I don't understand destruction of public property.

I have no idea what this means. I never said they were- was this meant to be directed at someone else?

 

No, you're the right poster. Let's review for a moment what you said.

And this of course.


Much of the rioting is being done by white kids. So after a lengthy diatribe where you ask us to understand the trauma of the disenfranchised, why is so much rioting being committed by white kids? Aren't they privileged or something?

 

Ahh, I see. I addressed this is another thread. I'll quote myself:

I'll also add to this, that there are few other scenarios that I've seen. I know of some peaceful protesters here in Columbus that were on the sidewalk peaceful protesting. To move them, police lobbed tear gas and mace them. They weren't violent until the police initiated aggression.

Also, some of these young white kids are just fed up- they have African American friends and have seen it first hand. They want to fight for them and this is the only way they know how.

So there are lots of reasons, but most of it stem from the core reason given. If we as a society don't address the root casue instead of making excuses and avoiding it like @TheImmortal does then it it will just continue to fester. The next time will be much worse, just like this time was worse than the last.

And this of course.

If that is so then why attack conservatives when it was Democrats that enslaved people on the plantations in the 18th and 19th century and the entitlements plantation of the 20th and 21st. Regarding the latter, blacks lost so much more than their dignity. The welfare state deprived them of self sufficiency and self determination. If entitlements were gone tomorrow many blacks would be as unprepared as freed slaves after the emancipation.

 

So white kids are "fed up" so, literally any reason to riot is OK.

Well that's pretty much what I expected.

 

Except, that's literally just a very small part of what I said, but okay...

 

What entitlements are you referring to?

You mean social security?

 

around one or two.

 

The welfare state is the Plantation. There's no whips only hopelessness and their Democrat masters tell them it's the white man's fault.

 

With misery and poverty for all:

 

50% of those on welfare are white...

 

Sucks man but you grew up anyway. Some don't.

 

Poverty has no color but being poor and uneducated makes one susceptible political manipulation. The Democrats paint all white conservatives as racist and therefore the root of all the welfare recipient's problems.

 

Which is of course a ludicrous proposition on it's face. As is the proposition that the Democratic Party which gets most of its money from the fortune 100, is a friend of the working man.

 

Whites make up nearly 65% of the population. Making them underrepresented in welfare.

Care to take a guess if blacks are over or underrepresented?

 

Sure, though note that rationalise doesn't mean justify.

Individual motives and reasoning, conscious and subconscious, will vary but I think rioting is generally an emotional outburst in response to a lack of power (perceived or actual). Using physical strength to smash or burn stuff is the only simple and immediate expression of power they have available and so becomes the outlet of that frustration.

I'd suggests we all experience the same kind of thing, angrily lashing out at nothing in particular when some machine doesn't work or we lose a game (especially unfairly).

I certainly don't think there is typically any kind of longer term thinking about the cost or impact of the damage, regardless if that is something the people doing it would (or might think they would) want.

 

All minorities are over represented. By the way the negative pathologies created by the welfare state affect all races badly.

 

Interesting that you think that $404 (the average for most welfare receipients) per month makes these people feel hopeless. I agree.

The rest sounds like your prejudices on display.

 

Soooo, you can read minds now hmmm. Since you seem to know all what is my race, nationality, political party, my faith and my age and gender??????

 

No, I am reading YOUR WORDS....that is all.

 

No, you are interpreting my words to mean whatever you want them to mean.

 

These are your words, right?

How can anyone confuse the overt racist imagery you are projecting here to mean anything but?

 

Like????

 

Sorry, I don't play that game.

 

No, your game is verbal flim flam via, innuendo, insinuation, imputation, allusion, aspersion and intimidation, all of the tools in the liberal's mumbo jumbo tool box. You should work for CNN or MSNBC.
