"Why was this large open pool of gasoline not on fire last week? All that happened was someone lit a cigarette"

People have lit many cigarettes for quite a while but nobody seemed to care until a certain one.

The final spark was one that has no excuse and was essentially a public lynching in broad daylight while onlookers openly recorded and pleaded for it to stop.

There are few things more loaded with terrible, horrifying historical imagery in America than a white police officer lynching a black man.

And I promise you, the significance of this horrific imagery was not lost on a single black American.

Really? People didn't care when Eric Garner was murdered? When Michael Brown was murdered? There were riots then too.
