Why are the rioters overwhelmingly white?

Antifa

Because they are democrats

What police violence? This is just showing us how much we need police, because they’re all that stands between us and the ravening mob. Without the police they will pick us off at their leisure.

The white protesters are, almost universally, young people. They’re the product of an overly indulgent society, where personal responsibility is not the ideal, self-gratification is. Add to that the fact that popular culture has been heavily influenced by black liberation ideology and you have your answer.

Joseph:

These animals are not rioting in their own neighborhood. They are rioting in the places with businesses, and they don’t live there. The destruction is not anyone eliminating their own stores. They are doing it to yours and mine. My only answer would be lethal force. Nothing else stops wild animals. Don’t bore me with excuses for their anger. They are domestic terrorists, and there is no successful approach besides deadly force. Trouble is, the Democrats support them. I wish these Dems to be victims of this violence.

In most of the videos of looting I have seen the looters have been almost all white. Did anyone see the surfboards being removed from the store in Santa Monica, California? *All* the looters were white and they didn’t look poor.

I did see videos of dark skinned looters in the Bronx, some as close as two miles from where I live. With NYPD looking on, not seeming to care. Busting rioting in wealthy neighborhoods but letting poor minority neighborhoods get ransacked is not something that makes one think that the police care about all of us.

Oh Charlie, -“*All* the looters were white and they didn’t look poor.”

And what do you think – how they & their Families vote?
Liberal Demoncrat or Conservative Republican?!?

“there are white supremacists and other groups who for their own reasons are working to make the blacks look bad”

A bunch of Boogaloo Bois have in fact been busted for doing just that. They are the right wing version of Antifa, but better armed. They aren’t an actual organization just a bunch of people with nutty right wing ideas who like to riot.

Oh Charlie -“No, actually not as much; his crimes are far worse, as is the amount that he has stolen over his career.”

If anyone is Claiming that Trump has Stolen something, let them file a complaint with the Right Authorities.
These FALSE Accusations are what’s fuelling the Social Unrest in our Day & Age.

Charlie,

What about what I said was bigoted, in fact, by you labeling my question as bigoted is an act of bigotry.

Does the data support systemic institutional racism?

Does the data support systemic police racism?

Are these questions bigoted?

“I don’t know if most rioters are white, but if they are, maybe it’s because they do not fear being beaten by cops.”

That is one assumption, another might be that they are using these times as a means to do what they want to do, which is loot and riot.

In my area, there were only peaceful protests and gatherings, it was nice and unifying. No stealing, no looting, no negativity.

The looting and rioting obscures whatever positive and constructive message there, it makes people discount the rallies and have a very negative view on all of this.

I personally have not seen anything reported that would indicate that the black people are being beaten by cops any more than white people, not during these rallies and not in general.

the fact that there are 5 times more black people arrested then white means nothing because there are also 5 times more crimes by blacks then whites!!

IN FACT study’s that show that an unarmed white man is twice as likely to be shot then an unarmed black man

To address the original question here, “Why are the rioters overwhelmingly white?”
One of the answers is, that ‘the problem of racism’ and of ‘police brutality’ is far far more an assumed perception of white liberals inventing a cause to fight for, far more than it really exists. All these social justice warriors will fight for their created underprivileged masses even if it hurts them.

See these street interviews for example, where the interviewer first speaks to the white libs to hear their [racist] concern for the ‘underprivileged’, and then he speaks to that actual demographic themselves to get their true feelings.

Dear Som,
“IN FACT study’s that show that an unarmed white man is twice as likely to be shot then an unarmed black man”
Mathematical correction. Twice as often. Given that white population is over four times the black population, a black man is 8 times more likely to be shot by police than a white man. [I used google to find your ‘study’. It says twice as many.] The same mathematical error appears in the first point you made. That point is still valid, if overstated.

Dear Health,
“college or university” If you say so, I would not make such assumptions.
Back to the the sanctity of other people’s property. It does not matter to me the term. Are you so anti ethics, that all those grievances can be dismissed because there is no obvious criminality?

nomesorah-“Mathematical correction. Twice as often. Given that white population is over four times the black population, a black man is 8 times more likely to be shot by police than a white man”
thats not true its taking in to account the percentage of interactions between cops and blacks (unarmed) vs cops and whites (unarmed)

The white protesters are, almost universally, young people. They’re the product of an
overly indulgent society, where personal responsibility is not the ideal, self-gratification is.

Yep, just look at them self-gratifying out there on the street.

But never told anyone to stop looting.

As we all know, the way to stop looting is to say “Looter no looting!” 3 times in quick succession.

Does the data support systemic police racism?

To some extent. If an AI can tell the race of a driver from the transcript of a traffic stop
(with all non-racial factors for disparity ruled out), then you’ve got to wonder, eh?
