That wasn't their tea though. :mjlol: It belonged to the East India Tea Company, a crown corporation. They took over the ships, destroyed the tea and burned a few ships over a silly tea tax. They took it directly to the source. They didn't go and fukk up a local shop. If CVS was in control of the police force by all means destroy which ever one is in your path. But since they don't but you want to destroy a business anyway, go fukk up one downtown where it won't affect your community. Let some white people be inconvenienced and have to clean up some shyt for once. I don't get why you all are okay with none of these displays of destruction never making it out of the predominantly black areas. It's almost as if you're offended that people wonder why no one is getting at these fukking cacs or government/police institutions.

It's mostly white people saying, "how does rioting and looting get their point across?". For the purpose of that post, I attribute that point to them.

Okay. The only issue I have with the radical response are the areas targeted. Take the shyt to the source and now we're getting somewhere. Right now cops are just standing around like :beli: collecting overtime while people throw and break shyt other members of the community will be cleaning up tomorrow.

Riots aren't coherent breh. These people aren't using logic while they destroy shyt, they're just pissed off.

Ideally, there wouldn't be any riot. Ideally, both the media and the black community would acknowledge peaceful protest. Ideally, police wouldn't use excessive force against black people with impunity.

Riots are bad. But look at what whites are saying about them, they are scared. They are shook up. Maybe these riots will lead to a good thing, that's why I "support" them.

This is the only thing that matters. But it seems like this is a trend that won't reverse itself. As for the rioting, as long as it remains in these tiny pockets of black communities it won't do any good in the long run. It just gives cops overtime and cacs something to :lupe: at. They are frightened of it like they are scared of a horror movie. It gives an entertaining shiver of a chill to think about the possibilities but history has shown they have little to fear unless they actually drive into the belly of the beast. Riots are just more fun to look at. They move the political needle as much as prayer and protest.

@Ego Noir what I meant earlier is this; the church is still stuck in turn the other cheek mode. They seem to forget that the civil rights era pastors were tooled up themselves and preached self defense. Even Jesus went in on the money changers in the temple. The political "leaders" are too busy being politically correct. They want to tip toe around the issues to salvage relationships they may need down the line for their own selfish interests. The radical element wants revolution but won't take that anger and frustration beyond a few block of their own neighborhoods. They may not own it, but they are the only ones truly affected by the destruction because they live in that area and patronize those businesses for better or worse. Every element of the movement is docile and complacent in it's own right, unable to, but more so unwilling to, move beyond a certain comfort level. Combine that with the fact that these three elements never seem to be on the same page or working together also hinders any progress.

You're really not, so cut the bullshyt. One minute the media is all propoganda to brainwash blacks or whatever, now it's all factual? You know all this stuck could be suppresessed right? So why all the coverage? Whats the angle? Ahh, perhaps to make you act life savages? And right on cue.....

nikkas is feed up, huh? Fed up with what exactly? Living with laws?
There's a fine line between valid criticism and c00ning......and you crossed that line.
