There Is A Race Riot Going On In America Right Now!! by igbo2011(m): 6:10am On Aug 14, 2014
Ferguson, Missouri is having a riot due to the killing of Michael Brown by the police. He was unarmed and was going to start college very soon. This is a racist attack. Africans on the continent must have solidarity with Africans in the Diaspora!!!

What are your thoughts on this and race in America?

Quite unfortunate, some people are still racist fools, like they are better than we are. Obama's black. I wonder what he has done about it, perhaps the protesters are expecting his intervention.

Obama is mixed and waa raised by a white woman.
Funny it took a white woman to raise somebody blacks like to call the first black President.
And black women can't stop loving and worshipping a white woman's hair....hair hatted hooligans!

Obama ain't black, dude is mixed race. When will people get that right.



MODIFIED!!!!
For y'all that keeps quoting me; I have this to say, its actually from one of my replies to the numerous quotes.

Yea he is 50% black and 50% white. He is as much white as he is black. But it seems everyone (especially whites) thinks anything aside a pure white breed is black. There is nothing in between.
Black blood contaminates everything. PATHETIC.
Its sad that fellow blacks are joining too. Imagine how many people have attacked me on this. And we will be the first to cry victim of racism, while we are indirectly accepting to be discriminated against.

In 2 different towns in the space of days, black men have been shot by police for just walking.

Of course, riots will ensue. Especially after the Zimmerman nonsense

From CNN.

Ferguson, Missouri (CNN) -- A new witness in the police shooting of unarmed teen Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, told CNN that Brown and the police officer tussled at the police car window, then the officer shot the teen multiple times, as Brown backed away.

"What I saw was when Michael and the cop were wrestling through the window," Tiffany Mitchell told CNN's Don Lemon. A shot was fired while Brown was out the window. He got free, and the officer got out of the vehicle, followed Brown and shot him, she said.

He raised his hands, and the officer kept firing, she said.


At night, Ferguson has taken on the appearance of a police state, with tear gas canisters deployed to disperse crowds after some have become unruly.

Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon says he will visit Ferguson on Thursday, canceling a previously planned outing elsewhere in the state.

Police fired tear gas at a crowd of protesters late Wednesday for another night, as the group gathered to protest Brown's deadly shooting.

Officers in riot gear then marched toward the protesters near a burned out gas station, which has become the gathering point for demonstrations.

Police announced that they no longer considered the protest peaceful, before they fired the canisters, CNN producer Yon Pomrenze said. People fled in all directions, as the stinging clouds wafted by them.

A separate small group of over a dozen people gathered outside Ferguson's police station holding up signs and chanting protests for a fifth day.

@OP. Racisim is still a problem in America....but not all racists are white.

Plus,it is good that people are protesting about Mr Brown's death.....but when it is black on black violence....silence.

Again, sad that Ferguson Missouri has just 3 black officers out of a police force of dozens. In a city that is 67% BLACK

it's sad really. We treat the whites with respect, i mean hardly can you see any of them with a low ranking job. We can't over-please them, some of us aren't wired that way.

What!!!
What are u smoking? Even with the shootings and all it is still safer for them. Do u have an idea of how many people has been shot down by the police and force men in Nigeria this year? How much of it have you seen in the news or how much of it has been protested against. And you are talking about patriotism when the government does not care about it citizens.
Patriotism is good, I encourage it, but don't expect it from a Nigerian like its normal or something or a duty cos the government hasn't given us reasons to be.

Wrestling with a cop? shocked
So in real sense he broke the law and tried to evade the law,and the cop did his job(the cop was a black dude).

So were's the Racist activity here again
Or are they saying bcus he was black,the cop should have let him go
