Where are those elements of opportunistic folk who added fodder to the flames now?
Reading some of the guesses as to why the Black population struggles as such, jobs, or lack of, and poverty, I can't help but think why I don't see this behavior exhibited more around the world, if this is a motivating factor of people living in those circumstances....
Why do we hear about victimhood as justification, as opposed to seeing stories about those that have risen above their trappings?

I live in St. Louis and the "anniversary festivities" for Michael Brown are just beginning. His metamorphosis from thug to angel cut down in the prime of his life is almost complete.
Last night a black man with his 5 year old daughter in the car purposely drove into a parked police car, backed up and ram it again. When arrested, he was shouting "this is for all the black people".
Tell me how, by the time his daughter is old enough to formulate ideas, she doesn't latch on to the victimhood mentality and continues the cycle for another generation? How do we keep the self destructive nature of the past 2 or 3 generations from infecting the next 2 or 3?
