Race wars origins

[Meire 100]

Did it all start with Rodney King or was it before that?. If we ignore the aftermath that Martin Luther King fought for. But basically 1991 (same year as i am born in) this guy experience police brutality on film, and the reports on the events was fabricated. This sparked a riot in Los Angelos, killing 50 people. So while the cops were fools and racism should never go unpunished, but the fact that they had to kill 50 people is completely moronic. You dont win by fighting racism with racism. I mean when will these fools learn that. Its common sense.

 

This would go better if, you import some anti discrimination law. Also riots should also be beaten down (Or maybe atleast make it easier to organize a more proper protest movement that doesnt involve people dying because you disagree like a protest movement or something). Riots are literally for apes, white or black apes i dont care only fools do it. Dont be jerk to people because they look different, i mean its easy. Some people really do have problems though and the only way to prevent it is to try to raise people to respect others as they are. And if they happen to be racists then dont tolerate it or make consequences for it. This will have in my view most effect on people getting along and being friends instead of hating of silly issues. I mean i like pens but i dont argue over them. They are all pens in the family.

Depends on what you mean. We haven't actually has a Race War in the United States, just scattered riots. Rodney King was pretty much the last great huzzah of acceptable racism in the police force.

 

As for the origins of the current racial strife, it started with Trayvon Martin.

It all started with the declaration of Independence. Really, though. Because slavery was a major industry in the US even well after other nations like the british empire outlawed it. Then there was segregation, and the resulting poverty found in large black communities because of that, leading to increased tensions with the police. 

 

So racial tension is heavily tied to this country's past and present.
