Fucking A, why doesn't @CNN go all full tilt, self-loathing racist and replace Don Lemon with Allen West?

White people after the #FergusonDecision (with Thurston Howell III accent) "Dear God, think of all the inventory!"

#Ferguson is the antebellum south's selfie. #FergusonDecision #PrayForFerguson

So, Michael Brown was simultaneously a demonic Hulk Hogan who nonetheless couldn't hit Wilson hard enough to cause serious bruising? Right.

If it hadn't resulted in a dead kid, Wilson's attempt to portray the incident as a David Vs Goliath matchup would be risible. #Ferguson

Someone please tell me how shooting an unarmed kid with his hands up from half the length of a football field away, is not murder. #Ferguson

I have never been more ashamed to be an American than I am now. And after Bush II, that's saying a lot. #FergusonDecision

Unconditional love and racist hatred have one thing in common: Both mean never having to say, "I'm sorry." #Ferguson #Fergusondecision

#Ferguson proves that nearly a century after the Civil War's end we still can't have a substantive dialogue about race relations in America.

It's mind boggling how many people seeing what's going on in #Ferguson tonight don't see anything wrong other than black agitation.

You thought MLK's assassination & the Rodney King verdict resulted in riots? Wait. Just wait. #FergusonDecision #PrayforFerguson

Fox's whites like to think white privilege just took a step forward but in reality civil rights were pushed 5 steps back.#FergusonDecision

Nearly a century and a half after the Civil War's end. And the "dialog" on race usually comes out of the business ends of a gun or noose.
Otherwise, good tweet.
Jesus Christ, I can't believe I did that. I meant to write "century and a half", too.
Tweeting in anger - tweet rage? Tweet temper?
I appreciate that you can fight the good fight. It is good to know that you are among those out there doing so.
Thanks, JP
MJ, nobody "fights" on Twitter or any social networking site. Anyone can be a smartass from the safety of their home. The people doing the real fighting are the ones in the front lines at Ferguson and Boston and New York and DC and London and everywhere in which outraged people are risking life, limb and freedom.
