Nothing can be gained from racial conflict. When this bad government of ours promotes and supports cruelty and murder of children and innocent people in other parts of the world, such as Israel and Ukraine, why would anyone think there would be exceptions by that government to protect a rude teenager in Ferguson? Our government doesn't even live up to international law.. Noam Chomsky at United Nations talked about how our easily and simply we could end the problems in Israel if we only had the will to do so. See: It Would Be Nice if the United States Lived up to International Law | Democracy Now! (http://bit.ly/1B87mFS). Obviously our government has no respect for good laws.

More importantly, why would there be such mass protest on behalf of mean thugs of any race INSTEAD OF mass protest over the killing of innocent people and children the world over, or INSTEAD OF mass protest of corrupt elections that allow fascists to keep control of our government? The innocent people in society should be our priority.

We don't need government that pretends racial equality as in the election of a black activist to the Presidency. That started with Obama, who I believe gained the presidency because of the support of rich people who donated to his campaign because they knew he would be "their boy," to bail out the big banks. I believe support by Acorn was just another conspiracy, a creation of the rich. And the rich brought Acorn down when it no longer served their purpose.

Black people are still being duped by the rich to create racial conflict and take our energy away from the real war, the class war, which has made puppets and peons out of 98 to 99 percent of society. Some black leaders become famous and make money encouraging race conflict. They may even get token government jobs for doing so. Many get co-opted. And many protesters are only in the game for the prospect of looting. That is their selfish game. Certainly the neocons of the United States government will never do anything to help solve the problem of social and economic inequality much less police brutality. They may give some images of working at it, but there will be no real solution.

Our government may use programs and tax measures to take away from one race among the 99% to give to another race among the 99%, but it will not take away from the 1% to give to the 99%. So, this will cause the pot to boil over with more racial conflict among the 99%, right? Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the 1% will keep all their advantages. As we can see, Congress is Poised to Eliminate Key Tax Breaks for Middle Class, Provide Permanent Tax Breaks for Corporations - NationofChange (http://bit.ly/1xRMj3W).

While it is true that We Are the Most Unequal Society in the Developed World... And We Don't Know It | OpEdNews (http://bit.ly/11hkxF3), we need to consider the real reasons for this, the evils of capitalism itself. In actuality our whole system is broken. Until we have good government, nothing will change. See A Coherent System - Socialism By Janet Surman (http://bit.ly/1vd80P4).

The real work to solve injustices in society begins with the hard work of revolution by people unified against bad government. In that regard, selflessness is required. Our own single issues must be put on the back burner. In support of this idea see the Article: Why We Need Professional Revolutionists | OpEdNews (http://bit.ly/1xSf304).
