Racism is gone.
There is no more racism in this country.
There are, of course, people who make judgments based on race, but the number is so low it is not worth counting.
The media coverage of racism in this country is about exactly what it was 30 or 40 years ago and it will never, ever change.
The virtuous politician's talk about racism in this country is about exactly what it was 30 or 40 years ago and it will never, ever change.

all of American culture's dumbest ideas are are around issues of race. That wasn't a reasoned mind forming those thoughts, it was sheer terror of saying the wrong thing.

@George-K said in Not a riot:
The Mayor of Minneapolis gets it. It's the fault of white supremacists (and maybe THE RUSSIANS!):
Actually, my nephew the cop is friends with a cop in Minnesooota...He said his friend told him there were outside people helping to instigate the rioting and they were using cellphones to organise waves of mayhem.
Wonder who's paying them?...

Yes, the arrest reports indicate these are not local people rioting, not even Minnesoooootans.
We import our rioters here. We get the professionals. Only the best for us, thank you!

Nope.
From the same article:
"Speaking Saturday, Minneapolis police spokesman John Elder, however, said that sometimes people arrested will provide false information. He says background checks are showing some people arrested have records from other areas."Interesting that there are any people from other states coming here to be in riots. I don't usually think of that as being a good guest.

I'm more unsettled at this nation-wide rioting than I ever was by Corona virus. I suppose I'm in the minority about that.

These people engaging in nationwide riots are not social distancing.

Go watch some of the videos. More and more of the violence is by whites.

Wasn't Portland also?
However, in my neighborhood, that's not the case.
