    Probably would have been different if it was a hockey or soccer game.

    But interesting you bring that up when it was white folks disturbing a peaceful protest and the police responded appropriately.

    No doubt... And in the south the confederate flag is probably more symbolic than the American flag so that makes her even dumber.

    So what is the difference here? Is it some form of genetic predisposition inherent in Africans that entails aggressive behavior?

    It's a choice.

    Where is the 'choice' derived from. Choices are from the individual. When some one states ''white people protest peacefully' and 'look, black protests whither into riots and looting', there is a suggestion that there is some inherent qualities of these races that preclude one race from being more violent.

    I'm asking where does this difference come from. Genetic predisposition?

    Can't tell if you are implying that people don't have a choice to riot? Or fishing for the answer of "whitey made them do it."

    Are you being obtuse on purpose? Falcon stated: "Look, white people protesting peacefully, no national guard needed."

    I'm asking what the difference is between these groups of people that suggests that one race is more prone to riots and looting.

    Come on, you are clearly setting a trap or you would just say the answer yourself. Any answer that critiques some element in the African American community that makes a sub-group (not nearly all, mind you) prone to committing crimes and rioting will be labeled as racist reasoning.

    Thus, the only acceptable answer is they are oppressed (whitey's fault) and have no choice but to riot.

    If I'm mistaken and that's not what you are fishing for, I would be interested in hearing your answer.

    Ask them. Why are you asking me. I have no clue why they choose to riot and vandalize and loot. It makes no sense to me.

    Nationalism and patriotism is dumb. Nobody represents your best interests except yourself and your immediate family members and maybe close friends. Loyalty to anything outside that (and I'm talking die for [x] loyalty) is stupid.

    Only if the black people had the sense of these peaceful white people when they protest.

    The first video: That lady cares way too much about small things. I also wish people wouldn't step on the American flag, but playing tug-o-war isn't gonna accomplish anything. Dumb lady deserved to get arrested.

    2nd video: That is a very smart, well-educated, well spoken, and misguided young man.

    Money.

    She's smart. She'll get guest spots on Hannity for awhile, an invite to tea party conventions...if she plays this right she'll get to release a book and get a spot on a tv network like CNN as their token "hot Republican" when they want someone on tv. Then she'll get to do another playboy spread.

    If it all goes well she could make a few million over a short span and call it a career. Has to launch somehow though.

    What's wrong with her making a stack of cash out of the situation?
