In England we are well aware of this. The US's racism is one of your nations defining features, along with obesity, evil evangelicalism and not knowing anything about the wider world.
but that is a bull shit narrative. the "dims' use to incite the riots and dumb white collage kids who rather seek contentment and righteousness from god feel like they have to show the world how righteous they are by shitting on established soceity. honestly even most black people know this is a bull shit narrative. it seems only the people who are 100% dependent on the news think this way.
in 2019 there wee only 10 cases where black men were shot by the police.
in 5 out of those 10 an officer was attacked moments before the shooting.
and out of the remaining cases 2 officers were changed which even then does not mean guilt.
in the same year there were 25 white Americans fatally shot by the police.
even those blacks represent 13% of the population according FBI stats the commit 53% of all violent crime. this in of itself put black men in the way of police at a far greater ratio than whites. black also kill 10xs more whites than whites kill blacks. and a police officer is 18xs more likly to be killed by a black male than a white.
If these number were that far off, tell me would you rather be dumped in the middle of average black neighborhood in Detroit after dark, or the average white neighborhood at the same time in the same city. If all thing were equal and whites and black committed the same crime and black people are being picked on like you say.. then it should not matter which neighborhood you were in.

So if everyone is on the same page to whom is this civil unrest helping? To me this just seems like a generation or two who has never been told no/doesn't know how to live and loose/how to live when they don't get what they want now. it's like we have a generation of spoiled brats who were not properly disciplined, and who have no respect for authority. Look at Chaz.. look at their list of demands. none of it helps Floyd none of it helps the people who have died in these riots nor the people who have lost everything. This seems more like an anti government/trump cue attempt than anything else. Seriously they tried to get him with Russia collusion, we now finding out it was all fabricated by the 'swamp' he is trying to drain, they try to get him with scandals, we found out they were out right lying. they try to get him with impeachment and fail over and over and over again.. they can't get what they want now they are throwing a temper tantrum.
If you look at the 60s and the baby boomers they too were generation who were not disciplined in masse because alot of the returning vets sought to spoil their children because of the war and most of them grew up during the great depression with nothing. from that spawned a generation of worthless hippies. now we seeming have another generation of worthless people who destroy and break things and disrupt
lives when they don't get their way. Thoughts?
Wow, you are so behind the curve. An Asshole named James Earl Ray started the spark. The fact morons like you haven't caught up is irrelevant
OF FUCKING COURSE FLOYD WAS A SPARK! But he was not the first spark. Maybe white ignorance is the culprit?

A year from now, we'll be treated to Driches neverending list of complaints about white supremacy, and the many failures of trumpism.
just like the last 4 years huh..
