“I think someone was feeding you a line. “

His English was STILL pretty bad. Acceptable, but not great.

Let them burn. I’d be more than happy to have all those Koreans,South Asians, Africans, and Caribbeans move their businesses here.

The biggest threat to democracy is pseudo-victims blaming everyone else for their problems when they are the ones at fault.

Okay Tavis, as long as you keep it your own urban cities, make it the norm as if it hasn't been since the 60's. Once your "protestors" spread out into peaceful suburbs (including black and others) with torches and molotov cocktails in hand, you're right to "protest/riot" is super-ceded by my right to live.

I see a group of militant blacks (or any other race) coming down my quite law-abiding cul-de-sac with obvious intent to destroy our home, ALL bets are off.

Contrary to the Black Panthers advocating such, you know damn well "your people" will just continue to destroy their own nest. Have at and turn ex-tolerant white folks like me against you. You and your Bros are doing an excellent job of it. Come on down to Orange County, CA. The the decent hard-working whites, blacks, hispanics, asians (remember the Koreans in the LA riots) won't allow you to destroy our homes and communities. Give it your best shot - bet we're better shots.

Perhaps this rocket surgeon missed it but they have been the new normal a while now.

True protests are peaceful, unless police act violently against them.
Riots are always violent.
Riots are not protests, though rioters may join protestors to gain cover for their identities.

Middle to Upper Class African Americans might think so, but the true pipe hitting gangsta knows that this will all end soon. All this unrest is going to hurt business. A lot more green to be made selling smack than looting CVS’. The guys in the neighborhoods with the most guns are going to decide how far this will go.

To add, ask Hubert Humphrey how all this urban unrest worked out for him. The white Obama voter might be releasing their law and order inner selves. Nixon, Tan, Rested, and Ready.

Return to “looters shot on sight” and the entire movement goes silent.

This is how charity always ends.
They end up living out of your pocket and hating you for taking away their self respect.

"I met plenty of Iranians (they called themselves Persians) when they came to CA and they all spoke perfect English.

I have engaged Persians for years when the wife and I go out to restaurants, bars, hotels. I've never met one that wasn't personable, polite, open to discussion, and absolutely hate what the mullahs have done to their County. And no, I'm sure they weren't BSing me.

I ask the right questions for an intellectual or emotional response and have always gotten the same answer - screw the mullahs and their totalitarian control. What a waste we had a Resident that wouldn't support their grass-roots uprising some years back.

Only among blacks. No rioting by other minorities. Jackson, Sharpton and the Democrats forgot to tell Hispanics and orientals that they should simply be subservient and live off the generous liberal welfare checks.

Oh, cul-de-sac. I like that. Cross-fire, “box canyon.” The perfect trap. Cut off their retreat and it’s all over.

Sounds like Tavis Smiley wants to fight. Bet your bottom dollar that the commie coward would run at the slightest hint of a fight. He wants other people to fight his battles while he watches from underneath a rock. Typical leftist worm.
