Racist remark, by the way, implying that only blacks resort to rioting.

I was replying to the Rodney King remark a few post above. Isn't this the gist of the thread.

cheapseats

Nope.

Rioting is the gist, rioting is the title.

That my experience with riots was the Rodney King riots does not make riots about being black.

Fear not, as an Obama Loyalist, I'm sure RK77 will cut you some slack.

If you had, i'd doubt you would find it funny.

I wasn't laughing a lot during a riot at University of Md.
during Vietnam.
I was too busy trying to keep my head attached to my neck.

There was implied racism in the OP.

And Cosmic Rocker, Funny also means odd, which is exactly how it was meant in Veronica's statement.

Just being argumentative for grins, or are you just that dense?

Point to implied racism.

It is not even amusing that Bornright assumes that Obama supporters are all black gang members. Most of them have advanced degrees
and make a lot of money -- which is one of Obama's problems, but
that is for another thread.

WHERE does bornright assume that Obama supporters are gang members?

Bornright isn't right that ONLY Obama supporters constitute a threat. It isn't only Obama supporters who are emotionally charged. But it is YOU who infers black.

You, like Veronica, are exposed as having your own racial issues despite all your posturing.

Not only black gang members riot.

See dianekkdi's question about the Boston Tea Party. Or, since they were white, was that Civil Disobedience? I believe it is also safe to say that riots preceded the Civil War, and that it wasn't slaves doing the rioting.
