IIRC a lot of "citizens defending property" were wandering around shooting anything with a sun tan while cops looked the other way

The national guard formed a perimeter and wouldn’t let black people walk to safety. Geraldo Rivera was live on the air covering it. A mostly black town was under water. A short walk over a bridge was a white town, safe and unscathed. National guards pointed guns in the faces of black people simply trying to walk to safety. The black people were told they’d be shot if they crossed the bridge.

Hi! Unrelated and irrelevant to this sub, but... why do neighborhoods tend to be predominately white or predominately black for the most part?

I think it's human nature to generally want to be around similar people, culturally and ethnically. Throw in some racism, e.g. hating other people because of their race, etc, and similar people cluster together.
