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

And I can post pictures from Charlotte and elsewhere. All you're proving is that riots happen out west. I never denied that. I'm asking you to prove that they happen out west more often than in the south as the OP claims.

Pittsburgh not so much. 15 mins outside the city is full on hatred of blacks.

It's weird, race relations seem better here in the South as far as daily interaction and getting along in general than anywhere else in the country. But on the flip side those other areas of the country seem to be the ones where most of the Blexit wave is happening and here in the South you have more black people that tow the Democratic Party line without question.

Everyone just go read the article by Will Sutton in the BR advocate today.... he is bryond hope and is a blatant racist. Where was his article when that black guy shot at two white cops(killing one).
Nowhere.......... unless he was too busy preaching to his race to quit breaking the law.... but I doubt he was doing that.

Perhaps you need to learn the difference between a riot and a protest

From his article:
quote:
What happened earlier this week in Minneapolis reminded me of the July 5, 2016, shooting of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, a black man selling CDs, at 2112 N. Foster Drive, outside the Triple S Food Mart convince store. Police had him on the ground. He was shot. He died.
He thinks these incidents are one in the same. They aren't even close. The MN incident is bad. Really bad. The Steeling incident...not so much.This post was edited on 5/28/20 at 12:31 pm

Remember when the cops killed a child sex predator who was illegally selling stolen CDs and concealed carrying an illegal weapon and people shouted no justice no peace?

Lots of people confusing mostly peaceful protests with all out riots.

Same here. Was working in a different area of PN a few years ago and several of the locals I worked with made it very clear how they felt about blacks and loved to use the "N" word.

Western Pennsylvania used to be a KKK stronghold. I've know more than a few people from the Pittsburgh area that would attest to it.

IIRC There were protests after Sterling but not riots.
Don’t remember any looting or burned buildings.
The State Police coordination of law enforcement during that time was spot on and prevented things from getting out of hand.
Many arrests early set the tone and stopped bad things from happening.
Now charges were dropped later on but law enforcement accomplished the goal of stopping the violence from starting.

I don't remember the Alton Sterling riots breaking/looting anything - But I do remember BRPD and LSP were arresting protesters for just about anything which I think clamped down on that shite.
Compare this with the approach of Baltimore and Minneapolis where it seems like the police are told to stand down.

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.
As you reference in your comment, it may be that the racism itself is focused in small enclaves. There is no big racist conspiracy, but certain areas in this country are more anti-miniority than others. But in a country as large as the United States, it's relatively small.

Nah, it's because southerners are more laid back.
