Strange - they all seem to involve black people - or is it racist to notice?
You missed this:
The six-day LA riots became the most well-chronicled civil uprising in American history, and the largest and most violent since the New York Draft Riots of the mid-19th century.
I suppose those 1863 riots also involved Black people, but not as perpetrators.
The list is skewed by the fact that all these disturbances happened in the last 50 years -- most of them in one single year.
Go back further and things were different.
LOL - I checked out the part of my blood that’s Irish and this isn’t a big surprise. The Irish felt it was unfair ‘elites’ could buy their way out of being drafted... a perfectly reasonable position... (attacking blacks and riotin’ was NOT reasonable though... Irish thugs and all..)
Thanks for sharing x.

President Abraham Lincoln diverted several regiments of militia and volunteer troops from following up after the Battle of Gettysburg to control the city. The rioters were overwhelmingly working-class men, primarily ethnic Irish, resenting particularly that wealthier men, who could afford to pay a $300 (equivalent to $5,746 in 2015) commutation fee to hire a substitute, were spared from the draft.[4][5]
Initially intended to express anger at the draft, the protests turned into a race riot, with white rioters, mainly but not exclusively Irish immigrants,[3] attacking blacks wherever they could find them. The official death toll was listed at 119
Sounds right to me.

I enjoy Danny DeVito’s work. I hope he and Rhea Perlman have resolved their differences.
Oh yeah, they’re back together. He’s a leftist, but he is funny.

For heaven’s sake it’s racist to order black coffee.

No distractions, and great seats!
No kidding!
The only reasons to go to Baltimore is to see the Orioles’ game and to visit the fabulous seafood restaurants at the Inner Harbor and see the USS Constellation that is permanently docked there.

Thanks Mears - sometimes we need some levity in these stressful times.
