Why do these riots always seem to happen out west or up north?

I know damn well police brutality happens down south. But it seems the situations don’t blow up nearly as much down south. Not saying they don’t happen, but they definitely don’t happen as frequently.

They happened right down the street 4 years ago.

True, but by and large the OP's point is correct.

The race relations in most of these northern cities aren't nearly as good as those states would like for us evil southerners to think.

I’m aware of Alton Sterling. And as I said I know it happens down south, just not as frequently as out west or up north.

Black people have businesses and business interests and jobs and homes in Georgia. They have a vested interest in avoiding destruction and chaos. Even our corrupt politicians work pretty hard to reign in BLM stuff.
We have the biggest black middle class of anywhere on the planet. Nobody in Atlanta goes a day without interacting with black people.
It's why it's so hilarious when people from the Northeast or California lecture us on diversity or racial matters.

THIS. The communities up there are completely segregated.

The most racist people I've ever met lived in Pittsburgh and Denver.

It happened in Louisiana the summer before the 2016 election. Baton Rouge was the media's sacrificial lamb that time.
Looks like Minneapolis is the sacrificial lamb this time for the latest media/globalist wedge issue.

Atlanta is a regular rioter going back to 1906.

Growing up in the south and having lived in a couple different regions of the country, in my experience, the Midwest is still pretty damn segregated.
Per capita, more black people live in the south and we all grew up together generally speaking. Up there, private schools are a big thing (kinda like LA. Private schools are a very small part of life in AL). The neeighborhoods of a town are very segregated. So there are people there who don't have interactions with a different race on a daily basis until they go to college or join the workforce. It always makes me chuckle when the coastal people and the people in the Midwest point at the south as this beacon of racism when they've lived in their white bubble the majority of their lives. There are racist people everywhere but the myth of institutional racism and white supremacy is a boogeyman made up by folks who are professional victims or people who haven't ventured outside of their gated community much.

again are you sure?
Missouri is the South
South Carolina is the South
Louisiana is the South
Florida is the South
Texas is the South
what race riots am I missing that makes it happen so much more in the west and north?

What happened 4 years ago was fricking child’s play compared to Ferguson or Baltimore.

I'm trying to think of businesses that were destroyed like target or burned down like AutoZone...... It was crazy riding around BR for a few days because of the amount of people but not sure I remember the looting and destruction.

Missouri is not the south. Don’t give a frick if they’re in the SEC either.
