The world burned. Everyone sat and watched each other tear each continent apart, without remorse. Another civil war. A war on race, blood spilt over the color of people's skin. It was senseless, it was heartbreaking and unknowingly, it was planned. It didn't come out until it was already too late to stop the fighting, too late to put out the flames that took over the structures of old and buildings of new. No one knew until they followed the path into controlled chaos led by their own leaders. Little by little, news got out that riots were staged and that deaths that had been publicized and caused such outrage were nothing but a ruse to ignite the fear and rage in people, to cause an uprising. Blacks against whites. Blacks against police. Whites against police. Brother against Brother. Sister against Sister.
