re: It's going down in Baltimore

I want to know wtf all the destruction accomplished, looks to me like it just caused some hard working small business people to lose all they had and probably never reopen in that area. In 6 months y'all are going to be hearing about lack of basic needs being met because there are no stores in the neighborhood. Of course it'll be laid at racist America's feet and not where it should be laid at the communities doorstep because nobody wants to lose everything they worked for just because some dumbass thugs get mad and do stupid shite.

I beleive you have just answered your own question.

Can someone give me a quick summary at what all this rioting is about? I always live under a rock when it comes to the news and last night is the first I've heard about this.

Exactly what is wrong with this country. It's 2015 and not 1962. Get over it.

whoever wrote that blames ancient history, slavery, and white people for black people calling other blacks thugs. I'm glad it at least made sense in their own head when they typed that out. It's like the writer got drunk, watched Braveheart for the first time, and took off to the internet.

Exactly. Look at Africa.
Lots of education and civility going on there.
Its a veritable utopia right?

Unarmed blacks have been killed by police at an alarming rate and people act as if there will be no civil unrest.
What the frick is this shite?
Blacks are being killed by cops at comparable rates as whites, it is higher but not by a huge margin.
And that is without any corrective magic based off of the higher incidence of violent crimes with blacks.
And this rate has been in a steep decline over the past several decades.
And in terms of absolute numbers, nearly twice as many whites are killed by cops than blacks.

Anything new?

There's not really any argument as to the history behind slavery but I don't see how that rant belongs with an argument for blacks calling each other thug

KAMPALA, Uganda — Apologies for the African slave trade should come from the chiefs who sold their people and not from U.S. President Bill Clinton during his tour of the continent, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni said yesterday.
quote:
Saying ``black traitors'' were more to blame than European slavers, Museveni rejected the view of some African-Americans that Clinton should publicly atone for a traffic which forcibly took millions of Africans to America in the 17th and 18th centuries.
quote:
`I don't have time for that diversion or rubbish,'' he said in an interview
quote:
``African chiefs were the ones waging war on each other and capturing their own people and selling them. If anyone should apologize, it should be the African chiefs. We still have those traitors here even today,'' Museveni said.

Thinks are only going to get worse.
The Baltimore Mayor is on TV this morning saying that the city still hasn't been able to rebuild since the riots in the 1960's.
WTF?
The gangs are teaming up to fight the cops.
It is inevitable that this riot spreads to other cities.

Hopefully a recall petition is started as soon as the dust settles. Her and Kathleen Blanco are poster children for poor crisis leadership.

Obama needs to get out in front of this. Beer summit style.

I feel like I've watched an 8 hr episode of "The Wire". Even the current political figures in Baltimore remind me of characters from the show.
