Naturally, the response from conservatives...

Naturally, the response from conservatives who love nothing more than lecturing Americans about how breaking the law is righteous and right when it’s in the name of opposing gay marriage or refusing to pay grazing fees, is that when black citizens in impoverished cities that have been routinely terrorized and brutalized by police do it, it’s Bad and Wrong. Not that we’re condoning riots, destruction of a city, or the asshole(s) who sliced a firehose to sabotage the fire department’s efforts to put out the fires.

Unlike white riots, however — because their favorite sportsball team lost or their favorite coach was fired for covering up sexual assault of children or it’s fuckin’ Pumpkin Fest, brah — citizens rioting because another black man or woman or child has been killed, or somehow ended up dead, requires the kind of thoughtful insight and condemnation and Just Askin’ Questions of the right’s most astute political observers.

About how the media doesn't ever report about hate crimes committed by blacks against whites.
