It was bound to happen, sooner or later, that people of all races would finally cry foul when things get blown out of proportion. When riots and protests are not instigated by the community at large but, rather, by outsiders looking for ill-gotten gains (loot), senseless violence, and headlines that simply fan the flames of more violence..
My monastery just published their newsletter and included an article gleaned from Newsweek and the New York Times. I have included an address where you can consider the content for yourselves. Although I added a comment to the article, I have copied the comment here to, hopefully, entice you to read the article or consider the comment in making your own opinion.
"We tend to forget history, Malcolm X and Dr. King, by virtue that history is no longer paramount in the education of our young people. We would hope that a meaningful spiritual morality might take the place of this ignorance, but we are left with the worthless role models of “Reverends” Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. For these two men to refer to themselves as “Reverends” is to do a disservice to those men of true peace trying to change the world for the better, not make it more divisive. Minorities need to stop giving men, like these two, attention. That race baiters like Sharpton and Jackson dare to use the name of Dr. King in their statements is insulting to all races. I think your article is right on target. Good editorializing."
