Why do black people riot?

[Anonymous]

Okay I have realized that during any instance of police brutality that Black people will riot. I understand their anger and frustration and I support police reform and ending qualified immunity for cops. I also believe that they are badly mistreated by the police and that they are wrongfully racially profiled and harassed by them and I wish it would stop. However I don’t get why that when an instance of police brutality is brought to the attention of the public that black people choose to riot and destroy their own businesses, I mean those businesses didn’t do anything to deserve it and rioting also caused property value to go down by a lot. I just wonder why Black people do this.

They want to turn their neighborhood into a piece of shit so that no one wants to live, work, or play there. Once all the jobs are gone, half the buildings are burned down to the ground, there is no where to shop except liquor stores, gun stores, and pawn shops then the neighborhood has a general reputation of being dangerous then property values plummet. With that rent gets reduced, they can sell drugs on the corners and kill competing street gangs for territory without the cops showing up to defend regular citizens. This is why groups like the BLM idolize criminals like Floyd... For the average no one it’s a chance for low rent and poverty so they can collect welfare and survive without working. For the higher up criminals it’s free reign of the streets to run their criminal empires without police interference. That’s the driver for the entire defund the police shit at the street level even if the overarching puppeteers that play them want to remove police and strip guns from citizens for dictatorial power/communism... For the rich Democrats that instigate it, it’s an opportunity to buy up property for 10 cents on the dollar and then bull doze it and evict all the Black people in 10 years and build a new high priced neighborhood to strip normal people of wealth with a rolling real estate scam. Then the Black people are pushed to a new area like a plague to do the same shit somewhere else when they get the word from their masters...

lol The anonymous guy bellow is hilarious. Him and Black people like him are the ones that give power to those that abuse them. The Black people are the soldiers for the criminal plot. They are basically hire mercenaries used to take territory but I guess they are apparently to dumb to know their role. Their payment is through government assistance and points on the package... Every time Blacks riot after being provoked by media sources, they make those that control them richer and more powerful in their community granting them more control over Black lives.

Well, for a few hundred years black people tried asking nicely and it didn't work. So they rioted. Thing is, they don't own the property. They also don't own the businesses. So it doesn't matter to them one bit if they get damaged. It matters to the people in charge who can actually stop police brutality. So riots motivate those people with power to end police brutality to end the riots, since they had no interest in ending police brutality simply because it's the right thing to do. You see, people with absolutely nothing to lose have no problem with going to extremes because it can't actually get any worse. If they weren't so poorly treated on every level, maybe they'd be less inclined to riot. That property and those businesses mean absolutely nothing to people who have no control over them.

As far as "Those businesses did nothing wrong" well, they did. They had the power to change things and for hundreds of years have chosen not to. They had and continue to have the power to make this country a free and welcoming place for all people and continue to make the conscious decision each and every day not to do it. To turn a blind eye. That makes them just as responsible.

Many of the businesses damaged during the riots were minority owned. I support anyone’s right to protest, and there are definitely legitimate reasons for these demonstrations, but violence isn’t protest. MLK’s protests were effective because they were non-violent. Violence becomes the story and it distracts from the issue at hand. It also gives those opposing you a built in reason to push back. I think it diminishes the overall movement. That’s my 2 cents anyway.

Why do white people riot when their favourite sports teams wins a series?

the police brutality is the excuse some people need to riot. they don't really care about the issue they want a chance to go nuts and destroy things without any real repercussions. and its not just black people, back when the riots were real bad they had a problem with people coming from across the country just to participate in the riot

[anylolone]

Same reason why anyone riots.
At the very least, usually because they are stupid thugs.
"Why do the french riot?" because they are stupid thugs.

some rioting might be undersatandable due to historical facts but we have gone way passed that and now it is about hatred and racism from them towards white america and police.

A lot of people do it to get free stuff. In the UK we call it "five finger discount".
