race riots

I'm not trying to downplay the vast array of impressive race riots throughout America's history (to say nothing of the civil war) but I will point out we got Watts and we got the Rodney King verdict inspired LA Riots in the last 50 or so years and that should count for something.

Now, race riots are technically nothing to be proud of, but when you don't have any quality looting associated with your local sports franchises, you've got to throw something up there.
