Thatâs because many of the fine gawd farinâ patriots in the Missery National Guard hail from the overtly racist klanholes in the backwood hillbilly rural parts of that state.

OhâŚwaitâŚOh, I thought the n-word for CNN was NewsâŚ
Don, you can be sure they use the word ALL the time when blacks are out of earshot.
And is ANYONE really SURPRISED?
One of the reasons we have so many African American men in prison/jail isnât necessarily because of the crimes theyâve committed (or accused of committed), itâs because a lot of the people in power, in office (police officers, judges, etc. - and politicians) are white and a lot of them are racists.
Imagine that someone involved in the KKK movement, is a police officer, and lives in a community thatâs predominantly black?
True story, but his producer wonât go on the record and be ID? Whatâs the point? This is just he-said, she-said.
This is a classic example of whatâs wrong with contemporary journalism: anonymous sources.
Itâs not surprise, no matter what they politely call it. Itâs outrage. And itâs entirely justified.
And the reason theyâre talking about it, is in the hope that people will realize that it IS the status quo, and it DOES do significant damage, and it DOES need to change.
So did Jay Z in âTom Fordâ in âMagna Carta Holy Grailâ. Donât see no one burning his house.
LOVE. I bet he was wearing pressed slacks when this all happened, too.

Humph. TPM itself has documented that Missouri National Guard has a problem with Neo-Nazis.
Missouri National Guard Investigates Another Soldierâs Alleged Racist Ties
For the second time this year, officials with the Missouri National Guard are investigating whether a white supremacist has been serving in their midst.
In March, officials accused a Missouri guardsman of participating in neo-Nazi activities while also serving in the militaryâs honor guard,âŚ
Now, the military is investigating whether another guardsman, an Iraq War veteran, might have traveled to Florida to train a group of white supremacists who were accused earlier this month of planning to start a race war and arrested as part of a domestic terrorism probe.
More info here at SPLC
Missouri National Guard Probes Claims of Neo-Nazis in Ranks
The Missouri National Guard is investigating a new claim that its ranks are infiltrated with neo-Nazis â this time a âpatched memberâ of the violent American Front, whose members stand accused of plotting violence in Florida.
So this should be s surprise to exactly nobody.
Not the least bit surprising. I called in to the Ferguson police dept. last Weds night at the height of the meelee to tell them that the eyes of the world were upon them and what we were seeing was not good at all. I was not aggressive or rude at all. An âOfficer Julieâ answered and rather beligerantly first off asked what my creds were (military?law enforcement?) because otherwise I was not âqualifiedâ to do a critique of the police behavior. I told her I am a citizen and my creds are my civil rights as guaranteed by the constitution. She also said the townspeople were "behaving in a âdisgusting mannerâ. Then she hung up. So am I surprised? No. Not one little bit! 
Oh for crying out loud every black person out there says nigger. They call themselves niggersâŚtheir children hear the word day in and day out and someone in the NationalâŚget itâŚNational freaking Guard says nigger and this made up reporter thinks heâs shocked? Really? AWWW. His family probably uses the wordâŚI bet his mother uses the wordâŚevery one of them except Oprah (to my knowledge) uses this wordâŚso shut up about it. It just a word. CrackerâŚitâs just a word. Big freaking deal. Man⌠a real reporter dude just got his head CUT OFF and your diapard butt is crying about the word nigger. Really dude. Grow up.
Film at 11. LOL.
Iâm making a comment about the editorial skills of CNN and TPM, not a statement about behavior. Iâd kick that guy to the curb so fast it would make his head spin, but he is NOT a spokesman for the National Guard. That is an actual job title, or at the very least, a function assigned to someone in authority. The guardsman in question didnât have the position, authority and quite frankly the intelligence to make any statements on behalf of the National Guard.
Thereâs been enough gross over-simplification, stereotyping and good old fashion prejudice during this difficult situation to last a lifetime. Itâs not any prettier when its from the left than when its done from the right.
But going along with your premise, can I assume that all people who comment about this situation feel exactly like you do. After all, you did comment on TPM, so its safe to assume that all commenters share your exact same opinion on every subject. Did I get that right?
