http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028182490I can't even bring myself to comment at some of the comment in this article. There are posters on there making excuses for the white kids rioting and bringing up past examples like Wood stock but yet we're all of a sudden the bad guys?
I feel like freaking screaming right now

Corey Booker had a righteous post yesterday morning on FB giving stats/polling information from the Civil Rights movement. Folks perceptions were the same 50/55 years ago as today.

I hope you have a good weekend.
