Paul Kersey, the author of Escape from Detroit, focuses his attention on the racial history of not only Ferguson, but the entire St. Louis region in Bell Curve City, where a combination of white flight from black crime and the federal government mandated Section 8 Housing created the conditions enabling the scenario of what happened on August 9 between Wilson and Brown. Bell Curve City proves the cry of "Black Lives Matter" is not only a hypocritical one, but a mantra devoid of any historical evidence to support the assertion of the sanctity of black life: especially when one looks at the unmentionable racial realities shaping St. Louis and Ferguson.
