The Deeper Issues in Ferguson | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: The original sin is actually blame and it is endemic and why we have both tanks and molotov cocktails in Ferguson.  What Christ brings us is forgiveness, and the requirement to forgive, which overcomes all blame. This is exacerbated by 24 hour news coverage, which attracts both the New Black Panter Party, a variety of anarchists and the Klan.  Civil rights marches should mean something besides getting on TV. The lesson for Ferguson is that black people must vote - only six percent do so now, which is why the Mayor and police are white. Hopefully these events will help them realize that voting matters.  Further information is needed on why voting does not occur in the majority of the community.  Is it apathy or is it deliberate disenfranchisement of voters?  People are looking so time will tell.  As for poverty in Ferguson, it does not appear that there is any.  Photos show it is nice place with nice people, which is what makes this so tragic.   (Oh, and turn off the damn cameras).
