Rioting and looting is a symptom, glaring at it as an excuse to ignore the problem that lead to that symptom (I find) is usually little more than an attempt to deny that the problem exists. There's a huge underlying issue in the US that has lead to civil unrest. Some people have used the cover of civil unrest to loot/cause chaos for their own reasons - e.g. you also have the general anarchist groups joining in because they're relishing the opportunity to attack systems of power ... even though many of them have significant crossover with white power groups themselves.
This is what happens during civil unrest, it always has been and it always will be, going back to Rome and beyond.
It doesn't mean that the original cause, the frustration, and injustices that caused the initial civil unrest are not real or are not important and those issues aren't going anywhere if people can't stop themselves from being so distracted by the loud noises on the periphery that they can't (or wont - because they don't actually want to) take 10 minutes to think about that core issue.
