Charming: A white Police Officer in Ferguson stood down after referring to black people as "perverts":

He's also channeling Pa Marmo (could be visa versa)

There are always two side to every story and the facts are yet to be fully substantiated.

The victim wasn't no angel and looks physically imposing.

Some balanced articles that will please some feeling the constraints of white liberal guilt.

Or better yet the "black" President of the United States can take the lead on the issue.

President Obama already has taken the lead. He said the Ferguson police are welcome to be part of "Team Australia".

Meanwhile the Mad Misogynist Monk is wowing the Muslim community in Australia with his exquisite negotiating skills & powers of persuasion. He's sending in George Brandis to consult after legislation has been developed.

Oh Jon Stewart, you've done it again. This time in relation to Ferguson:

When Michael Moore was starting out after his first film in a TV series called the Awful Truth (I remember watching this with my kids when they were still in primary school).

Still pertinent - especially after Ferguson & the Daily Show clip above when Jon Stewart referred to their own current experience with a black reporter & a white producer.

This is long, but this guy rebuts Stewart. Kind of long, not trying to be funny and may offer views on race you don't like. Don't watch it if you're going to get your panties in a bunch when someone discusses race in a non PC way (unless you want to get your panties in a bunch, then please, go on).

How very passive aggressive of you Dr Freud Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes

The guy didn't address what Jon Stewart mentioned at all.

You need to re- watch it & re-watch Jon Stewart. There's little connection between the two apart from mostly straw man arguments:

Jon Stewart did not say that the police are racists because they arrest more blacks than whites. This is what the shock jock said & attributed to Jon Stewart. He used this strategy more than once.

Now if you're going to make a point then please refrain from using some shock jock who makes gross errors & distortions of fact.

Nice try but you'll need to try again with a better critique not someone who misses the point, uses straw man arguments & is basically telling porkypies. It's neither humorous or accurate.
