Racial politics in America are a simmering pot waiting to boil over, they have been for decades. This is only exacerbated as the poverty created by the (totally unnecessary) lockdown starts to hit home.

As the weather gets hot, and jobs dry up and prices skyrocket and the small businesses close…people will get tense. They will get angry.

This is dry tinder which can burst into flames at any moment.

All it took was a spark.

Now the protesters swarm cities all across America, as windows are smashed, shops looted and public buildings set afire. Civilians are being maced and tasered and the rubber bullets are flying...

No school loans to rioters.

It will not stop at the cities this time. It will hit the suburbs and rural town.

Only because nobody has had the guts to call out those who have made it their mission to keep a permanent underclass of victims alive and racism alive. For most decent people, it doesn't exist....

we need to stop and ask how we got here

In the 60’s, blacks began the Motown sound - the music was much about love and peace. Sometime during the 80’s, RAP became the major music of blacks and had an anger element to it. Was it sparked by Reagan as president? I don’t know, but this has been building for a generation - build on a narrative of oppression, and a racist violent America, that was built by slaves. And now, a generation of feral kids, this is what we get.

I've thought about this, in conjunction with all the paranoid delusions about "white supremacists" being behind this nationwide plunder.

The antifa ringleaders urging BLM and black rioters to "invade" the suburbs and rural America are very plainly inviting them to commit suicide on behalf of their cause.

They're basically saying black people have no importance to them whatsoever, except as cannon fodder.

The deep state is afraid President Trump will federalize the National Guard. And so that is exactly what President Trump should do.

Then they should be placed to protect federal buildings, sites and the locals in the area especially minority areas.

President Trump needs to go in a talk softly and carry a big stick mode and deliver action to these people. He is not gong to be able to out tweet or out speak them.

All the leaders need to be found and rounded up fast and then the guard needs to leave as quickly as they came.

If he waits they will continue these protests for months gaining sympathy through the media outlets continued propaganda

Some black people are cluing in to this and are beginning to speak up.
