Riots - Imagine that.

[crays]

Marc Lamont Hill was on CNN last night and he said the folks should be doing this and he said it was a revolt NOT a riot. He said they need to revolt to get things changed.

IMO, I dont think there is as much racial oppression as the liberals say there is but that's a larger discussion for another day. What really struck me was his idea of what a justifiable revolt is. When he said that I immediately thought to myself, a revolt is not looting for 40's, stealing TP and burning cars. A revolt targets people or systems that the fed-up group sees as the authority. The tactics can be peaceful protests or can be violent mobs but a true revolt has a goal of changing/removing the system or people that the oppressed see as being the problem. A revolt is by definition an uprising against authority.

In this case, even if they feel justified to "revolt", the neighborhood CVS where your grandma picks up her diabetes meds is not the oppressor. The local construction site is not holding people down. The car they stole and burned in the street is not an uprising against authority. The targets of their destruction prove these people are not revolting. It proves that they are just opportunistic criminals. Marc Lamont Hill is a moron.

Or maybe they are...
