After all that has transpired in Ferguson, will residents vote?

64. Protests work, there is new Civil Rights movement going on. Maybe you haven't paid much attention

to it.

To even attempt to deny the suppression of the African American vote in Ferguson until the people finally had enough, the murder of Michael Brown being the final straw, would be the same as denying the discrimination against African Americans BEFORE the last Civil Rights Movement finally forced some action to ensure their rights, to vote, to live where they chose to live, to go to the same schools as every other American etc.

So you are denying that it took a year of protests and organization, the involvement of the DOJ, the forcing of attention on the suppression of the vote in Ferguson, BEFORE it was possible for AAs to feel safe enough to go to the polls?

Same old 'look, they have rights' AFTER they and other finally took matters into their own hands.

And what will happen in Ferguson and all the other places across the country IF the current Civil Rights movement relaxes now that they've had at least one mall victory?
