Just posting for a little perspective and in no way condoning the actions. Just posting to make people realize that media framing is everything, and everyones opinions and prejudices are effected by it. When Brown was killed, there were riots. Those riots were no different from riots back in the day when black people got fed up with the injustice handed to them by the same people who were supposed to protect them. When black people riot, its because of injustice—and that isnt condoning the rioting that leaves black communities in shambles. But lets look at events this past weekend in two white communities. Yes, there were riots. No, they were not rioting about injustice. Im quite sure that some of those who rioted dont even care about the death of black men at the hands of police. What were these white people rioting over? Pumpkins and football. I kid you not. theroot/blogs/the_grapevine/2014/10/black_people_riot_over_injustice_white_people_riot_over_pumpkins_and_football.html
