Ferguson & St. Louis, MO -- Deaths and Protests

[Blindgreed1]

My son told me that yesterday. I thought he was being wity. Now I look like an ass. THANKS CASEY!

Damn kids!!

I don't really understand the rationale for comparing the OJ verdict reaction to the reactions in the Zimmerman and Ferguson cases.

OJ's case wasn't one where a majority of white people were united in the belief that the two white victims were murdered by a black man who racially profiled and killed them and then got away with it due to discrimination against Caucasians. But, I'm open if anyone wants to explain how they're comparable situations.

If the point in comparing the OJ verdict reaction to the Zimmerman/Ferguson reactions is to point out that black people feel more discriminated against than white people and therefore they're more frequently involved in civil unrest and protests which open the door to looting and rioting, no argument from me there. I think that's simply a fact.

I guess the point is that protesting is fine (my personal opinion), but looting and destroying someone elses property over a court ruling does more to sterotype the black race than it does to create change. If the cop that shot this kid was black, would we be having this conversation at all? People are killed by cops every day. Why aren't people all over the country protesting, rioting, looting and burning for those people? I blame the media.
