The American Revolution was fought for freedom from government tyranny, not about race.

That was a different revolt. The blacks were fighting the tyranny of the Jim Crow laws. Everyone should have used restraint back then. Including the people that were lynching blacks.

You originally were complaining about the violence of the sixties. The point is that tyranny breeds violence--whether it was tyranny of the Crown or tyranny of other citizens.

I don't remember any tyranny in the 60's. There certainly was some revolting things going on in the South, but not elsewhere. I don't see that as a reason to riot and burn cities in the North and West. There is still too much hatred toward whites, which only causes resentment toward blacks. Not all of us are guilty, you know.
