It’s largely retarded white chicks that dream of being pimped on the street.

There are a surprising number of whites in this.

Consider what I'm about to say carefully before replying, lest it be misunderstood. This doesn't apply directly to you, but to all repliers.

There are two historic benchmarks in American history that define the baseline for what "race relations" ought to be. And, there are two disruptive events that define the opposition to these baseline benchmarks.

The two historic benchmark events are the Emancipation Proclamation and Brown v. Board of Education. The two disruptive events are the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln and the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King.

The problem is that, while race relations have continued to progress over the life of this country, the most recent benchmark to be measured against is now over 50 years old. The face of race relations today are either Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, the Congressional Black Caucus, or the NAACP, all born out of the death of Dr. King 50 years ago. Their justification as leaders are stuck in time, while society has continued to grow and adapt to everyday realities.

Today's protesters and rioters are under 30 years old.

A recent event is the election and administration of President Barack Obama. History has not yet determined whether this was a benchmark event or a disruptive event, but I lean towards the latter. In fact, I have a hard time calling it a disruptive event because I can't point to a recent racial benchmark event that it disrupts.

If there is a benchmark event that the Obama administration defines, it is either the turning point of the Democrat Party away from defending American Exceptionalism, or the support of the Islamic movement in the Middle East and Asia. In either case, it is not historic race relations but a new globalist paradigm that the Obama election sought to instill.

This leaves today's impressionable youth of all races adrift. As the Republican/Democrat rift now spreads across a nationalistic/globalist divide instead of competing internal group interests, where the battlefield is now "make America great again" or Paris Accords or Russian Reset or Arab Spring or Iran Deal or Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals from other countries, it's no wonder that the young adults of today don't have a commonly accepted baseline to define what "race relations" means to them in a way that fits into their short life experience.

What they do have is Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and whatever else feeds their instant gratification that fills the gap in their lives, because there are no longer any long term benchmark events to help them define a baseline to measure success and failure, progress and regress, growth and stagnation, authority and anarchy, law and lawlessness.

So the riots fill an immediate gratification and a rebellious streak that crosses racial divides. The problem is that the protesters are older people established in their communities who built their lives and their successes around the old baselines of race relations, while the rioters are younger people with no respect for any of it and just want to destroy things in the name of some ethereal idea of a globalist order they will never really become a part of. They are just as radicalized as Islamic extremists to destroy the status quo, motivated by fantasy view of a future that can never be.
