Ok then, were the riots in Lansing a couple of years back "race riots"? What about the ones in Seattle and in San Fransisco? Or is it only a race riot when the participants are mostly black rather then mostly white?
I am trying to get people to stop swallowing the race baiting kool-aid served up by the MSM. But sadly it seems some here are gulping it down and holding out their cups for more.
That is what happened in NO, and that is what happened in LA.
If you have some evidence that mobs of "white folks" were at some time stealing clothing, TVs and booze. Burning down buildings,raping children and murdering people in a drug addicted haze and threatening to kill rescue workers trying to save people of their own skin color- at any period in history- please show me so I can condemn that and call that a race riot.
Now it is YOUR assumption that the terminology "race riots" means all "black folks are doing it", not mine. I never said anything close to that.
If you are trying to tell me that the majority of people rioting in NO were NOT dark skinned welfare recipients go ahead.
You may imply that I am a bigot for refusing to grant criminals sensitivity in riots - do it all you want- but I'm not a bigot- You can say it-and other websites , the one who hates freerepublic and revels in this thread, can go all giddy talking about what a bigot I am and we are at Freerepublic- but I am not- so nothing you or anyone says is going to make me feel bad about it or change my opinion of the situation.
I do,however, feel a certain responsibility for what has happened in NO- I was a social worker and I went to school for four years to learn how to perpetuate a welfare system and worked in a profession that has trashed our country more than anything else in history.
I even worked with some folks from Compton getting them easy work so they could get their checks, and who killed a "white" guy during the riots.
Why? Because he was white. I Have the blood stained memories still.
I am sorry about my involvement with trying to get Jesse Jackson elected and working for a very liberal-Democrat Congressman and now I see the damage. Welfare has ruined people's lives not the color of their skin- not the amount of pigmentation they have- not the country their ancestors came from.
So I feel pretty sensitive about what is going on with this myself-, so if someone says ...all those social workers and liberals ruined this country-look what they have done to the people of NO , look at what liberal idiots they are- I would know it was true.
The difference is I am not crying victim- I would rather spend my time trying to fix it.
