White Supremacists Riot in Toledo, Ohio and Anti-White Supremacist Protesters Riot. John Seewer, an Associated Press writer seems hell bent on fanning the racial tension in Toledo. Why else would his sub-title be "Mayor of Toledo, Ohio, Declares Emergency, Sets Curfew After Hundreds of White Supremacists Riot"? Well, which is it Seewer? It was black gang members who were rioting, smashing police cars, and smashing a policewoman's head with a brick. That, according to Toledo's Mayor Jack Ford. Do the people in this video look like white supremacists to you? Mayor Jack Ford correctly blamed the rioting on gangs taking advantage of a volatile situation.

Keith White, a black resident, criticized city officials for allowing the march: "They let them come here and expect this not to happen?" said White, 29.
City officials expected trouble, which's why they were there in the first place, to prevent trouble. They got way more than they expected. Had the people heeded the Mayor's wishes, which was to ignore them and stay inside, nothing would have gotten out of hand, and the white racists would have gone home defeated. Instead, like Mayor Ford said, 'they got what they wanted.' Which sounds to me like the soft bigotry of low expectations. Seems to me if Louis Farrakhan, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are serious about it, they would have their Million Man March in Toledo, and Los Angeles, and New Orleans, as well as D.C. by taking the fight to the people who need it. Shall we overcome or not?
