Explain to me how crying racism is going to help the inner city kids get out of the hole they are in instead of demonizing me for saying that it won't.

Riots, looting and senseless violence may not "help anything", but public demonstration is the very essence of free speech. Americans have a right to protest what they believe to be corruptions in government, including the justice system.

Why don't you try explaining to me how not crying out against a perceived injustice is supposed to help anything? Since when have injustices been addressed by keeping ones head down and following the program?
