What will be ACCOMPLISHED IN 'NATI?

[The Original Ape]

Will rioting drive home our point of demanding respect as a people? Is there any other way for us to get people to value our collective life? If the crowds of people in Cincinnati respected you as their leader, what would you tell them?

Take their asses home!!!!! Destroying the city will accomplish nothing! In fact, many of the business destroyed were owned by blacks.

Based on the information I saw on television, the city is 45%(?) black. Surely, destroying the city will effect not only black business but also blacks that will be out of work because of the rioting.

what's up frat,I live here in the Nati and graduated from high school and recently college here.The city's riots or "unrest" as some of you may know it as has been a long time coming.I was not in the riots bit a few other greeks and myself did go into the downtown area and talk to a few people during the riots.People in this city are very seperated by skin color as well as income and the blacks in this city are tired of it.I come from a upper middle class family on the upper eastside but i can feel the pain of my brothers and sisters downtown but the worst has yet to be seen.The question was what did the riots accomplish?They got the national medias attention.

You got that right! I hope all our people take note of what happened there, and how important it is that we stop what we're doing and see ourselves as true brothers and sisters; cause we can't survive if we don't acknowledge our commonalities and come together.
