Seeing all these smart, young, persons of color being allowed to speak out is amazing, making me feel a lot better after all the bullshit going on this weak.

Shame that this is all going to be lost in the MSM and social media narrative in the morning for everyone who wasn't watching the live stream tonight.

Hopefully it will be mentioned in the media that a peaceful protest was ruined by opportunists, but of course we'll instead see lots of "violent protesters", basically lumping them all together.
 
What's been the general reaction so far to the revelations that Brown robbed that store, has a lot of photos throwing gang signs, has photos with guns and lots of cash, and has a rap sheet? Obviously, he didn't deserve to die but has the sentiment changed at all in the mainstream media? I actually don't have cable so I can't watch CNN, Fox News, or MSNBC. :(
 
Man, him mentioning racism being embedded in culture...dayum. He is right on.

We absolutely have to rebuild this system. Racism, sexism, poverty...all of this "Us vs Them" is rooted in our society, and of course that's something a total revolution can only accomplish and fix.

The question is will enough of us be enlightened enough to accomplish this? It seems only some of the oppressed see this, and the rest are apathetic until something affects their neck of the woods.

He has no criminal record according to the police. I've seen a fake one on some shitty forums, but that's it.
 
Maybe I'm crazy but I actually think a good number of morning shows and news programs will mention that protesters protected the store fronts from looters who were not protesters but rather people taking advantage of a moment.

Where are you getting your information?

Of course he has a rap sheet.

I read he had one from the comments section in a Yahoo article. :-/

Man I wish I had cable. It's always interesting to see how the narrative ebbs & flows from channel to channel once more info comes out. Anyone been watching Fox News? They must have been all over the robbery vid and gang sign pics.
