Liberal Myths Fanned The Flames In Los Angeles

By Dennis Prager


The only moral distinction between the white thugs who burned down Jewish establishments in 1939 and the black thugs who burned down Korean and other establishments in 1992 is that the black thugs avoided Korean houses of worship. Yet, all one bears from liberal politicians and the liberal media is about the "rage" of the rioters, that America has neglected its black citizens, and that a racist America has brought all this on.

These are all myths; destructive liberal myths; that have helped ruin many black lives, and which have led to the torching of Los Angeles far more than the Rodney King verdict did.
