Chem trails...
I like a good conspiracy theory as much as the next guy but chem trails aint it..


for prince to say that when he was a kid things weren't so bad then "suddenly" after the proliferation of planes and jets flying overhead and seeing "chem trails" people got angry and theres fighting and upheaval overlooks one little detail.. basic racism and the affects of a dwindling economy in the region.
On the night of July 19, 1967, racial tension in North Minneapolis erupted along Plymouth Avenue in a series of acts of arson, assaults, and vandalism. The violence, which lasted for three nights, is often linked with other race-related demonstrations in cities across the nation during 1967’s “long hot summer.”
In the early twentieth century, North Minneapolis was known as a place where marginalized people came together. Restrictive housing covenants prevented both Jewish and African American citizens from buying homes elsewhere in Minneapolis, so the Northside became an area where residents from different backgrounds cooperated, built friendships, and even intermarried.
After World War II, however, trust between the two groups began to erode. As overtly anti-Semitic practices declined, housing options and job opportunities opened up more readily for Jewish citizens than for African Americans, straining relationships between previously friendly neighbors.
Accounts vary as to how the 1967 incidents started.
Some witnesses recall the mistreatment of a black woman by police at the Aquatennial parade as the inciting event. Shortly before 11:30 p.m. on July 19, a crowd of African American citizens moved north from the parade site towards Plymouth Avenue. There, they violently protested discrimination and mistreatment by police and Jewish business owners.
Some people in the crowd vandalized, looted, and burned stores on Plymouth Avenue. There were sporadic incidents of arson, rock and bottle throwing, and assault. Someone threw Molotov cocktails at the home of a Jewish city-councilman—Minneapolis Fifth Ward Alderman Joe Greenstein.
The city dispatched police forces with riot helmets and shotguns to control the crowds and minimize the damage. While trying to put out fires, some firefighters worked under a hail of rocks and bricks thrown by gathering crowds.
By the time the violence and looting subsided early in the morning of July 20, approximately ten Plymouth Avenue stores had been vandalized. Silver’s Food Market and Knox Food Market—both Jewish-owned businesses—were completely destroyed by fires. Approximately ten people were treated at local hospitals, and thirteen African American citizens—including children—were arrested. Another round of violence ignited later that day.

to attribute civil unrest to some grand scheme to control the population by spraying chemicals by air rather than basic racism and discriminatory practices is...ridiculous to say the least.
