This is the only thing that matters.

Agreed. Everyone in America should stop talking about the riots and start talking about what caused them. But there are reasons why they don't want it that way.

@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.

I agree 100%

New York City draft riots of 1863

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City_draft_riots

The New York City draft riots (July 13–16, 1863), known at the time as Draft Week,[2] were violent disturbances in New York City that were the culmination of working-class discontent with new laws passed by Congress that year to draft men to fight in the ongoing American Civil War. The riots remain the largest civil and racial insurrection in American history, aside from the Civil War itself.[3]

What caused them? Do you know or do you just assume?

He's white. Don't even bother.

What caused them?

Police brutality.

That wasn't their tea though. 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.

actually it was their tea, america was not independent, those men still viewed themselves as british, this is one of the events which lead those british men (now americans) to break away from their country.

Colonists objected to the Tea Act because they believed that it violated their rights as Englishmen to "No taxation without representation,"

thats the tea they were supposed to sell/consume, and the tea tax goes back to england. east india tea company, was also a private company, and not controlled by the british monarchy, it was just a bunch of wealthy aristocrats, but the rebellion forced the british govt to respond. so yea that was actually a great analogy.

self incriminate yourself brehs.

I suppose they should of turned the other cheek and apologized and prayed for his soul? Like good docile subservient negros that wants a butter biscuit and chitlins.

fukk that! That's what black people NEED TO BE ON! Cac better be happy he aint floating down inner harbor with two slugs in his back for that shyt.

Police brutality.

Is that fact or an assumption?

 

[Ego Noir]

That is a great photo.

Somebody post that photo of that breh with the flaming cop car behind him.

I would blow that photo up and have it framed in my living room if I was breh.

I saw that photo but breh got paper towels and bags in his hand thats not a pretty picture

So you don't think those "wealthy aristocrats" had ties to the monarchy? All the semantics aside my point stands. They had a problem with the tea tax so they attacked the source. If the tea was destroyed then neither the company nor England could benefit. It's not like they had an issue with the tea tax then went and destroyed a French Coffee ship.
