Misinterpration of the American Riots


I have yet to seen a correct interpretarion of the current riots and looting in American cities. It is not against police (which society can survive without police?) and not against the rich, and certainly the poor are not famished and are looting bread. It is simply a standard communal strife, the same kind that occurs in India among Hindu and Muslim communities, and anywhere where two communities live en close contact. The solution is like India: total separation. Or Israel: a tall concrete wall. The South African solution, "separation" (apartheid), failed because the dominant side lost its self- confidence. That is happening in America too: The Government has lost faith in its moral right and has ceded the power to the "other" community - without ever achieving peace. Pic Manhattan today.
