#HandsUpDontShoot

We all need to think of where we're headed as a nation.

#Ferguson Matters

I, for one, applaud the protesters in Ferguson, Mo. I hope that continues nonviolent protesting will help generate a positive change in communities across this country in the wake of the killing of Mike Brown.

Change can't happen if the silent majority are outshouted by the vocal minority.

O'Reilly, Criticism, Blacks

I found this quite interesting. Fox News commentator Bill O'Reilly had interesting comments related to what has been happening in Ferguson, Mo.

This is how he was quoted by Media Matters:

O'REILLY: Do we as a society -- what do we do? Do we weigh in as the boy's father -- and if it were my son, I probably would have said same thing, but he's obviously talking through an emotional prism. His son is dead. He believes, probably -- I know he believes -- that it was an injustice, that it was done for nothing, it was a murder. And many, many African Americans believe that without knowing the facts. Do we criticize them, or do we remain silent?

O'Reilly has never really been shy about criticizing black folks. So, it's hard to understand where he's coming from with this one.
