People who read the White Girl Bleed a Lot web site, Facebook page , YouTube channel and book are a curious lot: They love asking reporters one question.
Why don’t you report racial violence?
They wonder why newspaper reporters talk about Black Caucuses, black colleges, black television stations, black radio, black music, black literature, black unions, Black baseball players — everything except black mob violence.
They get kind of snarky when anyone asks.
Here is the latest example from Baltimore — over the Memorial Day weekend a group of 50 to 100 black people were fighting, assaulting, destroying property and creating mayhem at a local swimming pool. So they were kicked out.
This mob of 100 black people proceeded to steal 40 bikes from the CitiBike program.
This was the day after a mob of 200 black people fought, destroyed property, attacked people and created mayhem in downtown Baltimore.
Here’s a video of the story:
So a reader writes to the reporter who “covered it” for the Baltimore Sun. Pack of youths steals dozens of bicycles from city program – baltimoresun.com
Ms. Wenger,
Why don’t you mention that the gangs of “teens” committing
hate crimes against whites are black? Sounds very racist in its’ omission. You know you’re not fooling anyone, we know what’s going on and you just look foolish and racists when you pretend it isn’t so.
Her response:
“I am sure you have first hand knowledge of the races of the children that comprised this group from Dallas, even as the police who are actually here in baltimore haven’t actually caught the children.
Please keep your racism to yourself. I am not interested.”
Wow: So 100 black people rampage through a Baltimore neighborhood and this reporter wants to pretend she did not know they were black. Or that it was impossible for anyone else to know because they were not there.
I was not there, but here is how I know: People told me. People from Baltimore who are constantly amazed at how reporters excuse, deny, condone, lie and even get snarky about racial violence.
So this is Exhibit 3794.
And oh yeah:A day or so after the Big Bike Heist story, Wenger was back on the racial reporting beat. Here is a recent tweet from the lovely Ms. Wenger:
Yvonne Wenger @yvonnewengerLast time Bmore hosted the All Star game in 1993, @MayorSRB said it was an amazing experience. She helped escort Negro League Players.
