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.
Some happen just a few days ago.
In Jackson, Mississippi, a group of black teenagers killed a white senior citizen. A veteran of World War II. The second such attack and murder of an 80-something year old veteran in two months.
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.
How about the group of black people who tore through a New Jersey commuter train, sending four people to the hospital after beating and robbing them?
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.
In 2011, at the Iowa State Fair, mobs of black people attacked white people in and outside of the fairgrounds for three nights in a row. Finally, a reporter asked the spokeswoman for the Des Moines police department what was going on with all this black violence.
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.

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.

Get it here:
If Eric Holder can incite white riots by ignoring black on white crime, he will have performed his job Admirably to wit: Give Barack Obama an excuse to declare Martial Law due to Whites acting like members of the KKK. Alan Grayson is also working with Holder on the KKK aspect. I hope the White community [I hate that term; I am not White I am FLESH colored] stays the course and not riot even when propelled towards rioting action, with admittedly righteous cause, stay calm. Remember, there are over 70 departments in government right now with their own S.W.A.T. teams itching for a fight. What reason could Obama have for arming such feared departments as the EPA; the Congressional Library; The Federal Reserve [which is not even technically a part of government] etc. if not to stage a Coup? Be prepared & afraid…very afraid.
Editors, managers etc on papers will not permit their reporters to say any thing about race that is not a back up of the party line. *Without White Guilt, no Affirmative Action* stated Juan Williams in one of his essays on the topic of reparations some time back. Then there is the business aspect, who wants their paper boycotted by angry blacks and people like Chris Matthews and Al Sharpton saying they are being targeted yet again by the racist whites who want to bring back slavery…it all begins to be a little funny to watch, except for all that blood.
The PC thought police are now in all areas of public academe, and in government. Their agenda is ruining the careers of honest people in the country when they just state facts on race. This is absolutely Orwellian in action with honesty being punished as thought cops’ corrupt agenda grows. Good citizens are being sacrificed at the altar of leftist social engineers.
