Here are the photos of the five arrested so far.

Two out of the five are black. Two out of the five are white. We don't know about the fifth. Look at the photos.

5 now charged in VEISHEA riot, including ISU player | Local News - KCCI Home

This is at a university that is 90% white. What does that tell you? The OP is probably right- look into a riot and usually there will be mostly black people behind it.

Thank you for illustrating so well the very purpose of this thread. Out of all the people who participated in this riot, two have been identified via video/photo as of color. The fact that this is emphasized when obviously the overwhelming majority who participated in the riot were white clearly evidences the racism that motivates such emphasis. Thanks very much!

The irony here is that someone from DETROIT considers that a "riot".

Who's from Detroit?

How would I know? I live in Arizona. Besides, when was the last riot on Belle Isle?

I can't find a link.

The irony is beautiful. Look at the accompanying vid and point out the black faces.

LMAO...that's what I thought.

Of course he doesn't see the irony. He just sees black faces in a photo.

He missed the myriad of white rioters tearing up the place.
