Hi Folks,
I read and saw video's about the protests in Ferguson and other parts in the USA. How is the stituation right now. Are there protests in your area, or does your local media report about it?
Cheers, Pieter
P.S.- From Europe we look at it as a typical American phenomenon, while we have our race tensions here too. Only it is called or labeled differently over her. Here it is called 'the migration issue', 'the minority problem', or ethnic profiling, the xenophobia issue or discrimination. The difference is that Afro-Americans are Americans.

This is what we see over here. We think burning American city, LA 92 or Newwark 1968.
One video can shape an image!

Pieter,
I have mixed feelings about Ferguson. This "hanging somebody" mentality is not a good thing. There are many problems in black commmunity and we need to hear more about comprehensive solutions. I saw the interview with Darren Wilson and he does not look like somebody who would shoot a guy without a reason.
Mike Brown was a troubled man. There is a video showing him stealing and then pushing away a guy.
