None of these events happens in a vacuum.... The tinder was there... Michael Brown was the spark. Indeed. That is what people who say, "What's the big deal about one black kid getting killed? That happens all the time." As I've read on RW blogs--they of course go on to cite murder statistics in black communities and how many murders black people commit themselves. But it is pretty clear to me reading some of these reports that this was an already inflamed community, racially polarized. Missouri was a border state back in the day, and there are still some very racist elements in it. IMHO, what we are seeing is a combination of a community that has had "enough" of white BS as well as some undisciplined black adolescent BS that doesn't know how to effectively get things done.
