Locked and loaded, maybe these rioters will think twice if they know citizens will defend our cities and states when the police won’t!!!

The wise thing for black people to do would be to try to work peacefully. The more violent things get ... well, black people are like 13% of the population and white people are 58%. If it comes to a violent confrontation between whites and blacks, the blacks are outnumbered over 4 to 1. And I don't have statistics but I suspect more white people own guns. A race war would likely end very badly for black people. Let me quickly make clear that I'm not saying that I want such a thing to happen. I most definitely do not. I'm just saying that trying to spark a race war would be a very foolish thing for black people to do.

And of course, the majority of black people don't want a race war. I don't know a lot of black people, but I've known a few, and all were decent, law-abiding, peace-loving people. I'd guess that the number of black people who want violence and confrontation is similar to the number of white people who want violence and confrontation -- very few.
