Hilarious that you totally missed the point. The point was that notions that the US fought for independence to get away from racist gits and for egalitarian purposes is basically the opposite of reality. The founding fathers were rich white men that largely owned slaves and the Brits were more progressive, eliminating slavery long before we did. They didn't want to pay British colonial taxes, plain and simple.

Do I really need to point out the obvious on black culture?

The British abolishing slavery ahead of other countries, was simply part of their trade war on the Americas and other nations - and not down to enlightenment, nor egalitarianism. The brits continued to rape nations until the 20th century - when wars bankrupted their empire and they were forced to release their "subject" nations from virtual slavery aka serfdom.

America kicked out the brits, not because of their tax on tea, but because of the british tyranny in the form of undemocratic, ethnocentrist and class-ridden imperialistic government.

The US constitution laid the foundation for a global bill of human rights - including the abolition of slavery -well before the brits thought of it.

The British were more progressive? You are out of your tiny mind. (Read up of the history of Africa).

More lies, or are you not reading your own articles again?
The Whistle Stop did not burn down. It says so in the very article you posted, that there was a small fire that was put out with a garden hose.

So to recap, no business burned down, no looting and no shots fired.

JCman8, if you have proof there were other shots fired apart from what police now attribute to a car running over a water bottle, i'd very much like to see it.
Like the broken eye socket, like the looting last night, all lies.

Last month, the Whistle Stop's owner, Charles Stark, 26, spoke to CNN and described Ferguson as a place that bands together in tough times, "neighbor helping neighbor."

fair comment and true for some elitists!

Fair? On the course of this thread DA has moved from a supposed ethnocentrist view ("defective black culture") to a professed elitist, class-ridden view.

These aren't mutually exclusive. What we have here is poor black culture. Now, poor white culture also sucks, but tends to produce different criminality than what you see here. But culture is everything. I don't see how anyone can deny that.

Thought that was one reason we kicked out the British.

It's still stereotyping and prejudice - whether it's based skin color, ethnicity or class. Pretty repugnant however you want to label your hate.

No, we kicked out the British because we didn't want to pay taxes. Seriously. We had slavery for almost another century afterward, class discrimination is still legal. So obviously that wasn't why we kicked out the British, who in fact banned slavery long before we did.

You're still master baiting.

Why do you think black culture is "defective"? Why do you think the poor can't rise above their designated station in life, and should be exiled to to another planet?

And, shit-for-brains, the Brits abolished slavery AFTER the American Revolution.

Stop trying to justify your blatant racism.Honestly DA - if we met on the street, I'd be tempted to kick your pasty-white ass black and blue.

Score one for DA, the British abolished slavery decades before we did, which is what he said, no? So the 'shit for brains' comment should be self directed.

"And, shit-for-brains, the Brits abolished slavery AFTER the American Revolution." - is what I posted.

Go look up your history books you sfb.

I knew you were just a troll.

The fine Ferguson community continues to loot, commit arson, and shoot at police, all in support of a robber. I wonder why they are dissatisfied with their lot in life?

"Around 11 p.m. local time, a car ran over a water bottle, making a popping sound, police said. The sound seemed to spook people, but it was determined that the popping was not a gunshot."

From the very ABC article you yourself posted below.
Looks like your adult literacy advocacy would be better served on yourself.

How does the killing of an armed burglar equate with the murder of an unarmed Mike Brown with his hands up.
