[QUOTE="Maui, post: 2640190, member: 45037"] I'm not sure if you are a simpleton or just a good old fashioned racist. The privilege is in thinking others have it as easy as a white conservative in red state KS. Your bias blinded you to the point on Ferguson. There was civil unrest and significant problems laid bare by the Michael Brown incident. The point is that there were underlying causes. The police force was 90% white in a 66% black community. Here is a sample list of findings from the DOJ: Examples Cited by the Report [LIST] [*]Several police and court employees expressed racist views in emails and interviews. Messages between Ferguson officials compared African-Americans to chimpanzees and characterized a black woman’s abortion as an effective crime-stopping tool.
