American Apartheid!

Riot or Rebellion? 

Riot: a large group of people act in a violent and uncontrolled way.

Rebellion: an effort by many people to change the government or leader of a country by the use of  protest or violence.

A riotous rebellion? Or a rebellious riot? Sparked by a young Black Man, being manhandled to death by Police, again! Maybe a little bit of both. We have a problem America. American Apartheid.

And where does lawlessness and violence originate? Science tells us lead, yes, lead, is one of the culprits. Maybe people aren't the free agents we think they are? And just who is the victim? A generation of young people poisoned by lead, their brain development stunted via lead paint and leaded gasoline. Youngsters, shaped and formed by their environment. Makes you wonder if all your preconceptions about violence and poverty, and young black males is totally, completely wrong.
