Wait just a minute, Temple University. Don’t go getting all huffy just because a black guy beat and robbed an 81-year old white professor.
Clearly, the folks running this part of the campus — the ones creating such a stir about this recent robbery — have no idea what is happening in the other part.
Temple University professors solved the problem of black crime eons ago.
They were were proud to talk about it then. And many times since on local TV and radio. I’m not sure why we did not see the same intellectuals on TV just now — explaining to all those under educated reporters why the old white dude got beat up.
It was just two years ago when Philadelphia was in the midst of a particularly nasty streak of black mob violence and black on white crime when Temple decided to do something about it. ‘Which streak was that’ you wonder?
Whichever you choose, people got hurt way worse than the old white professor. Broken legs, broken jaws, brain injuries, even death. Of course death. In epic amounts.
That is why Temple hired three people with “street cred.” That is, long criminal records. Including a gentleman by the name of Brandon Jones.
I did not have to check Mr. Jones’ intellectual pedigree. The journal Diverse Issues in Higher Education furnished it for us: “Brandon Jones knows the streets of South Philadelphia, and he understands what his young clients are going through in their daily lives. He can Brandon understands the high energy level of youths and the need “to blow off some steam.” He says the unrest, however, is fueled by a lack of jobs and community activities.”
And whose fault is that? Certainly not the guy who snuck past security and tried to kill the old white dude sitting in his Temple university office.
Critical Race Theory says two things: One, white racism is everywhere. Two, white racism is permanent. White racism explains every difference between the races.
Including crime. Especially crime.
Which, in a way, makes a lot of sense: Even liberals were getting tired of talking about the same old stuff for 50 years. Stuff that just made everything so bad even they were starting to notice. You know what I’m talking about: family, illegitimacy, crime, education, jobs, income, drugs, welfare, entitlements and blah, blah, blah.
That’s all off the table now. Today its all about white racism and Critical Race Theory.
Many of these books on Critical Race Theory are published at Temple University Press and used in Temple University classrooms. I’ve read several of them.
That’s why I’m not overly concerned about some 81-year old white dude who claims he got slapped around a bit. Maybe he was trying to sell his assailant crack.
Critical Race Theory says the only reason the white dude was getting slapped and the black dude was doing the slapping is because of white privilege that allowed the old white dude to occupy the cushy professor’s office in the first place.
The same theory explains that Temple failed to provide the alleged robber with the recreational, professional, family, educational, financial and legal assistance to get him a cushy teaching job at Temple.
That’s how the blood got on the doorknob and the black guy got on all the grainy police photos.
I don’t want to say the professor had it coming. But let’s face it, without white privilege, he never would have been there. So whose fault is that? Now do you finally know what the President meant when he said “he didn’t build that?”
Cool.
I don’t have anything against against old white dudes. But let’s keep it real: Sometimes they deserve it. Just ask Philadelphia lawyer and family court judge Wayne Bennett.
Sowell liked it so much he wrote two columns about it. Allen West liked it enough to post it on Facebook for 660,000 of his closest friends.
The crazy author of White Girl Bleed a Lot says there is a lot of that going around: Black people beating up old white people. And reporters are pretending it never happens.
Judge Bennett explains it all in just about the best summation of Critical Race Theory you can find in Philadelphia in or out of Temple University. All on his blog, The Field Negro. Which is quite famous in the black blogosphere: Quoth judge Bennett: “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.”
These are just some of the hundreds of examples of racial violence and lawlessness in more than 80 cities around the country as documented in my book: White Girl Bleed a Lot: The return of racial violence to America.

In White Girl Bleed A Lot, Colin Flaherty bravely goes where the major media dare not follow. In short, he tells the truth about America’s otherwise unspoken epidemic of black on non-black crime.
What makes this otherwise grim saga so readable is Flaherty’s magical sense of humor. Among contemporary authors only Flaherty’s fellow alchemist Mark Steyn has a comparable ability to transform dread into gold.

Intermittent Color Blind Syndrome: Why So Many Editors Have it.
Most episodes of black mob violence are not this convenient: Unwitting predators hurling racial expletives. In front of witnesses. In broad daylight. On a busy street corner.
But that is what happened in Brooklyn earlier this month when a black mob assaulted a young white couple. Some cases of racial violence are so blatant and horrific even the most determined editor cannot ignore them.
But other than that, most editors say they do not report black mob violence because they have no evidence of “racial motivation.”
That is what the editor of the Virginian-Pilot said after a mob of 50 black people beat two of his reporters — and he did not even run a news story on it.
These are the same editors who find racial motivation in a steady stream of stories about black caucuses, black churches, black colleges, black businesses, black TV, black radio, black music, black neighborhoods, black history, and other race-based institutions.
But when it comes to an epidemic of black mob violence, these same editors develop a sudden case of protanopia: Color blindness.
Many of these episodes of black mob violence over the last two years are documented in the new book, White Girl Bleed a Lot: The Return of Racial Violence to America and How the Media Ignore it.
Did you read about it? Or anyone connecting the two killings as open season on old white men?
In New Haven, 500 black people attending a party called “An All Black Affair” were fighting and destroying property in and out of a downtown restaurant. Then they took it outside to two other venues, leaving violence and chaos in their wake. No one was arrested. Police were too busy with crowd control, we are told.
Did you you read about it?
How about the 200 black students at the Virginia State University who rampaged through the campus, assaulting people and destroying property. One person was stabbed. One arrested. At Howard University, 9 black people were hospitalized after a riot broke out at a homecoming hip hip concert.
Or the group of black people at the University of Minnesota who robbed and assaulted four separate groups of white students last weekend? Racial violence is an every day fact of life in the Minneapolis area.
Did you read about that?
How about the thousands of black bikers who converge on Fresno twice a year? When they met earlier this month, 13 people were shot, one fatally. The Washington Post said it was a multi-racial gathering. People who were there called it the West Coast version of Black Bike Week.
Read about it?
This list is very long, very recent — and very incomplete.
More people, perhaps, read in the New York Daily News about black mob violence on the young white couple. Only to have the paper dismiss any notion that race had anything to do with the violence. Just some teenagers, said the paper, quoting one of the locals. Race had nothing to do with it.
A year ago, in National Review, Thomas Sowell said he did not know how bad the problem of racial violence was until he read White Girl Bleed a Lot. “Reading Colin Flaherty’s book made painfully clear to me that the magnitude of this problem is even greater than I had discovered from my own research. He documents both the race riots and the media and political evasions.”
Today, I realize I did not know how bad it was one year ago.
Judges and professors know it. Last year in Chicago, a judge ruled the city had to pay $22.5 million because it released a white woman from jail into a black neighborhood, where she was pushed or jumped out of a seventh story window.
In his ruling, the judge cited Routine Activity Theory — R.A.T., which says that white people can routinely expect violence if they find themselves in black neighborhoods.
A professor from Harvard spent all day on a Chicago witness stand talking about it. Ever read about R.A.T.?
That’s why I wrote White Girl Bleed a Lot: The Return of Racial Violence to America and How the Media Ignore it.
The book documents one epic act of black mob violence — and media denial — after another. More than 500 cases in more than 100 cities. Many on video.
Not just Baltimore and Detroit and Philadelphia and Chicago. Places like Peoria, and Springfield and Des Moines, Iowa.
She said she did not know why, but it was happening.
Lori Lavorato got fired the next day for telling the truth about racial violence.
Racial violence returned to Des Moines earlier this year when a mob of 20 black people beat to death a father of six. They attacked others who came to his aid; taking their cell phones and throwing them into a nearby river.
Did you read about that?
If that is happening in Des Moines, what do you suppose the rest of the country is like?
Editors are partly right when they say most of the examples of black mob violence do not contain explicit evidence of racial motivation.
But they are mostly wrong.
Every single incident of black mob violence, by itself, does not merit attention from the national media. But together, they form a pattern that every reporter in every newsroom in America knows about.
But refuses to say.
Maybe that is what Eric Holder meant when he said we are a nation of cowards when it comes to race. But I doubt it. Follow @ColinFlaherty

For the second time this month, homecoming festivities at a black college have been marred by large scale mob violence and rioting.
The latest episode began Friday, when a large group of people tried to “bum rush” a homecoming hip hop concert at Howard University in Washington, D.C., one of America’s oldest and largest black educational institutions.
Nine people were taken to area hospitals, including two police officers, with injuries including a broken leg.
The annual concert is usually free. But this year, Howard charged $5 to see performances from one of the top names in hip hop, 2Chainz.
Many students resented having to pay. They took to local news stations and the internet to say so. The ABC news affiliate picked up the story:
There were sirens, fire alarms, and a mass of people running from Howard’s iconic yard, frightening images for a university steeped in tradition.
But Homecoming turned into a melee on Friday afternoon as a crush of attendees tried to get into the much-anticipated YardFest.
“We’re all upset about having to pay,” says Savannah Bowen.
They were also upset the concert was sold out, leaving many people outside the gates, wanting to get in. Including some with tickets.
After waiting 20 minutes, said one student, they decided they were probably not going to get in — so they started climbing over a fence while people inside who paid took videos with their smart phones.
“They runnin. They hopping the fences,” said one student on video he posted Instagram. “Niggas can’t pay $5 for shit. Guess y’all want to go to the club tonite.”Video by thekid_kinglou
Police wrestled several students to the ground who tried to sneak in. Then came the stampede: People getting trampled. The concert suspended.
All the while hip hop star 2Chainz performed. Though he did not do his most famous song: Start a Riot.
The concert resumed 90 minutes later, with performances mostly about drugs and violence and murder. This is about the tamest lyric from one of the scheduled performers, A$AP Ferg: “run up on a killer then I put him in the dirt.”
The concert was cut short before A$AP Ferg and other headliners performed.
Police have not released any further information on number of people arrested or the condition of those injured.
The violence is part of an epidemic of black mob violence documented in White Girl Bleed a Lot: The Return of Racial Violence to America and How the Media Ignore it.
Two weeks prior to the Howard riots, 200 black students at Virginia State University, a black college, rampaged through campus, fighting and destroying property. Also during homecoming.
One student was stabbed. One student was arrested. Officials locked down the campus for 12 hours. One student said the stabbing “was just an isolated incident that usually doesn’t happen.”
New: Kansas City Black Mob Violence — a tradition.
Councilman Jermaine Reed is not going to like this: Police in Kansas City, Missouri are picking on black people. Again.
This time the targets are “unruly teenagers” from a 95 percent black high school called DeLaSalle. Last Thursday, a bus driver removed five DeLaSalle students from the bus for violence and mayhem.
The Fox affiliate in Kansas City, Missouri picks up the story about how, soon after, large-scale black mob violence broke out — everything except the black part:
A wild fight broke out, and police needed pepper spray to quell the situation.
Les Brown said he was nearby when the big brawl broke out, working in the store at St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store.
“The whole block — the intersection of 39th down past the bus stop — was nothing but kids and police cars,” Brown said.
Brown said it seemed as if people were fighting everywhere he looked, including teenagers who were grappling with police officers. Brown says he went back inside the store, and locked the door to protect customers.
“There were a lot of kids walking down the streets and the police officers told them to go home,” Brown said, “They wouldn’t go.”
And five of them were arrested — three females and two males. KCPD spokespeople say that includes two 17-year-olds — James Olser and Nakidra Hawkins. Both are charged with trespassing — and Hawkins is charged with hitting a police officer.
Everyone arrested is black. Everyone kicked off the bus is black. And everyone fighting in the streets of this black neighborhood was black.
That did not make the local media accounts. And what this reporter calls “teenagers grappling” with cops, most other people call “assaulting a police officer.”
This example of mob violence is similar to what a Kansas City TV station calls a “perennial problem” at the upscale shopping district called The Country Club Plaza: For at least four years, large groups of black people have been fighting and destroying property and causing mayhem on a regular basis.
From 2010:
In 2011 newly elected mayor Sly James said he was going to get the problem under control in six months. A few weeks later, his security guards had to push him into the bushes when he was visiting the Plaza and gunfire broke out 50 yards away. Three people were shot.
Soon after, the Kansas City city council created a curfew. It helped some, but not much. The black mob violence continued. Some of it on video.
Earlier this year, Councilman Reed made a discovery: Of the 34 people cited for violating the curfew, all were black.
Reed did not like that. Reed was the youngest person ever elected to the city council when the then-26 year old took his seat in 2011. But he had plenty of training: During college, he completed the Congressional Black Caucus Institute’s “Political Education and Leadership Boot Camp.” Later, he worked in the resource development office of the Black Caucus and also for the City of Washington, D.C. as a financial analyst.
Councilman Reed was only saying what many people were thinking: There is a big problem centered around black people at The Country Club Plaza.
Some residents says black mob violence is out of control, and has been for a while. Reed says black people are the victims of police prejudice, not the perpetrators of mob violence.
“The data is the data. That’s what I’m looking at,” Reed said. “We’ve got to be honest and have an honest conversation. Say, ‘Here’s what it says and have an honest conversation, as well.”
Reed declined to have a conversation of any kind for this article.
Local talk show host Greg Knapp of KCMO radio said Councilman Reed “tried to imply the police were racially enforcing the curfew.”
Another councilman said black people do not feel welcome at the Plaza, and that is the reason for the violence.
“The fact that a lot of the teens that congregate here on the Plaza just to hang out are black teenagers has largely been an implied or unmentioned fact,” said Micheal Mahoney, a local TV reporter with Channel 9 news. “The big deal on this is the issue of black teenagers down here on the plaza and a year round curfew is something that has been hinted at. Implied. Whispered about.”
One place that did document the racial violence at Country Club Plaza was the book White Girl Bleed a Lot: The Return of Racial Violence to America and How the Media Ignore it.
No one is really sure when large groups of black people started showing up Country Club Plaza. But by 2010, the crowds were so big and so violent they were getting increasingly difficult for newspapers and public officials to ignore.<br?
The Business Journal was among the first to bell the cat, maybe because one of its reporters saw the violence first-hand. Steve Vockrodt described one night as an “ugly scene” of 1000 “youngsters” that was “nothing less than a riot.”<br?
There were assaults, robberies, vandalism, and broken jaws. Nearby businesses closed early, and there was a lot of general mayhem. Shoppers were afraid. When police tried to step in, they were greeted with profanities and disrespect by the juveniles “every time there was an interaction.”<br?
Vockrodt said he was surrounded by fifteen people who tried to steal his bike.
Back in 2010, then-mayor Mark Funkhouser said the mobs were nothing new, and it happened every spring. Funkhouser announced he was darn well going to stop it.
But by August 2011, Kansas City had a new mayor with the same old problems of black mobs at the plaza. Two years later they are still waiting. And no one is pretending the problem is isolated any more.
By 2013, local television stations showed groups of black people at the plaza fighting, running from police, and creating mayhem. “The scenes of teens running and ending up in handcuffs are all too familiar now at the crown jewel of Kanas City, the Plaza” said the Fox affiliate in Kansas City. “Just last week another similar incident.”<br?
Many of the attacks happened in February, prior to the summertime curfew, said the Fox News affiliate in Kansas City.<br?<br?
A homeless man told police he was beat by a group of fifteen kids thought to be younger than sixteen years old. The men and women on the streets say it is a common occurrence.<br?
“It’s just unfortunate. I mean I’ve heard stories about people sleeping under the bridges and people come by and hit ’em with bricks and stuff like that,” said Mike Higgins, a Kansas City homeless man. Another man who calls the streets home, Arthur Scott, told us he was attacked last year after three young teens who asked to use his phone.
<br?
By 2013, two years after Mayor Sly James said he would take care of the problem by the next weekend, it is clear the problem never really went away. “Fights everywhere,” is how one black woman described one episode of black mob violence at the Plaza. She was also upset that police chased her and 999 of her closest friends after they told them to leave the plaza, and they refused.<br?
More police and tighter curfews have not curbed the violence, said the TV stations.
Now police are sending out “community liaisons” to meet with the black people on the plaza and find out what they need. “The answer is complicated,” said the reporter.<br?
One of the black people said Kansas City should open up a place where teens can party. Others said the curfew and more police were not effective because “teens say they hate being targeted and teens never like being told what to do,” the TV station said.
In September, it happened again: Mounted police and members of the SWAT team used pepper spray to subdue and disburse the crowd. KCPD responds to incident on Plaza, uses pepper spray on crowd – KSHB.com
Tweeting from the scene, local NBC reporter Garrett Haake said, “Police and teens tell me after a movie got out, a large group came here to avoid the curfew and a fight broke out. Police arrived and sprayed.”<br?
At one public meeting the mayor said it was time for a dialogue, but most of the newspapers and electronic media don’t permit comments on the topic of racial violence. However, KMBC does. Donovan Tozier commented on that web site:<br?
“Well I work by the plaza and I can tell you I have never seen a group of white kids running around causing problems, I have not seen a group of Hispanic kids running around causing problems.
That goes for Chinese, Korean, or every other race out there. You want to make it a race thing so I am going to call it like I see it.
This issue revolves completely around our young black youth. Getting in large groups and running the sidewalks jumping around acting immature is not what the plaza needs or wants as real shoppers are trying to enjoy a night out.
I don’t blame anyone for avoiding the Plaza when this happens, it is not a safe environment when hundreds of out of control children are running around.”
Another Plaza visitor commented:<br?
I had to cross the Plaza last summer going home from babysitting, and while sitting at a stoplight I was shouted at, called names, and had my car beaten on by these hooligans.
They were ALL black. These are the type of situations that worsen the already tense race relations in this city. The problems on the Plaza are with BLACK teenagers.
Call it what you will – since there are no white teens causing the problems. This is a problem for anyone who enjoys the Plaza – so we all get to suffer because of the lack of parenting of these black delinquents.
<br?
Emanuel Cleaver used to be the mayor of Kansas City. Today is a member of Congress. He does not question who is responsible for the violence at the plaza. He just wonders if the people who support the curfew have really thought it through: “All we are going to do is make a lot of black kids angry and they are going to take out their anger somewhere else.”<br?
If the violence near DeLaSalle Charter High School is any indication, Congressman Cleaver is correct.

We have lots of readers in police departments around the country. Constantly sending tips and sometimes just emails like this:
Dear Mr. Flaherty,
I’m a policeman in XXXXX, California. I’ve seen black mob violence for 23 years.as far as I can remember you’re the first one to actually bring it up in the media.
xxx
Amazing, huh? This letter is from a cop in a city that is liberal by even California standards.
Pretty sure he heard me on the Armstrong and Getty show.
