"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." ― C.S. Lewis, God in the Dock: Essays on Theology (Making of Modern Theology)

I want to be wrong. There isn't going to be a race war. It's impossible to have a one sided war. What there will be is a lot of really stupid violence and it won't be in white neighborhoods.
I really don't get it. What did they learn from Watts? Or any modern riot? Congrats on the free TV, danged shame you no longer have any stores in the area to shop in. Seriously, whites aren't the ones who suffer.
You can play blame games or you can do something about it. Curse darkness or light a candle. l would like to be wrong but I think it will be the former."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

I have always been a proponent of gathering all the "race war" groups together, putting them on an island and let them go at it with each other. Televise it if you want, call it The Amazing Racist if you want. If they get rid of each other the rest of us could be left alone."Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.

Honestly, I doubt either group would ever get around to shooting at each other. They would fight among themselves first. They are uncannily similar to each other in group dynamics. Power, companionship, common goal,need for affirmation, Et al .Throw in"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

The real trouble will come when Admins decide that the liability is too high and stop allowing routine responses in some areas. Cops are under no obligation to commit suicide.

This isn't gonna go well.

l suspect it will be a matter of calling in the national guard sooner rather than later. One of these protests will get out of hard, the cops won't be allowed in and once half the town is on fire the Governor will send in the troops. The movement will die in the ashes and no phoenix will arise. It will merely leave things worse than they were.
Until it stops being okay to let the past rule the present the black community is going to remain hostage both to a past it doesn't truly recall and its morally darkest elements. It doesn't have to be this way but it is up to those in the community to decide where they really want to go.

The chain known for its roast beef sandwiches became the center of a national firestorm after an incident Tuesday night, when Pembroke Pines Police Sgt. Jennifer Martin, 34, pulled up to the drive-thru and ordered a meal. When she handed over her credit card to pay, Davenport allegedly refused to ring her order up. That prompted Mirabal to say “He doesn’t want to serve you because you are a police officer.”
Sgt. Martin finally received her food, but said she was too uncomfortable to eat it, so she returned it and got a refund. The next day, the department tweeted about the incident, which Chief Dan Giustino called “unacceptable.”
“I am offended and appalled that an individual within our community would treat a police officer in such a manner,” he said in a statement.
This sparked several mothers and children to picket in front of the Florida restaurant on Wednesday. The local Arby’s then called the police on the peaceful protestors, but they didn’t get the result they’d hoped for. Police arrived with Slurpees for the mothers and children to show their appreciation.
As a result, Arby’s spokesman Jason Rollins announced that the manager, Angel Mirabal, 22, has been terminated. Rollins also stated that the clerk, Kenneth Davenport, 19, has also been suspended.

Look how the liberal media is framing this. Title should be "Altruistic Arby's Worker Can't Bring Himself to Burden Honorable Public Servant with Bag of Arby's food""Some people feel guilty about their anxieties and regard them as a defect of faith but they are afflictions, not sins. Like all afflictions, they are, if we can so take them, our share in the passion of Christ." - That Guy Everyone Quotes
