Why would I leave the forum? I'm agreeing with the title of this op. The Black citizens of Ferguson have to come to grips with this on their own. I am just a casual observer like you waiting for the drama to begin!Then this is the perfect opportunity for the negroes in Ferguson to stand up and take control of their local government right? They have a golden opportunity now right?Isn't that what the Black residents of Ferguson are trying to do? To take advantage of opportunity you must first remove the obstacles preventing access to that opportunity. But opportunity is not the issue, per se. The issue is that the city has used it's police force to harass and literally rob the Black citizenry. That is the prevalent theme underlined in the DOJ report. The injustices outlined and cited therein are current injustices... not past ones.I'd also suggest availing oneself of the opportunities offered to all in this great country, instead of bitching about injustices of the past.Ferguson will hold municipal elections April 7. The mayor and five of the six city councilpersons are white. Three are up for reelection. Since Michael Brown was gunned down by former Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson on August 9, the one loud refrain has repeatedly been how could a city where African-Americans make up the overwhelming majority of the population be policed by a nearly all-white police force, and governed by a nearly all-white city administration? The thought was that the Brown slaying angered and engaged so many thousands that it was almost a done deal that the first chance black residents got they'd jam the polls and totally revamp city government in Ferguson.

I agree, 1000%. I am sick and tired of my people whining and waiting on "others" to come to the rescue when city officials fkkk them over. They act as though these leaders just walks into a community and began governing....their voted in by a hand full of concerned citizens and that's it....meanwhile, sha na na and Jaquan are at home fighting over his hangin with the hommies. You want change, you want people that represent you, you want better communities, THAN DAMIT GET INVOLVED, STAY INVOLVED AND THEN VOTE OR RUN YOURSELF....BUT DAMIT STOP WAITING ON TRAGEDY AND MAYHAM TO MOTIVATE!!
If they sit in the fucking shade instead please post back and explain why.
Not going to happen though.
JQ will suddenly leave the forum. 100% fucking predictable.
