Martin Luthor King = Black.

I just think of him as a man who forght for the rights of people.
Regardless of his colour, Martin Luther King was fighting for the rights of people. A fight that I agree with. A fight where, AFAIK, the rioters did not attack members of their own community.

IF the rioters last night had fought in Westminster, then I'd agree, they were targeting the government who you say they probably have the grievance with. They targeted areas (last night anyway) where there are a lot of mobile phone, consumer electronics and sports shops. They also targeted their own communities. In some cases, they targeted poor areas while saying they were targeting the rich.
