"Ferguson, Missouri, is a majority-black city governed mostly by whites. The mayor is white. The police chief is white. The police force is 94 percent white. Only one of its six city council members is black. These facts, as much as anything, have shaped the protests over the police shooting of Michael Brown. Ferguson, with a 67 percent black population, is a place where the largest community has little political voice."
You have to wonder what the white leaders in this community have been thinking all these years. You'd expect this ... in 1965. But in 2014, you'd have to have rocks for brains to think this would pass without some tragedy happening as we have seen.
