What rubbish.

Now, it's true that about half the riots in US history have been race riots, but that's a side effect of special race/poverty conditions in American communities. If you go over Wikipedia's list of civil unrest in American history (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_incidents_of_civil_unrest_in_the_United_States) you'll see about half involve caucasian rioters.

One wrote an essay in my class about losing his father in the floods and then getting lost from his family at the Superdome.

We should be a better country than we act some times

I am not sure they have a choice in the matter, things are way out of control. Dump has destroyed 30 years of carefully manicured pretense in just a few months.
