Yeah. That really changed things.
Yeah, probably a lot more than looting/destroying someones property that had nothing to do with the situation (in their own town no less). I mean how mentally short-handed do you have to be?

Keep chunking those spears, one day you'll make it to the moon.

Looting and rioting is a bigger deal than electing an R over a D. Affirmative action, coddling, firing people who say things that are "racist" even if they're true, and constantly walking on ice is the result of the very people/mentality that are rioting. We will still commit ridiculous acts of discrimination against whites and asians just to give black special treatment. That won't change just because we elected some R's. In fact, it probably keeps getting more looney over time.

Oh I know. Both are a crock of shite. In hindsight I misinterpreted your post.

I agree, political correctness is a joke, but that's really not a big issue. Unless you work in a Federal job, the employer will protect you in such a case (given that you're an asset).
On another note, I look very white, but actually have enough Native American in my bloodline to be classified as more of a minority than 98% of people in the U.S. I won't play the card unless forced, and if the day comes that I'm outed as a "privileged white guy", I'll kindly produce a tribal ID card.

It's lip service in most cases. I haven't faced a situation where I was discriminated against because of my race. Laws are on the books, but at the end of the day employers almost always find a way to hire the most qualified.

I agree. Like I said, both R's and D's are a detriment to society overall. "Progress" has actually been regression in most cases.

I see what you did there!

I can get you to the finish line the liberal way.
Republicans do in fact destroy towns by moving away once they feel the town no longer represents their interests. One needs only to look at places like Detroit and Memphis to see the migration.

No they have Wall Street to loot and destroy places.

If Wall Street is all republicans, then why did they donate so much money to Obama? Why are there so many former Goldman-Sachs employees in his administration?

I think the only people to destroy any property in that scenario was the government. Also, I don't remember a riot taking place.

Refusing to replace their divots on the bold course is how white people protest.
The types of protests that are seen in cases,like these are the acts of people who see themselves as having no voice and nothing left to lose. Once upon a time it was common on this country for poor white folks to riot and cause mayhem. The labor movement is full of,instances where this was the case. Most of the GOP and libertarians are at least middle class so they have a little bit to lose and their perceived lot in life is not as desperate .
Of course there have been instances where the right has thrown a hissy fit...invading Iraq, for instance. Oklahoma City for another. Lynchings....all of these are instances of those on the right throwing a fit when things don't go their way.

So if Michael Brown had drawn down on Wilson that would have been ok. Got it.

This, but had cooler heads not prevailed, this really could have gotten very bloody very fast. It would have ben very similar to Bacon's Rebellion, the Wiskey Rebellion, Rout of the Bonus Army, ect. It could have really sparked some serious unrest all over the country and potentially exploded into a serious civil unrest movement.

They've been known to blow up buildings in Oklahoma City.

Obama sold out his base for the Wall Street dollar. I have said this for years but nobody seems to hear. He is a tool of the Goldman Sachs boys. Those who say he is on the left are nuts.
We have no gun control, no Universal health Care and Wall Street still runs things.
