Our author invokes a sense of history that simply is not in the heads of anyone involved, and if he doubts that, he need only ask them. Dude - they were after free TVs. And they didn't mind if they took them from black merchants. The Hate The White People narrative is nothing but window dressing.
Let us free ourselves from this "Africa was looted" meme - the people doing the rioting are citizens of the greatest, freest country in history, are dressed better than medieval royalty, have never known starvation, disease, and misery, and are safely nurtured by the very society they're doing their best to curse, burn, and loot. They are scum. There is no excuse in righteous anger against oppression because in any honest historical perspective, they are not oppressed.
Heh heh — I hear you. It’s a really good read. I think you’ll like it.
