More from the professional victim class and race hustlers who only want a HAND-OUT they neither earned nor deserve.

They want equality of outcome and income rather than a fair system of meritocracy.

Stop the whining already! We’ve heard it all and already sacrificed trillions of dollars trying to “uplift” and help blacks and sacrificed too many of our sons in the War Between the States.

STFU just about says it all.

The only way riots can be used as a path to powers is either if they spread far outside the initial geographic flashpoint, or if the public sees enough threat in them that they open the door to such out of fear or guilt.

In the case of the latter, i dont see the non-impacted public going along at this point. For the former, well, the US happens to be a nation of 100,000,000 private gun owners with 350,000,000 privately held guns.

Can’t recall if the Weather Underground ever considered that fact, but it seems to me that if there are inner city riots they’ll be confined to the inner cities and maybe inner suburbs. If not by geography (riots will probably burn themselves out before leaving the urban cores) then by an armed citizenry.

Very simple how race riots being used to seize absolute power works.

Orchestrate race riots in every major city and people, including people here, will be calling for the governors of the states to send in national guard to stop the riots.

Then, with the help of foreign terrorist/govt., you start carrying out terrorist attacks.

At that point it becomes an act of war and the governors no longer have control of the national guard troops, the fed govt. takes charge.

I wouldn’t bet my life that our troops wouldn’t follow orders and fire on American citizens seen as “waging war” against the govt. of the US.

The basic problem is mathmatical: it was difficult enough pacifying a small city like Falluja. There simply aren’t enough troops to pacify more than a couple major US urban areas. Even including Federal/State/Local police with their SWAT goodies as “troops.”

It’s like Yamamoto said about the challenge of invading the US: there’s going to be a rifle behind every blade of grass.

Maybe you’re right.

Those people in Boston sure put up a hell of a fight after the Boston bombing didn’t they?

You resist and it will simply confirm you are waging war against the US govt.

If you don’t think the left wing freak shows would love to turn in their undesirable neighbors to the authorities, you’re wrong.

You were nice enough to call it an “essay”. The lib blogger called it a “thing”.

A “stratification scholar” should be teaching in a Department of Geology.

"...if we do not use power to redistribute capital there is no racial justice or equality.

Just like the Rev. Martin Luther...sorry, I mean Lenin & Mao, taught us.

Reparations: see Pigford v. USDA (both under Clinton and Obama)

Build a man a fire he'll be warm for perhaps an hour. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life...

Let them absorb the hint.

She called it a thing because her vocabulary is small. But hey, she was “smart” enough to get into Duke. I am sure that was due to her scores, and not affirmative action. Suuuuuuure...
