Where is the leadership of the white community?

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/04/05/1375772/-Riots-Looting-Fires-Break-Out-in-Kentucky-Don-t-Worry-It-s-Mostly-White-Kids

For the second year in a row, Kentucky has been bounced from the NCAA tournament. And, for the second year in a row, riots broke out on and off campus in Lexington.

As fires blazed in the middle of the street, citizens burned lawn chairs, shirts and other items in protest of their loss.

and explain that ALL white people do not behave this way. Repeatedly. Every single time something like this happens. Perhaps Faux News could do a special about white lawlessness.

Or Bill O'Reilly could talk about the white war on peaceful behavior.

They destroy their community and then expect a government handout to pay for the damage caused by their rioting. Why are so many whites in prison? Because they're the ones committing the crimes. White people shouldn't expect to be full partners in a society until they learn to take responsibility for their actions. If they're going to act like children, they should be treated like children.

Until they closed off the part of town with the bars. It took quite a lot of effort to get the bad behavior under control.

Kind of odd that this sort of thing isn't pointed to more when other ethnic groups get excited.
