The dirty secret (and not a little one) is that most Americans don’t give a s**t about what happens in the ghetto, as long as the people who live there keep their violence to themselves.

A small related problem is that many Americans don't realize that since the early 90's, the ghetto has moved to them, through the use of Section 8 housing vouchers, which allowed people to move from housing projects to apartment buildings in more middle-class areas. This was done to help get poor families out of crime-ridden areas, but, not surprisingly, the crime came right along with them.

People may be surprised to see exactly where rioting occurs this time.

“I anticipate that most black Americans will believe that an Obama defeat will have stemmed in substantial part from a prejudice that robbed 40 million Americans of the chance to become president on the day they were born black.”

Right, the answer is always racism, there is no other possible answer. (rolling eyes)

It will be interesting to see a section 8 plot overlayed with any riot sites if they happen.
