If you get classified as a group of unhinged psychopaths then how could you possibly change the world from viewing you as such? I really was proud when I had the answer but the news already beat me too it. Show a bunch of white people joining your cause. So long as you show that white people are also looting it makes the whole dynamic of why people are looting in the first place not such a bad thing. Other countries would hold the prejudice view that a certain race looting their country as a bunch.of animals but here in America we hold a special place of diversity in this world. We made our mistake of being the only homogenistic country started by primarily white people when it should have been started by a diverse nation to ensure that all races could have made this country greater. I’ve read the history books and realized that only white people have ever had slavery, and only white people have ever invaded the territories of other countries. It’s just a shame that this diverse world has let it gone on for so long.
@mitch70 Your last post made no logical sense at all. There is nothing wrong with diversity. It’s what kept things improving. Things were a lot worse when there was segregation because we didn’t know each other or learn from each other.
BTW, there has been one case in which the police themselves started the looting in order cause more trouble. It wasn’t black people starting it, at least not in all case. Again you generalize way too much.

People came to America because they thought it was better than where they were, and they brought prejudices with them. Thomas Paine said it would be great to have a diversity of religion, and in the next sentence said all the Protestant denominations could live together. It didn't even occur to him that "diverse" should mean Buddhism and the religions of people already living in the Americas.

What you are doing here? You couldn't possibly be reading books, but only finding history books that are completely wrong. Did you read one book and decide it represented all books?

There were no Buddhist monasteries or practicing Buddhists in colonial America. Buddhism came during the 1840s with Chinese immigrants. The reason Paine referred to Protestants was that they were the majority in the colonies. Same as questioning why Paine did not mention Scientology.

He did not convene a committee and do marketing research on how to create a diverse nation. That's what you were suggesting. Look at the thing I quoted from you that I was responding to. Do you have the attention span of 4 year old, or what?
It’s not the same as questioning why he did not mention Scientology, since that didn’t exist. Either you don’t know that, so you shouldn’t be commenting here, or you do know it and don’t understand what an analogy is, and shouldn’t be commenting here.
