Police kill more whites than blacks, but minority deaths generate more outrage


Quote:Where did I say slavery has nothing to do with it?  I said that it doesn't have much to do with slavery.

It doesn't matter that a minority of blacks owned slaves.  It doesn't matter that Africans enslaved Europeans either.  Not every white person owned slaves.  That doesn't excuse the treatment of black people during the years leading up to the civil rights movement.    And it doesn't excuse racism today.

 

Who's excusing the riots?  Please go ahead and show me.  It seems that it's not enough to say that they're criminals for some people. 
There is a fringe group going along the lines of "this is the kind of thing that happens when people feel beaten down and ignored etc.." I believe it's just a fringe group. Most rational people realize there is no excuse for wrecking your city.
