"Bad Black People"
Why Bill O'Reilly Is Wrong Even When He's Right
***
Ferguson spawned a new civil-rights era? "Evidence suggests that Ferguson both disturbed and mobilized a nation....Officers around the country and in Ferguson are donning body cameras, and communities...are giving back their military-grade hand-me-downs. Moreover, a new generation of activists, who were not weaned on the nonviolence of the Civil Rights Era, is coming to the fore and looking to a different protest model....To be sure, the combination of protests, riots, and looting were hardly unifying. Whites continue to be far more likely to condemn the looting than are blacks. But there seems to be more agreement on one thing: Large shares of both blacks and whites thought police went too far in their response." Patrik Jonsson in The Christian Science Monitor.
