Ferguson ‘March For Justice’ Met With Racial Slurs, Display Of Fried Chicken From Darren Wilson Supporters
About 50 activists marching from Ferguson to Jefferson City encountered hostility from Darren Wilson supporters in Rosebud. The protesters were met with racial slurs, a display of fried chicken, a melon and and a 40-ounce beer bottle which had been placed in the street. A Confederate flag flew and racial epithets were shouted, according to the Columbia Missourian. Wilson supporters yelled out “welfare checks” to those marching.
One man showed his support for the KKK while staring down protesters. The man pictured reportedly yelled obscenities at the protesters and told them to “get back to work” while he was clearly not at work.
[su_center_ad]The ugly display was caught on video.
One witness observed a boy approximately 8-years-old holding a sign that read, “Go home.”
The window of the buses traveling with the march was shot out. The NAACP titled it the Journey for Justice.
The bullet landed in the windowsill and the outer glass was broken out, according to the driver.
Warning: The language and images are disturbing:
While saying they support law enforcement these are likely the same people who supported Cliven Bundy’s militia supporters who aimed rifles at federal agents.
If you’re traveling through Missouri, I suggest driving around Rosebud, not through it.

Moving to Florida appears less stressful every day.

They just have a different brand of cracker racists in Florida. Unfortunately, no state is immune from this disease.

But at least the temperature is warmer.

So at least you’re not all bundled up as you shake your head at the stupidity of your fellow citizens.

I bet half those folks yelling “welfare checks” are actually on welfare. Protest the march fine because that is their right, but act like an ass … not fine. Makes them the “thugs”. What is up that word lately? I use to hear it in the old black and whites that I use to watch as a kid. (Yes, I was an odd kid. I loved the old black and whites and old musicals. Danny Kaye fan here, but I digress) They called “mob guys” thugs. Are we recycling that term now?
Larry Schmitt December 5th, 2014 at 9:40 am
These “thugs” make Al Capone look like a humanitarian. At least he killed people for money. These people hate for hate’s sake. And if they thought they could get away with it, they would kill, even though they wouldn’t personally profit from it.
Mainah December 5th, 2014 at 9:58 am
I bet they would. That’s the KKK’s history. I found the fried chicken, beer and melon really ridiculous. Oh, and I noticed that the chicken had been eaten and the beer was empty so …. guess that was their lunch? It’s ridiculous. Was Brown a saint, no. Did he deserve to be gunned down in the street? Hell no. Do I think cops have a tough job, yes. But it seems like more cops are just gunning black kids down. If this were white kids this was consistently happening to, would they be ok with it? I sincerely doubt it.
You can’t tell me they don’t have any white kids acting up like that.

hmm.. don’t terrorist hide their face? Al Qaeda , KKK, and other morons like the one pictured?

Thinking outside the box, what if the black athlete went on strike? The black athlete has to know collectively they have a tremendous amount of leverage. You won’t cure racism but respect for solidarity and pro & colleges precious money pit called ncaa athletic department and the mighty professional sports complex might have to cancel games and give back ad money.
The horror!

But a lot of them think like Charles Barkley.

Racism is a hereditary disease.
Mainah December 5th, 2014 at 10:42 am
So is hate.
Larry Schmitt December 5th, 2014 at 10:49 am
Actually it’s learned. That kid wasn’t born hating.

And ‘some people say’…
“We live in a post racial society” (because) there is a ‘black President’…
Those are the same people that deny they are racist (because) they know black people they call “friends”.

impetuous white racist NAZIS never have been known to be patient. – Why the Resistance was so successful in throwing their asses off the planet the last go round.

Rosebud Mo is a tiny farming community off the beaten path, (miles from I-70, on Old 50 Hwy)..
The town (400+ population) consists of a small store, feed outlet and 8 or 10 streets and not much else..
Way back in 1973 I spent the summer near there bucking hay, and working on small farm/cattle ranch for the summer that belonged to my moms boyfriend.
I was 13 year old ‘hippie type” kid and mom wanted me out of the “the KCMO inter city” to keep me out of trouble during the summer..
I see the same old redneck f-ers live there that did back in 1973.

I never understood the fried chicken, watermelon, beer and grape soda thingy. I also like those things, so does that make me black? A “n*gger lover”? If I like those things, but don’t want to be perceived as someone “undesirable” by KKK standards, do I need to consume the items in private?
Larry Schmitt December 5th, 2014 at 2:17 pm
Right, what does a klansman do who likes fried chicken, eat it in the closet? I’m sure they have KFC in the south, and white folks eat there too.

Not only are they cowards, but they’re apparently ASHAMED of their Anglo-Saxon heritage, since they always identify themselves as “white” and never by their true ancestry.
The American Revoloution against King George III has a lot to do with that. Every other American of European ancestry other than English have no problem celebrating the heritage of their ancestors from the “old country,” be they Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Italian, French, German, Polish and so on.
It is only among those decendants of England — especially those in the South — who insist on identifying themselves either simply as “Americans” or as “white,” living in total ignorance or denial of their English ancestry and heritage and have gone to great lengths to cut themselves off from it — all because of the revolution against the English monarch.
Not only have those “lost” descendants of England cut themselves off from their roots, but they have also been the most systematic in attempting to cut everyone else off from THEIR ancestral and cultural roots — including the decendants ot the original inhabitants of this land — insisting that “there is only one America!” One nation, one language, one culture. It’s a vision of America that does not exist in reality and never has.
The USA is not a “melting pot.” It is a mosaic, a patchwork quilt of many peoples and many cultures sewn together by a core set of common beliefs and principles. That patchwork quilt was torn asunder and nearly destroyed in the 1860s by the Civil War.
A century and a half later, I’m beginning to wonder if our national patchwork quilt is in danger of being torn asunder again.
