Rest assured that the riots, the violence, the looting, and the destruction of private property that has taken place in Ferguson, Missouri in the wake of Michael Brown’s death has all been for the greater good.  The attention all of this brings will, according to Missouri Highway Patrol Captain Ron Johnson, “make it better for our sons to be better black men.” 

 

Pardon me for asking the question, but should we be teaching our children to become better white men, brown men, or black men rather than simply becoming better men and better American citizens?  I’ll stop there, lest I offend someone with my lack of focus upon one’s skin color and the need to cling to racial identities.

 

“St. Louis has never had its true race moment,” according to Ferguson committeewoman Patricia Byrnes.  They’ve never had the moment where they’ve had to “confront this.”

 “This,” of course, is violence and destruction at the hands of angry black mobs fixated upon destroying property and securing for themselves goods that they would not otherwise have purchased in a legal exchange of value.  “This” is lawlessness based upon a perceived injustice that may or may not have occurred against someone with a particular skin hue that a mob holds in favor.  And according to her logic, if “this” were to happen in Watts today, we may presume it would be unjustifiable because Watts’ residents confronted the destructive energies of citizens angry about perceived racial injustice back in the 60’s.  They already got “this” lesson.  Ferguson residents are now getting theirs, that’s all.
