race riots

A lot of news writing is certainly the order of the day during and after the national conventions of both American major political parties. We were presented with a very strange array of people for the Democrat side, ending with an even stranger acceptance speech by former Vice President Joe Biden, who finally, third time lucky (?), stands as his party’s nominee for the Presidency. However, his speech was strange because it was from some other America, and not the one being torn to shreds by the very political party he is in charge of.

Chicago Mayor, Lori Lightfoot, has made a lot of news in recent months. Cursing out her councilman (who is also a very liberal Democrat) who wanted to protect his constituents in his own neighborhood, reviling President Trump and driving business out of her own city’s center, with Macys and Bloomingdales both closing their stores on Chicago’s Magnificent Mile, the mayor has demonstrated the same absolutely insane reasoning process being duplicated in Seatlle, Portland, New York City and all other Democrat-controlled states and cities in the country.

Author’s note:  In light of the current so-called “riots” in Ferguson, Missouri, I thought it might be instructive to give some perspective as to what “race riot” really means.  This is written especially for those  legions of  “holier than thou” white people who may be heard, seen and read as they rail against the “looters” and “rioters” in Ferguson in the aftermath of the murder of unarmed teen Michael Brown at the hands of now non-indicted white killer-cop, Darren Wilson.
