Gang activity and thugs pour into the streets of Columbus after the Ohio State Buckeyes won the first ever National Championship tournament in college football. Wait? What? Those were not thugs, they were a crowds of revelers.

That is how the mobs of white college students, residents and fans of the football team were described as they showered the city of Columbus Ohio with their deviant activities. Thousands were on the streets causing havoc as they celebrated the victory and national championship.

Police dawned riot gear and suited up to contain the “crowds of revelers” in their ignorant activity of destroying public and private property, setting fires, and more. Numerous canisters of tear gas were fired into the crowds and a handful of arrest made.

Not once mentioned was the word “thug”, “deviant”, or “pointless” from the throngs of national reports of white people tearing up property for no good damn reason.

However, when black people take to the streets to express their frustration over unarmed, black teens being shot and killed around the country or choked to death BY THE POLICE, we are called everything but the child of God.

Hypocrisy at America’s finest is on display for you to see it in all it’s glory.

Keep this in mind  throughout the week as they talk about the jovial rioters tearing up their own community over a damn football game.
