I listened to black urban radio this morning, and one caller seriously suggested—and was taken seriously—when she said she thought the looters and arsonist were paid agents sent in by some Dark Authority to make black people look bad!!! (Always the Victim)
Well, it worked.
I would say there could be an element in truth in that the Left leadership which is predominantly White, focused on this as a set up and manipulated events and had agent provocateurs in place to bring about chaos.
