I was born in 1950, and very well remember the riots of the 1960’s. Watched on tv and read everything I could about them.
IMHO, those riots were at least as important as anything in the election of Nixon in 1968. Remember his “law and order” campaign theme?
And what's fascinating is that even in 1968 black leaders called "law and order" CODE WORDS for "racism".
Just like during the 2012 presidential campaign calling Obama a failure was a "dog whistle" that only "racists" can hear.
What's the deal with average, working, normal black people that they would OPPOSE "law and order"?
They can't possibly like living in a crime ridden neighborhood.
