The turning point on the Rodney King rally for justice was when they announced that the cops were not guilty! They didn't just decide to start tearing up ish, it was because of that decision. At that point, there was no justice and the rioting began. Same thing happened when Martin L. King was killed, they were peacefully ralling and after getting shot, people went bananas. So in both cases, the oppressed said enough at the time that justice turned its back on them. Those that were stealing couches and ish was a result of a bad thing getting worse, since everything was on fire, they decided that a new couch in the crib would be better than letting it burn on the street. Yes we all are oppressed to a degree but as with everything else there is a tolerance level, some are more oppressed than others, you can believe that the oppressed people who lived up in the hills didn't do a thing but think of a way of keeping their ish safe.
I still like his views overall compared to the rest of the candidates but this turned me off too. All of them say one thing to get a vote but end up doing something else , so nowadays you don't know what you're getting until it's basically too late. I think that impeachment should be used more frequently for no other reason than making these mofo's keep their word and do what they say.
MOF
word. I definitely feel you. I remember the riots. I'm 32 so I stay tuned to the news way back when to see what was goin down. (damn I'm showin age) . I know they didn't riot after the video tape. I should have been more clear. Either way, we all agree that regardless of what views from the aftermath, the original incident should have stuck in more politicians mind. Fuckin corrupt ass system.
As for oppression, I'm wit ya on that. Everyone gets there fair share and unfortunately more then others.
@ Sincock:
Universal Health Care in the US would be disastrous. Yeah we have the worst health system. No doubt. But look at what I said originally. "Too much government in my life". I don't want to be dependant on the US to give me health care. Maybe I'm old school, but I would rather work for what I have. Those who can't work for it should be taken care of, of course. But look at the government here, they would make sure you have your appointments set. They are paying the bill. What if you don't go. I was reading Clinton's health care plan. I don't no fuckin mandatory visits! I go when I please. Trust me, some dirty politician would be lookin at a way to fuckin give someone a fine for not going on time. It would be like parking tickets. I see where this would be going. Good idea, but I'm an individual.
And I still don't think Ron Paul is a racist. Like 2 said, he was going by statistics. And lets all agree, many of those statistics ain't the truth. But, we all entitled to our opinions. Thats why this country is so great. But, for someone that has been publicly stating since the 80's that we need more leaders to like Ghandi and Dr King to fight for peace and Liberty doesn't sound like a racist.
