Is A Race War Being Censored To Avoid White Backlash?

Is A Race War Being Censored To Avoid White Backlash?

By THOMAS SOWELL

When two white newspaper reporters for the Virginian-Pilot were driving through Norfolk, and were set upon and beaten by a mob of young blacks — beaten so badly that they had to take a week off from work — that might seem to have been news that should have been reported, at least by their own newspaper. But it wasn't.

"The O'Reilly Factor" on Fox News Channel was the first major television program to report this incident. Yet this story is not just a Norfolk story, either in what happened or in how the media and the authorities have tried to sweep it under the rug.

Similar episodes of unprovoked violence by young black gangs against white people chosen at random on beaches, in shopping malls or in other public places have occurred in Philadelphia, New York, Denver, Chicago, Cleveland, Washington, Los Angeles and other places across the country. Both the authorities and the media tend to try to sweep these episodes under the rug as well.

In Milwaukee, for example, an attack on whites at a public park a few years ago left many of the victims battered to the ground and bloody. But, when the police arrived on the scene, it became clear that the authorities wanted to keep this quiet.

One 22-year-old woman who had been robbed of her cell phone and debit card, and had blood streaming down her face, said:

"About 20 of us stayed to give statements and make sure everyone was accounted for. The police wouldn't listen to us, they wouldn't take our names or statements. They told us to leave. It was completely infuriating."

The police chief seemed determined to head off any suggestion that this was a racially motivated attack by saying that crime is colorblind. Other officials elsewhere have said similar things.

A wave of such attacks in Chicago were reported, but not the race of the attackers or victims. Media outlets that do not report the race of people committing crimes nevertheless report racial disparities in imprisonment and write heated editorials blaming the criminal justice system.

What the authorities and the media seem determined to suppress is that the hoodlum elements in many ghettos launch coordinated attacks on whites in public places. If there is anything worse than a one-sided race war, it is a two-sided race war, especially when one of the races outnumbers the other several times over.

It may be understandable that some people want to head off such a catastrophe, either by not reporting the attacks in this race war, or not identifying the race of those attacking, or by insisting that the attacks were not racially motivated — even when the attackers themselves voice anti-white invective as they laugh at their bleeding victims.

Trying to keep the lid on is understandable. But a lot of pressure can build up under that lid. If and when that pressure leads to an explosion of white backlash, things could be a lot worse than if the truth had come out earlier, and steps taken by both black and white leaders to deal with the hoodlums and with those who inflame the hoodlums.

These latter would include not only race hustlers such as Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson but also lesser-known people in the media, in educational institutions and elsewhere who hype grievances and make all the problems of blacks the fault of whites. Some of these people may think that they are doing a favor to blacks.

But it is no favor to anyone who lags behind to turn their energies from the task of improving and advancing themselves to the task of lashing out at others.

These others extend beyond whites. Asian American school children in New York and Philadelphia have for years been beaten up by their black classmates. But people in the mainstream media who go ballistic if some kid says something unkind on the Internet about a homosexual classmate nevertheless hear no evil, see no evil and speak no evil when Asian American youngsters are beaten up by their black classmates.

Those who automatically say that the social pathology of the ghetto is due to poverty, discrimination and the like cannot explain why such pathology was far less prevalent in the 1950s, when poverty and discrimination were worse. But there were not nearly as many grievance mongers and race hustlers then.

He's always worth reading. I can't help but agree with him, here, again. Sowell is a great writer.

A person would be blind not to see what's going on. You can mistreat a caged dog for only so long before it finally snaps and bites the hand that hurts it. Sooner or later, somewhere, a group of people are going to finally have had enough and pay back the abuse they've received in spades. History is rife with such uprisings.

Some people only understand violence. This is why I've taught my own children to never allow themselves to be picked on, but to choose their battles wisely and make it count when they finally decide that it's time to start swinging because there will definitely be consequences to sort out once the dust settles. I figure sooner than later we'll see racial tensions peak in this country once again. Currently it would seem that there is a very violent, perhaps minority, component of black society that is damn near demanding a confrontation.

It's a shame, really. Martin Luther King would likely be appalled. Malcom X, not so much.

[mcurrier]

Absolutely and undoubtedly so.

[Caster]

I doubt that minority David speaks of would be so violent if they had the ability to grasp simple concepts. One in particular I find both interesting as well nauseating is their dependence on social programs paid for by the working class blue collars they seek to destroy. They fail to understand that their sloth coupled with the lack of intelligence or aptitude for anything productive make them a slave. An infuriating concept for them I'm sure! Which brings me full circle. Could this be the real reason behind their aggression?

I think the idea that all of the ones who are itching for conflict are slothful, stupid or don't have the necessary aptitudes for being productive and self-reliant is painting them all with a pretty wide brush. I think that for some of them, they've been taught from birth to lash out at non-black races for "keeping them down" and to take whatever they want by force. You see it in crowds when you get a shoulder from one of them rather than them politely step to the side as you do to let each other pass.

I'm also the guy that throws my weight into that shoulder and checks them hard when they do it. It may be a dangerous game to play, but it's all about mutual respect. Most of them time I get some mouthing in return, but they also know that they just found out where the line was with one guy and they tend to respect it, even if they mouth off a little in return.

I did 12 years in a public school system where there the student body was easily 60% black and 10% of them came from rough neighborhoods and brought that crap to school. I've seen this behavior my entire life. I learned early that if you stand your ground, you get messed with less. It was all about seeing if you were "hard" or soft. The soft kids had victim mentalities and got picked on a lot.

[Caster]

That only proves what a childish group of bullies they are.

[TGO David]

Sure. But those people come in all colors of skin. Like I said, history is rife with incidents where the abused finally got tired of it and started lashing out.

This isn't a black or white thing. It's a thug thing.

The motive was supposedly robbery, but they didn't take anything. How many have heard about this story?

[Caster]

This isn't a black or white thing. It's a thug thing.

Looking back, I should have liked to have made that abundantly clear from the start. Apologies to all.

No worries here. I'm very equal opportunity when it comes to my assessment of thuggery. Like I said, it comes in all colors, shapes and genders. Be vigilant.

[Guest 6.8 AR]

They are being egged on by the Jackson/ Sharpton wing of the Dem's revolutionary backup plan. It's been brewing for years.

It is a thug thing but is stemming from a race war attempt. It will be a sad day if those stirring the pot succeed.

Same here. I've seen it and lived it first hand. Norfolk, VA.

Did not hear that story.

Oh, I absolutely believe that the press is covering up hate crimes perpetrated by blacks. No doubt in my mind.

Folks, it's coming.

There is an article that has been floating around about a "Reichstag" event being staged so martial law can be established because of the event.By no means am I tin foil hat wearing conspiracy believer but I have noticed a change in the atmosphere.The event they speak of would be a class war instigated by the well known pot stirrers and what used to be news outlets.I do believe something wicked this way comes...

If ye want wealth over liberty,the tranquility or servitude, over the antimating contest of freedom go from us in peace.We seek not your counsels or arms.Crouch down and lick the hand which feeds you.May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget ye were out countrymen.

Although not directly related, this kind of thing is so wrong. The Feds interfering with this case some more

with the racial garbage being nudged by the NBPP could very well bring things to a head in this country.

These are trying times and evil people are working to upset all kinds of relations between races, classes

and the overall economy. some may be censoring racial tensions, but they won't be able to keep the lid

on it very long. I think every bit of it is orchestrated to time with the election.

The word you used, David, "thug", may be a mild one. I'll stick with communist aggression.

[gjohnsoniv]

It will most certainly be interesting to see how this turns out. I have a stupid question to ask though, how long is martial law, if implemented? Length of the "war?"

Let's continue to identify the obvious here. The media isn't going to report stuff like this because it ain't popular to report stories of black on white violence, especially if it is clear that it's racially motivated. The left runs the major media outlets. To do something unpopular in that community is to risk your livelihood. Isn't that what usually motivates people?

For the same reason the media WILL jump on white on black violence; that is a popular story. Just look at these white supremacists that were rolled up in Florida. This isn't a story; these were amateur criminals and the charges were hardly reflective of people with means or opportunity to start a race war.

Police departments might be apt to do the same thing. The folks that run these departments in big cities are just politicians hoping to hang on to power as long as possible. Why rock the boat and risk your livelihood? To arrest a bunch of punk kids for assault just to get lambasted by the media for racially motivated arrests? Not likely.

I don't like it either. I don't like it because our society has clear double standards, and it wasn't long ago those double standards went the other direction. How soon folks forget.

I don't see a "race war" or something like that ever happening. What I do see is a continued cycle of poor black kids being raised to resent whites because white people are the root of all their problems, which makes it okay to prey upon them. Major population centers will continue to devolve into Detroit-like areas and productive citizens will just move away. Funny that a lot of these mob attacks are taking place in cities that disarm the law abiding citizens.

[Caster]

Well, if we are on a mission to identify things, is this really so simple and focused as a race war? Is it possible this is just another piece of a larger puzzle? What better way to quell a major rebellion in this country than to instigate one sided skirmishes over something as paltry as racial tensions? Instigate a problem so they can implement a SOLUTION.

[TMF]

No, I just think its the direction we've been heading. Libs control the media and people can only be bombarded so much before they adopt a belief structure. Conspiracy, I don't think so. People just need to belong as much as they need people to think the way they do. This is evident in religion, politics, sports teams, diet fads, fashion, firearms preference, organic crap, scientology and Mac owners.

[Guest 6.8 AR]

"Is it possible this is just another piece of a larger puzzle?"

Yes, you hit the nail on the head. Add all of it up, Caster. I started to list the things, but just look back at all Obama

has done and his cronies, NBPP, Jackson/Sharpy. Add the money spent that will never be returned or paid back.

Consider things like SEIU, ACORN and a lot more and it becomes blatant after you think about it. No tin foil at all,

but it is obscene.

I'll give you scientology comment but you take the Mac comment back or the next one is for Trayvon Jobs
