This is a DYSFUNTION people. It is not real. These criminals attack police officers and are shot. If it feels sometimes like part of the US has lost it's mind.....it has.
Some in the black underclass are beginning to believe this is a normal way of life and is therefore OK. How about raising your kids right, with some values, instead of complaining when they get shot.

It ain't race. If you don't fight the police, you

It becomes racial because black children are apparently
taught that the police are the enemy and they act on it.
"Teach your children well..."
The vast majority of black children (around 72%) were raised by a single mom and therefore lacked a fatherly figure to serve as role models. The outcome is violent disrespectful humans. Maybe black men should not get women pregnant if they have no plans on being "fathers".

Atlanta is getting one.

And there is baseball here. Red Sox fans rioted over baseball. Braves fans don't really do that.

WRONG! 72% of Black children are born of out wedlock. This does not take into account those persons who get married after the birth. It does not take into account those who live with their partner without getting married.

And why only blame the men? What about the women who sleep with any kind of man? What about those who put the men on child support and then prevent them from seeing their children? Last I've checked, women are more likely to get custody of their children than men.

To some extent, but not near as bad as Ferguson or the MLK riots in the late 60's, My Uncle had to sit on his front porch with a shot gun to keep from having his house burned down and every major city had massive destruction.

I wasn't downplaying it. I was listing all of the possible variables. Show me where I've lied.

Maybe not the Boston riots. However, I would look at what happened in Montreal and Vancouver right after the Stanley Cup finals.

And throughout USA history, there have been alot of riots and killing done by White people, before the 60s. Why only when Blacks do the same thing are people suddenly freaking out?
