Mmhmm. That's the funny thing about all the comments about who the rioters will be and who will make a big mess, etc. Many, many people riot and go nuts when happy or upset after sporting events. That is not limited to inner cities or any one race.

That is why, in ways people refuse to understand, when someone says oh it's going to be the inner city or the projects that cause the problems, they are being racist. Making that claim completely discounts history beyond cherry picking what events you want to use in order to back up your claim.

Rioting and civil unrest in society has not been nor will it ever be limited to one race.

Can you provide me with the sources that do a comparative study of the racism of each political party? I'd really like to see those. The cherry-picking of information that you are doing isn't really working.

You've got it all covered don't you. Can you not see that the decidedness and dogmaticism of your thinking might be problematic? You and your party can never be in error, according to your thinking. How come we all aren't riding unicorns and laughing all the way to the bank after the last 8 years.

Actually the National gaurd is preparing also.

1. Much like when a sports team when a major event, instead of celebrating in style, riots often break out. Only this is nation wide and is expected to happen among our fine inner city folk.

2. If the polls are wrong, (and many feel they are, including myself) and McCain wins, inner city people are expected to riot.

If there were to be an unrest and Obama wins.......

I just see the McCain supporters protesting about SOCIALISM and that's it.

So they will have signs that say "NO SOCIALISM. KEEP CAPITALISM."
