Five hundred years of continuous rape, murder, slavery etc isn't a media trend.  I say let the establishment eat it full in the face, it's been too many months, years, decades, centuries of this <banned word filter activated>.

I'm certain that's hyperbole BUT then I'm sure a black person would look at the Sikh situation with India, and wonder where the problem is. Unless you've lived it and seen the day-to-day experiences, it's very easy to dismiss certain subtle nuances. As much as a person can try to understand in an objective way, it's not as simple as analysing these things in a methodical way. I will say that innocents should never suffer. Bring the pain to power, not your fellow man.

This has been going on for decades, nothing seems to change. 

What begins as legitimate protests turns into looting and burning.

It stops being about the original problem and legitimate grievances and takes on another form.

It becomes more about creating anarchy and less about justice.

The looting and burning are traditional from segregation and ghettofication. The businesses are not owned by black people by and large in the ghetto, so they're targeted for a variety of reasons, need, reciprocity, vengeance, rage.  The businesses are seen as opportunistic or imperialistic. No amount of material damage changes the legitimacy of grievances. Really the fact it isn't a full on race war vs the white power system is a miracle and a mercy. 

The entirety of this government and a fair amount of racist cowardly citizens in this country have some real karam coming.

I have relatives in the USA during the 60's who have lived through the riots at that time.

The areas that were mixed became black only.

So it is a form of ethnic cleansing. 

The businesses that are looted are owned by a lot of other minorities. 

Even minorities begin to question.

Slippery slope. You're well on the road to justifying genocide. I don't care how angry a person is, take that rage out directly on the perpetrators and their institutions. Don't misplace that anger and violence on those who are unable to respond or who are too weak to do so. I cannot believe what I'm reading.

I wonder if GurjantGnostic is ANTIFA?

I have heard  from relatives that  the looting has affected Sacramento too

[MisterrSingh 3,608]

They killed one of their "own" for some free televisions. Apparently, it's not a problem because the old black guy was a business owner, and therefore was a tacit endorser of the oppressive, imperialist machine. /s

It's sad how black people are treated in America but this latest guy, Rodney King and Mark Duggan were scumbags, serial offenders, career criminals. They should not be mourned and their deaths should not trigger riots where innocent businesses are looted and destroyed. If the police killed Bindy Johal I would be happy, one less scumbag on the streets.

Black Americans and Carribeans have several advantages over other minorities, they speak English as a first language, have anglo names but are still overtaken by immigrant groups including Africans who have migrated to America and the UK.

Is having absent fathers due to racism? Without fathers, boys will always struggle with discipline. My father always kept me in check, it's easy for boys to run rings around their mothers. Black Americans and UK Carribeans have the highest amount of absent fathers and that is the root cause of their problems. If it keeps on being denied then they will never move forward.

Rap music and thug culture will not get you anywhere, it destroys societies. It's no coincidence that since rap music has become popular in Punjab that drug abuse and crass materialism has increased.

It doesn't matter who they are. Racially motivated extra judicial killing is just that. It's unconstitutional and a violation of human rights.  

Lynette Squeeky Fromme shot a president of the United States and was arrested.  Arrested and sentenced. Not strangled on camera for her skin color. These cops don't know who they're killing, if they have a record etc. And if they have a record?  Arrest them for breaking the law then as a civilized country does. 

Nobody is rioting for the latest victim, they're rioting for every victim.

Colin Kaepernik peacefully refused to stand for the american anthem, but rather kneel to honor the soldiers. World couldn't stand that either. I've yet to see a single type of protest that black folk use that the world doesn't find intolerable. 

Kaepernik now says ...

When civility leads to death, revolting is the only logical reaction.

Yes it's wrong and in no way am I condoning it.

When a racial group builds up a bad reputation in society then you will be treated in a certain way by other racial groups. Stereotypes exist for a reason, there is always some element of truth behind them. The police would not do this to a Chinese American because they would not consider him to be a threat based on averages.

It's all well and good saying that everyone should be treated as an individual but nearly all people are prejudiced in some way and that cannot be denied. The black americans need to get away from crime and build up their reputations and then such things would stop occurring and they would get more sympathy from other racial groups.

Irish gypsies have a bad reputation here in the UK and that is based on their high crime rates.

Black people have an excellent reputation in my community. Slavery wasn't a result of their "bad reputation". You're victim blaming bro.

Who's reputation is worse? Travelers or the british empire?
