Hi Colin,
Thank you for your response to my email, it was truly an honor to hear back from you personally. As promised I ordered your new book, “Don’t Make The Black Kids Angry” and couldn’t put it down. The book also brought back a childhood memory (and generated some tears) of my families first encounter with Black on White violence. Here is our story:
I was twelve years old and still adjusting, our family had recently relocated to Houston, TX from a small town in Southwest Ohio, from Mayberry to the big metropolis. Life was very different in the inner suburbs of Houston. I had successfully made friends with kids of just about every ethnic background on the planet but had also witnessed violence that I had never seen before, when fights broke out at my middle school kids went to the hospital and pools of blood had to be mopped up . I must confess that at the time this scared me to the core. A few weeks shy of my thirteenth birthday I came home from school, walked into the living room and the first person I laid eyes on was my mother sitting on the recliner.
I struggled to simultaneously focus my eyes on her bloodied swollen face and her arm in a cast and sling. I remember trying to speak and it was like no matter how hard I tried words would not come out of my mouth. Mom spoke first and said she had been mugged. Our family spent the next 4-5 hours reliving the horror she had suffered that day. She had been blindsided with a haymaker to the jaw and several more punches by a black man while walking back to her office building after having lunch in downtown Houston. Her attacker screamed “you white bitch” as he reigned down blow after blow to her face. After knocking her unconscious, he ripped the purse she was carrying off her arm so hard that it broke her forearm into two pieces. Her ordeal was never investigated as a “hate crime” by the police, she had been deemed the victim of robbery and assault. The attacker was never caught but my Mom was quick to recover, she is a strong woman.
Mom had a corporate career in 1983 and wasn’t about to let him or any man stop her from pursuing her goals.
Colin, as you know there are thousands of cases like this happening every year in America and it’s been going on for decades and seems to grow more common and violent with each passing year. But tragically, when Black on White racially motivated crimes happen, the MSM still refuses to report it and police rarely file hate crime charges even when evidence including racial slurs are witnessed during these attacks.
Thank you for confronting these hush crimes, I believe the work you are doing is our nation’s only hope to realize the peace that will come once we replace lies and propaganda with TRUTH and honest perspective…maybe then America will find the racial harmony it seeks. God bless you my friend.
Bill
