You are correct.
The issue is cultural. The feral black subculture has declared war on American civilization much like Mugabe declared war on the White Africans.
Like ISIS, the radical Islamic subculture, the feral black American subculture is bent on destroying that which is civilized.
A society without rules (call it a social contract if you will) is not a working society. Nor, is that ever to become one.
Having rules and following same is what makes a rabble into a 'culture'.
We here is the US currently have lots of rules, laws and yet we are seeing things breaking down almost completely in areas (inner city)
I would add that any culture (society) that a person resides in that openly accepts crime, rampart illegitimacy and drug dealing, for example, as a normal way of living, then that culture is past broken or dysfunctional.
That society is, in fact, engaged in constant, low order warfare against the larger, rule based participative society from which it is subtended. In this context, riots are just a spike in the ongoing and constant warfare with the larger whole.
So - to my earlier point - the 'breakdown' is less a rejection of the rules/laws and more like open warfare against the greater whole of the working parts of our Society.....
How long would the 'inner-city' and their related absolute dependency on others outside of the area, last without massive tax spending for water, sewer, electric and food/water or housing?
I dare say the shelf life of those areas would be measured in hours. Witness: New Orleans before the hurricane...
I am not a heartless bastard, BTW, just an observer of the obvious.
