180. I do

And first, foremost and most importantly, I am sorry I upset you. Never my intention.

I have a post going where I am answering what you are saying in a bunch of replies. I would like you to look at it so you can see better where I am coming from.

The leaders in Ferguson were from Ferguson. Strong willed, intelligent kids that preached nonviolence. They met with leaders, they attended the meetings every week. They registered people to vote and they voted.

And nothing changed.

When you have 30% unemployment, pretty much across the country, for black men, for decades. When peaceful protest changes nothing, when police kill young black men every 28 hours, with impunity, and instead of arrest an "investigation" with a paid vacation and no apology. No arrest. No indictment. What is left to do? .
