So I'm seeing precision address where you see thoughtless and unnecessary "tribalism."  

Hm. Needless to say, but sure I think the right reason to not burn down a building is that it harms innocent folk, not so much that it harms your own folk. This being said, your explanation makes some sense. I still feel he should have left that part out, for it rings like categorizing violence into "bad" and "even worse" violence. Whoever cringes on that has my understanding. Why I found it so misplaced to say is not because I think Sharpton had nefarious motives, but that he should have found a different way to express himself.
