It's really pathetic, that you're incapable of going to any news site, and I mean any news site, it will have a link to the essay President Obama published a couple of days ago. I posted it to SW, in the Politics section. here's a quote:
[quote]On the other hand, the small minority of folks who’ve resorted to violence in various forms, whether out of genuine anger or mere opportunism, are putting innocent people at risk, compounding the destruction of neighborhoods that are often already short on services and investment and detracting from the larger cause. I saw an elderly black woman being interviewed today in tears because the only grocery store in her neighborhood had been trashed. If history is any guide, that store may take years to come back. So let’s not excuse violence, or rationalize it, or participate in it. If we want our criminal justice system, and American society at large, to operate on a higher ethical code, then we have to model that code ourselves.[/quote]
However, this is not the real issue, what matters here, is the environment that led to the chaos we're experiencing now, and the root cause. This is what everyone should be concerned with, not the narrative of those pretending it's all about looting.

How?
[quote]If Americans are sooo racist please explain how a black man was elected president not once but twice?[/quote]
Did I say Americans are sooo racist? But, it's interesting that this would say this, as an answer to something I did not say. Part of your narrative?
