The entire problem with Ferguson is a fricking criminal nose tackle-sized thug charged a cop with a gun and did not stop his charge to crush the cop until shot to death. And then the black victimization card was played for maximum effect to gain attention.
FIFY

Animals is a racist code word for blacks. Its a way to dehumanize them, and make them appear inferiror. Your deflection on "all protesters" is weak, its a protest about white cop on black citizen. You may have not intended it in a racist way, but its still racist.

That type of behavior is unacceptable and leads to nothing positive.
I tend to agree here. Burning shite doesn't really do anything but burn.

Looting and burning buildings is going to make the system better?
they feel as though the system is broken for them already, and this is an expression of anger.
I do not condone burning / looting, but its more complex than calling someone animals.

I can understand the protesting, though I think in this case it's misguided and probably being pushed by white folks behind the scenes. The looting is just opportunity for criminals to be criminals.

yes, go for it.

if it is, i'd be curious how long the black community will last. I would imagine the average black person out guns the average white person. The problem is, white people can afford to buy ammo.

Not condoning rioting at all.
But after decades of peaceful complaints , protests & litigation about abuses by the LAPD upon residents of South Central LA it took the L.A. Riots to help transform the LAPD.(This Ferguson mess is nothing).
Not perfect ,but a significant transformation that decades of other just/legal means failed.

Why do you think Obama was having government agencies buy up all the available ammo.

Unreal what these people are saying. You see the " reverand" Al"Obamas pal"!Sharpton in the background with that hated look listening to the tale that the evidence to indict was not given in order to get an indictment. Other words "lie" I guess. Their opinion falls right in line with their leader , when you don't get your way ignore the law. Maybe they can dig up Johnny Cockran and let him show us how this all doesn't fit.

Maybe we'll have ammo subsides available shortly.

News to me and I've been around a while. When did this code word become established as such in the English language? Not trying to be argumentative, just trying to broaden my horizons.

No, they are not. They are taking advantage of mayhem and contributing to the problem. They are not sitting on their front porch discussing how to resolve the issue. They are thugs taking advantage of the lawlessness.

I think it's origins go back to comparisons with monkeys. Howard Cossel got in big trouble by describing a play by a black WR for the Redskins.
"Look at that little monkey run!"
Ironically, Howard was a big contributor to Grambling State.
Oddly, between marriages Zach dated a Malaysian Chinese doctor. I asked her if they had any racially derogatory terms for white people. She said "Ha Macaow"..it translates "Red Haired Monkey." It makes sense. Whites are the only humans with red hair and there are some monkeys with red hair.

See back to the racist angle. If you are angry enough to destroy something, you aren't human instead a Thug.
I will agree there are a multitude of people taking advantage of the chaos to accomplish ulterior motives. But not all of those protesting are thugs.

Alvin Garrett. I remember it well. I was watching MNF when he said it.

Are you completely dense? I never mentioned the protesters. I am speaking about the looters. Are you saying they are one and the same?
