What everyone always fails to inform people of, while speaking of the riots, is that it was WHITE DEMOCRATS that were the secret 9 and that the daily record was a BLACK REPUBLICAN owned and run print. Republicans recognized that having stood arm and arm with blacks during the war, they were more than capable of holding office and making decisions any white person did. Im sad to say, it is not the same today, with all the social programs and "entitlements"...helping to make some feel like they are owed something and that they shouldnt have to work hard because they dont have a chance anyways. GET OVER YOUR SELF PITY and WORK HARD...the race card has rendered itself null and void now, with a black president being elected.
