What exactly is the POINT in all this protesting over Michael Brown's death?
Twelve nights now and I haven't seen anyone step forward to organize and lead these protests - not to push a black agenda or any agenda at all. The world is watching Ferguson Missouri right now and presumably the people are hoping to break down racial barriers in law enforcement. Presumably they want to see more blacks on the police force and in public office.
HOWEVER; no demands have been made...no one has called out the black president of the United States who remains neutral and unpassionate through it all (facebook posts don't count unless the President is on your friend list)...no one has called for black people across America to stand in solidarity with the people of Ferguson...the black civil rights leaders are asking for calm...no one is using this opportunity to really push an agenda -- not for civil rights, racial equality, a stop to police brutality...nothing!
But isn't now the perfect time?
People are coming from all over to protest in Ferguson and I fear that at the end of the day, some mediocre policies will be changed or implemented to pacify the people...but what change will really come for black America? The people of Ferguson has gained the world's attention with their loud cries but it's time for the crying to subside and time for talking to begin.
People from all around are ready to stand in support of the people of Ferguson, but the problem is...
PEOPLE OF FERGUSON MISSOURI...YOU HAVE TO TELL US WHAT YOU WANT!!
