25 years since the LA riots.
Permalink  
 


Been seeing promos for a "documentary" coming on soon.

I remember watching it on tv and thinking, do they really think they are helying anything?

What do you think was learned from that riot? 

Do you think it helped race relations?

No, not at all. We are in the same place we were 25 years ago.

Mob mentality is a scary thing. It never accomplishes anything positive.

I thought there was a period there where we were getting better. But the last 8 years screwed that all up.

 Nope, the recent election sent a clear message: White is right.

No the message was ONLY black lives matter.

 I think things were changing, but I don't know about improving. 

I agree, the O years set race relations back to pre integration times.

I've never seen so many black people want to separate themselves from others in my life.

I feel the only thing learned by the LA riots is that they got away with it.

As was proven in Ferguson. 

In LA 54 people were killed and billions, that's BIllions, in damage as a result of the riots.

And all anyone done was throw up their hands and saY "what ya gonna do".

Really?  Because white people were the only ones running.  So how does that equate to white is right?  confuse  Were we not supposed to vote because there weren't any black candidates?

It's flan. It doesn't have to make sense. Just another reason for her to get her panties in a wad.

Animals. They acted like animals. And if they want equality, maybe they shouldn't act like animals. And that applies to all races and color. I was there during all that. It wasn't fun. It didn't prove a point. It was a looting free for all and mass theft and destruction. I was grateful for the building's cleaning staff who stood guard outside, armed. Yes, armed. If they hadn't been, the building would have gone down in flames like so many all around it. I was a block from the apartment building that was burned to the ground. Lots were rendered homeless. At least one died. Fortunately I had an "in" with the PD, and received word to leave without asking questions. Which is exactly what I did. For weeks we had the national guards out afterward. My building was across from the Korean Consulate, and I would bring the guards food and water. And things haven't changed. Take a look at Baltimore. Animals. More animals.

 The incidents of racism and sexism have increased since Trump took office.

If you (general you) don't read the news, maybe you should.

It seems to me it was the protesters AGAINST Trump that were in the news so much. A few ttried to blame Trump supporters but they were making it up to try to discredit Trump. Maybe you should watch the news.

Wrong again.  The rhetoric about racism and sexism have increased (due to the cower in the corner liberals), but there has been no increase. 

Again, who were we supposed to vote for between the two white candidates?

Liberals are literally SCARED to have VP Pence speak at their graduation. They are literally SCARED of building a Chick Fil A near a college campus. Chalk drawings SCARE them.

It is the absolute most pathetic thing I've ever seen in my life.

Well you are missing out!  Ranked the best fast food in America in taste, quality, and service! Also the largest grossing fast food restaurant. Even gay people go there its so good!

 That must have been so scary. I know I will never forget the footage of the riots that they showed on the news. 

I will never understand why/how people can act like that.

So you are talking out of your arse again.  Making statements with no proof.  Good effort though!

It's hard to deny something that didn't happen.  And since you cannot provide a single instance, I'll just have to think you are making it up.

You are so predictable!  You make an accusation and then expect others blindly believe you, then accuse them of not being informed. 

You CANNOT make this up! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
