I, for example, used to contribute to the United Negro College Fund.

Since I saw the black college students cheering, I haven't given a cent to that charity or any other charity targeted to black Americans. I'm rioting.

If I'm doing it, a lot of people are.

If you know that millions and millions of people of a certain race in your country cheer wildly because one of them got away with brutally murdering two people of a different race, it changes you. At least it changed me.

It wasn't the verdict that did it. That was only twelve people.

It was the approval -- the celebration -- of the verdict, and by implication of the murders, by a large percentage of black Americans that changed me.

That's one example.
