Although I plan to see the Ferguson, Missouri uprising documentary Whose Streets? in a theater this week, I’ve declined to write about the film up to this point because mentalunrest’s editorial policy typically forbids me from writing about media I’ve neither seen nor experienced, but I have to share some thoughts about the recent and […]
Read More Whose Streets? Film and the New Black LeadershipVertical thinking— disguised this time as the pseudo-theoretical Ferguson Effect—is once again blurring the Post-Racial American debate as proponents of ham-fisted shock troops policing through communities of color attempt to send followers of the Black Lives Matter movement scurrying back to a minimized existence with tails between legs. Unfortunately Americans seem to often fall for […]
Read More THE FERGUSON EFFECT AND DEADLY VERTICAL THINKINGWhile most Americans don’t seem to care about the brewing FIFA corruption scandal, I’m equally amused and annoyed about how the US Justice Department can find the time and energy to file criminal charges against an international soccer organization, but can’t seem to arrest banking executives for laundering the money of Saudi terrorists and Mexican […]
Read More AMERICA’S PUZZLING FIFA BEEFOver 90 years ago in young America, gangs began to squeeze money out of communities using a mixture of business savvy, intimidation and terrifying brute force. You likely know most of these gangs by another name—the Mafia. There seemed to be no end to the Mafia’s momentum of reign in America, if not for two […]
Read More CITY OF FERGUSON DESERVES MAFIA TREATMENTOn the Ferguson Grand Jury decision to not indict Michael Brown’s killer, Officer Darren Wilson… My pen has been silent up to now. I’ve been sharing my thoughts online since Brown’s death, so I’m not sure what’s new to add here. I’m hurt by the lack of an indictment, but I’m not surprised. Not one bit. While […]
Read More AFTER FERGUSON: WHY THERE WILL BE MORE BLOODOn the one hand, you have President Obama—albeit late—discussing Ferguson, Missouri and the Michael Brown shooting as examples of America’s imperfect and unjust criminal justice system, while the other has one of the President’s federal agencies creating a no-fly zone over Ferguson this past August so that that media helicopters could not record the police […]
Read More TEAM OBAMA ENABLED FERGUSON INJUSTICENew readers who wonder why I call American Democrats the Party of No Guts and Republicans the Party of No Brains can look to East-West Gateway’s latest Where We Stand report (pdf) on St. Louis Racial segregation for part of my reasoning. Go ahead and point out the PNBs’ legendary record of racial hang-ups to […]
Read More THE PARTY FOR SEGREGATION!College students in Morgantown, West virginia witnessed an event yesterday that caused them to set fires, pull down streetlights and cause additional property damage worth thousands of dollars. The students also threw bottles and rocks at police officers, who attempted to contain these riots. Pepper spray and tear gas were eventually used to disperse the crowd. What was […]
Read More A TALE OF THREE RIOTSA long time ago, an observant man from this organization summarized people who subscribe to dialectic axioms as “folks who believe that once you identify ‘what it is,’ you’ve automatically identified ‘what it’s not.’” Many news organizations use this tactic, either by accident or by design, to simplify a complex world for their audiences. So … […]
Read More ANGEL SHOOTS DEVIL TO DEATH IN FERGUSONPeople who ask “How come Blacks can’t get ahead” – whether in inquisitive or derogatorily accusative terms – can look to ArchCity Defenders‘ researched exposé (pdf) of Ferguson Missouri’s predatory law enforcement and court systems for a source of answers which will remind you of America’s post-Civil War Black Codes.
