Ferguson

It deeply bothers me that America is pouring so much outrage into the riots of a single neighborhood in a single city but can't summon a fraction of that sentiment for the individual and systemic oppression of non-whites that has existed since before the founding of this country. Yeah, the lady with the bakery story is sad, but how many African Americans in the history of this nation were barred from making their own livelihood? How many great things NEVER CAME INTO EXISTENCE AT ALL because we, white Americans, obstructed their path? I can't even wrap my head around it.
