The Ferguson Tragedy

It is really sad when some within our society seek to foster discord/chaos for whatever their reasons.  The Ferguson, Missouri tragedy is a case in point.  Read this item to gain a bit of perspective.  And, note especially the final paragraph.   http://www.wnd.com/2014/08/ferguson-cops-heres-how-it-went-down/  

Now, ask yourself why is the media not all over this incident. There are at least two reasons:  It in not a part of their narrative and consequently they are a part of the problem.   http://www.wnd.com/2014/08/ferguson-cops-heres-how-it-went-down/     

Then read this which clearly establishes that the DOJ is out of line in imposing itself in this whole mess.  The DOJ and its current leadership, too, is part of the problem.   http://www.nationalreview.com/article/386113/eric-holder-racial-profiler-andrew-c-mccarthy

Please consider the wisdom contained in this article.  In one section the author notes that "Basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar wrote a piece for Time Magazine suggesting that any sort of major racial conflict in America would have less to do with race and more about economic disparity and class resentment."  And he offers a number of cogent thoughts rendered by "Horace Cooper, co-chairman of the Project 21 National Advisory Board. Project 21 ]which] describes itself as the “National Leadership Network of Black Conservatives.”  Consider this question asked Cooper during a radio interview: Is there concrete data showing black Americans are being dealt a worse economic hand during the Obama years? Cooper said "...it’s really not even debatable.

'Black home ownership is sharply down. Black unemployment is sharply elevated. Black Americans’ savings accounts are dramatically lower. There’s almost been a 40 percent loss in total equity value among the typical black family compared to what they had during the eight years of the Bush administration.”  Cooper argued that "Obama has been promoting the wrong solutions to the economic challenges of black Americans and everyone else."   http://www.wnd.com/2014/08/black-leader-obamas-policies-stoking-ferguson-anger/
