A Lesson the Rioting Unemployed of Ferguson Need to Learn

Ari L. NoonanEditor's Essays

Our dear racist friends on the left are off their meds again.

The happily unemployed racists in Ferguson can read these words on their freshly stolen computers.

What Scrooge would begrudge a racist a window of joy – scanning the internet — that normal Americans take for granted?

Racists not only take for granted, they take umbrage, and on Riot Night in Ferguson, they take anything they darned well please, including a whole panoply of electronic gadgetry they can sell to flat-foot floogies even dumber than they are.

Y’all come to Riot Night – CNN anchor Don Lemon, a gay black racist and an emotional purveyor of racist America, said Riot Night in Ferguson was an acceptable response. Why? 

Because, he reasoned, a dirty cop had shot an unarmed innocent black teenager who was resisting arrest last Saturday. “Who knows how anyone would react in those circumstances?” said Mr. Lemon, who is one, in defense of the lunatic mobbies.

Mike Brown, 18, the belligerent resistor in Ferguson, was not believed to be en route to Executive Training class when he was intercepted by police.

For the last three days, white and black racists have been bloodily screaming – or rather performing before the cameras – begging authorities to identify the shooting officer. Wisely, the police chief is resisting.

Can you imagine what these unemployed actors would do were his name to be divulged?

Clearly, context is desperately needed. Digest these restorative words:

This past weekend in Chicago, 26 people were shot, including a 16-year-old who died. Yet Al Sharpton is headed not to the Second City but to suburban St. Louis to protest the weekend shooting death of Michael Brown, who police say was killed while resisting arrest.

What happened in Chicago—black people shooting black people—is sadly routine and of secondary concern to civil rights industry operators like Mr. Sharpton, whose agenda is keeping the focus on whites and the supposedly racist “system.” The Chicago shootings don't advance that agenda, so Mr. Sharpton is taking his talents to St. Louis, where he will put racial solidarity ahead of condemning bad behavior and pretend that our morgues are full of young black men due to miscreant police officers.

The reality is that blacks are 13% of the population and half of all homicide victims—90% of whom are killed by other blacks. The problem is not cops shooting blacks but blacks shooting each other.

This was the lead to Jason Riley’s essay in Tuesday’s Wall Street Journal (http://online.wsj.com/articles/political-diary-sharptons-search-for-relevance-1407882733).

The stench-stained apprentice thugs of Ferguson should serve Mr. Riley’s tasty tome at every evening meal for the next year until the bi-polar racists reel in their immature anger and find a job.

Mr. Riley, you see, is one of them. He is black, but he is not really one of them. He is conservative, that is normal.
