Race and the riots

I have seen reports in the media and on some blogs indirectly suggesting that the riots were the work of Black youth. This is simply not accurate or right. The riots were committed by a group of thugs of all races. I don't think anyone who watched television reports from Manchester can say that those rioting were black? It is scary but simple, the riots were the work of a small group of criminals attacking their own communities, there was no political motive for these vile actions.
