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.
“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
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.”
“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.”
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.
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.
But one week before and after his announcement, black mob violence exploded around the country. And it was most black school children. a sampling with some links:
The black mob violence in Louisville Saturday night was a lot worse than first reported.
But 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, stores looted, and many, many people in Louisville were quietly admitting this has been happening there for a while.
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.”
Two members of the National Association of Black Journalists know who is responsible: “Teenagers.”
Preview of a story at WND.
Down the freeway in Washington, D.C., local police released a video of a flash mob robbery at an upscale Georgetown clothing store. Over the NBC affiliate, National Association of Black Journalists Hall of Fame member Jim Vance opened the report by describing the robbers as a group of “teenagers.”
Fellow NABJ member Shomari Stone reported from the field, providing a similar description of the video robbery.
The recently released video from February 20th shows a dozen “teenagers” rushing into the True Religion Brand jeans store, gathering thousands of dollars worth of clothing, and rushing out. It does not appear that any of the clerks tried to stop them in any way.
Neither of the reporters mentioned all of the dozen marauders were black. And neither mentioned that during similar flash robberies in Washington and dozens of other towns, all of the suspects on video are black.
Shomari Stone made a national splash in 2011 in downtown Seattle when he and his camera crew came upon an assault in progress. Stone threw his body over the victim to protect him from the beating.
Media Bistro provided the twist: Stone saved a white supremacist: “When the victim, whose arms were covered in swastika tattoos, approached Stone to thank him after the incident, Stone, who is African-American, told the man, “Remember to judge the man by his character and not the color of his skin.”
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.

Amazing how often black on white violence is directed at bus drivers.
And how much is on video. This is as bad as it gets.
A preview of a story at WND.com.
Driving a bus is one of the most dangerous jobs in the country. Not from the accidents, but from the black mob violence and black on white crime that any bus driver will tell you is an every day part of their lives when they are behind the wheel.
The latest attack came Tuesday in Olympia, Washington. And it is caught on video: all 28 punches to the driver’s face when he was largely defenseless.
The video begins with the driver telling Kiel Duggins to leave the bus because he is harassing passengers and using abusive language toward them. Duggins refuses: “I have the right to hit you in the face,” he said. “And fight to the death.”
The fighting started soon after. That is what happens when you “hang around these Negro men,” Duggins said. “Your kingdom will fall. In pain.”
Soon after, Duggins left and was arrested two hours later. He sits in jail with a $20,000 bond. The driver sits at home with two black eyes and a broken nose. And a curious number of people in Olumpia who said the driver had it coming:
The bus driver “basically assaulted the black man,” said Frank Goz at a local news site. “That bus driver got what he deserved and I hope the black man gets off his assault charges.”
The following day in New York City, one police officer was shot two times in lower body after a removing a passenger who had refused to pay the fare. “The bus line is one of several that the police had begun monitoring at the request of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority because of an increase in assaults on bus drivers and other crimes,” said the New York Times.
Earlier this, a New York woman was a bus driver several times — on video — because she was upset the driver missed her stop. “She started attacking her, it was kind of crazy.”
State legislators proposed in 2012 requiring bus companies to build partitions to prottect the drivers. “Bus drivers are regularly punched, spat upon or otherwise abused by riders,” said the Daily News. “A crazed Brooklyn rider stabbed a bus driver with a syringe.”
There were more than 70 felony attacks on bus drivers that year.
In New Jersey in February, a black man attacked a bus driver. Police intervened and put him off the bus. The man returned and started attacking the driver again. And oh yeah, the man was naked the entire time, much to the entertainment of the other passengers.
In Flint Michigan in January, Police say a Mass Transportation Authority bus driver was punched in the face as part of the so-called “knockout game” that’s gained national attention, says MLive.com. Two black suspects were arrested and a third is being sought. The attack was captured on video.
In Dayton, Ohio earlier this week, three black people attacked, shot and stabbed a bus driver. The bus driver said he heard them talking about playing a version of the Knockout Game called “polar bear hunting.”
This refers to beating up white people.
Only a bible over the bus driver’s heart saved the two bullets from penetrating his chest. Even so, the bus driver was shot in the leg and stabbed in the arm.
In Kenosha, Wis., a black person attacked a bus driver because he did not like the way the bus driver talked to him. The bus driver fought back, but while the fight ensued, the bus rolled into a car — all on video.
At the end of January, Maquel Morris attacked a Greyhound bus driver and caused a crash that injured dozens of passengers. He was charged with assault after breaking through the barrier that separates passengers from the driver and punching the driver several times.Greyhound bus attack: Inmate Maquel Morris apologizes to dozens injured in crash – Story
From Louisville to Boston, Philadelphia to Orlando, Seattle to St. Louis, dozens of headlines and the videos tell the story: Bus drivers are under almost relentless attack. And the overwhelming number of people doing the attacking are black.
But bus drivers are fighting back. That is also on video. The most famous example came in Cleveland in 2012. When the video picks up, a young black woman is arguing then assaulting a black bus driver.
“You goin’ to jail, now,” he said, stopping the bus and getting out of his seat. As he does, the passenger continues to berate him and drop “N bombs” on him.
That is when the driver clenches his fist, drops it below his his waist, turns his shoulders away from the unruly passenger, then delivers an uppercut that every bus driver in America heard about within a few days.
The Cleveland bus driver lost his job. But gained a reputation for being a hero for drawing attention to the verbal and physical abuse drivers suffer every day.
“That happens to every bus driver,” said one employee of a public transit company. “I’m surprised we don’t see fight back more often.”
In a suburb of Toronto, seven black men attacked a man at McDonald’s. The paper was not squeamish about identifying the perps by race.
