Clone, do you think the same grassroots unity, that motivated the anti war demonstrations, is the same motivation that is driving the unrest today?

Here, let me preface the question with perhaps this motivating circumstance.
I, tho just a little young in the early 60's, to be part of that movement, recall folks having a reason of a better way toward peace, for all, as the goal.
It wasn't a movement against people, but more about policy (war).

Tho you did see the zealous, like Jane Fonda, embracing the "victims" and leading factions to curse and spit upon the pawns ( those who served ).
Disgraceful, repugnant, and disingenuous actions exhibited, in total conflict to what their stated goal was, peace...
 
I believe she too, became snared in the trap of those forces who politically advance useful fools, for their own devious agenda......
As she denounced, later on in life, of what she did.

Today, I see the motivation more about "self", and promotion of self, as manifest.....
Its not about getting along, as much as "getting my way".

And of course you still have the Wizards of Oz, behind the curtains, using it as a means to advance their own agenda.

Is that a fair assessment, any merit to that?

Agreed  

I can’t see the merits of the violence it doesn't achieve anything positive

In thinking, I believe their is something ‘positive’,
about the violence, riots, looting steeling, PAID  Professional, protesters.

(That is, with the very fast  reporting of such events)

It is showing how  FOOLISH, those people are,
And, dismissing their, voice, because the people watching,
are are getting sick and tired, of the  FOOLISH  Antics,
of the, violence, riots, looting steeling, PAID  Professional, protesters.

And the more, they riot and destroy, and disrupt, and impede,
the normal life of those people.  
The more those people consider them,
(and their position),  FOOLISH.

Think back to the 60-70’s.
2 groups.
The Dumb ones destroyed things in the street.
And the smart ones, became Teachers, Lawyers, Judges, Politicians.

Today, the dumb ones went back to the street,
and the Smart ones, are getting on the BUS.

Soros and friends.

Pretty sure he was involved in Ferguson.

got it

I watched Loving, last night.
Very moving movie, if you never saw it.
This couple, who went all the way to the SC, but for the most part, stayed out of the limelight.
Racial discrimination, tho not new or novel to the USA, is a ugly scar.
It has been practiced, and visited on many different ethnicity, as well, through out time.

How we deal with it, either perpetuates it, or can lend an understanding, and sadly most folks are so entrenched in their own feelings, they perpetuate the stigma.

Sad  

he is definitely  a megalomaniac to be dealt with but how
