Original Story
Call it whatever you want: The Knockout game. Polar hear hunting. Wolf packs. Black on white crime. Black mob violence.
Whatever: New reports of racial violence from New Haven, Baltimore,
Philadelphia, Salisbury, Milwaukee, Oakland, Minneapolis, Brooklyn,
Antioch, and other places are coming in faster than reporters can wish
them away. No matter how much the Society of Professional Journalist
tries otherwise. No matter how many members of the National Association
of Black Journalists want to convince us differently.
Even Al Sharpton admits the attacks are real and “racist.” Which is
more than the New York Times, CNN, USA Today and others are doing.
“There’s definitely something going on,” said Taleeb Starkes, author of the Uncivil War: Confronting The Subculture within the African American Community.
“And it’s not new. I find it funny that those who dismiss the trend as
hearsay, will also passionately debate whether the predators are Black
98 percent of the time versus 99 percent of the time. Other times, they
note that Blacks are also victimized by Black mob violence. Wait, I
thought that Black mob violence didn’t exist? As a result, society is at
a tipping point. More and more people are refusing to accept the high
levels of pathology in the black community as normal.”
“That sentiment has yet to effectively reach the news rooms or class
rooms. Even so, there are simply too many witnesses, too many victims,
too many police reports, too much video, and too many people demanding
the truth. This large-scale denial will not continue for much longer.
And it is starting in newsrooms, ever so slowly.”
The Yale Daily News, America’s oldest college newspaper, reluctantly
reported seven recent episodes of the Knockout Game in and around the
New Haven campus in November. Not once mentioning all the assailants
were black and the victims were not.
