This.

History is an important element which is often forgotten. And while currently there's reposters highlighting this oppression and discrimination has been going for 400 years, we can stay in the last half decade and remember the riots in the 60s, the Black Power oppression, or even as recent as 1985 the C4-bombing of the MOVE building in Philadelphia.

My first reaction when the demonstrations turned into riots was "This is not the one yet, not enough anger yet in the system. Maybe next time there may be sufficient anger and we will see not only mixed demonstrators, but everyone also calling out financial equality. This is not the revolution yet, but we're getting closer...".
