There are, according to Wikipedia about 21,000 people in Ferguson, Mo. About 67 percent of them are black. That means that about 14,000 of the folks in Ferguson are black.
As far as I can tell, the crowds that the media has shown the past few nights are about 300 people. These are the folks that are getting gassed and such. maybe as many as 500.
Which means that about 13,700 (more or less) of the black population of Ferguson are NOT rioting, and if protesting, are doing it during daylight hours and are doing so peacefully.
