More stories on Knockout Game. More denial.
Preview of a story at WND.com
NBC News and the Associated Press want you to know there is no such thing as black mob violence. Ditto the Washington Post and Philadelphia Inquirer.
Especially in the hundreds of cases of Knockout Game now receiving so much attention in local and national media across the country.
The rules of the Knockout Game are simple: Gather a group of black people. Find a white person. An Asian will do. Punch them in the face until they are knocked out. Or dead. Or your arms get tired.
If you relied on local and national news accounts, you would not know the violence has a racial component. But the videos solves that problem.
Many episodes of black mob violence and mayhem — including the Knockout Game — are recorded on video. Or posted on Facebook. Or even bragged about on Twitter.
Many are documented in White Girl Bleed a Lot: The Return of Racial Violence to America and How the Media Ignore it.
But that does not matter much to NBC and AP and the other media oulets. As part of the flurry of media coverage of the Knockout Game this week, the media outlets trotted out a psychologist who says ignore the video. Ignore the overwhelming evidence of black mob violence. There’s no pattern in the predators. Or in the white and Asian victims:
“It’s hard to excuse this behavior, there’s no purpose to this,” Jeffrey Butts, a psychologist specializing in juvenile delinquency, told the AP. “When someone runs into a store and demands money, you can sort of understand why they’re doing it, desperation, whatever. But just hitting someone for the sheer thrill of seeing if you can knock someone out is just childish.”
This model of denial of the racial component of black mob violence is popularized in dozens of seminars around the country every year at local and national chapters of the National Association of Professional Journalists.
Their advice for covering racial violence? Don’t.
It also echoes what Jesse Washington, AP’s race reporter, told your humble correspondent about racial violence after the acquittal of George Zimmerman for the killing of Trayvon Martin. No such thing, quoth he. At least not black on white.
More and more national and local news outlets are picking up the beat: Despite the avalanche of news stories on the Knockout Game, most still ignore the central organizing feature of the violence: All the attackers are black. And most of the victims are not.
NBC affiliates around the country got into the act this week as well. After ignoring dozens of recent examples of black mob violence all over the Washington, D.C. Area in the last two years, NBC weighted in with yet another shrink:
People with Type T personalities, which characterizes risk-takers and thrill-seekers, are motivated to commit violent acts, like smacking strangers in public, according to Professor of Educational Pyschology Frank Farley.
“Many of the perpetrators may be these T types and one of their things is pushing the envelope,” Farley told NBC Philadelphia. “It’s risky to go up and slap someone in public.”
NBC and its witch doctor may be unclear about the level and intensity of racial violence in the nation’s Capitol. But the readers at the Washington are not. After a recent story about the Knockout Game in Washington, they unleashed a storm of critical fire at the paper for refusing to tell the truth about black mob violence.
Here’s just one of many comments:
“It is amazing how the Washington Post can report about this phenomenon without the issue of racial violence coming up one into the discussion. It is a shame that honesty took a back seat to what is really going on here.”
Philadelphia is center of denial as well as violence. The City of Brotherly Love has been the scene of more than 100 episodes of black mob violence over the last three years. Some resulting in permanent injury and death. Many on video. It got so bad that two years ago, Mayor Michael Nutter went to a black church to plead with black people to stop the black mob violence.
More recently, local media has reported more than five cases of the Knockout Game in Philly. Black mob violence is also such a regular event at Overbrook High School in Philadelphia, that a school staffer recently appeared on the local CBS affiliate to plead with parents and police for help with the violence and anarchy that are an everyday part of life at this black high school:
“It’s mayhem. Students are in the halls, they’re smoking in the bathroom; cigarettes, marijuana,” said a worker at the school, who asked not to be identified. “We can’t contain them and it’s really hazardous for us working and these kids are not being educated at all.”
“It’s a zoo in here. Parents really need to come up here and see what’s going on in this school because it’s ridiculous,” said the worker.
The staffers remarks echo earlier comments from 2010, when a federal judge found that black students at South Philadelphia High School had assaulted and harassed Asian students daily — for years.
The principal said she did not call police because she did not want to “criminalize” the black students.
Even so, the Philadelphia Inquirer dutifully ignores the epidemic of black mob violence in schools, downtown and the gentrified South Philadelphia neighborhood.
“But it’s unclear if the trend even exists,” said the paper this week.
The Inquirer received a Pulitzer last year for its reporting on violence in Philadelphia schools. But if you want to learn anything from the series about racial violence, bring your magnifying glass to read about it — because most of the time the topic is discussed it is to minimize it. Or say how much better it is.
The upward trend of racial harmony was not unclear to Steve Huber earlier this year. When he wrote an article for Philadelphia Magazine called Being White in Philly. Huber talked about the unrelenting racial violence and the fear it creates among white people.
Mayor Nutter said the article was “disgusting” and called for an investigation by the City’s Human Rights Commission.
The Philadelphia Inquirer, again, took a back seat to racial crime and violence: The article was seen as “dwelling on negative experiences that whites had with blacks that often fit into racial stereotypes.”
Racial Journalism 101: Crime statistics are stereotypes. Leave them out and the story is “anecdotal.” Best not to do anything. Class dismissed.
Unless of course you are a family court judge named Wayne Bennett and your write one of the more popular black blogs in America. Bennett has racial violence thing figured out: White people deserve it.
Here is the deal, no matter how violent some young black punks act and wild out towards groups of white people–or a single white individual, it will never make up for all the violence that was practiced against people of color throughout this nation’s history. So spare me the isolated (and high profile) incidents of horror.
Bennett’s comments that black on white crime is not much to worry about echo the remarks of a community organizer who works for Temple University in the heart of the Philadelphia’s high crime area.
Temple hired Brandon Jones because he had “street cred.” The idea was that Brandon would keep it real with the people creating the violence and mayhem. Here’s how, says the University’s medical journal:
“Brandon Jones knows the streets of South Philadelphia, and he understands what his young clients are going through in their daily lives. He can relate.”
Ready for the money graph?
Jones says he understands the high energy level of youths and the need “to blow off some steam.”1
When Brandon is done with his community organizing gig at Temple, he will have no trouble finding work at a place sympathetic with that point of view: The Philadelphia Inquirer. The Washington Post. Or NBC News. Or AP.
