I explained this difference to someone recently.

With white people taking city hall it is about symbolic more than force. Often being the quiet majority in many cities across the USA, they put up with shit till they just fucking don't anymore. There was never any danger or even the feeling of danger within that block. Cops saw it as a demonstration is all. Just some people that needed to get out and let themselves be heard.

With blacks.....it is about superiority and getting it by fear as it is all they know. They don't know diplomacy or anything like it. They are accustomed to immediate gratification, and when they can't have it they think it is because of racism or bias. It doesn't occur to them that change takes time.

In season two of the wire there is a part where the union president handed over a shitload of money to a lobbiest and said he was doing it so that he would talk about a grain pier to bring in more work, and that would get the council to talk about the pier and the house to talk about the pier.

Same episode the drug dealer nigger threatened a city builder to get some permits when he explained that you have to bribe people. Drug dealer says I did already and when the city builder said that was for last round.....nigger looked at him like he was crazy.

Lots of thought went into that series to show how the cops, drug dealers, and city all work to make a balance and the niggers always fuck it up.
