Well, I seen the fires burnin' And the local people turnin' On the merchants and the shops Who used to sell their brooms and mops And every other household item Watched the mob just turn and bite 'em And they say it served 'em right Because a few of them are white, And it's the same across the nation Black & white discrimination They're yellin' "You can't understand me!" And all the other crap they hand me In the papers and TV 'N all that mass stupidity That seems to grow more every day Each time you hear some nitwit say He wants to go and do you in Because the color of your skin Just don't appeal to him (No matter if it's black or white) Because he's out for blood tonight You know we gotta sit around at home And watch this thing begin But I bet there won't be many left To see it really end 'Cause the fire in the street Ain't like the fire in my heart And in the eyes of all these people Don't you know that this could start On any street in any town In any state if any clown Decides that now's the time to fight For some ideal he thinks is right And if a million more agree There ain't no great society As it applies to you and me Frank Zappa/Mothers of Invention - Trouble Every Day 1966, "Freak Out"! albumn
...like I said in the other thread, why was extra law enforcement put into place ahead of time in anticipation of the verdict, only to stand idly by and watch the rioting? ...as far as Obama, it's sad that so many blacks actually believe that he has somehow helped them. I am so sick of "the race card" being played and so sick of so many other people riding the fence on issues because they are worried about how they are perceived because they are worried about being "politically correct". This is not about race and it is not about political correctness...it is about right and wrong...and this shit is just wrong.
Waiting in line at the cleaners a few weeks ago this black man was up front complaining about the price for their services. (In plain sight for all to see at drop off) The female clerk said it's Obama Care we have to pay for it which I found funny. The man was offended muttering to himself as he left. At one time if you bashed a President you were exercising your right to free speech. If you bash the current occupant of the White House you are a racist.
Speaking of being offended I wonder when Sharpton and Jesse Jackson will come riding in to help Mr. Cosby. Always remember "Wierd Harold" in Cosbys routines, looks like Wierd Harold may have been Bill himself.
Blacks seem to be the only group of people that ever play the race card. Here's a thought, if you're looking for someone to blame there's a new thing out called....a mirror.
You know, I went to the same High School out here in the Mojave Desert. that Zappa, and Cap'n Beefheart went to? I cooked Frank a Blood Rare "10 seconds on each side please" Steak. To see him up close and personal, his hair very long, his stache as big as ever, his eyes flaming red, LOL.... He was here in town, way back when, shooting the Cover to the Bongo Fury LP.... Seen Frank play numerous times, but never got to know him. I was lucky tho' to befriend Don Van Vliet tho', as he came into the restaurant I cooked in as a kid, always drawing pics around 3 am, when no one was in the place. Got to be good enough friends to go out drinking with Don/Cap'n, Don was no doubt, truly an effing genius at that. Kept to himself, hard to befriend, yet I had no problem. Probably cuz I poured his coffee, and gave him plenty of free food...WTF...no problem, you want a steak, how about a Sundae to go with that????Yeppers....Moving to Montana sooooonnnn.....!!! Gonna buy me a dental floss farm....!!!
I agree that he hasn't helped them (or anyone) a damn bit... As far as why the cops were out, I had heard the KKK would be out and doing stuff if the decision went the other way... So, something would happen either way, ya know?

Lets just say they...er...weren't exactly greeting approaching voters with smiles. Oh...by the way, there were complaints and grievances filed and the AG ultimately made them go away. Get the drift? Know what I'm sayin'? See what's happening? Familiar with DOUBLE STANDARDS coming from the TOP?
I don't disagree with you at all.... There's an incredible double standard... & the Black Panthers were in my neck of the woods in Philthadelphia....
I was just giving a possible reason why the cops were out.... Could also be they knew the riots were gonna happen... Sad either way
Hopefully the temps will drop down below freezing for the next month. One way to keep those foolish lying effing thugs at home, where they belong....,. These riots don't surprise me at all, I expected as much, as well as the neighborhood being lit afire. Due to the history behind the Jury finding the Rodney King PD officers Innocent. Blacks can't seem to take life if it doesn't bend their own fkd up ways. Which would be illiteracy, brash punks and thugs, who think when their Momma's tell them get out and get a Job Tyrone Shoelaces. Tyrone thinks Mom means, go find a clientele and start making your own crack. Or go rob any place you can....! Only two sociological cultures kill each themselves, and don't need thinning out, as they're doing it to themselves. Vatos vs Vatos, Chollos vs Chollos, or Blacks vs Blacks, or Bloods vs Crips....stand back, watch the chaos ensue, til it stops, then come in and clean up the filthy messes they leave behind. Why anyone should re-build what they burn down is beyond me. If LA would of said F-U, to those Blacks who looted and burned L.A. then perhaps, life would of ended different. As long as thugs know the System will rebuild their commerce, they will continue to burn.... I love how the Fire Dept, was told once you hear shots, get the hell out.....FD does not get paid to dodge bullets. So fk 'em pyros if they can't swallow their own joke......!!!
