That is a matter of opinion. I would totally disagree with that. Has there been discrimination against black people in this country over the last 60 years? The answer is yes. But is that the reason those people were rioting, looting, and burning down businesses? Absolutely not! The people committing the violence were just opportunists using the Brown shooting as an excuse to behave bad and loot. I don't think there were too many law abiding citizens (who have been treated unfairly in the past by the police) that were looting and burning down buildings.
