I'll admit that this is the first I have ever heard of the event. I can't imagine that Wisconsin is a place where people can pull themselves up by the bootstraps. The 1991 Los Angeles riot was also racially motivated but it doesn't make one a right wing racist to share a link. I'm glad you didn't shoot anyone also.

Would you care to explore the possibility that there is a persistent problem of black youth feeling as though society offers no legitimate opportunities to make their lives better? In LA there was a pattern of gentrification that pushed black people into certain areas and institutional racism kept a barrier around this demographic. Police routinely abused the so called civil rights of blacks and it is now obvious in hindsight that cocaine was allowed to flood the streets while the law clearly discriminated between the freebase and rock forms and the powder form which was perceived as more classy.

I'm not trying to absolve individual criminals but it is good to look at the bigger picture.
This was nothing but a hate, racist driven event. I also would like to point out that NOT ONE SINGLE white person fought back or threw even a single punch.Thousands of white people just stood there in shock and disbelief. Not a single bullet fired from a crowd of people who are from an area where exercising their right to conceal and carry is as common as having a wallet in your back pocket. No riots. NOTHING. Does it make me a racist for feeling proud of how my own race handled this? Can or should something like this be justified or condoned for any reason? Regardless of skin color?

That is not what makes you racist. What makes you racist is your "pride in your race" which is arbitrary. You didn't choose to be white. It is compounded by your refusal to consider the bigger societal picture which created a crowd of pissed off black youth.

So black youth can't control themselves because of slavery? GTFO with racist drivel. A gang of white thugs or a gang of black thugs can do damage. You want to make excuses for one skin color. Well done buck,

I have an idea, let's treat every one equally, stop excusing criminal behavior and let's move this society forward. Fuck the racicist apologists and fuck racist judicial system.

Or we can make laws based on race and perpetuate the problem. Out history is just littered with shitty laws based on color, can we please stop?

i know you're too wrapped up in your white privilege to even consider this take on things, but wouldn't you be a little pissed off if you were literally eight times more likely to be arrested for your pot use simply because of your skin color?

last night, you said that going to prison for a few more years solely because of your skin color only played a "small role" in things, but wouldn't you be a little pissed off if you knew that you might go to prison for a few more years solely because of your skin color?

what if you couldn't drive a car in public without being more likely to be pulled over, searched, and arrested solely due to the color of your skin? would that not piss you off?

what if you had to send out twice as many resumes to get a call back just because of your skin color? would that piss you off a little?

you're more ignorant then you are racist, but that doesn't mean you are not racist.

Yes, everything you say is true, I'm not sure what it has to do with the fact people think black youth can't control themselves and it's not their fault.

The history of racism in this country is disgusting. So we pass a healthcare law that forces physicians to focus on race or you get less reimbursement. Big step backward wouldn't you say?

i'm pretty sure they can control themselves but sometimes rebel. kids tend to do that sort of thing, especially when they (correctly) view their situation as unfairly starting from behind the line simply because of their skin color and our nation's history.

It is bigoted to deny this.

when i was a kid, i had temper tantrums if i thought i was being treated unfairly. so did all my friends.

i don't want to know a kid who doesn't rebel or get upset when they are being treated unfairly.

not because "Mom" is 16 years older than him, un-married, beat him as a baby, wears a magenta coon-skin cap made from Indian peoples hair, is illiterate, screams as a form of communication...............

Racist as fuck. There are people like that of every ethnicity and mix thereof. There are also people who are nothing like that of every ethnicity and mix thereof. Your indictment of a particular demographic is extremely racist and bigoted. Don't wonder why you are called racist from now on.
