The nightly democrat riots are starting again now from sea to smoking sea.
I find it ironic that most of these riots are taking place in democrat-run cities. And that they're blaming it on systemic racism in these same cities. The same cities where democrats control local government and local police departments.
Especially ironic that democrat AG Keith Ellison was crying to Chris Wallace today about systemic racism in the Minneapolis police department where this all started. Hell, isn't he the chief law enforcement officer in Minnesota?
Appears most of this systemic racism, police brutality, race rioting, etc, is taking place in long-held democrat strongholds under direct democrat management.
It may be that change is indeed necessary.
The Left in America and Europe would be Scientology size if it weren’t for ignorant white women. They are their numbers. No arguing it, it’s just fact.
Because I replied to the wrong post. Guess Im reading too many threads. It was meant for #196. Oh well I dont want to get off track and waste more space.
everyone here should keep in mind that many of the
buildings being torched are owned by
rich absentee slumlords that are Democrats
Santa Monica is getting hit.

They also need to educate each other a little. For our Country to survive, we need brave men and women. Fear is pushed on everyone from all angles.

Good. When things have gotten violent, I have seen a lot more SJW whites in dark skinny jeans show up. This is the classic AntiFa outfit we have seen time and time again.
Consider what I'm about to say carefully before replying, lest it be misunderstood. This doesn't apply directly to you, but to all repliers.
There are two historic benchmarks in American history that define the baseline for what "race relations" ought to be. And, there are two disruptive events that define the opposition to these baseline benchmarks.
The two historic benchmark events are the Emancipation Proclamation and Brown v. Board of Education. The two disruptive events are the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln and the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King.
The problem is that, while race relations have continued to progress over the life of this country, the most recent benchmark to be measured against is now over 50 years old. The face of race relations today are either Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, the Congressional Black Caucus, or the NAACP, all born out of the death of Dr. King 50 years ago. Their justification as leaders are stuck in time, while society has continued to grow and adapt to everyday realities.
Today's protesters and rioters are under 30 years old.
A recent event is the election and administration of President Barack Obama. History has not yet determined whether this was a benchmark event or a disruptive event, but I lean towards the latter. In fact, I have a hard time calling it a disruptive event because I can't point to a recent racial benchmark event that it disrupts.
If there is a benchmark event that the Obama administration defines, it is either the turning point of the Democrat Party away from defending American Exceptionalism, or the support of the Islamic movement in the Middle East and Asia. In either case, it is not historic race relations but a new globalist paradigm that the Obama election sought to instill.
This leaves today's impressionable youth of all races adrift. As the Republican/Democrat rift now spreads across a nationalistic/globalist divide instead of competing internal group interests, where the battlefield is now "make America great again" or Paris Accords or Russian Reset or Arab Spring or Iran Deal or Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals from other countries, it's no wonder that the young adults of today don't have a commonly accepted baseline to define what "race relations" means to them in a way that fits into their short life experience.
What they do have is Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and whatever else feeds their instant gratification that fills the gap in their lives, because there are no longer any long term benchmark events to help them define a baseline to measure success and failure, progress and regress, growth and stagnation, authority and anarchy, law and lawlessness.
So the riots fill an immediate gratification and a rebellious streak that crosses racial divides. The problem is that the protesters are older people established in their communities who built their lives and their successes around the old baselines of race relations, while the rioters are younger people with no respect for any of it and just want to destroy things in the name of some ethereal idea of a globalist order they will never really become a part of. They are just as radicalized as Islamic extremists to destroy the status quo, motivated by fantasy view of a future that can never be.

What is this problem?
BREAKING NEWS:

As Kaitlin Bennett said in a recent video two days ago this was coming for 6 years since Ferguson. Something should have been done sooner.
Foam boy would have to rise up twelve levels to even qualify as a POS.

Hopefully she’s a member of ANTIFA.
Lovely gal. How does she pick her nose?
It was never really about that. It was an excuse to get free stuff.

(long time lurker, first time I’ve posted in a LONG time) My hometown of Louisville KY (Democrat state gov and mayor) called in National Guard yesterday, curfew in place last night and tonight..... not sure why the NG is there cause there’s still been protests (watching a live feed on WRDB local affiliate FB) Fri night was the worst so far, one church and multiple businesses had shattered glass. Many businesses have been looted. Awful graffiti everywhere (ACAB which stands for ‘All Cops are Bastards’, ‘f**k the police’, ‘the only good cop is a dead cop’, ‘all cops support white supremacy’) Sick and tired of it all.
KARE 11 is reporting that MPD and the national guard have shown up at I35W and Washington Ave with overwhelming force using teargas and pepper spray to clear the protestors from the interstate. Most of them have dispersed, and the remaining ones have been corralled into a large parking off just off the interstate.
The protestors are surrounded and cant escape at this point, and the police are using bullhorns to announce that everyone is under arrest.
