Frankly, I'm uninformed on riots like these, I'd like to read some article analyzing them because I think they're on a different level. They also usually last hours at most, whereas racially-motivated rioting takes place over days, and are much more destructive. Unfortunately, and this is telling, it looks like they happen less now than racially motivated riots, but whenever I have read about them, I have seen the Koreatown Shop Owners story get linked, so I don't think it's as racially charged of a tale as you think.

The Stanley cup riots weren't over in a day, and suddenly it's no longer about it being over riots in general, it's race riots? Which actually proves my point that this fantasy is race based.

So you're saying if a white person were justifiably provoked into killing a black person during a riot, they should be labeled as a racist with ulterior motives?

I'm saying if a white guy bragged on social media how he'd love to shoot black people during a riot and had a history of racist shitposting and actually shot and killed a rioter with the only evidence of a threat being his word is pretty suspicious, by comparison to the way reddit habdles this.

So you're implying that a majority or redditors secretly desire to go out of their way into rioting areas and kill people? Really? Do you honestly believe the common redditor seriously desires committing quasi-genocide?

The majority ones who upvote and gild stormfront copypastas, gun fetish posts about killing "black thugs", and the like in these threads, yup.

Which I really don't see as inherently racist, because it is occurring currently. I mean, you're generalizing it, but it's kind of news right now.

Generalizing black people off the actions of a few looters and rioters is the actual terible generalization and it's the dominant one in /r/videos, /r/pics, snd other subs sending threads to the front page about it daily.

But you're acting like it is a dichotomy, anti-riotting sentiments: would you like that with or without guns? You know, have you considered that Reddit thinks if a Koreatown reaction occurred during every riot, rioting wouldn't happen? Maybe they fetishize it as a prevention, and not some insatiable racially fueled bloodlust?

Because when reddit drags race and guns into every black riot or looting and fetishizes about killing them right as they post a wall of text linking to stats on how blacks are violent and don't father their children and decry "black lives matter", I have to point out what's painfully obvious to everyone but you and some of them.

Once again, guns seem to be the solution only to black riots, and if you think adding more firearms to a riot situation improves it, I don't even know what to say to you. That's only slightly less naive than your belief that there's zero racism behind reddits admiration of Koreans shooting blacks.
