People in Palestine, Tibet, Brazil, and European countries but why not African nations? African-Americans support African causes why don't we support them too?

Whether the incident that led to his death is avoidable or not is not certain but one thing is certain -

Michael Brown is a bad boy and a bloody thief and his innocence is highly questionable from objective perspective.

It baffles me a lot not even a single state in Africa is concerned or showed displeasure over the injustice melted out to the kid...he was racially murdered...and a jury of 12 individuals (9 whites and 3 blacks) purportedly chosen randomly finds the "white" cop not culpable cos the vote has to be 9 to indict him...reading the cop's statement you will be stunned with his gross exaggeration of events...racism still lives and Africans seems not to give a sh*t

It's just very sad

I soooo agree with you.

Michael Brown isn't exactly a model child, his truancy led to his death so forget all this "race" issues.

Struggling for a policeman's gun and insulting him that he's too pooosie to shoot will always get you shot 8 out of 10 times.

It seems you are not following the trend in Ferguson.

The same day the shooting occurred, Micheal Brown was caught on Camera while shoplifting and when confronted, he bullied both the salespeople and the guards on his escape.

When the video was released to the public, his co-looters went and finish off the supermarket on account that the two incidents weren't related.

Why should Africans be concerned? How many times have African Americans taken up the cudgels for we Africans. They only play the race card when it benefits them.

Did they show any concern when Arab supporters of APC were murdering black African tribes in Dafur region of Sudan?

That was a tribal issue...between people of some region

Forget Arabs, without religion restraining most of them...they would have burned down the world

There were 9 judges (6 whites and 3 blacks) that constitute the Grand Jury that considered 5 count charges and after listening to all those eye witnesses returned no guilty verdict.

Was the unanimous decision a conspiracy?

Were there elements of doubts in the witnesses statements?

Was the policeman's life under threat when Michael Brown was dragging the cop's gun?

Did Michael Brown's past complicate the issues and influenced Grand Jury's decision?

Only time will tell

Been following and heard of the tape but never seen it...was he carting away with stolen item from the shop?...was he the shooter?...and was there undeniable proof (audio conversation included) that he assaulted those people?...and the date on the record?

A black american president is busy spreading ebola here and you want us to worry more about such exotic topics like race relations in the land of diehard racists?

I have watched the video severally, the shoplifting happened the same day according to the Ferguson Police and Michael Brown was the culprit.

However, the question is; Was the shooting related to the said shoplifting? the answer is definitely "No"

Black American hate Africans more white, furthermore 90% percent of charity in African are run by white Americans not black. most of them are even fighting the median to stop calling them African-American but Black--American. also during Bush era American help American with more than 30 billion in aid/charity through USAID while Obama reduce it.

Will download the video and analyse myself...not withstanding, according to eyewitness, he was not only unarmed, he never charged at the cop but was shot repeatedly even as he fell to the ground...according to the cop, he did but why not shoot to restrain him?

The last time I checked, their president was black. Disappointingly enough, he never gives a hoot about African South of the Sahara. Even African Americans view Africans with disdain. The said Michael Brown was obviously a delinquent. I'm not supporting racism, but we've got enough troubles here in Africa, so let them thrash out there own problems.

Africans are a selfish and extremely myopic people. They are also a lazy and cowardly people.

We can't even protest injustice down. We believe in self - preservation. We are a backward people. We keep mute when others are slaughtered. We video it as our people are maimed. We love seeing the killings of others.

A people who can't fight for their rights, will never fight for the rights of others.
ohh pls sve me that bullsh*t ! How mny times hv african americans hv expressed any form solidarity with us whenever we hav problems down here in africa? The same african americans that look down on africans as barbarians that smell andlive on trees sorry I hv my own problems to solve ,michael brown 's issue is d last thing on my mind .may his soil rip

The term "janja.weed" refers to a Sudanese militia that gained notoriety for killing and maiming civilians during the Darfur crisis. Olisa Metuh (PDP spokesman) appropriated that name for the APC, and the name stuck ever since.
