It is called the "culture of pride". Among individuals who have little in the form of assets or accomplishments, the only "possession" they have is their pride and sense of "honor". While those who have actual assets and accomplishments would not consider a conflict over something trivial, those with nothing consider such conflicts to be a reflection of the only thing they have- their pride and sense of "honor".
This explanation has been studied as the rationale for feuds among early American rival families. Such groups have very little, if anything, in the form of actual wealth, and thus minor affronts are taken to extremes. One sees the identical behavior among the urban poor today, who will kill one another over an "affront" that would seem trivial to anyone else.
Additionally, one sees this among children, who have very little in the form of their own personal assets or accomplishments. Fights and conflicts break out over what adults would consider to be very minor differences.

Culture of honor, actually. Not really a wealth thing. Think Hatfield and McCoys. Hatfield family was wealthy and politically connected, and it's not like the McCoys were dirt poor white trash either. Dueling in Victorian England was more upper crust.
This makes me hungry, think I’ll get some KFC original for supper tonight. A breast, mashed potatoes, gravy, biscuit ,a drink and a cookie. $5.00. Can’t beat it.
Nope. I don’t live in a black neighborhood and the one near me the line was wrapped around the building. It’s a social media fad that lemmings followed.
I am talking about the violence and people behaving badly.
Oh I forgot the talking point. Racism doesn’t exist, it’s just the victim mentality. How about this one “only racism against whites exist”. Look at the videos and commentary here and use some critical, nonlinear thinking.
Of course racism exits from any and all melanin levels, even within similar melanin types. Always has, always will.
I did see the videos. All I saw was abhorrent public behavior and unintelligible utterances.
What did you see and hear in the videos after using your critical, nonlinear thinking?
I went to Popeyes yesterday when the ran out of the sandwich. Everything was cool.
Good chicken.
