I will never understand why we are supposed to be understanding of rioting, just because the rioters are a certain ethnicity.

From the Watts riots of ‘65 on through today, liberals put forth excuse after excuse why the anger of blacks is understandable.

The Watts riots were triggered by an alleged act of police brutality. I believe the riots of ‘67 in Detroit were triggered for the same reason.

And all of the riots in many cities in 1968 were triggered by the death of Martin Luther King.

The Rodney King riots were triggered due to a verdict in a trial of police accused of brutality.

How do these protesters, allegedly protesting an unjust killing of a black young man, justify mayhem and looting to protest that action?

Why is it ok with liberals for blacks to have all this rage and express this rage in rioting? Not that liberals approve of rioting as such, but liberals make excuses for the rioting. Liberals will not condemn rioting as an absurd response to the events they allegedly are upset about.

Liberals only have a problem with Tea Party riots while these are to be embraced.

Because the truth is not to the liberal-media critters liking.

Looter-Kind live for these “our people are victimized” situations to happen as an excuse to steal. They same people will be out taking five-finger discounts in natural catastrophic events or power outages as well.

Criminals they are.

Liberals live to make totally inane, ridiculous excuses for the looters.

Sort of a symbiotic relationship, helping each other, in a very sick way

I think it's part of what's been aptly described as "the soft bigotry of low expectations".

In the minds of liberals, black people have been so damaged that can't be expected to behave or perform as well as white people. So in liberal-think, they can be excused for indulging in savage behavior on occasion.
