Sure it can.

As long as Sharpton and Jackson can make money by crying "racism", they'll continue. No one wants a repeat of Watts.

I can see it now -- all those white folks rioting out there in suburbia.

It's coming soon. I swear it will.

Riots, including racial riots, did wonders for Nixon's 1968 win over Humphrey. So, if the Powers That Be decide that they want a Republican in the White House in 2016, they might just direct the national news media to orchestrate a few racial riots between now and then in order to galvanize the white vote.

No, here in Metro Detroit things seem fine. Just a few people in the media trying to keep these incidents alive to make a few bucks.

Good evening, Gardener. :2wave:

Those aren't riots! That's just the usual standard Friday night neighborhood party! :lamo:

Good evening, Miss P, and thanks for the invite. Sounds fun. Cleveland does, indeed, rock.

Is it BYO?

If race riots do happen, they will be from the growing number of butthurt white supremacists, not the disenfranchised people of color.

A riot of white supremacists would barely equal a fist fight in numbers. The disenfranchised people of color sure seem to like to destroy and steal stuff with no real point to it other than they can use it as an excuse, so I would say their disenfranchisement typically isn't at the top of the agenda in the last few decades.

It's not the color who divide the people, especially in criminality.

I think that the most likely scenario for mass rioting in the US would be due to US economic trouble and the cuts to social programs that follow. While the riots that may happen wont be a racial riot per say it will likely consist of mainly minorities who more heavily rely on these social services.

This comment is racist. And no, mine was not.

Good evening pg...

That last B in BYOB meant booze in this case, but you have introduced an interesting new concept here... :lamo:

Everyone has a deck, and it is a small neighborhood....Outdoor living at its best!

Good evening, AP. :2wave:

I always bring the booze, so that didn't occur to me, and a deck would be better than some places I have slept... :lol:

If the Conservatives ever control enough to destroy the middle class and bring us to the days of nobles and peasants, it could happen.
But it would happen along side many different types of riots, total chaos, massive poverty, and the end of our Nation.

It's not the color who divide the people, especially in criminality.

I agree that it's status, education, opportunity and money, not color that divides. But it is envy that creates the animosity towards the race that is predominately wealthy and in control.
