Honestly the riots would never have happened if the police didn’t have a reputation of violating the civil rights of minorities and using excessive force on blacks. The Rodney king incident was the tipping point not the single issue.
King was a prior felon, a total idiot; lots of things happened prior to the camera and IMO the nation would have really been better off if the LAPD let the Highway Patrol person just shoot King.
White people and other non-blacks were "shocked" at the level of hatred from blacks during interviews that they never harbored the other way.
Made gun sales in the suburbs skyrocket and to this day robbers and other criminals know that if they come to the suburbs for criminality, they are likely to not leave in good health.
Like Obama that set back race relations quite a bit.
The issue was never if King was a criminal. The outrage was with the police department using excessive force. At the time white felons weren’t beaten once they were in custody, which only happened to blacks. The LAPD leadership had to be changed and entire departs like the Rampart District had to be closed down and criminal officers purged.
I believe more people were shocked about the fact these criminal officers were acquitted with the amount of evidence that was present.
And I don’t see how Obama set back race relations. He tried to reach across the table more so then any previous president. The only people who were upset about having a black president were the racist. The same people who was against freeing slaves, the same people who was against desegregation and the same people who was against blacks voting. These people have been around since the inception of the US and will be around at the end. I petty them…

If the blacks are such poor customers, then the Koreans can find another neighborhood to operate in. They aren't forced to operate stores in black neighborhoods.
If they choose to operate in these areas, then what in the hell do you want us to say about it? There must be something in it for them if they stay.

I could care less about this stupid issue.
I am certain that the Koreans that were violated will land back on their feet. The thugs who saw an opportunity to loot and destroy were never on their feet to begin with.
BTW, isn't the fact that it takes Koreans, or any other group, to come into the black community to open business at the root of the issue? Why aren't these stores opened by those from the local community? And please, let's refrain from the typical excuses.
I am still trying to see how Obama set back race relations as well.
That's bc Obama is smart with his agitation, he follows the democrat tradition of speaking in code and beyond the Msm cameras. Tribal politics is alive and well in the donkey party.

Who in the hell are you to issue me a caveat as to what I can say? Didn't you just read what I said? I said that I don't give a damn about the issue!
Moreover, name me a white or Hispanic neighborhood in SoCal where Asians don't own businesses and aren't one of the primary merchants in the area. I've been all over that area, and I've never seen it. Perhaps you know something that I don't (not really).
Again, if the Asians don't like blacks or blacks are such poor customers, then they can leave for better pastures. Last I saw, they hadn't left at all. So what's the big deal?
Lotta asians are middleman minorities like Jews, Lebanese in west Africa, Armenians, etc. they're very important in economies bc they under consume and produce with their savings. Sometimes they're made out to be scapegoats by political ideologues.
