I lived within 4 Blocks away when this riot took place, Just as a boy watching the Fires and Police beating people and stores being broken into. I saw the Military throwing some type of smoke, This was a nightmare that still haunts me just how people can get so out of control, At 12yrs old Race wasn't what was going threw a young mans mind, it was how can people white or black tear down the place that they live in that fashion, I spents nights watching them tear it up, and months rebuilding it.

People ask, why do they burn their own neighborhoods? First of all, most black people don't own anything in their neighborhoods including the houses that they live in. The home are owned by the white owned banks or the poverty pimping Jews who only rent to blacks. The stores and business are owned by foreigners who pump vices into the black neighborhoods such as beer, wire, and spirits. The so called black neighborhood serves many interests, but little true interest of blacks.

that's what you get when you repudiate and humiliate an entire race for decades and decades on end... and do no forget that earlier race riots of the 1920's 1930 had the army having to come in to protect blacks from white hate.... maybe the 1960's was payback time ?
