It didn’t take long. The night after Michael Brown was murdered forces within the local movement were already moving to position themselves. I was approached to be part of it, I refused because everything seemed rushed, we really didn’t have much information, things were still being confirmed and most important the family was not present. Did the family even know? From the moment I refused I became public enemy #1. This Nation article… It didn’t take long for them to set up shop, 2 months to select the faces, who would be anointed ‘prominence’, get the nonprofits popping, none of the orgs using naive Ferguson protesters existed before Mike Brown was murdered. They served their purpose. None of them exist today. A narrative was created and sold. And everything was orchestrated from this point.
