that's only because white looters unfairly stereotype black looters as being dangerous and are too scared to go to the loot...boils down to racism
That isn't true. Because of the L.A. riots, Bradley Nowell finally got his own P.A... Where do you think he got that guitar that you're hearing today?

That being said, it would be ignorant to ignore the clear historical trends with this type of violence and to pretend it is not significantly more of an issue with certain cultures then others. That is really not undeniable. Doesn't mean 100%, doesn't mean 50+1, but it means a material enough amount that this happens over and over again.
Anytime there is a sports-related riot in places like West Virginia and Michigan State, what is the racial breakdown? Why does it happen over and over with no racial hand-wringing?
Or what about Penn State that I posted earlier? Throngs of "educated" white people tearing their own college community apart for the purposes of defending a pedophile-facilitator.
Funny how race is NEVER invoked in any of these circumstances.
Or what about your typical anti-WTO riots? Those are almost always pretty light on black people (see what I did there? :)?
See, when big groups of white folks come out to destructively defend scumbags (of a much worse potential nature than Mike Brown), nobody rushes to TD and asks "why do white people do xyz?".

Mostly white pieces of shite.

In scale and scope it is nothing remotely close to what we see in other areas. Ferguson is going onto Day 7.... what is the comparison?
Scale and scope my good man, scale and scope.

I like how you conveniently mention very white populated areas. Who else would be rioting?
FYI - WV has 3.6% black population
East Lansing has 7.0% black population
notsoHappy Valley has 5.5%
Riot participants are overwhelmingly from the local populace.

The Seattle riots (probably the worst overall since LA 1992) lasted for 4 days , with a state of emergency called & the National Guard brought in to restore order.
They are called the WTO "protests" not 'riots'(occasionally) .
There's your scale & scope.

OK...just like Ferguson is majority black. So what's the point then?
