So, I send an email to TV news directors saying hey: Lots of black mob violence, if you want to do a story on it, let me know.
It was a follow up to the story I did in Louisville about an epic level of black mob violence there over the weekend — and lots of other weekends.
Comes now Jennifer Keeney from Louisville TV news.
The Emmy Award Winning Jennifer Kenney.
She says I got it all Wrong!!!!!
Colin,
You have wrong information about what happened in Louisville. The violence that happened here last week was NOT racially motivated. There were white teens within the mob, and there were black victims who were attacked. The media is not being silent. We are being factual. I suggest you change your web site to reflect the same.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Keeney

“The violence that happened here last week was NOT racially motivated.”
From Colin: I do not use the term “racially motived.” Mainly because I cannot read people’s minds. But what I do say is this: If large groups of black people in Louisville beat, harass, destroy property, defy police, and generally terrorize the downtown on a regular basis, I say their actions speak to motivation.
This crime and violence is wildly out of proportion. Correct?
But until they start issuing press releases say ‘Let’s Kill Honkies’ you will ignore the central organizing feature of it. Race.
Back to Award Winning Reporter Jennifer:
There were white teens within the mob, and there were black victims who were attacked.
Hmm, 17 attacks. lots of videos. Lots of witnesses. In the grocery story where they looted and beat the workers, you can see a white person there. That person was a victim. Not part of the mob.
I understand how you might confuse the victims and the predators.
This was an overwhelmingly black event. Not just Saturday. But many times before. Recently.
Here’s the challenge: Put me on one of your sleepy Sunday afternoon public affairs shows. Get your nastiest reporters and your slimiest community activist. And you.
And let see if you have the guts to say on the air –TO YOUR AUDIENCE — what you said here to me.
Just say they can take down the conservative hero with the best selling civil rights book in America.
Should be easy,. Real easy.
Then you will be a hero.
My guess.
No way in hell.
Waiting for an answer to this challenge.

P.S. Until then, if I were going to update my story it would be this: Everything was way worse that I said it was.
