When I first read this article I speed read/scanned it quickly before I backtracked to this particular paragraph...

"The once-thriving St. Louis suburb was transformed from a white majority to a mostly black community in just over a decade as African Americans moved there for better schools and better lives. Most white residents left."

There seems to be a pattern among us black folks in particular places where we neglect to bring an overall value to a new situation whether it be integration or separation!

If black people move in and white people move out it is as if suddenly the property value went down and some of us have not a clue how to reverse the despair that soon follows!

There has to be some point it time where having black folks around becomes a greater blessing in some form or another!

We can't continue to bring the sad gloomy blues when jazz is so much more up tempo and invigorating...

Most people here know me and how I really feel about Gangsta (C)rap and in light of the recent Suge Knight situation it is easy to see how predictable the behavioral patterns are and where they eventually end up for us longterm!

It's not so much as to whether we want to wear t-shirts that proclaim "Black Lives Matter" it is whether or not we want to literally make them matter by our actions!

If there is a room full of 100 white folks and slowly over time those white folks are each replaced by a black person until 100 is reached and that room somehow becomes of lesser value mysteriously we need a serious gut check as a people about this whole "We Come From Kings and Queens" concept!

All the black militants and black civil rights leaders can rant until they turn blue black but until we start to see a better value in our selves nothing will change!

The 100 million dollar question is how are the white folks doing that left Ferguson for greener pastures and why they left in the first place and did they bring up the property value wherever it is that left went to!

Another question is why so many whites stuck around to be police officers in an area that became mostly black!

Also... Why are there not more black police officers or is that Thug Life seems to be a more cooler option!

It appears as if certain self fulfilling prophecies are taking place here where the language needs to be adjusted or...

Normally I try to be very offensive on purpose for the sake of making a point so feel free to be angry and upset all you want with me until the next Ferguson incident somewhere else in Smalltown, U.S.A. 

Maybe instead of being Black and Proud maybe we should start being Black and Cocky as if wherever we are we bring value to whatever whenever however...
