It’s really not racism; the blacks aren’t attacking because they happen to be black. It’s really cultural (ie ethnocentricity) in nature. And it’s the culture, not race, that’s at issue. That's a valid point.
Nonetheless, the race/ethnic component must be addressed, whether or not the language of the discussion can be changed to more represent the truth.
I don't think it can, because the left always cows everyone else by setting the terms of the debate. And being the only one to define those terms. I don't believe anyone will attempt to stop the left from defining the terms of the debate. Hence, it will continue to be racism. Which it is in many cases.
More, from the Louisville Courier-Journal
It seems that the Saturday riot was only the latest in a string of possibly/probably related incidents stretching back to March 18th. This strikes me as key:
Mitchell said the department immediately added additional personnel to the West Broadway corridor after TARC notified it of the two March 18 attacks.
My read on this is that the thugs were basically driven out of the West End and to the Waterfront by the stepped up police activity.
Additionally, I find it very ... amusing ... that the Courier Journal is suddenly working so hard to connect the dots on the prior incidents and starting to insinuate that there might be a police/government coverup. I'm sure it has absolutely NOTHING to do with how it was a bunch of their staffers' cars in their parking lot that got trashed as the mob moved across 5th and Broadway Saturday night (/SARC).
