It's not just racism, it's classism as well. Who is causing all the unrest? It's the poor. You struck the nail on the head with "white trash" but the average household wealth for white families is 100k, and for black families it's 5k.

We don't have enough jobs. Wages have remained stagnant for 30 years. Social safety nets are repeatedly cut. So yeah when the white trash are in the same boat they are just as forsaken. But African Americans have been told to give up. We advertise a lifestyle if buying as much shit as possible to line the pockets of those who didn't and became wealthy skimming off the top. We could stop thug culture, but it requires economic oppurtunity, not just for a couple of wall streeters who promise to trickle down any day now for 30 years, but for all Americans. Otherwise get used to the trash and thugs.

I don't even think most of these guys are crazy. They could be making rational decisions based on faulty evidence. Storm roof thought he would be a hero (and is to some extreme racists), Anders Brevik, the guy who flew his plane into the IRS building, Christopher dorner, the list goes on. These people were not mentally ill. They made a conscious decision and carried it out. They felt (in some of the manifestos) that there was no other choice. I mean some are mentally il some arent, but we have problems underlying our society that go ads this behavior in a way.
