Ferguson & The Failure of Black Politics

The stark and moving images arising from the violence, repression and resistance of Ferguson, Missouri, continue to percolate throughout national and global consciousness.

If, as the old saying goes, ‘a picture is worth a thousand words’, the thousands of images radiating from Ferguson must be worth millions of words.

And those words are damning; “state terror” turns its fearful face towards Black alleged citizens who dare protest against state violence. One looks at these images and sees in an instant that there is a war against Black people.
