Nothing Is Going To Change After Ferguson.

Since Reagan the GOP and RW agenda is to suppress minority dissent. There is little chance that leaders of minority groups particularly blacks are going to develop national leadership like occurred in the past with people like Jesse Jackson, Ralph Abernathy, Bobby Seal et al.

The "war on drugs" and incarceration are methods the authorities have used to jail as many blacks a possible. It is good policy to eliminate potential leaders before they have chance to develop. And with a cooperative press minorities voice will never be heard. The police nationally are the "new enforcers" of such policies. The police are the guarantors of white supremacy in the US now. There is little chance that organizations like the Black Panthers will ever emerge again.

It obvious that the GOP and RW are determined to prevail no matter what. The killing of blacks and even hispanics is more then coincidental. And I believe we are in an era of minority suppression. And at the arming of white militias and the re emergence of the KKK is no accident.

It is all part of a plan to return to the pre civil rights era. And the GOP is comfortable that no one will call them out for their blatant racist which if more obvious every day. To be blunt the new GOP is racist and bigoted and KKK from top to bottom. The only difference is that O"Connel and Bonhead are NOT wearing their white hoods.

Our outrage has no path to empowerment. The GOP racisit own the top media, are embraced by all in the NRA essentially, the Courts are deaf and blind, and politicians follow the money. We are boxed into a padded cell.

Nothing changed after Columbine or any other mass shooting.
Nothing changed after any one of the numerous cases of police brutality
Nothing changed when Wall Street almost financially sank this country

However, after 9-11, the PTB used it for every opportunity to pass legislation for laws that ultimately are used against our own people on a daily basis.

Go figure.

If only there were an opposition party that would stand up and fight against the fascists that control this country.
