It's really a shame, because those riots just reinforce a stereotype of African American culture that we've all been hoping would end: that a black event almost always ends in a riot.
The Chicago Bulls win the NBA playoffs? Time for a riot. The L.A. Lakers win? Another riot. I already mentioned the problems here in Montreal with the Carifiesta.
How can we end prejudice and stereotypes if people do their best to thwart efforts like this?
