White Girl Bleed a Lot — Knockout Game edition

Another letter from Louisville. Lots of racial trauma out there.

Lots:

 

Dear Colin,

Black mobs are rampant in Louisville and the crime map is only showing what was recorded.  When a black mob crime happens and the police show up, they tell you that they cannot take a report unless they witness the event.

So when you are looking at the crime map, keep that in mind http://www.metromapper.org/map-louisville-crime-recent.php

Blacks have been causing problems for years, ever since bussing started in the 70s and they have progressively gotten worse.

I quit school in 10th grade because I could not ride the bus or attend class without being attacked by blacks on a daily bases.  My son quit going to school because of them and attended a night school to avoid the blacks just to receive his diploma.  I finally got a GED and went to college, got a AS degree on my dime.  It took me 4 years to get that degree because I had to work a full-time job while attending.

Blacks have receive “unearned” diplomas and free college degrees, and get the best paying jobs, but the whites have to do all the work because the blacks don’t really know anything about the jobs they hold, all they have is a fake degree.  I quit a good job because of being harassed by lazy blacks who get away with doing nothing only because they are black.

Whites who get along with blacks and act like them, “wiggers”, only do so because it is easier than fighting hoards of them, “if you can’t beat them join them”!

I can’t act like them, think like them, so that means I have to avoid them.

My mother and father were harrassed and mobbed by blacks, my mother killed my father on accident defending them that day.  My mother was imprisoned and my son has psychological issues from watching his grandfather die that way.

My boyfriend of 25 years grew up in downtown louisville, he bought his house from his mother and father.  He owed no mortgage.  Old Louisville was a beautiful place, victorian homes, well kept yards, history.  The blacks swooped in and moved into the houses on both sides of him, they converged on his neighborhood and in less than 5 years time Old Louisville became “The Hood” of ” The Ville”.  All the whites were being forced out.

The new black neighbors on both sides of him were and still are major drug dealers.  They threw loud, wild parties of thousands of blacks in the street and the empty lot across the street.  It went on day and night.  Trash everywhere. The drug dealing was rampant and out in the open for anyone to witness.  These blacks have connections to prominent city officials. Everyone from water company employees in public utility vehicles and public transit buses to popular radio station owners.

Several of parties were propelled by certain city officials, fliers were created, port a potties brought in, the entire block was roped off with yellow tape.  The parking spot in front of my boyfriend’s house was turned into a “handicapped” spot for the “pretend” handicapped drug dealing neighbor, creating a drive thru space for all their thousands of “pretend, parking pass recipient, handicapped” drug buyers.  My boyfriends elderly mother was not eligible for a handicapped parking sticker and had to walk a block to visit.

My boyfriend was determined to stand and fight the crime, he was angry that if he did move he would not be able to sell his house for it’s true value.  He was ready to retire, he had planned on living his live out there in his paid for home!  He did not want to start over, use what little money he got for selling his house to blacks as a downpayment for a similar house elsewhere, and have to make house payments all over again.

He began fighting the drug dealers and video taped them selling their drugs right out in the open.  He sent the tapes to the police.  Fearing for my boyfriend’s and my life, I wrote a letter to the Police Chief, the Mayor, and the Governor detailing the drug problems and they finally made an attempt to bust it up.  They caught one of the dealers with thousands of dollars and drugs just as he left the neighbors house. He was sent to prison for 8 years.  The problems continued, and got worse and worse.

I was afraid for my boyfriend, myself and my son. Threats of death were being made  to my boyfriend by the drug dealers and I became afraid the drug dealers would come after me but more afraid they would retaliate against my son.  After 25 years I left my boyfriend.  We remained friends for a while but after he saw I was not going to take him back unless he moved our relationship became strained.  I gave him my Akita for protection when we separated and wished him luck. Sadly, after the drug dealer who was busted served his eight years my ex was murdered.  Beaten to death walking my dog across the street from his house.  The crime has never been solved but I know it was the black drug dealers next door.

Prior to my ex being murdered I married and we moved out of Louisville to escape the nightmare. I was forced to foreclose on my home and file bankruptcy to cover the loss.  I was never going to be able to sell the house for what it would have been worth before the blacks converged on the area, let alone what I owed on the house! And those murderers knew where I lived.  I still fear everyday for my son and his children, but they too have since moved out of Louisville.  I am still looking over my shoulder, wondering if any of us are far enough away.

We now live in a town of less than 1000 mostly white people.  The park behind our house is pristine, beautiful, clean and quiet.  It is paradise compared to the nightmare we left behind.  Sadly, I noticed last summer on two occasions hoards of around 200 or so blacks visited the park for the day.

They have so far been quiet and clean, “feeling it out” but they have to break the rules somehow, so they park on the grass around the picnic shelter instead of in the designated parking areas.  It won’t be long now!  I have seen it happen too many times, next is the loud rap noise, the trash and the crime. We have started downsizing and packing for our escape from insanity.  Know anybody that wants to buy a house?

We have decided that we will never again buy a house, it is best to just rent so we can pick up and move quickly. We are not sure where we are going, hopefully there is still a place for “us new to the population of poor and middle class whites” to live peaceably.

Recently, since the last mob violence and crime wave downtown, the Mayor of Louisville, the Police Department and Metro Council have decided that they need to appease the blacks who are creating all the problems by providing them with someplace to go, something to do.  They want to build the troublemakers nice new community centers and stock them full of shiny new computers and games systems. They are providing these black mobster troublemakers with free movies and entertainment on the white taxpayer’s dime!

But what about the white victims of all the terror and crime produced by these black mobsters?  What about all the white families who are continually suffering through all this violence? What appeasement do we get?  Where are our reparations?

Is the only choice left for whites the sign up for the trip to a new life on Mars?

Who is responsible for black mob violence in Louisville? YOU ARE.

Before and after the Attorney General said black children were victims of racism is schools, racial violence was bursting out all over the country. Most involving black school children.

And more recently, NPR told us who is responsible for all this black mob violence.

YOU ARE.

An article exclusive to this web site.

The Quiet Riot Holder Did Not Talk About

By Colin Flaherty

Black children are victims of racial discrimination in school, says the Attorney General. Yet one week before and after his press conference on racial disparities in discipline in March, black mob violence and lawlessness flared up all over the country. Most of it from school-age children.

The recent black mob violence in Louisville two Saturdays ago was a lot worse than anyone first reported. By the time this three-hour crime spree was over, police said there were 17 assaults and six hospitalized. No one counted how many trash cans were thrown, cars stomped or locals terrorized.

Several victims said police refused to take a crime report of their assault.

And, and oh yeah, t’s been happening a long time, said the owner of a local grocery store whose business was hit on video by a group of 50 black school-age children stealing and looting and beating their way through his shop.

The assistant police chief in Louisville wrote a memo warning her superiors about numerous recent episodes of violence from groups of “black males” throughout the city. And how they should prepare for more. Despite several reports of black mob violence in Louisville over the last several years, city officials say that was the first they heard of it.

In Kansas City, a few days before the Louisville riot, 200 black people fought and pushed and assaulted and destroyed property at the local zoo’s second annual Free Day. The same thing happened during the first annual free day last year.

Kansas City mayor Sly James got testy with a local reporter who asked if this mob violence was in any way related to the dozens of episodes of black mob violence at the upscale Country Club Plaza.

When Mayor Sly took office in 2011, he promised that frequent black mob violence would be gone within 6 months. It just got worse — including an episode where a gun was fired on the Plaza 50 feet from where he was standing. And oh yeah, it has been happening there a long time.

In Philadelphia the day after Holder’s announcement, a group of black teenagers attacked three college students from Temple University in two separate episodes 15 minutes apart — hitting one in the face with a brick. When another of the victims went to the police station right after her attack, she said police did not want to take her report.

Perhaps the student would have been better served had she sought help on campus: Temple University is a center of scholarship for Critical Race Theory that says white racism is everywhere. And white racism is permanent.

Racial violence is inevitable because white people deserve it. That is what a Philadelphia family court judge, writing in his blog The Field Negro,  recently said about a Thomas Sowell column on the book White Girl Bleed a Lot: The Return of Racial Violence to America and How the Media Ignore 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.”

That won’t help any of the victims get justice. But it will help explain why some do not take black on white violence seriously.

Also in Philadelphia a few days after Holder’s announcement, an anti-violence counselor was beaten and left unconscious after black students attacked him. And oh yes, violence against teachers in Philadelphia schools has been happening a long time.

In Seattle, the night before the Holder announcement, a human rights law student approached a  group of black teenagers on a  commuter train with his hands open and palms up in a gesture of peace and goodwill. He explained to them he did not wish to fight  but he did want them to stop bothering the other passengers who objected to their smoking.

They broke his jaw. Then laughed. And oh yeah, its been happening there a long time.

In Dover, Delaware, the night before the Holder announcement, hundreds of students from a black college fought, destroyed property and defied police in and then outside of a local casino. And oh yeah, its been happening there a long time.

In St. Louis, two nights before the Holder announcement, a large group of black people fought and destroyed property late into the night. The second such occurrence in less than a week, said the local media. And that does not count the 50 black people rampaging through the downtown, threatening, destroying property and creating mayhem soon after. And oh yeah, that has been happening there a long time.

In Covington, Kentucky, less than one week after Holder’s announcement, police arrested 60 suspected heroin dealers, almost all black. In Chattanooga earlier this year, black community leaders complained of racism after a similar operation took down 32 of the “worst of the worst” put all their pictures on the front page of the local paper. All of them black.

In Rochester, the same day that Holder made his announcement, a large group of black students fought and destroyed property, at Frederick Douglass high school. Five were arrested. And oh yeah, its been happening there a long time.

In Orlando, the night before the Holder announcement, police used pepper spray to break up a large group of black students fighting and destroying property in the downtown.

In Louisville, prior to the riot, a group of black students attacked a 41-year old man. He pulled a knife and killed one. On video. Several days after the riot, a local TV station reported, oh yeah, that’s been happening on Louisville mass transit for a while.

Also in Louisville, a week after the Holder announcement, police announced that a group of black people have been robbing, assaulting and raping near the University of Louisville campus more than 40 times over the last two months.

In Memphis last week, a mother was arrested for leading her daughter and a large group of black students to the home of white girl to assault her.  And oh yeah, that had been going on a long time. School officials called it bullying.

In Paterson, New Jersey, five days after Holder’s announcement, police responded to reports of a large fight at a school involving at least 20 black students. And oh, yeah, the teacher’s union said that happens on a regular basis.

In Cleveland, before and after Holder’s announcement, groups of black school-age children are responsible for a series of assaults and robberies — several on video — connected to the city’s mass transit system. And oh yeah, that has been happening for a long time there.

In Cincinnati one day after the Holder announcement, a group of young black women beat and robbed two sisters on video. And oh yeah, that has been happening there a long time.

Madison, Wisconsin is the site of regular episodes of black mob violence. Police say an attack earlier this month was the worst they have seen in recent memory. Six black people broke into a home and robbed and beat the occupants. They sexually assaulted one of the residents, who was six months pregnant.

Five days after Holder’s announcement, 2500 people of all races from around the country met in Madison at the annual White Privilege Conference. They say black and white people commit the same crimes in the same amount, but because of white privilege, black people are arrested more often.

From NPR in Louisville

From NPR in Louisville

Every cop in America — black and white — says that is not true. But they say it anyway.

Glen Singleton has a company that trains teachers in hundreds of school districts about how to recognize their white privilege. And how white teachers create racial disparities in the classroom. For those who wonder why violence is such a regular feature of life in schools with black children, Singleton breaks it down in his book Courageous Conversations.

“White educators are prone to wondering why black and brown boys are prone to fighting in school,” he writes. “They question why violence is taught in homes of color. Missing from this analysis however is how these boys might be affected by growing up in a White-governed country which threatens young men of color at will, distrusts their ability to succeed and follow the law, and allows daily racial stress to mount in neighborhoods, schools and classrooms.”

One recent victim of the Singleton treatment gave an insider view:

“I am hesitant to comment because of the nature of my job, which is eaten up with left wingers,” he said in an email. “I will say that Singleton alone created a hostile environment at the session I attended, where it was assumed that all whites were racist and had no business teaching black kids.

“I have twenty years as a coach and teacher in black schools, so it was a surprise to me that I was racist and unfit to coach black kids. It was an insult a minute, that prompted “Amen” from some of the blacks in attendance.

“I, along with the majority of whites I spoke with, were completely insulted, and this was the intent, as Singleton strode to the microphone at the beginning and said he was there to “make us uncomfortable.”

“It was ridiculous and lasted for three hours. Black coworkers were taught to look upon their white coworkers with a suspicious eye. It was a mess.”

A few days after the Louisville riot,  community leaders attened a de rigeur community meeting. The consensus about the cause of the violence: White Racism. Just ask NPR:

“We really need to address white people’s bigotry,” says Chris Hartman, director of the Louisville’s Fairness Campaign. “That is white people’s work, it just has got to change.”

Anti-Racism Group Calls for Engagement, Not Police, To Address Louisville Downtown Violence | WFPL

 

 

Let’s play a game about racial violence.

Let’s call it Top This. It’s easy.

Every day I read, hear and watch accounts about relentless white racism. Relentless white injustice towards blacks. Relentless white privilege.

But that’s it. We rarely hear about the victims of black violence — which of course is exponentially of out of proportion.

So let play Top This:

The first person mentions an example of white racism. White privilege. Defined as broadly as you like.

The second person has to top it.

Example:  duPont heir escapes Delaware prison after being convicted of raping his 3-year old daughter.

A kid I grew up, we called him Duck, just sent me this email:

“Delaware: Home of 1% Baby Rapers!  All Rich People Rape Babies, Walk Free! ‘Go Ahead” sez Judge, ‘Baby Rape is OK in Blue Hen State!’ “
That’s the theme of my new book: 
“Delaware: Where Every Rich White Man is a Rapist!”   
Can I get a blurb?

Duck likes to send me snarky emails, denying that black mob violence or black on white crime is a problem. Or that everyone does it. So why single any group.

Which is weird because he knows what the problem is. Having been a victim of it many times. And he knows many victims of it as well.

 

Now, I’ll top that: This week, a black man was arrested for stabbing and killing a white man after the white man let him know he was driving around at night with his lights off. His name was Michael Leger.

Ever hear of him? Didn’t think so.

 

Duck loses.

 

Duck.

Duck. He’s the snarky one in the middle.

Louisville has a problem with chronic black mob violence and black on white crime.

And people in Louisville know it.

Here is the latest: A crime spree near the campus of the University of Louisville: 40 episodes of assault, robbery, rape, etc. etc. etc. — all in the last few months.

So here is the latest story, which I posted on my Facebook page.

And if you get around to it, give it a LIKE.

 

 

I get lots of letters from cops. Especially from Chicago. Here’s the latest:

 

Colin,

In Chicago, we have to do this…
What the general public doesn’t know is that cops give breaks to BLACK people more than anyone.

White Girl Bleed a Lot -- Knockout Game edition

White Girl Bleed a Lot — Knockout Game edition

As a copper, I stop someone everyday who doesn’t have a

  • -Valid Drivers License
  • -Car insurance
  • -Baby seat.
  • -Open alcohol
  • -Small amounts of drugs….

Ask any copper and it’s just too much paper work to make an arrest.

Yet, 1or 2 politicians get pulled over and they wanna claim racism.   Well in my neighborhood, the only people that commit crimes are the gypsies and blacks…….

And cops have probable cause to make a traffic stop on someone NOT knowing their race and now they are racist.

Un-Real!!

PASS THIS AROUND!

This story has it all: Violence. Denial. Deceit. 

This is absolutely the craziest story I have ever read on black mob violence.

It’s about Louisville: When the riot happened Saturday night, city officials and the the local media said it was small, isolated and not- racial in any way.

Now comes a local TV stations with an explosive memo from the police department.

Racial violence has been happening a long time in Louisville. It is not isolated, but all over the city.

And police knew all about it.

 
wave3.com-Louisville News, Weather
 From Wave 3 in Louisville:

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – An email from a deputy police chief suggests the Louisville Metro Police Department feared escalating attacks along the waterfront long before chaos erupted Saturday night.

LMPD Police Chief Steve Conrad and Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer’s office are continuing to call what happened an aberration, but an email and the report that goes with it, revealed some on the police force saw the problems building.

In the hours that followed Saturday’s mob violence Deputy Chief Yvette Gentry wrote the document titled “Flash Mob Violence.” The document made it clear the department had been concerned about the issue for some time, stating, “Over the past few months, violence has been an issue that has left numerous law abiding citizens victimized, some with moderate to serious injuries.”

It appears her boss, Chief Conrad, didn’t get that memo.

“This is the first problems that we’ve seen in that area that I’m aware of since the first of this year,” Conrad said.

At a press conference about the attacks on Sunday night, Conrad said, “It was an exception to the normal experience we see at Waterfront Park.”

The next morning, the risks were downplayed once again.

When asked what he knew about problems that occurred at Waterfront Park in the past Conrad said, “Really not much.”

But in the email that described the incident sent to the city’s public safety group, Gentry made it clear the threat had been building for some time.

“Over the past several weeks the number of incidents are rising and the damage and violence is becoming more severe,” Gentry wrote.

“It says to me that there was a level of awareness in LMPD that there was an ongoing and growing problem,” said Louisville Metro Council Member Jerry Miller (D-District 19).

When asked to review the deputy chief’s letter Miller responded and said the message is clear, “That they’re being overwhelmed. They just can’t handle flash mobs.”

The document even lists specific problematic locations in addition to Saturday night’s flash points, including much of West Broadway and parts of the California and Parkland Neighborhoods, painting a very different picture to judges, prosecutors and other officials than what the city was saying to the public.

Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer said, “This was an extraordinarily unusual incident nothing like this has happened in decades.”

A spokesman told me today “the Mayor’s statement is accurate. We have never had an incident like what happened Saturday on that scale”

We asked Sgt. Robert Biven, commander of LMPD Public Information Office, if he thought police could have been more forthright.

“I think we were forthright,” said Biven. “Twenty one incidents, seven robberies, four assaults take place in a matter of two hours with multiple groups that had dispersed the park, that was something that was very unusual to the community.”

Still, the document contained a chilling warning stating, “The major concern is that someone is going to get killed during an incident. That someone could be a very young child.”

In recent weeks, LMPD said it stepped up patrols in some of the hot spots mentioned in the Flash Mob Violence summary. Mostly in response to escalating tensions after the fatal stabbing of a teen on a TARC bus.

Black mom leads black mob attack against white family in Memphis.

Local media says it is bullying.

How about this: Black mob violence.

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.

JenniferComes now Jennifer Keeney from Louisville TV news.

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,

STRAW MAN ALERT.

STRAW MAN ALERT.

“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. 

 

 

So I send some media folks an email this morning. Here’s one letter and one honest reply:

Mr. Chris Huston:

re: Racial Violence breaks out in seven cities. ALL LAST WEEK. No one connecting the dots.

Hi Chris,

Racial violence hit seven cities in the last week. Yet no one is talking about it.

The black mob violence in Louisville Saturday night was a lot worse than anyone first reported.

But it was not the only case of black mob violence last week. It might not even have been the worst.

In Louisville, by the time the 200 black people were finished rampaging through the downtown area, 17 people were attacked, six hospitalized, cars were trashed, trash cans thrown, property destroyed, and many, many people in Louisville were quietly admitting this has been happening there for a while.

Similar cases happened in Kansas City, where hundreds of black people at a Free Zoo day fought and fired guns. And oh yeah, its been happening there a long time.

In Philadelphia, a gang of black people attacked two college students, hitting a woman in the face with a brick. And oh yeah, its been happening there a long time.

In Seattle, an aspiring human rights lawyer suggested to a black mob on a train that they stop smoking and start behaving. They broke his jaw. And oh yeah, its been happening there a long time.

In Dover, Delaware, hundreds of students from a black college fought, destroyed property, defied police at a local casino. And oh yeah, its been happening there a long time.

In St. Louis, 50 black people stormed through downtown, fighting, destroying property, terrorizing residents.And oh yeah, its been happening there a long time.

In Rochester, black students at Frederick Douglass high school fought and destroyed property. Five arrested. And oh yeah, its been happening there a long time.

In Orlando, police used pepper spray to break up a large group of black people fighting, destroying property.

 These are ALL last week.

I am the author of White Girl Bleed a Lot: The Return of Racial Violence to America and How the Media Ignore It — which for the last six months has been the #1 Best Selling Civil Rights Book at Amazon.

This book has been featured or talked about in just about every talk show in America. And the subject of lots of glowing columns from Thomas Sowell, Allen West, Daily Caller, Breitbart, American Thinker, and loads of others.

So let’s talk.

p.s. Here is a link to stories about all the above incidents.

 

THE REPLY FROM LOUISIANA:
Colin,
I’d like to suggest that it’s pretty disingenuous to say that “the media is silent” and “no one is talking about it,” and then provide links to media coverage of all the events you cite.  Clearly, the local media is NOT silent in these cities you mention.
I’m guessing that what you mean is that the major networks (including FOX News) aren’t covering the overall story of violent crime in America  to your satisfaction.   As a guy who makes his living in the local news wars, I’d ask that in future publicity releases you make that distinction, but I realize it’s a subtlety probably lost on your target audience.
At any rate, good luck with your book.  The issue of crime, regardless of the race of the people who commit it, continues to be a serious problem in America, as it has been for the last, oh, hundred years or so.   I can remember Nixon campaigning hard on the need to radically increase the number of police officers on American streets to combat “the ever increasing tidal wave of crime that continues to sweep across America.”  That was 1960.
As I’m sure you know, for decades sociologists have observed crime to be a manifestation of groups who perceive themselves as being essentially powerless within the larger social and economic picture, and tends to run most strongly along economic, not racial, lines.  Sometimes, of course, those lines intersect—but not always.
Again, good luck with your book.
