The riots that have broken out all over the US highlight black racism, which is always lurking, waiting for an excuse to run amok
ttbn,
My thoughts exactly, same as here just not as radical due to lack of numbers ! To think that the African Americans are imports themselves does show you the controlled nature of the indigenous Americans who we don't appear to see rioting at every stupid action by a white man.
This Police Officer should receive Capital punishment, there was absolutely no excuse for his brutality ! The rioters & looters too should be charged to the highest degree !
Their idiotic behaviour has nothing whatsoever to do with the killing of George Floyd !

Wow! Now white people are apologists for themselves. It's a waste of time trying to deal with anyone that ignorant of his own language.

individual,

As you say, the riots have nothing to do with the death of that poor fellow; they are race riots, pure and simple - plus the opportunity to loot. I'm sure there are African-Americans who would feel the same way.

Paul's introduction of blame Trump; into the discussion is a red herring. We recognise his misplaced hatred of the American President

Those looting and torching businesses are being emotionally fuelled by Get Up and antifa a terrorist organization the hatred by the Democratic left.

This is not a demonstration against injustice, it is an attempt to destroy civil society. In one demonstration the Mexican flag was waved outside CNN. The Government of the State of Minneapolis is Democrat and the Police force is controlled by the Democrats. This is not the first time the Police in that State have murdered.

George Floyd was a Christian youth worker among African American youth, he was arrested for presenting a forged 20$ note, probably unknowingly. He worked in the night Club and from that would be known to Police. His family are speaking out against the riots happening, as they stated it is not justice for George but pain upon innocent businesses.

> White Americans do not behave in that way, as white people don't worldwide.
Yet historically they have - so what do you think's changed, and why has it not changed for black people?

Josephus,
> Those looting and torching businesses are being emotionally fuelled by Get Up and antifa
I haven't followed the situation closely enough to determine whether Antfa has any role in it, but I'm pretty sure that those looting and torching businesses in the USA are not in any way being encouraged by an organization that campaigns to get young people in Australia to be more politically active, and your mentioning it is the result of your bias against it rather than anything it has done.

Who was George Floyd?

Black Republicans do not loot and burn businesses.
