There are the psychological wounds inflicted by being devalued by a society.
If there is any stigma attached to "black" behavior, it is one that has been earned through the outward reflection of that individual's "values". If there is any "devaluation", it was achieved through self immolation of character and honor.
There is the militarization of police forces
Which your democrats, specifically those congressrats representing Fergadishu, voted for gleefully and without thought.
There is the evidence that outright racism is prevalent and has increased because we have a black President
Only in your earwig addled brain, Eva. Unless you meant the increase in black racsim, encouraged by your president.
There is the corruption of the legal process as exemplified by the GJ process and the prosecutor
I sincerely hope that you're someday on the wrong side of a legal action that discards evidence in favor of a purely emotional, irrational, preconceived outcome. I really do...
There is the further alienation of black people in this country
Mostly at their own behest.
And with a deeply racist republican congress and so many republican state legislatures, it's difficult to see any hope on the horizon.
Yeah, because destroying the family structure, herding them into tight pockets, destroying their education, and feeding their psychosis is
such a better choice and not racist at all.
****in' idiot...

Fighting racism is so difficult, in party, because of how racism has become more sophisticated and accepted in that form.
Actually, DUmmie, it's not. But, when you prolong the problem to benefit yourself, it becomes a very large problem for everyone else. Not that you actually have to deal with it in your lily white state.
