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

[HairOfTheDog]

Your co-workers don't have to be constantly profiled, MS. Profiling people based on the color of their skin alone is not mandatory -- I'm serious.

Anyway, in terms of high-profile black men who support the Grand Jury's decision, I've heard Charles Barkley speak in favor of Darren Wilson and slam the protestors. He speaks and writes about "unintelligent blacks" and his opinion that it's blacks holding back other blacks frequently.

Love him or hate him, Charles doesn't do race PC. He supported the Zimmerman verdict and the Ferguson grand jury decision. He also disagreed with the NFL coming down on Adrian Peterson and the NBA coming down on Donald Sterling.

Also, civil rights activist (and radio show host) Reverend Jesse Lee Peterson publicly broadcasted his agreement with the Ferguson Grand Jury.

And, singer Pharrell Williams is quite vocal about his support of Bill Cosby's message and spreading his updated version of it to black youth (he didn't support the Grand Jury decision, but he did tell blacks to be honest about Michael Brown being bullyish).

I don't know if there are more or not -- haven't specifically searched -- those are just the few that I've seen.
