I personally don't like wading into fights like this (I generally stayed out of the Travon Martin/George Zimmerman debacle too) because it always devolves into extremely irrational behavior and rhetoric on both sides. I don't even know a fraction of what there is to know, and for those reasons I just want no part of it.
This graphic, however, couldn't be more spot on. It's not everyone, but a-holes like the one (and race has NOTHING to do with it) in this photo don't want justice or the truth. They want justification to act out the barbarian inside them that has been itching to get out.
Spot on!
Amen.
Same thing in every so called “race riot”...Easy way to get a 24 inch HD tv!
This graphic couldn’t be more spot on.
BTTT
Power to the People!...NOT!
Nice try, but unless you are going to be honest, why bother commenting. How many white people were caught on camera looting? [crickets]
I tried looting in my rural neighborhood and all I got was rabies from sticking my arm in a raccoon’s den.

I think that Spoon was trying to say that it is not necessarily racially motivated but actually a cultural divide.....or that the ‘riots’ were inspired by external, communist groups.

Re: comment # 12: In addition, most of the troublemaking, pot-stirrers were white.
. I guess I associate culture to the people that practice it. The culture of radical muslims is to kill non-believers. The culture of the Amish is to practice a strictly religious life style, where community service is the rule, not the exception. What is the culture of inner city blacks?
Nothing like Colt 45 Malt liquor to make them forget their pain...
You just hit on what my intended point was. Race alone doesn’t dictate behavior, culture does. The preponderance of a certain race or ethnicity in a culture is more a matter of circumstance. I don’t think an Anglo Muslim (for instance) who takes up jihad would behave any differently than the Arab Muslims who do.
Always?
Your graphic is illustrative of a point of view, but I think you should have withheld your disclaimer.
I don't think it takes a great deal of rationality to see the two sides telling a story here, and using a small amount of intellectual capability to determine that one side is a complete fabrication, and the other side is very plausibly true with evidence to back it up.
You do yourself and your thread a disservice with that disclaimer. Just my opinion here. I usually like the things you post, but I didn't really understand why you had to preface your thread with a comment like that one.
LOL OMG that there is funny!
They called it ..”Christmas Shopping”
Note all the “Hoodies” up.....favorite mask used to day to hide ones identity 24/7....just in case the mood strikes or opportunity presents itself.
These aren’t protests...these are riots.
