Natalie DuBose, owner of Natalies Cakes & More in Ferguson was victimized last week. Owning her own bakery had been DuBoses dream for years. As a black American entrepreneur, she worked multiple jobs trying to save extra money. But after opening this summer, that dream nearly went up in flames when rioters smashed the shops windows and damaged her equipment Tuesday night. DuBose didnt give up. As soon as she could, she started baking again. According to one local media report, DuBose didnt want to let down customers with Thanksgiving orders. Standing in stark contrast to DuBose is Lisa Fithian, a white, unapologetic sixties-style radical, who has been camped out in Ferguson, Missouri, for weeks. Fithian is an avowed socialist, union organizer, anti-war protestor and anti-Israel activist. She is a professional agitator behind many of the violent protests that have become emblematic of todays political left, including the Occupy Wall Street movement. In fact, one left-wing media outlet even dubbed Fithian Professor Occupy. While DuBose is trying to serve the Ferguson community, Fithian is fomenting destruction and division. Al Sharpton has suggested that the problem in Ferguson is too many white police officers. But if anyone is looking to blame white people for the strife in Ferguson, they should look at white leftists like Fithian. Fithian hates capitalism and believes we must dismantle or transform the old order. She once told the International Socialist Review, I have no issue with property destruction. I think sometimes its appropriate. . . After witnessing the destruction of her shop and property, DuBose, a single mother of two, told NBC News, I was like, Wow, you guys really just didnt care, you didnt care, and this affects whether I can feed my children or not. . . Thankfully, many Americans do care. Local residents stopped by to help her clean up. A GoFundMe page was created to help pay for the damage. Celebrities like Patricia Heaton promoted it. Within 24 hours, thousands of Americans had donated nearly $200,000. Gary Bauer
