Last week-end in New Orleans, 5 people were murdered and 11 were wounded. Two of those wounded were toddlers and were critically injured. One was permanently blinded. The boys mum was also injured. The City is holding a food fair and concert to raise money to pay for the family's medical bills, recuperative expenses, and necessary remodelling to the family home.

All were African-Americans.

There was no riot!

ANSWER

And, I'm thinking that the entire City is eternally grateful for their absence.

Just as Muslims can die in the hundreds of thousands with little or no Arab getting his keffiyeh in a wad, but let one rocket launcher get obliterated by Israel and the cacophony of rending dishdāshas will cause permanent deafness amongst half of the globe's inhabitants.  Blacks can kill each other by the dozens and the above will say nothing other than the perfunctory:

 'It's Whitey's fault...or da JOOOOOOOOOOOOS!'
