Minneapolis Is The New Detroit Riots 1967

[TC Shuts Up]

Same kind of tactics. Burning buildings and businesses that are there to serve minorities. Putting "Soul Brother" signs in buildings, now they say "Minority Owned", to try to save what they've built. But still they burn and loot the minority businesses. The businesses won't be back. But if Detroit was more spontaneous, the events in this crisis have the appearance of a Reichstag Fire. What we should do is send these mobs to CHINA, who exported a virus over here which is causing a lot of the chaos resulting in this. One thing for sure, there is next to no truth in the alphabet networks covering this. Every situation, the overwhelmingly radical Democrat media, try to blame Trump, when he has tried his best to return jobs and opportunity to America. And it was working very well for minorities until CHINA did this to us.

Nope. Your idea that China “exporting” a virus over here as the cause of all “this” is cockamamy.

You completely disregard the systemic racism against African Americans that has diabolically infected this nation since its founding. Humans identifying other humans as unequal. As chained property. Forever separating black children from their parents. And in general discriminating against and denigrating an entire race of Americans.

When those oppressed over decades - their sadness smoldering into anger - finally realize that the oppressor will never stop - in this case - killing young black unarmed males unless they do something shocking and explosive - “this” happens.

Those who don’t learn the lessons of history are forced to repeat the class. Welcome to remedial summer school American racists. Including your leader, Donald Trump.

Virus my ass. If you are honest instead of dishonest you will identify and acknowledge systemic racism as the cause. Over hundreds of years. And - acknowledge Donald Trump as its carnival barker promoter - at every opportunity.

LL101 - there you go again - stating “screen glare wrote” at the head of your false equivalent missive - which I did NOT write.

Fortunately it’s part of your pattern of dishonesty - readily identifiable by all who read it here. Be they your supporter, or your detractors on this forum.

And we see you’re still reveling in your fantasy of OWNING persons. Ironic since we are dealing with an issue here that began in America - with OWNERS of persons.

To be clear - I’m not justifying violence as “OK.” I’m understanding WHY it is now inevitably happening.

There have been years and years and years of “articulating” why the systemic killing of unarmed African American males - many in cars or after being removed from cars - by police - must stop.

It has never stopped.

“Articulating” became useless. Sadness finally morphed into mass anger - with graphic video of yet another such death. The straw that broke this issue’s back. And now - this understandable desperate and inevitable human response from human beings.

Like our Revolutionary War. Like the mass street protests currently in Hong Kong. All over the history of the human race we rise up in revolt when we feel our lives threatened - and nothing else to address and stop the killing - in this case based on systemic racism - is effective.

Three key elements to a summer of national unrest #1 the political divide #2 the racial divide and #3 the Covid 19 quarantine, it will be an interesting summer.

Back in 1967, when Lyndon Johnson caused the riots with his War on People, not poverty, we had James Brown (Republican) and Motown (and its secretly Conservative founder, Berry Gordy) to calm us down and unite us. Within the next few years, things got better under Nixon. What Nixon was accused of is chicken feed compared to what the Obama administration and their backers and the Obama FBI has done to Trump, and still tries to do. The Democrats can't stand to see Freedom and the Private Sector in action, especially if Black people prosper, so they try to destroy Trump. After Nixon resigned, the world went way downhill under Carter. Because of those riots though, Detroit and those burned down businesses and neighboring ones, never came back. There was PEOPLE FLIGHT (White AND Black, not just White) out of Detroit. That's what will happen in Minneapolis, and any other city that chooses riots, to "settle the score".

And Lucky 615 - never forget #4 - the racist, self-centered, deny science, mentally ill leadershit of president Donald Trump.

Almost all of these cases are much more complex than what videos show. Black leaders themselves have told people not to resist arrest and not to fight with the officers, or even pretend to go for a gun. Let's see what the Minneapolis Police have before we rush to judgement. It's also strange that this and other incidents like it seem to cluster in an Election Year.

Remember this universal truth - MASS protest is only effective in eliciting positive change when it is peaceful and self-sacrificing.

For example - MASSIVE sit ins or marches featuring silence, or the singing of hymns, or chanting of prayers, and non-resistance. The protestors must be willing to be arrested and jailed. Injured. Even killed.

History shows those protests much more impactful than violent protests in changing hearts, minds, laws, policy.

However when anger over injustice builds over years - peaceful protests are often less likely. Unless there appears a highly inspirational non-violent leader.
