Funny how we in this nation keep hearing all these people say "we don't riot to fix problems"...
Folks, we taught the world to riot. We taught the French to revolt. America IS the riot capital of the world, or at least one of the Father's of riots. We rioted over Tea. We rioted over forced service in the Civil War, or the Draft as it was called. America burned during the summers from 1964 to 1969 from Watts to Detroit, from Alabama to Harlem. The Whiskey Rebellion.
Our own military has rioted and... marched Armed on Washington several times in history to get paid...
The Harlan Coal Wars were whites fighting whites in the late 60's and early 70's, and the Matewan WV wars were the same back in the 1920's.

Now, what is the REAL common thread? Those with power abusing those without. Whether black, white or indifferent... This is no longer about race, it is about power:
