Almost 30 years after the Rodney King riots, some people who lived through the Los Angeles uprising grieve another surge of racial strife but aren't surprised it's happening.
over the death of George Floyd, a black man pinned down by a white Minneapolis officer, reached Los Angeles, people of color expressed heartbreak but not necessarily surprise — they had seen it nearly 30 years ago during the Rodney King riots.
“I had a chance to see a lot and observe a lot, and I was hoping I would never see that again,” said Maddox, who is black. “I felt that what I was seeing on TV the first night and when I walked through the fires the second day was a civil unrest by people who were fed up believing that the legal system, that the justice system, was going to work for our community,” she said on the 25th anniversary of the King riots in 2017.
“Racial discrimination today isn’t the old KKK racism, but racism of indifference,” says Armour, a black University of Southern California professor who has written and lectured on racial justice, criminal justice and the rule of law. “You’re not motivated by racial animus or spite, you just don’t feel the pain of the out-group members as you do for your in-group members.”
