Race Wars?

The happenings of Baltimore has pushed me to the point of speaking out. It is undeniable what those police officers did was atrocious, but it does not constitute the looting and burning of innocent citizens businesses. I don't even believe they're rioting over one incident, if it was because of racial police profiling it would been all at once at first, not at individual incidents over a few months apart. Haven't we all learned over history that rioting does nothing except cause more damage. African Americans think White Americans "racially profile" so they riot, while that may be true in some cases but on the other hand, we "racially profile" BECAUSE they riot. We are given probable cause for aggression and therefore take precaution.

MLKJr

"Mother Dear, one day I'm going to turn this world upside down" To me this is a statement promising to change the world as he knew it. And he did just that. MLK brought about a revolution in civil rights. Relating to such a man is nearly impossible for a person such as myself because in the case of domestic violence, I am seen as the Patriarchy and the enemy. I really do believe that if Mr. King saw what has become of his success, he would be truly upset. As society has stripped the issue dry to where it is just an excuse for everything wrong.
Does it make you feel good, do you feel strong? Ruining the lives of everyone you love.
