Just watched a story on CBS local news. Many residents of Ferguson MO are complaining that they have lost confidence in the city council due to having too many white people. The story says that 5 of 6 council members and the mayor are white. In comparison 70% of the population are not white and they don't feel that they can be treated fairly in Ferguson so they may have to move somewhere else.

None of the people interviewed seemed to make the connection of 70% not white and the ability to control the election. Hmm WTF, must be that common core math.

Obviously it's racist. Everything is racist. Despite the fact that they could vote whoever they wanted to... But I suppose you can't be a felon and be on the City Council...

Yeah, I'm sure the threat of parasites leaving town has rattled the city council to the core.

I thought I was hearing a rattle snake....but it was just the Council and the Mayor's teeth chattering from the threat.

I see they like statistics...

How about some statistics of the violent criminals in Ferguson?

To be on a city council you have to do some readin', some  writin', and do some "rithmetic".

This may explain a great deal.

Simple facts. Black residents don't vote or run for office.

I don't know, I fear that the FSA is waking up and realizing that they have the numbers to control the vote if they unite all the factions. Look at the number of "yes" votes to dope, minimum wage increases, free shit in general. How much more debt can be accumulated to fund the non-working segment of the population before it all explodes?

I'm just speaking to the situation in Ferguson.  That is why the city council is almost all white.

It is an indisputable fact that a majority of Ferguson's elected officials are minority members who bring their unique perspective to the business of government. Isn't that a wonderful thing called "diversity?"

I do.  You do also, s do most people.  The biggest problem with the solution is that nobody wants to talk about it.  

Just to be clear, the first step is to eliminate 95% of welfare and welfare type subsidies.  That could go one of two ways, and that would determine step two.

I'm curious... I'm pretty sure I know the first way, but have no clue of a possible second way.  Are you saying that there's hope for a calm resolution?

Someone should point out how incredibly racist they are.

This p.c. notion that only white people can be racist needs to stop!!

I believe in America, and I can hold out hope for a .01% chance of a calm resolution.  It would take a very strong leader able to communicate that short term pain would lead to the future well being of our great Nation.  In reality, there is a 99.99% chance it will end through violent resolution.

The caveat for the above scenario is doing what needs to be done.

They don't want to vote in person.  That's what unions or ACORN are for!

The fact that minorities are too dumb and/or lazy to vote is racism bordering on hate crimeism.

Well, that is my feeling, too, but I was hoping for another angle I hadn't considered.
