Greetings, apdst. :2wave:

WTH do those companies have to do with Michael Brown case? As usual, they will cut off their nose to spite their face, then whine about how unfairly they are treated! Unbelievable!

Free Mumia! :lamo
 
Is MO Gov Jay Nixon helping or hurting the situation by declaring a state of emergency and deploying the National Guard in anticipation of the grand jury decision?

I don't know but I'd love to see Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and other go to Ferguson and call for calm and civility regardless of the grand jury decision, emphasizing what made MLK and the Civil Rights movement great and effective was its non-violent and peaceful character. People need to be reminded, by their behavior the civil rights protesters were portrayed as the civilized human beings while by their behavior the racist segregationists looked like savages. Burning down businesses, throwing rocks at the police and rioting benefits no one.

The protest has been taken over by communists and black nationalists. Michael Brown doesn't have anything to with Michael Brown, anymore. :)

Actually, It never did.
 
He is in a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. If he doesn't have them prepared then he is not doing his job. If he does have them prepared, it looks like he is spilling the beans early and provoking violence.

I live about an hour from there and we are watching closely. I fly in and out of Lambert about 4 times a month so this affects me for work.

No one is going to win in this. I predict more bloodshed before it's over and in the end who is that really helping?

I don't believe that we can know the answer until this situation is over with.

The man was in a damned if you do/damned if you don't situation as others have said.

I'm going to keep my fingers crossed.

Isn't that what a trial is about. getting to the facts? If Wilson does not want to defend his actions in a court of law... He can plead the 5th. That is his right.



I don't believe that the grand jury has decided that a trial is necessary yet.

I predict that he situation in Ferguson will be handled in a civilized manner by everyone involved.

By guess is as good as anyone else's guess.

Why can't all Americans act civilized one time?

Oh you guys crack me up! All I have to do is mention race, or ethnicity, or oppression, or systems of power, and so many of you immediately get emotional. And heaven be with anyone who dares to use the words "privilege" and "white" in the reverse order...

I haven't seen any oppression of people of color, unless all the private property that was looted and burned was owned by black folks and the damage was done by white folks. Was it?

Of course you haven't seen it. You have the privilege not to.

I want idividuals held accountable for actual acts, not your group think BS about potential acts..

Exactly. Focus on situations on a case-by-case basis. Because otherwise, the clear pattern of subjugation of people of color would emerge.

Yeah, Caucasians really control the market on the subjugation of Negroes.<<<<[note...NOT an epithet as claimed]

Black privilege - Metapedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metapedia

"Metapedia is a multilingual "pro-European" electronic encyclopedia which states that it focuses on culture, art, science, philosophy and politics. It contains white nationalist, white supremacist, Neo-Nazi,[2] and far-right points of view.[3][4][5]"

Yep, that's all I need to know.

I haven't seen it, because it doesn't exist.

Yet again, those words are a product of your privilege, which is currently invisible to you.

I'm a truck driver and I live in rural Louisiana. What privilege do you speak of?

You cannot find the answer to this question for the same reason that a fugitive cannot find the police.

Yeah, that makes sense. :roll:

I guess that means that an apple is an orange, becaise a vest has no sleeves.

Uhh....

That makes no sense.

The only reason a fugitive would not be able to locate the police would be if he/she did not want to.


You're saying that apdst doesn't want to see how privileged he is?

I hope your right but have serious doubt you are. Past situations have shown this will likely go bad.

I don't know of any group of people that are civilized all the time. This is not a widespread deal. So far it is concentrated in a small area. It very well could expand if the agitators push it to that.

I just googled Black Privilege in America and it shot that site right out, as a response to the poll..."Is There WHITE PRIVILEGE IN AMERICA". And I really don't give a flying leap what kind of site Metapedia is or who authored it...Uncle Tom himself couldn't have come up with a better list. Every bullet point on there was a bulls eye.
 
Mr. Nixon should seriously consider resigning. He could have hardly handled the entire Ferguson situation any worse than he did.

If he were so concerned about the one-time possibility of rioting and looting, then maybe he should look at the much larger problem of the systematic oppression of people of color. Maybe, just maybe, that is what they have been desperately trying to say. But I don't expect for him--or the naysayers on this forum, for that matter--to ever get that.


Lol !!!

Exactly!! He's afraid of the implications of what it means for white privilege to be a real thing. Now the question is, will he face those fears with courage? Or with defensiveness?

Perhaps white nationalism appeals to you, Hogwash.

Would you mind sharing a link to that? I'm interested in what the bullet points you mention are.

Perhaps...I just call a spade a spade. When somebody gets it right, I acknowledge it.

Addendum to this post...I literally had to look up white nationalism to see what perhaps appeals to me. And I found that white nationalism seems to do so.
