Ferguson and all those that did not come out to vote to get some power behind them. We are the ones that put RACISM back in power. Demonstrations will only last for a moment.

Think about it, 44 to 50 years ago he was making a lot of money(no one said anything). Now that he is old and sick accusers are coming out of the wood work. The statue of limitations has long past but all it takes is a smear. to knock down a legend. SAD no more reruns or anyway to make any money at all.

The accusations have been very consistent over several years. I'm inclined to believe these ladies....but I guess the truth will be revealed.
