Minorities riot for a cause (LA's Rodney King issue, Miami's riot when the police killed that little cuban kid, NY's riot when the police killed that unarmed Haitian guy, etc.)...White people get drunk and riot because their home team wins the championship...

Those aren't causes...they're events. While they're generally tragic in nature (with the exception of Rodney King...that's just tough luck. The guy needed to get arrested and even restrained...the cops just took it too far.) Oddly enough the REAL causes that they could riot about, they don't...such as the civil rights movement. That was largely a peaceful protest...not a bunch of out and out riots. Revenge isn't a cause...it's a reaction and while it's something everyone has a sense of, many of us no matter what color know how to control it. And again, I'd like someone to show me proof that everyone who riots after a sports game is white. That's an equal opportunity act of stupidity. Yeah...no doubt white people do some stupid shit but we're not offing each other in record numbers OR being incarcerated in largely uneven numbers vs. other nationalities. You know why you know all of those people's names that you listed off? While, on one hand their crimes had a degree of haenousness to them, they may have very well made the news specifically because they were white. As sad as it is, most people who watch Fox news or their local news don't consider a black man commiting a crime news. Hell...I've seen some studies say that while black people make up 12.7% of the population they contribute to over 60% of violent crimes. So white folks aren't the only ones that are crazy. As for COPS...you're right, but still the number of people getting arrested on that show is heavily minority. I'd love to work for that show...they seem to have this 6th sense for finding the dumbest people America has to offer.
