I noticed this didn't get any replies, but a whole lot of views. So, here's one.

Okay, I know I'm late to respond to this but .......
Aretha's wrong...There is a real big difference between the thinking and behavior of
people, regardless of their race, today and folks back in the 60's. We are living in a time when
the worst of groups of people have the most power, get the most respect, most support
and are afforded more passes even when their most selfish acts are made publicly evident.
The Ferguson and Garner protesters may indeed be sincere but on the whole they are
like pimples on a booty. In the day to day real world most folks don't really care about anything beyond their own lives...
