The the question is was the 'ill-advised' riots the enabler?

[Sir X]

The question is will they make any changes or be just as corrupted or worse ?

[Rockman]

In a looong ago post,I mention the disparity..,that had to change ,and steps are being taken...
The Ferguson matter is perhaps the most significant of the period,the demonstrations it sparked and the fact such demonstrations transcended state lines.It provided a blueprint for subsequent police abuse etc.
I would say the people of Ferguson can be trusted to stay the course,it is an infirmed society.
I will know answer my question above,YES,the riots were instrumental..

[Sir X]

Of course so was everything else , if you read Kings birmingham letter where he spelt out direct action in a non violent way and the consequences of the state not listening to that form of actions, it all was instruemental in fergueson,played from his book(his letter)

The blue print for this was Kings direct action, he evens spell out the ramifications and instruemental use of violence, house negroes, liberal whites , etc, it is all up to us (africans) to be instruemental in one way or another,riots,boycotts,marches, etc /etc .

You see why I have a problem with the JFJ when they were jumping up and down about police killings ,King called them out 40 years ago as hypocrytes.


You deplore the demonstrations that are presently taking place in Birmingham. But I am sorry that your statement did not express
a similar concern for the conditions that brought the demonstrations into being. I am sure that each of you would want to go
beyond the superficial social analyst who looks merely at effects and does not grapple with underlying causes. I would not
hesitate to say that it is unfortunate that so-called demonstrations are taking place in Birmingham at this time, but I would say in
more emphatic terms that it is even more unfortunate that the white power structure of this city left the Negro community with no
other alternative.


This letter needs to be looked at and studied by every human rights organization, there are certain standards that apply in every movement that is found in this letter.
