Ferguson mayor re-elected, WTF?!

[trstar]

so all those protests, and documented legislative abuse didn't mean shit. 14% voter turnout! This was sickening.

This is why we can’t have nice things. Not because they are taken from us. Or hidden from us. Or placed behind a thousand-foot wall we can’t scale. Nope, sometimes black people can’t have nice things because we steadfastly, inexcusably, sabotage ourselves with apathy and ignorance.


On Tuesday night, James K. Knowles—the inept, whitesplaining, cop-coddling, Mike Brown-denigrating mayor of Ferguson, Mo.—was re-elected. He beat out Ella Jones, a black woman and member of the City Council, by fewer than 600 votes. This is just a few weeks after Tishaura Jones, the city treasurer, lost her bid to be St. Louis mayorby a mere 888 votes.

They either cheated or it was too many black folks in the race or the city just fucked up

How many people in the community have criminal records? Part of the reason to lock us up is to prevent us from having the right to have a say in the political process.

70% black city. 14% voter turn out?

This is heartbreaking

 

[Z MONSTER]

No fuckin excuse. The black leaders dropped the ball. They should of been in Ferguson all week with bull horns reminding people election day was coming up. FUCK!

 

[Amajorfucup]

Most of them are nothing but a bunch of posers, generation hash tag, but no real action.. If folks are not even disciplined enough to get off their asses and vote how the fuck are they going to be about the real struggle when it comes to doing real action.
Goes to show you all that barking wasn't about shit.. Because when a black man is killed they do what children do, they get upset throw tantrums but after the pacifier is given to them (usually weed and alcohol) they fall back in their crib suck on their momma tit and forget what the fuck they was crying about in the first place!!
I we learn how to act like real men instead of grown babies this shit would never happen in a million years!!

Now you fools are finally seeing what I've been telling you for years. Blacks are a joke. Motherfucking dumb ass black women always forgiving cacs who murder us, dumb fucking idiots (like most of you here) celebrating ignorance every step of the way... njggas were calling everyone here a coon who disagreed with kapernicks not voting dumb shit.

Well guess what? Black ignorance isn't isolated to bgol. We are just a fucking pathetic joke. Niggas are being treated like fucking dogs in ferguson and these dumb black fools can't get up and vote? Fucking really?!! Then we have niggas here making excuses for these trash niggas!

I'm gonna keep it 100% real... sometimes I totall understand why niggas like that coon sherif or Steven a smith seem to have stances that always opposes blacks...it's because they don't want to be associated with the typical black fool. I don't blame them. We are a fucking embarrassment. Nobody at all likes us... we are universally disliked by all. On dating sites you'll routinely see bitches say "no blacks". I remember some simp made a thread here complaining before about fucking prostitutes on Craigslist saying "no blacks"

They had a 14 fucking percent turnout. I swear, something must be wrong with us on the DNA level. There's no other explanation! How else can a few hundred white niggas go to a foreign continent and round up millions and millions of people and turn them into slaves? There were no automatic weapons. Their best guns took like 5 minutes to reload. They rounded us up like cattle and enslaved us... whatever the curse that was inside of our ancestors is in us now. We allow ourselves to be shat on, we line up to tell the world we forgive the cac, then like fucking idiots we don't vote.

Now,'predictably, the bgol idiots will call me a cac and coon because they hate hearing the truth. They want niggas to continue making excuses for these damn fools.

But I know... black lives matter... of course it only matters when a cop kills a black person. Of course black lives don't matter when it comes to voting and electing someone who might help the black community... nooooooo black lives only matter when blacks can cry victim about some shit.

Fuck you sensitive niggas who can't handle the blunt truth about us... we've been here for over 400 years and fucking spics are even ahead of us in every category... I swear..... we are a disgrace!

It was expected.

 

[knightmelodic]

I'm not sure what voting regulations have been enacted in the state or municipality but repugs are pushing them through with the quickness. And this is the result. Black people are already brainwashed into thinking voting doesn't matter, put another obstacle in their path and you get - 14% turnout.

I'm telling you, that SCOTUS real of the voters rights act will, and has, fucked us for generations to come.

I used to live in that community: North St. Louis County. That's why I left.

Black people are a low self-esteem race.

No desire or willpower to be great and function as a unit like the white supremacists.

That's why they are on top and we're bottom.

It has absolutely nothing to do with numbers. A lot of stupid niggas say dumb shit like, "We're outnumbered!!!"

NOPE!!! That ain't got nothing to do it with it. Stupid. White people are less than 10% of the world population and dominate globally.

Why? Because they're fucking organized.

If every Black person in the whole country did what the fuck I told them to do for 6 months, white supremacy would be long gone.

 

[Deezz]

All that fucking protesting...ALL THAT FUCKING PROTESTING!!!.....TAKE YOUR ASS TO GO VOTE!!!!!! This is what made me so fucking mad with Kaepernick. Dammit we need to be more civic minded. FUCK A FACEBOOK POST, FUCK A BANNER OR SOME DUMB ASS SLOGAN...GET OUT AND FUCKING VOTE!!!!! DAMN!!!!

Oh... thats why?

 

[Mobilemannie]

This happens all over the country. We have President Orange for the same reason. I just don't understand it. So you can march in the streets all day and night but cant stand in line to vote for 1-4 hours?

Same thing is going to happen in 2018 when it's time to vote for Senators and Congressman. Same people yelling for change will be absent from the voting booths on election day.

Before I discuss any political situation with someone, I always ask if they voted. Normally I get a bullshit excuse about why they didn't vote. I just end the conversation.

maybe the people just said fuck it they don't care who is the mayor. most likely that was the reason they didn't vote.

 

[roots69]

WHAT!!! THAT'S UNREAL!!

 

[Soul On Ice]

For the misinformed practicing selective memory loss, people such as myslef have always had the stance that voting for Hillary or Trump was useless for obvious reasons.
However people of my ilk have ALWAYS maintained that it is IMPORTANT to vote locally where the lawmakers directly affect your life.

Nothing more nothing less.

The national elections are used as a gauge, to see if people are still believing in the illusion/dream!! The corruption has made its way into the state and local level!! The system needs a hard reset, theres too glitches/viruses in the system!!
