I attended inner city schools (USA) and I’m white. My high school was only one third white. We were a motley mix of Blacks, Hispanics, Whites, and then a sprinkling of Asians, Jews, Arabs, Hmong. My uncle referred to it as a trip to the United Nations when he visited.
Background: I was many years younger than the average student in my grade. Mom started me at 4 years old in kindergarten and I couldn’t flunk in spite of my best efforts. By the time I started eighth grade at 12 years old, I was sharing the showers with grown men in gym class. Young men were driving to school by eighth grade and my art teacher (who was black) told me of 18 year old men and women he knew to be attending middle school. However, I was talking of high school so I’ll get back to that. I just want you to understand the substantial age differences.
We went on a field trip to a rural community, in high school (10th grade I think). The Black kids behaved horribly. It was a community set up to operate as if it were a couple hundred years ago.
The teachers, who were white, had long since been wore down and put up with anything they did. Although whites would get suspended for similar behavior.
I never thought you could see pain in the face of a farm animal because they don’t have expressions. I was wrong. I watched as goats, sheep, donkeys, etc… were punched by Black teens. The animals were friendly and anxious to be fed and then a Black kid would punch it so hard in the ribs, cheek, or shoulder that the animal would recoil, grow still, and change demeanor. I could see the pain, confusion, and betrayal. It was heart breaking to watch animals expecting their normal treatment, getting punched by hands that were supposed to stroke, feed, care.
I got sick to my stomach.
They stole from the “country shops” we visited. One store had to be put on lock-down until goods were returned. Everyone was on edge with my school there. The Black kids talked very bad to the White old men and women volunteers. The old people were verbally abused and threatened.
I’ve had a strange life, Colin. I’m white, (mostly German) and I looked like Justin Beiber prior to puberty. I grew up in a Hispanic family with a stepfather. I had a different name than everyone else but was treated fairly by his side of the family. The schools I went to were another story. They gave me seething anger that began to erupt as puberty equipped me to be a man.
I was made to feel like I’d be in tremendous trouble if I acted like the Black kids at school. Defending ourselves too enthusiastically would get us White kids kicked out. I was more afraid of the institution and going to a boys home and my parents. This built great frustration. I was probably very fortunate to have been much younger. Had I been of a similar age, I would have done something drastic.
Later, outside of school, I fought a lot. I blame frustration. My own son has me recount fights (go figure) every night before bed. I teach from it, as well. It is our ritual and I’m not sure it’s always a good one, LOL, but I tell him of getting beaten up, of wins, of narrow escapes, and trips to emergency rooms, etc… All “real life.”
The truth is, I suffer from PTSD. I know I do. I have flashbacks and I’m very troubled by images from years ago. I was often not comfortable around nice white people. I didn’t know how to conduct myself. I think I’ve figured it out now but know that something isn’t completely “normal” with my attitude. Children and animals like me, I have that.
I got treated well by most Black girls in school(go figure). I didn’t know they wanted to copulate with me until one (who had a child already) made it perfectly clear.
I carry scars today. Some wounds have yet to heal over but I’m strong and I have courage. It is no joke.
From Colonel Allen West: “Read Colin Flaherty’s book, Don’t Make the Black Kids Angry. And be certain to share it.”
TownHall: “Heroic.”
FrontPageMag: “A national treasure.”
Steve Malzberg, NewMaxTV: “Amazing.”
Bill Cunningham: “Amazing.”
Anthony Cumia: “Amazing.”
His work has appeared in more than 1000 news sites around the world, including the New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Time Magazine. His story about how a black man was unjustly convicted of trying to kill his white girlfriend resulted in his release from state prison and was featured on Court TV, NPR, The Los Angeles Times and San Diego Union-Tribune.
He is also the author of White Girl Bleed a Lot: The Return of Racial Violence to America and How the Media Ignore it.
Both books are about black mob violence, black on white crime and the Knockout Game — and how public officials, reporters and activists deny, excuse, condone and encourage them.

Love your work! It is about time the epidemic of black on white violence was exposed to the country. The national media refuses to cover it.
Of course, you know all this better than I do. Anyway, you wanted details of my “assaulting the fists of large black males with my face” during junior high. Here it is. You’re welcome to publish it anywhere, with my name. Darrick T. Evenson
Black-on-White Violence in Los Angeles School 1974-75
I was born and raised, mostly, in Santa Monica California. During my elementary school years I went to school with few black kids. But, even then, I noticed they would intimidate the white kids a lot.
At the age of 14 our family moved to West Los Angeles. At the time, west Los Angeles was mostly white, with some Hispanics, and some blacks. However, this was during forced busing in Los Angeles. I went to Daniel Webster Junior High in West Los Angeles. The year before I attended Daniel Webster, I would guess it was at least 85% white.
However, the semester I attended there, it was about 70% black, about 15% Hispanic, about 10% Asian, and about 5% white.
The whites were TERRORIZED by some black students, daily. Hourly.
There was no school security. I was told they had to be “let go” because there wasn’t enough money for them. I saw harassment and physical assaults on white students by black students daily, almost hourly.
I was assaulted myself. Most of the time this was just spitting or slaps in the face, or punches, or things thrown at me during lunch like apple cores, cookies, etc. Nothing too harsh.
However, my brother was beaten. We had our lunch money stolen every day. I remember one female teacher would literally RUN through the halls, hiding her eyes with her hand, only peeking out between her fingers.
I guess, so she wouldn’t have to see what was going on. Not kidding. Finally, after about two months of this, I went to the principals office to ask to be sent to a different school.
I was told to speak to the Vice Principal. I told him what was happening to me and other white kids. He laughed and said, “Well…HOW DOES IT FEEL?????”
He walked away from me. He was black.
Finally, my mother came to the school with me, and demanded we speak to the Principal. The Principal, a woman, listened to us and said, “Sorry, there’s nothing I can do. Maybe you should think about sending Darrick to a private school!”
My mother was appauled, and we left. I never returned. Of course, my family could not afford a private school. So, we moved back to Santa Monica. What happened to all the white kids? Most of them went to private schools. Some whites, such as myself, had parents who could not afford that.
So, we suffered. I’ve told others about this, and some have said, “Well, you must have used the N word, or disrespected them in some way!”
NO WAY! Are you kidding? I bent over backwards NOT to offend anyone. If you looked at a black kid, he took that as you were “dissing” him.
If you did not look at a black kid, he took that as you “dissing” him. You were damned if you did, and damned if you didn’t.
At the time, social science teachers were telling kids of all the horrible things that “whites did to blacks” over hundreds of years. The social studies curriculum was very anti-white.
It says “whites enslaves blacks”; not the truth, that blacks enslaved other blacks in Africa, and then sold them to slavers, who were white, who came to Africa to get slaves. Somehow, of course, ALL WHITES, for eternity, could rightfully “pay” for the sins of a few white men and black men who engaged in the slave trade.
At the time, one of the TV stations, forgot which one, did a segment on how all of the Los Angeles City Councilmen and Councilwomen had taken their children out of public school and put them into private schools.
The hypocrisy was so disgusting. Later, I joined the Marines. I saw Southern whites call blacks “niggers” and the blacks did nothing. However, I was beaten severely by a group of blacks, which left me a sexual invalid for most of my adult life.
They kicked out my left testicle. What did I do? Absolutely nothing. The blacks knew they couldn’t fight the Southern whites, because the southern whites would retaliate n numbers. So, they attacked me, because I was a loner.
They chose the “weak target” to get their frustration out. I don’t know, but I’ve heard, that many whites in L.A. schools today are joining skinhead gangs, because that is the only way they won’t be terrorized daily, because the blacks know that they’ll be retaliated against if the “F**K” with a skin head.
Sad, but true. Putting a few white kids in amongst a large population of “ghetto” blacks is like putting a few Jews in a school filled with Nazis. They’re NOT just gonna “get along”.
While going to that school, I never saw a white student insult a black in the least, but the whites were beaten, robbed, and terrorized daily, hourly, by some blacks. I’ve heard there was rapes and sexual assaults against white female students, but I didn’t know of any personally.
Like I said, I’m a loner. Yes, 90% of the blacks were “live and let live” and didn’t harass the whites.
But, again, 10% of the blacks did harass and terrorize us. Every single day. No other society or nation would put up with what we’re putting up with, daily. The anti-white violence, racially motivated, is an epidemic, and only getting worse.. Like I said to you before, there is no coming Race War.
There has been a Race War in this country for at least 60 years, and just about all the casualties are white.
I just saw your video from earlier this year about the best letter from a cop and how your friends were treated in HS.
I too went to Catholic school in Philadelphia, but a move between 6th and 7th grade put me in a new area of the city where the Catholic schools were overcrowded and I couldn’t get in.
I went to 7th, 8th and 9th grade in a nearly all black school and there were near daily race riots after school and the white kids had to keep in large groups for protection.
When I graduated from Jr High, I was on the very outer edge of the schools jurisdiction and after less than 1 year of HS, my parents took me out and put me in a private (though secular) school. Getting home safely was a daily challenge, especially right outside the school.
Even as far Northeast as Washington HS, there were huge numbers of blacks that were bussed in and nearly every day after school there were fights on racial lines. The antisemitism was rampant and nobody would do anything about it. I know you live near Philly and are probably aware that Lincoln, Northeast High School, Washington and other HS in the northeast of the city have become so dangerous that people are simply moving out.
The thing about Russian Jews is that they stick together, so they are fighting back, but white flight is still rampant. Now the cities want to unify the suburban school districts with the city school districts so they can steal the money in the suburbs and transfer it into the city districts which waste 1/2 or more of their budget and will not discipline kids who are violent, or they go the other route and overreact and arrest teens for minor offenses.
Leftism is a disease and is the underlying problem. Children in elementary school have been suspended or expelled for eating a pop-tart to make it look like a gun and believe it or not, children using their fingers to make a pretend gun and say “bang bang” are being expelled or facing severe disciplinary actions.
Tallahassee protests white violence on black people: The real story.
A preview of a story at WND.com with links at the bottom.
Activists from around the country marched on Tallahassee Monday to protest what one writer for Salon is calling “open season on black teenagers: The onslaught of white murder.”
The most famous example of this onslaught came two years ago, when George Zimmerman shot and killed Trayvon Martin. A jury ruled it was self defense. The next example was last year, when Michael Dunn shot Jordan Davis after feeling threatened by Davis and his friends.
Earlier this month, a jury found Dunn guilty of three charges of second degree murder for firing several bullets into a car. The jury could not reach a verdict for the killing of Jordan Davis. This prompted howls of protest from black writers and activists who say these two killings form a trend. Dallas News | myFOXdfw.com
USA Today spoke with the parents of Jordan Davis about the protest rally: “We know that the image of young black men having guns and being thugs is pervasive across the country,” Lucia McBath, Davis’ mother. “It’s an established mindset that young black males in this country are dangerous. That young black males in this country are something to be reckoned with. That young black males in this country are people to be feared.”
They tried to prepare their son for living in a world where white people can visit violence on black people at any time without any consequence: “Jordan felt really bad about what happened to Trayvon,” McBath said. “He said, ‘This could have been me. Trayvon was just like me.’”
A common theme at the rally and in media coverage of it was that black people are victims of white violence, not the other way around. No one talked about how white on black crime is a rarity compared to black mob violence and black on white crime.
None of the media outlets reported that either. Many of these crimes are documented in White Girl Bleed a Lot: The Return of Racial Violence to America and How the Media Ignore it. If all that the speakers and protesters and reporters at the Tallahassee rally knew came from the daily newspapers, they could be forgiven for not being aware of the disproportionate nature of the racial violence.
So let’s fill in a few blanks with some recent examples of black on white crime and black mob violence. Along with the names of the people responsible:
In Annapolis, Maryland, two black men, Devery Kelley and Cornell Robinson were arrested earlier this month for robbing a pregnant woman while she was in labor on her way to the hospital delivery room. In Madison, Wisconsin, about the same time as the protest, police arrested six black people for the home invasion and beating of a young couple. They were also charged with sexual assault on the woman, who was six months pregnant.
Under arrest are L. Efemia Neumaier, DeAndre Mayweathers, Demarco Mallit, Kristopher Hughes, Michon Thomas, Eric Bass.
In Seattle last week, police responded to a 911 call of 100 black people fighting in the street. Some were shooting guns. Some wore black ski masks. No one was arrested.
Ski masks seem to be a popular accessory this year with the black violence set: In Washington, D.C. over the weekend, black people wearing ski masks fired guns in the air and threatened a homeowner who came out to object to a crowd of 100 black people fighting and stomping on the hood of her car. The Washington Post reported that “someone wearing a ski mask used a racial slur, told her to shut up and threatened to kill her, she said.”
When the woman’s husband went to the police station the next day to complain about the lack of police action toward violence in her recently gentrified neighborhood, “he was told that officers are instructed not to engage large crowds if it might put them in danger.”
Large scale examples of racial violence are rarely reported in The Post. But they happen frequently on the city’s mass transit, bike trails, high schools, shopping centers, night clubs and in the gentrified neighborhoods.
In Dayton, Ohio over the weekend, a large group of black people were fighting downtown. When police arrived to break it up, James White attacked the officers. They arrested him.
Over the weekend near Rochester, a large group of black people were fighting in a bowling alley when one man was hit in the head with a bowling ball. Four were arrested.
In Stamford, Conn. on Saturday, a store owner tried to stop a group of black people from stealing several bottles of liquor. The alleged thieves attacked the store owners and their family, breaking a bottle over the woman’s head. Three were arrested. Police said one of the suspects “kicked and spit on officers while she was being processed at the Stamford Police Department.”
In Dallas less than a month ago, career criminal Deyfon Pipkins, was shot and killed while breaking into the home of a senior citizen. This was just the latest of several burglaries at this house. The local Fox affiliate reports Pipkins had a criminal record that was “18 pages long.”
Soon after the killing, several relatives showed up at the scene of the crime to question the homeowner’s actions, said the Fox affiliate. “He could have used a warning,” said Lakesha Thompson, Pipkins’ sister-in-law. “He could have let him know that he did have a gun on his property and he would use it in self-defense.”
In Mobile, Alabama, the relatives of Adric White did not like it any better when he was shot in November while holding a gun to the employees of a discount store he was robbing. His relatives told the local Fox affiliate they did not much care for the armed customer who shot their relative: “If no one had a gun up to him, if no one pointed a gun at him – what gives him the right to think that it’s okay to just shoot someone?” a relative, who wished to remain anonymous, told FOX10. “You should have just left the store and went wherever you had to go in your car or whatever.”
A focus of the Tallahassee rally was removing guns from the hands of people who say they need them for self defense.
In Milwaukee Friday afternoon, a large group of black people at a McDonald’s restaurant were fighting and destroying property. Nine black people were arrested.
In Ft. Lauderdale in February, video captured the images of two black people approaching a table of Girl Scouts selling cookies outside a Winn Dixie grocery store. They robbed them. “Local 10′s Christina Vazquez spoke exclusively with the victim of that robbery, 10-year-old girl whose cell phone was taken by the brazen thieves. “When it happened, I didn’t stop crying,” said Daley Eisenmann.
On Friday in Chicago Heights, 20 black students from Bloom Trail High School were fighting and attacking security guards in what local news is calling a “massive brawl.” Some of it caught in video. Nine were arrested. School was let out early.
Near Minneapolis a week ago, a group of 15 black people were fighting at an LA Fitness. They were throwing free weights and barbells at gym patrons and staff. When police arrived, they fought them too. Some of video. Charged with disorderly conduct and rioting were Ali Yusuf Barre, Abdirashid Yasin Duad, and Mohamed Awil Suleiman. Three juveniles were also taken into custody.
Last Thursday in Omaha, a black man shot Brandon Samuels dead. They were at a party following a Miley Cyrus’ ‘Bangerz Tour’ concert when Samuels tried to stop the man who was attacking a woman. The man left and returned with two friends and a gun. They shot Samuels in the neck and seriously wounded another. Police have charged Laron M. Jones with first degree murder. This is his second murder rap: Charges on the first were dismissed.
In St. Louis on Sunday, dozens of black people fought and created mayhem ending in at least four gun shots. The riot took place in the middle of a Sunday afternoon, in the middle of a street, in the middle of a popular business district called the Delmar Loop, in the middle of a crowd of people with cell phone cameras, in the middle of an area known for frequent and regular black mob violence often on video.
In Austin, Texas on Friday, the headline tells the story: “Another brutal beating in Downtown Austin has been caught on camera — this time the victims are two women.” This time the crowd was about a dozen black people. The women were beaten unconscious.
On Friday in Flint, again the headline tells the story: Brawl involving several teens in Flint sends two girls to hospital, police say. More than a dozen black people were involved. And yes, it happens quite often there.
In Cherry Hill, New Jersey on Saturday afternoon, two black women attacked another woman in a fight over a parking space at a local mall. One of the two almost bit the other’s finger off.
Over the weekend in Manhattan, Kyle Rogers was found unconscious and bloody on the street after being attacked Sunday morning. On video. The attack left Rogers with several broken bones in his face and jaw. Rogers is one of hundreds of victims of the spontaneous racial violence that some call the Knockout Game.
The overwhelming majority of perpetrators of this game are black and the victims are usually not. In St. Louis, a judge last year said one man alone was responsible for 300 Knockout Game attacks.
Police say they are looking for a black man in connection with the Manhattan assault — one of dozens of such assaults in New York over the last several months. Many are directed at Orthodox Jews. After one recent attack, city council member Laurie Cumbo explained it all: Black people don’t like Jewish people that much. “The accomplishments of the Jewish community triggers feelings of resentment, and a sense that Jewish success is not also their success.”
Are we clear?
Last week in Pittsburgh, Penn., police charged a black man, Allen Darell Wade, in the shooting death of two white sisters who lived next door. Wade said he is being set up.
This is a long list.
Some say racism causes more than just violence. Last week, the Slone Epidemiology Centre at Boston University, released a study that said: “Frequent experiences of racism are associated with a higher risk of obesity among African American women,” reported the Daily Mail.
Others say white racism also is found in the classroom, where it contributes to the achievement gap between white and black students. That is why a school board in Elgin, Illinois, is pushing a plan to hire more black teachers, reported the Courier News: “It is important that students have teachers who look like them,” said Vilma Sept, chairwoman of the African-American Advisory Council.
Elgin is just one of hundreds of school districts around the country that following this plan to overcome white racism.
Its all part of plan, a pattern, if you just know how to look, said Mychal Denzel Smith in The Nation magazine.
“There’s nothing new under America’s racist sun,” said Smith. “We scream ‘Murder! Lynching!’ We desperately reaffirm for ourselves and our children the value of black life in a country that declares us worthless. We cry and renew our hope. And then we move on to the next one.
“How many more bodies must we lay to rest before America gets tired, too?
“The cynic in me starts to believe this is exactly what white people want. It’s as though our cries of “Murder! Lynching!” only make it easier for white America to accept black death.”
Some black leaders are not totally on board with the relentless cries of relentless racism. They say black black people are the problems, not the victims. In Memphis, Mayor A.C. Wharton said the dangerous conditions in his city are a “black boy problem.”
In Wilmington, Delaware one week ago, local minister Reverend Dr. Donald Morton was on TV talking about the Tallahassee rally, and how he was going to attend to protect “his people” from violence and racism. Sitting next to him was a six foot, 300-pound black man named Howard Powell, who could easily be mistaken for a professional football offensive lineman.
Powell was visibly uncomfortable at Dr. Morton’s blaming white people for violence. And he said so: What about black teenagers? asked Powell. “I’m afraid of them too.”
Before he could continue, Dr. Morton cut him off. “Don’t say that,” explained Dr. Morton. “Some people might use it the wrong way.”
One of my favorite cat pictures — I’m a cat person — has one cat with his paws around another cat’s neck, with the caption : “Keep walking…this doesn’t concern you”.
I mention this because Colin Flaherty’s “White Girl Bleed a Lot: The Return of Racial Violence to America and How the Media Ignore It” (WND Books, 416 pages, $17.95 trade paperback, revised 2013 edition, also in eBook editions, notes, sources, links to YouTubes, index) says this is the attitude about the American phenomenon of black “youths” or “teens” (that’s how they’re often identified, with no racial description) attacking whites and Asians in cities across the country.
Flaherty points out — providing dozens of examples — that editors ignore the fact that the vast majority of the attacks are perpetrated by young blacks — male and female — against whites, gays, Jews and others deemed to be weak who won’t defend themselves.
In many cases, the attacks aren’t even in crime statistics, because police don’t include them — or fail to file reports. Cops in several cities are telling potential victims to arm themselves — and they are, with results that are deemed “vigilantism” by left-leaning journalists, “civil rights” leaders and the other usual suspects.
I first became aware of this phenomenon that has spread like a toxic rash across the nation when I read of an attack in Milwaukee that gave Flaherty the title of his book. A group of white picnickers were attacked by a group of blacks in Brew City, with one teen-age black girl commenting “White girl bleed a lot.”
Flaherty includes this incident in his book, along with the 2011 race riot at the Wisconsin State Fair in West Allis, a suburb of Milwaukee, the incident that prompted my columns. I was a reporter/editor at The Milwaukee Sentinel from 1967 to 1976, so this was a natural for me to blog about. I had always known about the underreported violence in Milwaukee, which is becoming a majority black city similar to its much larger neighbor to the south, Chicago.
Black mob violence relentless and fatal: Even during Black History Month.
It just won’t stop. A smattering of recent violence.
A preview of an article at WND:
It just won’t stop, this black on white crime. Not even during Black History Month. And it is becoming increasingly fatal.
This time Baton Rouge, again: This time another old white dude is dead. His name is John Bannon. The 53-year sports fan moved to Baton Rouge from his native Indiana so he could be close to his beloved LSU Tigers football team.
And his Harley too: He kept it in his living room because he did not have a garage. Can’t do much Harley-riding in Indiana in the winter.
It was 9:30 on a Friday night in early February. Bannon was a few blocks from his home when witnesses say he encountered the 19-year old Windall Lavel Herring and a 15-year old accomplice. They punched him in the face. His head hit the ground. He lingered for a few weeks, then died.
The Advocate in Baton Rouge says the two teens attacked Bannon in an attempted robbery, or to see who could hit harder or possibly for another reason, police spokesman Cpl. L’Jean McKneely said.
Like lots of other victims of black on white crime, Bannon had a family. And yes, they are trying to figure out why their grandfather, father, brother, uncle and friend is dead.
This is hardly the first black on white violent attack in Baton Rouge. Last May, a black mob attacked a white family that had stopped for gas at a convenience store near a freeway.
The police report describes how one of the attackers “approached the white male victim. The defendant told him he was in the wrong neighborhood and he was not going to make it out.” The victim said that’s when he “was punched and knocked to the ground.”
His wife got out of the car and ran to help her husband. “He continued to struggle with the defendant and was eventually knocked unconscious.” His wife told police, “after running to help her husband, she remembers falling to the ground and (being) knocked unconscious.”
Then they beat the couple’s teenager daughter. The man suffered a broken eye socket, a broken nose and several cuts on the face.
February has been a busy month for black on white violence around the country. Some fatal. A smattering of violence from the last month:
A few days before the attack on Bannon, a group of black people attacked, stabbed and robbed an 86-year old veteran at him home in Chickasaw, Alabama. Like Bannon, he lingered for a few days, then died. Three black people with long criminal histories have been charged in connection with the attack.
In New Orleans, a group of black people ambushed a bike rider and hit him in the face with an aluminum bat. They fractured his skull. This was the second such attack that evening in that area. The first victim suffered a shattered jaw and missing teeth. They lived.
In St. Petersburg, three bicyclists were attacked over a one week period on a popular bike trail. They lived. All the suspects are black.
In St. Cloud, Minnesota, Jesse Smithers received a ten year sentence after pleading guilty in the killing of Colton Gleason. Smithers was part of a group of six black people who stopped a car, got out and attacked Gleason. Smithers will be eligible for release in five years. Lots of Gleason’s friends still cannot get over it and they remember him on a Facebook page.
“A young yeshiva student was attacked as he was on his way home. He was attacked just a few feet from the entrance to his home. He struck the Jewish man several times on his head, without saying a word, the student said later. Eventually the student lost consciousness and fell down on the sidewalk. He regained consciousness to find himself lying face down on the cold sidewalk. Amazingly, his attacker was still there.”
In a suburb of Indianapolis, police are looking for “four black males who got out of a white SUV and started knocking on windows and doors, trying to get inside” a car belonging to Kyle Jobin. They shot him dead.
In Macon, Georgia, 30 black people assaulted five white people, including a mother and infant. They lived. One of the TV news stations called it “a fight.” One of the locals said race had nothing to do with it: ““People get jumped everyday,” said Jon’Shea JS Jenkins on his Facebook page. “ The fact that there white means nothing.”
In Baltimore, two black people are under arrest for killing Kimberly Leto with a knife during a burglary. One of the suspects was charged with the burglary six months before in the same house. Just a few days before Leto’s death, an editor for the Baltimore Sun was assaulted in the same neighborhood. His skull is fractured. Ten teeth missing. One black man arrested. John Fogg will live. Probably.
In Cleveland, a black mob attacked a disabled army veteran. They first saw him on a bus, then followed him when when left it. They kicked him, punched him, and knocked him down — all the while saying ‘Knock that boy out!’ White boy. Cracker. ‘Knock that white boy out. He lived.
The Hudson Reporter published an account of a a white man in Hoboken who was “struck once on the left side of his face by a man he could only describe as African-American and 5 feet 10 inches tall, said the police report. Another man was with the alleged perpetrator. The victim fell to the ground, and apparently asked his attacker why he had assaulted him, to which the assailant only said, “What are you going to do about it?” He lived.
In Chicago, three black people tried to rob an off duty police officer. The video shows them approaching the cop and pulling a gun as he pumped gas. He turned over his wallet with one hand, and with the other, pulled his gun and shot the assailant in the face. He died.
Meanwhile, at Black History Forums around the country, many spoke of the recent conviction of the white man Michael Dunn in the killing of black teenager Jordan Davis for playing his music too loudly.
The liberal stalwart Salon web site summed the anger at white violence towards black people: “Michael Dunn and open season on black teenagers: The onslaught of white murder.” Follow @ColinFlaherty
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.

New: Black History Month starts with a bang of Knockout Games and Black Mob Violence
A preview of an article At FrontPageMag
The black press have moved on. So have the daily newspapers. So we don’t hear that much about the Knockout Game today. Members of the National Association of Black Journalists do not want to talk about it — other than to say it is a myth.
But the Knockout Game continues. As does black mob violence and black on white crime — including several examples in the last several days, the first few days of Black History Month.
The latest comes from Cleveland, where we learned for the first time that recent black mob violence directed against a disabled army veteran is just the latest of many examples of “more violent teens running around the heart of downtown Cleveland.”
This time Matt Robinson was the victim. Robinson was riding a bus through Cleveland when a group of eight black people surrounded him, taunted him, threatened him.
Even if most reporters are seemingly not aware of the racial violence, their readers are: “This has been going on at the Square for decades,” said Bob McKenney and others in reaction to the story of the disable veteran who was a victim of racial violence. “Young blacks doing their thang.”
In the New York area, enthusiasm for the Knockout Game is waning in the newsrooms. But on the streets, it is as popular as ever.
In Hoboken, the Hudson Reporter carried a story about a white man on Sinatra drive: “As he was walking, he was struck once on the left side of his face by a man he could only describe as African-American and 5 feet 10 inches tall, said the police report. Another man was with the alleged perpetrator. The victim fell to the ground, and apparently asked his attacker why he had assaulted him, to which the assailant only said, “What are you going to do about it?”
He did the only thing he could: Stayed down until his attackers left. Then he went to a doctor who he told him he had “several facial fractures that would require surgery.”
“A young yeshiva student was attacked as he was on his way home. He was attacked just a few feet from the entrance to his home. He struck the Jewish man several times on his head, without saying a word, the student said later. Eventually the student lost consciousness and fell down on the sidewalk. He regained consciousness to find himself lying face down on the cold sidewalk. Amazingly, his attacker was still there.”
He left when a neighbor came to the stricken man’s aid, running into a nearby building. Police said they could not go into the building and look for the alleged assailant because the victim was not able to identify him.
Local religious leaders said they were not going to put up with this any more and they wanted more police protection from the relentless violence.
Tampa had a two-fer over the weekend. While hundreds rallied in Miami to remember the death of Trayvon Martin and to vow to work together to prevent more white on black violence, the Tampa area was the scene of several cases of black mob violence and black on white crime.
One big one: That was at the Florida State Fair. Hundreds of black people fought, destroyed property, attacked police, robbed an old lady in a wheelchair, attacked other fair goers, and overwhelmed the best efforts of dozens of police to stop the riot and the violence.
Eventually 99 people were kicked out of the fair for violence, 97 of them were black — including one who was hit and killed by a car when he tried to walk across a nearby interstate freeway.
It took days for the local media to identify the extent and severity of the violence, who was responsible, and how the violence had become a regular feature of life at the fair over the past several years.
Across the bay in St. Petersburg, black mob violence erupted again on the Pinellas hiking and biking trail. A resident of the area breaks it down. “I live in Clearwater close to Tampa and ALL the local news outlets were falling all over themselves to point out it was just some rambunctious teens,” he said of the black mob violence at the State Fair. “Meanwhile 4 more people were mugged on the Pinellas Trail and had their phones, bikes, and wallets stolen by – you guessed it – some more “youths.””
The Clearwater resident was referring to the proclivity of local media to identify suspects in black mob attacks and black on white crime as “youths.”
In less than a week, there were at least three examples of racial violence on the trial. Part of a pattern of more than a dozen over the last two years in St. Petersburg. Black mob violence on hiking and biking trails throughout the country is a regular feature for some trail users in Durham, North Carolina; Washington, D.C., Seattle, Washington, and now St. Petersburg.
In Rochester, New York this week, 100 black students rioted and fought with police at Frederick Douglass high school and junior high until a few dozen police were able to break it up with pepper spray. Then a fire alarm went it off and they went outside and did it again. Seven were arrested. Two students were tasered. And many students were treated for exposure to pepper spray.
Johnson City, Tennessee is the kind of place where people try to get away from what they think are big city problems. But black mob violence happens in small towns too. Places like Peoria, Illinois. Springfield, Missouri. Greensboro, North Carolina — known for it proximity to the mythical home of Andy of Mayberry.
“There were witnesses to the attack that reportedly involved several black men who assaulted Brookshire then ran off.“He was waiting to cross the road and the black males, one of them hit him in the head,” said Katelyn Breeding, the woman who found Brookshire. Then a witness saw Brookshire go down and hit his head on the ground. There he was surrounded by the mob who punched him and kicked him in the face, said WJHL TV News.
Breeding saw the black mob leaving the scene. They were laughing and joking and “They were jumping up and down saying phrases like ‘we got him. We beat him.’”
And oh yeah, Brookshire is in critical condition.
However much he has left of it, Brookshire’s left will be forever changed as a result of his encounter with black mob violence.
“Winder’s nose was fractured in two places, and her left eye socket broken. The whole left side of her face was smashed in, and she needed stitches in her forehead and elbow. Winder, 49, says it breaks her heart that the attackers were two young black men who appeared to be between 18 and 20 years old.”
That meant no more magical thinking for Winder:
“Before this incident, I was one of those black women saying, ‘These young black men shouldn’t go to prison. These 16-, 15- and 14-year-olds who do these crimes, they should get out, go to juvenile detention and be rehabilitated,'” she said to Ledger, while telling her story at a Muscogee County Victims Witness Assistance meeting at the Government Center. “But when you’ve got two guns in your face, and these boys standing over you saying, ‘You b—-,’ and they don’t give a damn about you … I immediately changed.”
Not everyone in Winder’s town changed. The paper talked to J. Aleem Hud, executive director of Project Rebound Inc., an organization that aims to empower black youth. Hud says he know who is responsible for the epidemic of black crime in America: White people.
Hud said black people survived slavery by sticking to African village traditions. But that ended with school integration: “Many black children went to white schools where they were placed in special education classes, away from the nurturing of black teachers,” he said. “Desegregation disrupted the values and folkways of our community, disrupted our lifestyle, made us vulnerable to drugs,” Hud said. “And once drugs came in, it changed the entire order of the African-American community.”
He did not say it, but any Critical Race Theorist will tell you that black people may be using drugs, they may be selling drugs, but white people are the ones bringing drugs into black nieghborhoods.
Hud said the community will have to return to its roots to regain a sense of identity. That’s why he promotes the principles of Kwanzaa, an African-American holiday that’s observed in December.
In Chicago, Deonta Mackey won’t be celebrating any more Kwanzaa holidays. When he and two of his friends say a middle aged white guy, all bundled up against the cold, pumping gas in a lower middle class neighborhood this week, they thought they had an easy mark.
“As the sergeant handed over his wallet and other valuables, he reached for his gun and shot the gunman in his head, police said. The other two men fled the scene,” reported DNAinfo web site.
And all this happened a few days before and after hundreds of people gathered in Miami to remember Trayvon Martin, and how, says Ebony Magazine and Daily Beast, white fear caused his death. And the “death of countless others.”
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.
Thomas Sowell said : ”Reading Colin Flaherty’s book made painfully clear to me that the magnitude of this problem is greater than I had discovered from my own research. He documents both the race riots and the media and political evasions in dozens of cities.” – National Review.
What do you think the face of racism looks like? The snarling, ugly, crooked teeth, hunched back, and stove-pipe hat of a Simon Legree?
Come on, man. This is 2013.
The face of racism today is pretty. Polished. Smooth talking. Cloying. It looks like this:
This is the Councilwoman-elect Laurie Cumbo, soon to be represent the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn.
The same place where all the black on Jewish violence takes place. Most recently taking the form of what people are calling the Knockout Game.
Call it what you will, in Crown Heights it features black people attacking Jewish people. Then laughing. And if there is a bit of robbery involved, that’s all good as well.
The solons at the New York Times may be trying to figure out if the Knockout Game is real or a figment of this correspondent’s imagination. But Jewish people in Crown Heights are way past that: They knew they are under constant threat of black mob violence. Whatever we are calling it this year.
That is nothing new for this neighborhood: I documented black on Jewish violence in Crown Heights and other areas in White Girl Bleed a Lot: The Return of Racial violence to American and How the Media Ignore it. (The Amazon #1 Best Selling Civil Rights Book in America, thank you very much!)
And if you want to go back to 1991, I was happy to see a recent article where the author pointed out the Crown Heights riots of that year so ably abetted by Al Sharpton were not “fights.” They were attacks. And city leaders allowed them to continue for three days.
The soon to be honorable Cumbo is also way past any doubt whether blacks are systematically beating and terrorizing Jewish people in Crown Heights. “As an African American woman, this is challenging, because I recognize that it is Black children and not Jewish children that are playing the “Knock Out Game,” she said on her FaceBook page — with approving comments from Eliot Spitzer, no less.
Cumbo is also way past explaining racial violence. That’s old news as well. Though she does go through the motions with a few half-hearted stabs at this institution failing this, that leader not talking about that.
Everybody knows that.
Cumbo is now in full reparations mode. Thanks to DNAinfo.com, we learned from the soon to be councilwoman how:
“Many African American/Caribbean residents expressed a genuine concern that as the Jewish community continues to grow, they would be pushed out by their Jewish landlords or by Jewish families looking to purchase homes,” Cumbo wrote in the 1,200-word letter, which was emailed to supporters and posted on her Facebook page.
“I respect and appreciate the Jewish community’s family values and unity that has led to strong political, economic and cultural gains. While I personally regard this level of tenacity, I also recognize that for others, the accomplishments of the Jewish community triggers feelings of resentment, and a sense that Jewish success is not also their success.”
She added that these sentiments among black Crown Heights residents “offer possible insight as to how young African American/Caribbean teens could conceivably commit a ‘hate crime’ against a community that they know very little about.”
Jewish success not their success?
This is the language of extortion. Blackmail. All we need is one final admission that she and her constituents don’t want it all, just enough to get their “beaks wet.”
And you thought the face of racism and extortion was Simon Legree threatening to whip you if you did not hand over a fistful of silver dollars?
Come on, man.
Cumbo continues with lots of talk about history, and mutual understanding and how are we going to stop the violence and increase understanding and, my second-favorite: Why do we just care about it when it happens to Jews, and ignore black on black violence?
Only surpassed by this:
The recent November 26th article published in The Jewish Week, paints African American teens in a dangerous light, and could cause the vast majority of innocent young people of color to be seen as criminals in the Crown Heights community as a result of the actions of a dangerous small minority.
A classic script-flipping move: Please tell me you noticed how all of a sudden the victims are the predators. And the predators, victims.
And some how, on some level, Jews are responsible for the violence against them. If not, why offer to meet to resolve the differences? When in fact the only real disagreement is whether black people should systematically and spontaneously — but not randomly — assault Jews in Brooklyn.
Now that Cumbo has re-established the natural order of life in Crown Heights, all that is left is a meeting to two to set the terms of surrender. And the amount of reparations.
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.

NBC News and the Associated Press want you to know there is no such thing as black mob violence. Ditto the Washington Post and Philadelphia Inquirer.
Especially in the hundreds of cases of Knockout Game now receiving so much attention in local and national media across the country.
The rules of the Knockout Game are simple: Gather a group of black people. Find a white person. An Asian will do. Punch them in the face until they are knocked out. Or dead. Or your arms get tired.
If you relied on local and national news accounts, you would not know the violence has a racial component. But the videos solves that problem.
Many episodes of black mob violence and mayhem — including the Knockout Game — are recorded on video. Or posted on Facebook. Or even bragged about on Twitter.
Many are documented in White Girl Bleed a Lot: The Return of Racial Violence to America and How the Media Ignore it.
But that does not matter much to NBC and AP and the other media oulets. As part of the flurry of media coverage of the Knockout Game this week, the media outlets trotted out a psychologist who says ignore the video. Ignore the overwhelming evidence of black mob violence. There’s no pattern in the predators. Or in the white and Asian victims:
“It’s hard to excuse this behavior, there’s no purpose to this,” Jeffrey Butts, a psychologist specializing in juvenile delinquency, told the AP. “When someone runs into a store and demands money, you can sort of understand why they’re doing it, desperation, whatever. But just hitting someone for the sheer thrill of seeing if you can knock someone out is just childish.”
This model of denial of the racial component of black mob violence is popularized in dozens of seminars around the country every year at local and national chapters of the National Association of Professional Journalists.
Their advice for covering racial violence? Don’t.
It also echoes what Jesse Washington, AP’s race reporter, told your humble correspondent about racial violence after the acquittal of George Zimmerman for the killing of Trayvon Martin. No such thing, quoth he. At least not black on white.
More and more national and local news outlets are picking up the beat: Despite the avalanche of news stories on the Knockout Game, most still ignore the central organizing feature of the violence: All the attackers are black. And most of the victims are not.
NBC affiliates around the country got into the act this week as well. After ignoring dozens of recent examples of black mob violence all over the Washington, D.C. Area in the last two years, NBC weighted in with yet another shrink:
People with Type T personalities, which characterizes risk-takers and thrill-seekers, are motivated to commit violent acts, like smacking strangers in public, according to Professor of Educational Pyschology Frank Farley.
“Many of the perpetrators may be these T types and one of their things is pushing the envelope,” Farley told NBC Philadelphia. “It’s risky to go up and slap someone in public.”
NBC and its witch doctor may be unclear about the level and intensity of racial violence in the nation’s Capitol. But the readers at the Washington are not. After a recent story about the Knockout Game in Washington, they unleashed a storm of critical fire at the paper for refusing to tell the truth about black mob violence.
Here’s just one of many comments:
“It is amazing how the Washington Post can report about this phenomenon without the issue of racial violence coming up one into the discussion. It is a shame that honesty took a back seat to what is really going on here.”
Philadelphia is center of denial as well as violence. The City of Brotherly Love has been the scene of more than 100 episodes of black mob violence over the last three years. Some resulting in permanent injury and death. Many on video. It got so bad that two years ago, Mayor Michael Nutter went to a black church to plead with black people to stop the black mob violence.
More recently, local media has reported more than five cases of the Knockout Game in Philly. Black mob violence is also such a regular event at Overbrook High School in Philadelphia, that a school staffer recently appeared on the local CBS affiliate to plead with parents and police for help with the violence and anarchy that are an everyday part of life at this black high school:
“It’s mayhem. Students are in the halls, they’re smoking in the bathroom; cigarettes, marijuana,” said a worker at the school, who asked not to be identified. “We can’t contain them and it’s really hazardous for us working and these kids are not being educated at all.”
“It’s a zoo in here. Parents really need to come up here and see what’s going on in this school because it’s ridiculous,” said the worker.
The staffers remarks echo earlier comments from 2010, when a federal judge found that black students at South Philadelphia High School had assaulted and harassed Asian students daily — for years.
The principal said she did not call police because she did not want to “criminalize” the black students.
Even so, the Philadelphia Inquirer dutifully ignores the epidemic of black mob violence in schools, downtown and the gentrified South Philadelphia neighborhood.
“But it’s unclear if the trend even exists,” said the paper this week.
The Inquirer received a Pulitzer last year for its reporting on violence in Philadelphia schools. But if you want to learn anything from the series about racial violence, bring your magnifying glass to read about it — because most of the time the topic is discussed it is to minimize it. Or say how much better it is.
The upward trend of racial harmony was not unclear to Steve Huber earlier this year. When he wrote an article for Philadelphia Magazine called Being White in Philly. Huber talked about the unrelenting racial violence and the fear it creates among white people.
Mayor Nutter said the article was “disgusting” and called for an investigation by the City’s Human Rights Commission.
The Philadelphia Inquirer, again, took a back seat to racial crime and violence: The article was seen as “dwelling on negative experiences that whites had with blacks that often fit into racial stereotypes.”
Racial Journalism 101: Crime statistics are stereotypes. Leave them out and the story is “anecdotal.” Best not to do anything. Class dismissed.
Unless of course you are a family court judge named Wayne Bennett and your write one of the more popular black blogs in America. Bennett has racial violence thing figured out: White people deserve 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.
Bennett’s comments that black on white crime is not much to worry about echo the remarks of a community organizer who works for Temple University in the heart of the Philadelphia’s high crime area.
Temple hired Brandon Jones because he had “street cred.” The idea was that Brandon would keep it real with the people creating the violence and mayhem. Here’s how, says the University’s medical journal:
“Brandon Jones knows the streets of South Philadelphia, and he understands what his young clients are going through in their daily lives. He can relate.”
Ready for the money graph?
Jones says he understands the high energy level of youths and the need “to blow off some steam.”1
When Brandon is done with his community organizing gig at Temple, he will have no trouble finding work at a place sympathetic with that point of view: The Philadelphia Inquirer. The Washington Post. Or NBC News. Or AP.
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.

Knockout Game — Media starting to figure out racial violence? Maybe. A little.
A PREVIEW WITH LINKS:
Ever so slowly, reporters are starting to figure out a version of black mob violence called the Knockout Game.
The first chip in wall fell in New York, where Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said last week that Orthodox Jews in Crown Heights were the victims of 8 episodes of black mob violence and vandalism. He did not see a pattern. But the New York Post did:
“The way the game is played, one of a number of young blacks decides to show that he can knock down some stranger on the streets, preferably with one punch, as they pass by. Often, some other member of the group records the event so that a video of that “achievement” is put on the Internet to be celebrated.”
So did the CBS affiliate in New York. It reported that Rabbi Yaacov Behrman said “he believes the assaults are part of a disturbing game by some African-American teens.”
Although the same station reported on the Knockout Game just a few days before without mentioning the race of the people involved. In Washington, D.C., the CBS affiliate reported this week that at least two people were recent victims of the Knockout Game.
But the station got it wrong on two counts: One of omission: They do not mention that everyone involved in committing the Knockout Game is black. They also did not report that white people throughout the district are subject of frequent black mob violence on bike trails, mass transit and gay neighborhoods — documented in White Girl Bleed a Lot: The Return of Racial Violence to America and How the Media Ignore it.
The other error is of commission: They called it “new.” Which it is not.
WND has documented hundreds of examples of the Knockout Game around the country over the last two years. Including several stories from Washington: Knockout Game a mystery to DC police and Post. Not to WND readers.
“It’s only new if you have been aggressively ignoring the epidemic of black mob violence around the country,” said Sherry Godfrey, of Springfield, Missouri. “But it happened to my son and I had no idea it was happening around the country until I researched it and found the book White Girl Bleed a Lot.”
For reporters willing to look, hundreds of examples are easy to find. A smattering:
In Hoboken, three black people punched a homeless person in September. He died. Not too much different from an earlier episode in Syracuse, where a black mob killed Michael Daniels in May.
In August in Lansing, several black people tried to play the Knockout Game with a twist: They used a taser. It misfired. The victims gun did not. He wounded his attacker, but stopped fired after the Knockout Artist begged for mercy.
In January, several members of the University of Alabama national championship football team attacked two students in what many call the Knockout Game.
At the University of Illinois in Champaign, the game has a different name: Polar Bear Hunting. But with dozens of examples, including a local TV reporter, the black mobs play by the same rules: Find a defenseless white or Asian person, and punch them in the face until your arms are tired. Or they are knocked out. Or dead.
In Chicago last year, two black people killed a Mexican immigrant and grandfather as he was collecting cans in a downtown alley. The local press had trouble talking about the race of the perpetrators, but Mexican national news did not:Top 100 Black Mob Violence Videos #87: Spanish edition.
CNN however, was eager to report that the families of the black people arrested and later convicted of the crime after posting it on Facebook, were good boys who were just playing a “prank that got out of hand.”
In St. Cloud, Minn., a car full of black people came upon a college student in an alley walking two girls home from the library. The car screeched to a stop, one man got out, and hit 20-year old Colton Gleason in the face. He died. His attacker was convicted earlier this year after they jury rejected his defense that Colton and the two female college students he was walking home actually their car.
In March of this year, six black people were convicted in the stabbing death of Matthew Chew in New London, Connecticut. The headline tells the story:25-year-old victim loses Knockout Game
In Pittsburgh last year, several black people were caught on video punching a teacher in the face as they passed each other in an alley. That happened twice: Earlier that year, another teacher was almost killed as he slipped and fell in traffic while fleeing the Knockout Game, on video.
Last year in Meriden, Conn., DeAndre Felton and his 10 of his friends thought they found an easy mark for a bit of the old Knockout Game. They chose the wrong guy: He pulled a knife and killed DeAndre and wounded one other attacker. The attackers’ parents said their children were innocent, just like Trayvon.
In St. Louis earlier this year, a black person was sentenced to life for the Knockout Game death of a 72-year old Vietnamese immigrant. In St. Louis alone, a judge said one person was responsible for 300 episodes of the Knockout Game.
In Oklahoma earlier this year, an accused killer of the Australian college student Chris Lane tweeted that he was “playing golf” and hitting “woods” prior to the murder earlier this month. Woods is short for “peckerwoods:” White people. The Knockout Game. He said he did that five times since the acquittal of George Zimmerman for the death of Trayvon Martin. Anyone looking at the hundreds and hundreds of examples — many on video — knows this: The victims can be white. Or Asian. Or women. Or homosexual. But this much they have in common: All of attackers in the Knockout Game are black.
St. Louis writer, activist and boxing coach talks about the Knockout Game in his video blog. He says police ignore many Knockout Game assaults because they make the city look bad. The perpetrators are black and the victims are not, he says. But the boxing coach knows why:
“Most of the people who get beat up are vegans, gays, artists, non-violent types,” he says. “Many are kids from the suburbs or recent immigrants. People who are not prepared to defend themselves. There are white neighborhoods — blue collar, middle class neighborhoods — where these folks will not go because they know that people there are willing to defend themselves.”
“On Monday April 23rd, 2012 an elderly lady was attacked by a group of teenagers at the bus stop on Grand and Page. There has been no media coverage of this event. I have met several victims and the story is always the same going back to 2005.”
Finally, this week, it all got too much for Greta Van Sustern of Fox News. She did an “off the record” commentary, where she belled the cat and talked about “young African American teenagers viciously and gratuitously attacking a random victim — a teacher — in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.”
Greta gets points for identifying the attackers, but the victim was not random: He was white. Greta continues with her description of the Knockout Game then her commentary took a strange twist: She appealed to Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton for help in stopping this racial violence.
Totally ignoring the role Sharpton had in encouraging racial violence when in 1991 he was involved in three days of black mob violence directed at Jews in Crown Heights. “I beg of Reverend Jesse Jackson, Reverend Al Sharpton and even President Obama to step up right now and speak out,” said Sustern. Maybe they can have a beer summit.
