^ That was a call for clarity and a call to action that doesn't involve burning down the whole city. A little lucidity can go a long way when you are looking for solutions.

Totally. I don't think burning down a city is the answer. I just realize that after decades of "progress" and still having black men and women die at the hands of the police...maybe it's not up to us to decide what the answer is anymore. I feel rage and anger and I'm a white man. I can only imagine what black men and women feel like at this time.

The thing is: the riots worked. There's no way in hell that there would be any accountability for Floyd's death without them.
KM's take reminds me of this speech. I'll leave speaking for the black community to the other white guys of the forum this time around.

I respect the pain in his voice. And I really do believe Atlanta is one of the best cities in the country for black people so that point is taken. But going back to Wayne Williams and all the **** I saw growing up. This is just a theory but look into it. The missing and murdered children from Atlanta at the time of my youth was the action of a racist white cop. Maybe they did the right thing covering that up. Maybe I wouldn’t be alive if they let the truth out. Atlanta is a comparative success story in many ways but there’s also a lot very nasty politics and white supremacy. **** covered up like crazy. And much of it is still a totally ****ing unlivable no hope no chance failure. And that’s our best? They’ve moved the Braves and the Falcons out of downtown destroying all the income that brought in. The greatest black city in America can’t field a decent NBA team. It may seem off topic to talk about sports but it’s connected. The Hawks administration sent a memo actively trying to make blacks feel less welcome at Hawks games because they were supposedly scaring the wealthier white people. I never saw racial conflicts at Hawks games and I went to a bunch of them during the Dominique era.

The people being arrested for rioting are currently being investigated based on suspicions that they are white supremacists exploiting these protests.
Trump and company are currently trying to say they are Antifa with zero evidence in response. Either way, there is video of masked white people destroying local businesses while protesters beg them to stop.

That's what's so ****ed up about Trump.
The people arresting them think they could be white supremacists and Trump's response is "Don't blame others, it's obviously Antifa.".
