How about you return to your ancestral country if you don't like the way we wear our hair or clothes, or name our children, or accent and slang we speak with, our music, or anything else that whites seem so disgusted with. Why is it whitey thinks he gets to set the standards of these things? Blond haired blue eyed baby Jesus say that is the way of the world?
Try living every day of your life under the suspicion that you deal drugs for a living, can't earn a degree, can't raise children or hold a marriage vow sacred. Then add to that getting paid half for the same work... if you can get the same job at all due to the aforementioned issues. Finally consider that all leads to shoot first ask questions later by your law enforcement... Now, you don't think that sort of thing is going to eventually lead to a bunch of mutually pissed off people that are sick of the status quo and ready to act out? I mean, you all celebrate the rioters of the Boston Tea Party like they are great patriots and heroes of the revolution but you have a problem with anyone else protesting injustices? What's up with that?

I, for one...don't have a problem with people peacefully protesting injustices. What's happened in Ferguson isn't an injustice. They're floating the word 'injustice' in an attempt to justify their rioting, vandalism, arson and hooliganism.
"People that are sick of the status quo?" What? The status quo of law and order?
I see a bunch of bottom-feeders with a misguided sense of entitlement using this shooting as a lynchpin excuse to simply trash establishments owned by other law-abiding citizens. Total loss as to what they hope to gain from it all...other than police charges and jail sentences.
I think along with shipping out all the malcontents to a country of their choice, we should include all the white apologists, too.
There was a time when my ancestors owned half of downtown Manhatten - much of their land holdings were lost due to appropriation during the Empire Loyalist migration north to Canada. We don't expect apologies for the lost land...nor do we continue to pursue something that is ancient history. We've moved on - worked hard for our living...re-established ourselves and helped settle a new country. Life's too short to go around constantly looking for scapegoats and apologists.
