    No it leads to a armed insurgency effort and the world's most powerful militaries invading and then the entire industrial world coming together to give them their own country and sovereignty.

    "You treat people like animals long enough they eventually become like animals." Isn't that a popular saying?

    What African Americans faced was a long slow burn of oppression through limiting opportunities to climb the socioeconomic ladder. Yes, those 400 years of actions have modern repercussions.

    For some reason when I typed that quote knew you were going to ignore my point and type that because let's be honest, You aren't having a good faith discussion here with me.

    I think you know what the quote means. You strip humans of their dignity long enough they will resort to more base id motivated type actions such as looting and rioting,

    I'm trying to understand "riots."

    You had suggested that the "causality" of these riots included "400 years of actions." We are isolating causal variables. When compared with 2400 years of actions against Jews that have not resulted in riots, the "400 years of actions" as a possible cause of the current riots now seems somewhat less certain or obvious as a cause.

    There are many kinds of riots. From wikipedia a simple classification:

    It would be helpful for me (to understand your arguments) if you could tell me what type or types of riots you believe the current riots/protests to be. Then we both may gain a better understanding about "causality" in this current context.

    Many of your questions if not all of them are answered above. You just have to read them instead of trying to find ways to be cute with selective quotes.

    I don't understand what you mean by "types or riots". Apply some common sense and figure out what type of riots I'm referring to.

    "type or types of riots"?? a riot doesn't necessarily have to be just one kind of riot--in the examples above, you could have a riot that is both an urban riot and a race riot at the same time. I meant only to suggest the categories aren't necessarily mutually exclusive

    Figure it out yourself and stop being pedantic and pretending this is some sort of useful exercise.

    You are making normal claims. I'm not debating the merits or effectiveness of rioting. I'm stating the consequences of previous actions by institutions. I'm making a positive claim. I'm just stating what is at least my perception of what is.

    You can be upset with both situations. Choosing just one isnt necessary.

    Fox news is live streaming the looting of south lake liquor. At first they were just getting bottles and beer but then they found the safe and went bananas.

    Agent provocateur? There are a ton of theories going around. He's a St paul cop, he' s alt right, Anti fa, staged by the protestors, you name it it's out there...he is wearing a $500 police issue Honeywell gas mask, tactical boots, the whole nine yards. Google Jacob Pederson of St Paul and see what you think

    Crowds in downtown are climbing on HPD cruisers and busting the windows.

    Wasn't Rex convicted of stealing a bunch of Apple products from an Apple Store a couple years back? This guy probably angry that he's missing out on the action.
