C. J. Reid on Missouri 'Whistling Dixie' | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: Reid is actually talking about just one neo-confederate Yahoo, or so he says.  For all he knows, the assemblyman in question was pursuing Nullification because he wanted to legalize Weed - or he might be just that kind of idiot.  More importantly is why Ferguson is evolving has it has, a former sundown city that now has a majority black population, with surrounding ghetto towns who are as apt to send protesters to the streets as Ferguson itself - maybe more so.  Housing rights and white flight say more about this than one member of the legislature - especially in a state that is getting more purple all the time (as in, if Kerry had put some money into it, he might have beaten a sitting President).  That is why it is so toxic - because it is potentially in play.
