Evil flourishes when good men do nothing, and too many conservatives have been wobbly about recent racial violence trends...
...In June of 2011, at least two people had been killed as a result of the sadistic, racially charged knockout game. Since then, there have regularly been unprovoked attacks by black teens against non-black victims. Now, finally, after a series of attacks against Jewish pedestrians in New York City, mainstream conservatives are discussing the knock-out game. Fox News reports that the death toll from the "game" is now seven.
With only a few exceptions, including the American Thinker, until very recently few conservative news outlets would touch these stories, or the racial realities highlighted by the attacks.
Some will chalk this conservative timidity up to political correctness. But something far worse is going on. Whether the issue is amnesty, or affirmative action, flash mobs, or the knock-out game, too many mainstream conservatives seem intent on turning their backs on vulnerable non-minorities.
If you're a worker stuck with low wages and few hours, a white student applying for college admissions, or a victim of racist pastimes, then Conservatism, Inc. will not stand up for you. At least not when minorities are involved.
It's one thing for politicians to play it safe. We expect the worst from them. But journalists and commenters are supposed to "speak truth to power."
There were all sorts of indications that this was a trend, and a significant story. In 2011, the National Association of Black Journalists gave a St. Louis reporter a major award for his article, "Knockout King: Kids Call It a Game. Academics Call It a Bogus Trend. Cops Call it Murder."
There are all sorts of ways for scared conservatives to ignore racial issues. One is to ride the high horse.

It has been on the internet for a long time..
Give Sean Hannity credit for getting the ball rolling on the subject.
Good question.
My take is that Conservatism, Inc. thought they were doing more by trying to defeat Grievance Inc. at the ballot box than going after knockout cases. Remember Rove-Morris-Hannity?
There’s nothing like having the problem outside your door to get your attention. Kind of like the Liberal who gets mugged.
But thankfully the apple cart has been upset for a change.
if you go where the brother man go, don’t forgot to bring protection (no Elisabeth, not a condom)
finally something beside fawning over RINOs I get to give Hannity credit for....
Yup and that’s the only place people are going to get the truth about this.
If you're a worker stuck with low wages and few hours, a white student applying for college admissions, or a victim of racist pastimes, then Conservatism, Inc. will not stand up for you.
OMG - someone 'gets it'. Thank you Charles Martel...
Great read...
They are known as the fifth-column media - traitors to the United States of America.
Deal with the racial violence coming from the whitehut.
Because he doesn't help anyone but himself
People will lie, spin, and do all kinds of mental acrobatics to avoid being called racists, or appearing to say something negative about black people, or singling them out when casting blame. The reason for the added caution is that black people are a protected demographic, and societal standards that apply to other demographics don’t apply to blacks. Over the years, in their inner city conclaves, groups of blacks have devolved into predatory, hunter/killers that have broken the bonds that tie them to the rest of humanity, but they are still part of a protected demographic. People don’t know what to do with them, including black people who wish to remain with and benefit from the rest of humanity and culture.
This is where PC takes us. I suggest we get away from the stigma applied to the term racist. It is used so inappropriately and frequently that it has no more significance than when black people call other blacks niggers, or when white people call white people crackers. So what? By PC standards all people other than blacks are racists, and blacks can’t be racists. Half the white people on the left hide behind political monikers like liberal, Democrat or leftist to escape shards of racism being hurled their way. Come out. Those shards aren’t real. They are like sugar glass in the movies. Start telling the truth, and help society for a change.
Colin Flaherty on WorldNetDaily.com has been reporting the Knockout Game - injuries and deaths - along with black violent flash mobs for months.
Answer: as true members of the GOPe, they are too chicken to rile the urban apes, the Leftists and the Obammunist lickspittle media by shining light on what's really going on.
