The match was lit on the plantation. The match was lit with Jim Crow. The match was lit with strange fruit. The match was lit with whites-only water fountains, glass ceilings, and police dogs on a bridge. The match was lit in Watts, in Selma, in Birmingham, in Mississippi, in Harlem.

You don't even realize: he's not pouring gasoline, he's calling the fire department. He's reaching you, at the switchboard, and you're saying, "oh, don't worry, there's no problem."

What sort of black person dismisses their own history? Two words, eight letters, and I'll let you figure it out.

Negative Parker.

I am not saying there is no problem. I am saying people like DP take advantage of the existence of the problem to further their political agenda....and in doing so....they fester the wound. When gangrene sets in they act like the cowards they are and pretend they didn't contribute to it.

Then you'll need to support your allegations about his motivations. What gives you insight into the reasons he argues the way he does? Are you a mind-reader?

Or are you simply trying to discredit a set of facts that you find uncomfortable by attacking a messenger?

Tell us, how do you know the internal motivations of someone who is bringing up points that you disagree with?

Be specific, and don't shilly-shally. Support your point with facts.

I'm surprised, Heywood, that you didn't take a clear opportunity to heckle the left for something that might stick? How race issues have been handled (or, more accurately, not) is widely regarded as a failure very close to home to the left...that pays alot of lip service - but does what?

Sometimes I wonder if you're really committed to this left-bashing business at all.....
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I don't think the left wants to solve race issues. If race was not an issue in this country the left would have to find something else as the basis of their hate peddling.

The real purpose of course is to deflect attention away from the fact that we're all being screwed backwards. Hate would be good. We're managed slaves.

I read you the first time. I disagree with the premise that mentioning it is using it to political advantage.

When you dismiss it as such, you become part of the problem ... if you weren't already.

If you think that aeration doesn't do the wound good, why don't you tell us your own prescription?

Me, I think airing out racist thinking, exposing it to sunlight, is a good thing. Two critters don't like sunlight: cockroaches, and rats.

Make of this what you want, but if true, I find it pretty convincing. I know too little about the finer details of the American justice system to agree or disagree with certain points. But Kyle makes the point, that the case was rigged from the start with improper procedure and a biased prosecutor.

Statements from Witnesses full of discrepencies.

It seems a lot of the "witnesses" out right lied.

Even if the prosecutor got an indictment, there is no way he gets a conviction. There are just too much evidence that the cop acted in self defense. I don't doubt that the prosecutor presented all the evidence he had....evidence which exonerated the cop and painted the cop as a cold blooded killer. I think the prosecutor did this because he doesn't want to take the case to trial.....not because he is biased toward the cop but rather he simply doesn't want to prosecute a case he knows he is going to lose.

I met with a prosecutor yesterday(for a traffic infraction) and basically told her..."hey...if we go to trial you're going to lose this case....and here is why". Next thing you know she hands me a motion to dismiss. I get it signed by a judge....file it with the clerk and the ticket is gone. Why was it so easy? Because the prosecutor doesn't want to waste her time on a case she knows she is likely to lose.

You pick your battles and this was an unwinnable one for the prosecution. He wouldn't have even brought it before the grand jury except that this was a racially charged situation and the mob had already convicted the cop. He was forced to bring this to the grand jury. He certainly didn't do it because he thought if he gets an indictment he gets a conviction.

And it is good that he did this because now we get to see all the evidence. You should be glad this particular prosecutor was transparent.

Then why haven't they been charged with perjury?

It seems the prosecutor is outright lying and should be arrested for obstruction of justice.

If Ferguson is the best Race Baiting, Incorporated has to offer, the country truly is post racial, whether they want to admit it or not.

[sarcasm off]

No doubt, there truly are racist cops and racist outrages out there, but focusing on an instance that is proven not to be helps the cause how exactly ??

[sarcasm on]

I can see the KKK making Rev. Al an honorary member for his perfidy and connivance.

[sarcasm off]

Encouraging to see the 'Go Fund Me' cake shop lady get compensated for her lost business/

[sarcasm on]

she should be admonished and castigated to give all that money to Rev. Al for all he did for her
