Why All the Noise, Ferguson MO?

For lack of a more dignified way to ask the question:

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.  

STRAIGHT ON GAY PRIDE

With the cries for LGBT rights steadily on the rise, unsurprisingly, the newest movement in popular culture is “Straight Pride.”  As I ingest the arguments from both sides of the fence I can’t help but wonder:  In a so called modern and progressive world; why does any human have to fight to be considered equal to another?

Why exactly, are we up in arms about the rights and freedom of homosexuals?

Unless I’m mistaken, equal rights for the LGBT community do not mean that it’s no longer acceptable to be straight.  Just as black rights never meant that it was no longer acceptable to be white.  We live in a free world.  In order to maintain freedom, it is essential that every individual is held in equality against all others in accordance with the law.  The law is not a matter of personal convictions.
