When people riot, it isn't because of one incident, it's because of repressed rage from a long history of abuses. To suggest that a racial group would or should riot because of a single incident fairly smacks of race-baiting.

Bottom line is-suck it up. Until whites are made slaves for 300 years, no one is going to feel sorry for us.

First of all, the article does not specify anyone's race besides the victim. You are assuming that the suspects were black. They may have been, so lets assume for the sake of argument that they were.
That is one way to interpret the events. Another would be: Someone made fun of the white guy's shirt. The white guy childishly engaged the black guy in an argument, instead of standing firm and ignoring the ridicule like a grown man should when escorting his family. The black guy pointed out that they were in his neighborhood, surrounded by his friends, and that the white guy was outnumbered. The white guy ignored this warning. The argument escalated to a fight. The suspect is not innocent of a crime, but the victim is certainly guilty of stupidity. Stupidity is not a crime but, right or wrong, it does occasionally lead to hard lessons learned.
"Wrong neighborhood" is an ambiguous term and is not necessarily a reference to the racial demographics. A gang member could use the same phrase towards a rival gang member who is of the same race.
No, it is not necessarily racially motivated. If a white drug dealer sees a rival black drug dealer working his turf and warns him with the exact same "wrong neighborhood" phrase he is not doing it because he is black. He is doing it because he is on his turf. Not every cri......
Read the facts... It does show that the victim was white and the attackers were black.
NO! It's the ONLY way. Why? Because it says so in the news clip. Why would you say It's an interpreted? It's stait out of the news clip. Didn't you read it?
Stubbs said a man wearing a pink shirt was in line trying to pay for gas when Donald Dickerson, 41, started making fun of him, leading to an argument."The defendant (Dickerson) approached the white male victim," the police report stated. It went on to read, "the defendant told him he was in the wrong neighborhood and he was not going to make it out." The victim said that's when he "was punched and knocked to the ground."
As the man was waiting in line to pay for his gas, he was approached by the suspect.Investigators with the Baton Rouge Police Department say the suspect, Donald Ray Dickerson, 41, walked up to the man and said “you’re in the wrong neighborhood and you're not going to make it out.” Dickerson then began to punch the victim in the face.
How do you "childishly" engage someone in an argument and not stand firm? It's the same thing. He stood up for himself. He "stood firm". backing down and saying nothing would be the alternate. You're not making any sense. What's even more funny is that people actually stared your response
Racism in Louisiana is just as much black on white as people assume it's white on black.... even more so.
If you don't see it, then you need to get out of the house more. I lived on the streets. f you still don't believe it.. Take a trip. I'll tell you of places you can go and visit and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. hell... I'm willing to throw money down on it. That's how sure I am.
give it up.. you just dont get it.

That is the truth, but what makes someone the victor? The victors have written the history of the entire planet to their liking, those same victors are also the majority responsible party for the slave trade era (and most every other world problem). They can lie in the history books, but they forgot to edit the census records. Until the world comes together and calls the "victors" out once and for all, this will NEVER stop, for they alone also fuel the racial fires.

The Rodney King riots did not happen because of a single incident. A short time before the "Not Guilty" verdict in that case, a 15-year old black girl was fatally shot for allegedly stealing juice from a Korean grocer. The killer received probation. This is why the rioters attacked Koreatown, and the shopkeepers defended their stores with automatic weapons. This followed an incident the previous fall in the same area when black people robbed and killed a Korean woman and burned her store. Naturally, the police said these incidences were "not racially motivated."

If black people were prone to riot at the slightest provocation (as your posts seem to indicate), why haven't they done it since? There have been plenty of opportunities.

Please show me where I have said anything about black folks rioting at the slightest provocation.
And I'm also aware of the L.A.P.D. and their crookedness. Mike Ruppert exposed them and many CIA members selling drugs and then busting some of the people for it. Rodney was the match that lit the fuse, its a fact, so I'm not sure what you're trying prove here.

Many people forget the history of racism by whites on the black community.
They are trying to play victims now as if they are innocent of any wrong doing yet both sides are guilty of this even to this day.
