Haven’t you been watching the news in the Middle East? Haven’t you seen all the soccer riots in Europe, going back as long as I can remember? Haven’t you see the news of the white Argentinians rioting? OK, maybe you don’t watch international news. How about all the white Cubans who rioted after Elian Gonzales was given back to his father? How about all the old newsreels of white Southerners who rioted to keep blacks from integrating? Are you a sports fan? Maybe you don’t notice that sports fans of all backgrounds tend to riot after championships, Super Bowls and so on. Dr. King said that a riot is the crying out of the unheard. Often that’s true, though the sports riots mostly seem like drunken fools getting rowdy and stupid. But rioters come in all backgrounds. During the Los Angeles riots in 1992, even foreign tourists got arrested for looting. A better question would be why you have such a selective memory.
