The Rodney King riots were as much an anti-Korean pogrom as anything else. (And had, therefore, nothing to do with perceived injustices to Rodney King.)
After the Korean community was sacked (and many of those recent immigrants did not have insurance for their stores), Korean community members tried to have a demonstration at city hall. City workers—predominately black—dumped garbage on them from the windows of the building. The mayor—black—refused to meet with them (though he did apologize for their having garbage dumped on them).
Korean workers were stopped from working on reconstruction projects.
Maxine Waters encouraged the rioters in every way possible, vocally rabble rousing.
The LAPD did nothing to try and stop the riots, especially at the start.
There are as many citizens of Asian origin in California as there are of African origin; but you’d never find that the two groups are treated equally. (In fact, a few years ago it was actually legal to discriminate against Asians in the California university system, with a quota determining how many Asians could enroll for any class.)
So much for all the talk of equality, equal protection of the laws, etc.
South Korea and *communist* North Korea are technically still at war with each other. The "Korean" store owners are South Korean.
From David Horowitz's FrontpageMag.com /DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
"Throughout its history, one of RCP's [Revolutionary Communist Party] principal objectives has been to foment civil unrest in the United States. The most notable example of such efforts occurred on April 29, 1992, when RCP members looted and trashed the downtown and government districts of Los Angeles, triggering the infamous Rodney King riots. During the days immediately preceding the violence, RCP -- which maintained close ties to the L.A. gangs known as the Crips and the Bloods -- had circulated throughout South Central Los Angeles a leaflet featuring a statement by RCP National Spokesman Carl Dix, titled 'It's Right To Rebel' -- a quote popularized by Mao Zedong.
Encouraged by Dix, RCP activists helped lead the riots that would leave 58 people dead, more than 2,300 people injured, some 5,300 buildings burned, and $1 billion in property damaged or destroyed. On the ten-year anniversary of the rioting, RCP member Joseph Veale fondly recalled the violence as 'the most beautiful, the most heroic civil action in the history of the United States.'"

"Create Public Opinion, Seize Power: We are preparing minds and organizing forces for the time when there is a major crack in the system, whenever it comes and wherever it comes from: an opening that makes it possible to bring the future Revolutionary Army of the Proletariat (R.A.P.) into the field and wage a revolutionary armed struggle that actually has a chance of winning.
And we have said that building our party itself is the most important part of organizing forces for revolution. This is true now, and it is true looking forward to the creation of that future R.A.P. and the waging of that armed struggle.":
