You ever hear Ice-T explain the LA riots?
Nope and don't need to.
He compared it to a prison riot. A person so mad at the conditions and treatment that they'll burn their own matress, they'll destroy whatever belongingss they may own because they are so angry and so fed up they want everyone to know about it.
Muthafuckas don't give two flying fucks if you fuck up YOUR shit. So you get mad and angry and fuck up YOUR shit? AND? Now fuck up the next persons shit and see what happens. If you are angry and fed up take it out on the people who did it. If you are going to riot, and you want to fuck shit up, fuck up the people who are responsible.
And people in prison get better health care then EITHER of us and their shit is gonna get replaced. The average person on the street? Probably not. No insurance or a lapse? Hell no.
Same thing here. The riots aren't in the name of this guy who was killed, no man it's far deeper than that.
Let me ask you a couple of questions. When was the last time you were pulled over because of your skin color? When was the last time you were denied a job because of your skin color? When was the last time a store owner followed you around in a store because of your skin color?
Rodney King wasn't the first and only black man to be beaten in LA it was just the most publicized, same thing here. The anger is deep. It's far deeper than this guys parents saying to stop. People are fed up.
If you're fed up you need to take it to the person who created the situation in the first place. You don't BURN and DESTROY your own infrastructure. Go to the people who did it or who are connected to it, fuck their shit up and then see something get done.
Blacks have been destroying their own shit for
YEARS and what the fuck has been accomplished? What was accomplished during the King riots? Nothing. When X got killed? Nothing. When MLK got killed? Nothing. Oscar Grant? Nothing. But hey, go ahead and raid a goddamn RIM shop or electronic or hair shop. You tear up your own shit it puts the focus back on you "we have to police them, this is how they act." Blacks need to stop fucking up their own shit. If you are upset about whatever, take it to the SOURCE. Don't do the same shit White America has done before.
There is no need to do a Greenwood, Rosewood or North Carolina to your OWN SHIT.
