There is always a pilot light waiting for nefarious characters to use to turn up the heat. It is the human condition.

What if you are mistaken in the belief in not fixing until a return of your deity. Remember the Lord helps those who help themselves...

If we lived in the world BLM would have you believe we are in, the average non-black american would see the Floyd video and publicly say, "That seemed totally appropriate to me. I mean, after all, he's a dirty Ni..."
But that is not what is happening. Quite the opposite. In fact, the closest responses I've seen to that is this: "We need to let all the information come out and let the courts do their job." In a country governed by laws, that truly IS the high road response.
So, my response to the whole rioting/protesting thing is that they are the little kid laying on the floor kicking and screaming at the checkout stand because mommy won't buy them a candy bar. That is, they need to grow up.
The good news is that most of them are under 25 and they WILL grow up like people tend to do. Most of them, anyway. |
What you might be missing is those who feel they have little to loose now just may have much to gain with protesting. Being little movement seemed to be happening up till now.
As to the election of President Obama. This my go down as the current rise of racism. As seen from the get with all the hate groups forming protests against him. Tea baggers as a start, birthers all were lightly veiled racist infused groups.
