Henry Keith Watson remembers April 29, 1992, as if it happened just last week. History won't allow him to forget it. It was a day that marked the beginning of one of the deadliest, most destructive race riots in the nation's history, and one in which Watson's spur-of-the-moment decision to take part made him one of the enduring faces of the violence...

As the liquor store at the intersection of Florence and Normandie was being looted and white passersby were fleeing a barrage of rocks and bottles, Denny stopped his big rig to avoid running over someone. He was quickly dragged from the cab and nearly beaten to death by Watson and a handful of others. As the attack unfolded on live TV, Watson stepped on Denny's head after Damian Williams smashed the trucker's skull in with a brick.

Will the Trayvon riots make the L.A. riot look like a Sunday school picnic? They will if $harpton, Jack$on and Obama have anything to say about it.

LA's black population has shriveled. If there's a repeat, there's a non-zero risk of Hispanic gangs conducting a massacre of blacks in their neighborhoods. I hope PD's across the nation are prepped for the unrest and hit the troublemakers hard and fast, because large scale casualties among innocents in the black community will become yet another reason why non-black community owes bajillions in monetary reparations.

The LA Riot was unexpected. People reacted to the verdict, but had not planned on it.

The Zimmerman acquittal is scheduled. A lot of people are looking forward to May 9 (and if not that day, then a few other planned days).

Whereas, back in the day of the LA riots, black neighborhoods were burned down, now Van Jones wants to “progress” to burn down White middle class neighborhoods.

It's about communist revolution. They want to bring down the System. Everyone around Obama is strongly linked to the movement. It's not only "reverend" Wright, Obama and the New Black Panthers that advocate communist "Black Liberation", 60-70s terror groups the Weather Underground, the original Black Panthers, the murderous Black Liberation Army (obviously) and the Symbionese Liberation Army (Patty Hearst) advocated it as well. Black Liberation "Theology" uses bogus religious movements concocted by communists to stir up anger in the Black community in order to set the stage for revolution. The so-called "Nation of Islam" is one such phony religious operation. Wright's "church", another.

Farrakhan views Obama and Mao as "Transformers"...

Louis Farrakhan, Santiago de Cuba, February, 1998:
"There is not a member of the black masses in the United States who is not proud of the example set by Cuba and its revolution, with Comandante Fidel at its head"

Unity generates power to change reality
By the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan

"The time has never been more ripe for a strategic relationship between the Black, Brown, Native American and the poor of this nation and the world."

"We need a Ministry of Defense. Our young men are born soldiers, but they are in the wrong war. They are fighting a war in the streets of America against each other, or they are fighting an unjust war overseas in Afghanistan and Iraq. We need to bring our boys home and put them into the Ministry of Defense, so we can defend our communities, rather than destroy our communities.

We need a Ministry of Art and Culture. We applaud the hip hop community, the leaders of young people all over the world, but I want the young generation of artists to know there is a bigger purpose for art and culture than popping our fingers and shaking our backsides.

Mao Tse Tung, throughout his long march to conquer China, had a billion people whose lives he had to transform. Many of them were victims of opium, drugs and prostitution, like we are. But Mao Tse Tung went to the cultural community and they accepted his idea. Then, through song, dance, poetry, drama, documentaries, movies and books, the idea of Mao Tse Tung became the idea of a billion people. China became a world power on the base of culture and the artistic community. If we had a Ministry of Art and Culture in every city, [we'd] create this movement [in the U.S.], we could say to our young people, “What is the idea of the Time and are you reflecting that idea in your songs, dance and music?

We need a Ministry of Trade and Commerce. Do you think that a Millions More Movement should not be involved in the development of Africa, the Caribbean and Central America? ... we need a Ministry of Trade and Commerce that can link the struggle here with Africa and the Caribbean, Central and South America.

Thanks for posting this.

Funny enough, a documentary on those riots narrated by Snoop Dogg puts the blame on hip hop music for being a major cause of the riots . . .

20 years after riots ripped through Los Angeles, UPRISING documents how hip hop forecasted—and some say ignited—the worst civil unrest of the 20^th century. The film revisits the riots in gripping detail and draws from a diverse collection of voices—the rappers, rioters, victims, police officers, journalists and everyday citizens of South Central Los Angeles. The documentary traces the rise of dissent in Los Angeles in the 80s and 90s and explores why citizens chose to rise up violently against police abuse and perceived injustices. …

Punishing the guilty is not “police abuse”. This was a rebellion against law and order that deserved a commensurate response and did not get it. It has not improved the standing of the so-called “black community” (more like “commune” thanks to leftist policies) but instead greatly increased the racial divide via lies, propaganda and senseless violence. This has sparked what Victor Davis Hanson has called “white counter-rage”—and if people like Holder think they can keep playing the race card to any advantage, their historical legacy may permanently paint them as the villains that brought America down for no reason at all.
