    Not only that but the 1st anniversary remembrance held in Ferguson included a pig roast. Not exactly subtle or healing.

    1st anniversary March to protest and armed robber who attacked a police officer when caught getting shot. They don't even care that he robbed a store in their neighborhood. The only thing that matters is the criminal was black and the cop white. There have been recent incidents where people were shot without justification, but these idiots can't tell the difference between the two or just plain don't care. They should be celebrating the fact that Michael Brown, a violent criminal, no longer walks the streets of their neighborhood.

    Yep. Speaks to the mentality of a culture that's lacking yet demands equality. I can understand frustration and being pissed but there is a line you don't cross. When they do this with armed officers they go too far and part of the problem there's so many getting plugged.

    I got in an argument today with a friend of mine regarding the BLM movement. He got kind of pissed when I said this hurt their cause, and he said this should be our cause. i basically got called a racist because this isn't an issue that I would drop everything and protest over and it kind of pissed me off, I don't think people realize that their actions are turning people who would normally support them off when they do shit like this. Does racism exist, yes, is civil disobedience called for sometimes, sure, but not when it makes your entire cause look foolish, and I also agree the gang violence and black people killing each other in the streets should be addressed as well.

    More of a caramel color actually. I never understood that term because I've never seen a black person. Manute Bol came pretty close, just like white... I'm not white, I'm reddish peach, maybe some blondeish.

    Doesn't matter if their cause is misguided or just plain wrong, if you disagree you're a racist.

    You saying you a cracka? I've seen a very few people who were really as black as my cell phone. By saying your friend is caramel colored that leaves open the possibilty that he is Hispanic but I doubt that a latino would care about black lives matter bullshit. Would it be racist to wear a T shirt that said White Lives Matter?
