Riots are gone

When the riots subside and disappear into the trash heap of yesterdays news, when the celebrities who decry injustice go back to their gated homes and when the politicians who use these events to get reelected, when the news people see the ratings drop and move to the next big disaster, the poor people who live in low income areas like the Phillips district in Minneapolis will look around and not believe what they see. Neighborhoods which are already referred to as food deserts will see their stores and businesses destroyed and their jobs gone. In every riot the poorest end up losing the most and after the next election they will be forgotten.
