If you point out a wave of racial mob violence, you are "race-baiting," according to several liberal commentators. Perhaps these liberals are the ones Attorney General Holder referred to when he called ours a "nation of cowards."
The wave of racist violence committed by black flash mobs is different from any other form of racism today. The neglected social problem of racial mob violence is unique in its organization, the high numbers of people involved, the intensity of the violence, and the stark racial impact of that violence. The violence is also unique in that it has been purposefully obscured by the mainstream media, with the editor of the Chicago Tribune, among others, saying that his paper will not report on the race of the attackers.
The hateful murders of Matthew Shephard, who was gay, and James Byrd, Jr., who was black, were memorialized with national legislation. When similar crimes are committed by blacks against whites, they are greeted with ignominious silence. Just ask your friends how many of them are familiar with the murder of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsome, or David Graham. How many are familiar with Hoang Nguyen, who was killed in a senseless "game" called the knock-out game, in which mostly black attackers attack mostly non-black victims?
Now that some news...

Alex Pareene of Slate complains, "Since Obama actually took office, though, Drudge has seriously stepped up his 'scary black people' coverage." Pareene is naturally too thoughtless to consider that the attacks have largely emerged after Obama took office, with the first serious outbreak occurring in Philadelphia in 2009. The New York Times must be racist for reporting on that event. Of course it's "race-baiting" to point out unique problems that have emerged or worsened under this president -- like flash mobs, debt, and entitlements...

>> Hate crimes legislation really is a negative sticking point with me
Same here. It’s unconstitutional as far as I’m concerned.
>> Punishment is not equal under the law, and that is a problem.
Agreed.
Excellent point. Thanks for the addition.
recently there was one @ Howard University where it appeared they were turning on each other.
I never did see anyone report about what they were fighting over.
As long as you keep pointing that out scrupulously, I don't think anyone can accuse you of indulging in fallacies, like wrong direction, hasty generalization, undistributed middles, false analogies, or errors of composition.

My poor old 56K dialup modem thanks you :)
Yeah, that's RiNO-speak.
Ignore. Better still, get refractory and question this clown's assumption of authority.
Any time...
I think he's more of a classical liberal, i.e. a conservative these days. He wants all the useless nonsense from the progressives dumped. I believe he's a democrat like Victor Davis Hanson.

Its really worth the read.
That's why I linked it in comment# 1.
Thanks for the link.
Other commenters cannot find their brooms fast enough to suit them. I would wager most of them are potential and quite likely future Palin/Bachmann/Cain supporters, once the campaign gets underway.
The next conservative President will have the very unenviable task of cleaning the Augean Stables left behind by FDR, LBJ, Slick Willie, and Obozo. It's going to be a back-breaker, and the media will be carping all the way.
It's interesting that the writer of your linked article does not blink at, but quickly acknowledges, liberal media bias in handling stories like this one -- while asserting good motives (such as were on display in the Matthew Shepard case? Oh, please!).
Thanks for the feedback!

Some noteworthy articles about politics, foreign or military affairs, IMHO, FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.
You’re not only being racist, but ageist as well! It’s very insensitive to point out that they are mostly young.
3 days of looting and rioting in London and their media is pointedly NOT mentioning any race.
Who made the accusations?
.
This same attitude is applied to black crime in general. I read yesterday on Free Republic (I can’t recall the author) that for the past ten years in America black men have raped between 15,000 and 33,000 white women annually. White men have raped less than ten black women annually. Such a discrepancy would be headline news if reversed.
bump
The MSM covers the race of criminals when they're white. Black criminals get a pass. That's racist..
Just further proof of how racist white men are...
