What if tptb is planning all this brouhaha so that something drastic happens to declare martial law?
Way to go. Patting you and your pals on the back.
Your country is folding, your ghettos becoming more dangerous by the moment.
And you "folks" are quoting rap songs?

Because there is a certain social context behind quoting rap songs, especially rap songs of that nature.

I guess you're not getting it. Most of the twitter people are QUOTING word by word a popular hip hop song at the moment. They aren't being serious....
No, I didn't miss it.. And once again, the black panthers consists of like 10 people. They have no power, no following, and are not worth giving attention to. But of course the media loved them, and hyped it up because they love any opportunity to show scary mad black people to create racial division and fear monger. As you can see by many posts in this thread, it has worked.
Left leaning type riots? All the riots you just named had nothing to do with politics, it had to do with police brutality that people were protesting, which transformed into a riot.
Right wing extremists commit the highest incidents of domestic terrorism in the USA, which is exactly what an armed uprising would be.

( People: we have been reduced to debating about what other people Tweet. Is that not sinking in for anyone else? Since you can buy Twitter followers - it means any ONE person - or small group of people - can seem disproportionately large instantly and cheaply. IE - Tweets need that extra bit of discernment. The potential for abuse is just staggering! )
... Now I was saying about Twinkies...

The context is not serious. If you repeat a line from a movie does that mean you're going to go do whatever the line said? NO. lol, It's called reciting lyrics, people do it endlessly on twitter and in their heads.
Uh-Oh.. Don't look now...but the demands of the King Riots were change in the POLITICAL LEADERSHIP of the Los Angeles Police Department. Same with the Miami-Dade Metro Police when that lit off several years ago.
To say the riots weren't political is looking at the events with blinders and a VERY narrow focus, IMO.
To hear someone on the left say the NBPP is small, irrelevant and meaningless is one I'll record for future reference. I doubt we EVER hear anyone say such a thing when the Panther's say or do something the left LIKES.
I sure didn't see ANYONE saying they were irrelevant and meaningless when they led the charge in Florida, eh?
I'm exceptionally careful about who I outright call a Liar. However much I think it fits. There is always the chance of misinformation...my OWN included.
"The START database on terrorism in America, which tracks all incidents of political violence, shows that most attacks in the last two decades have been on black churches, reproductive rights facilities, government offices, and individual minorities. And those have been committed mainly by right-wing extremists. From 1990 to 2009, START identified 275 "homicide events'' that killed 520 people and were committed by right-wing ideologues. There were many more incidents of destruction of property, nonfatal attacks, and other acts of thuggery by white supremacists, private militias, and the like."
Washington (CNN) -- The word "terrorism" in the United States usually brings to mind plots linked in some way to al Qaeda, while the danger posed to the public by white supremacists, anti-abortion extremists and other right-wing militants is often overlooked.
Right-wing extremist individuals over the past decade in the United States were as likely to use violence as a means to express their political or social beliefs as those motivated by Osama bin Laden's ideology. Even more worryingly, during the same time period, right-wing and left-wing extremist groups and individuals have been far more likely to acquire toxins and to assemble the makings of radiological weapons than al Qaeda sympathizers.
