I hate to play the media card, but you realize there are hundreds of thousands of black people in Missouri, right?

And with a few dozen (heck, maybe 100+ - let's go hog wild) - looters, and perhaps a couple hundred, to, ~1000 protestors?

So, you're suggesting a "majority" are doing this based on what the media chose to show you (for ratings, I might add)?

I guess what I'm saying - I understand black concern when the initial reports say, "Cop shoots unarmed black teen in the back." The rioting was all opportunism, and the protests were premature, IMHO, but the concern was understandable - heck, I'm lily white, politically conservative and live in Louisiana, and I was concerned.

However, once the blood is hot, it seems like those with a vested interest in continuing the protests (Sharpton, other race-baiters and, now, Brown's family) do not seem assuaged by the objective evidence that appears to clear the cop - based on what we know now.

But, that's not the same as lumping all black people, everywhere, with a few keystrokes into this madness. That's not good, fair, logical thinking. There are roughly 40 million black folks in 'Murica. Despite what you've been led to believe, they're not all the same.

There's about 400,000 black people in St. Louis city and county combined. Just for clarification.
