I'm more concerned about possible uprisings and riots over a collapse of the U.S. financial system, than I am about possible uprisings and riots over a black man (not) winning the office of President.
Back in the 1930s, the majority of Americans were used to simple if not financially poor living. So, when the Great Depression hit, the majority of Americans were already tough and practical people. Not so with today's last two or three generations, who've grown up amidst abundance, prosperity, and over-consumerism. Furthermore, there is a sense of entitlement and individualism amongst the last two or three generations, which did not exist amongst the generations hit by the first Great Depression.
