Last week, four young blacks -- two males, both 18 years old; and two females, 18 and 24 years-old -- kidnapped a mentally disabled 18-year-old white boy and tortured him for 24 hours. Among other things, they kicked him, beat him, cut his scalp, made him drink from the toilet and made him kiss the floor while saying he loves black people. During the beatings, the suspects yelled out, "F--- white people, boy" and "F--- Donald Trump."
The victim was found by police on Jan. 3rd.
There are five important lessons to be learned from this episode.
1. Even after largely ignoring the story in the beginning, the mainstream media have barely covered it. And when they started to, the racial element was first ignored and then downplayed. The original Associated Press report not only did not mention the racist outbursts but it also never mentioned the race of the perpetrators or the race of the victim.
Under the headline "Chicago police investigate video beating," the AP report began: "Chicago police said Wednesday that they're investigating a video circulating on social media that shows several people beating a man at a residence. Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said at a news conference that four suspects, two males and two females, are in custody."
What makes the mainstream media's reporting a moral scandal is that every honest person living in America knows that if four whites had kidnapped a black, tortured him for hours, made him say "f--- Barack Obama" and "f--- blacks," and made him bow down to the floor and say, "I love white people," the story would have been on the front page of The New York Times and every other liberal and left-wing newspaper in the country; and it would have been the lead item on all news broadcasts and the subject of virtually every editorial and left-wing column. It would have been portrayed as more proof that America is racist, and that hate has taken over America since the election of Donald Trump.
For example, since the election of President-elect Trump, The New York Times has run a weekly column titled "This Week in Hate." In the Jan. 5 column, there was no mention of the crime. The lead story of the column involved a black transgender man who was attacked on the subway.
On Jan. 6, the Times finally had a feature article on the attack, but it had no mention of the central role that race, the hatred of whites and the hatred of Trump played in the incident. Titled "Beating of Disabled Teenager Highlights a Crime That Often Goes Unpunished," it portrayed the crime as a hate crime against the disabled.
It began saying: "The appalling video seized the nation's attention this week: A group of young people kidnapped, bound, beat, slashed, gagged, humiliated and threatened to kill a teenager with mental disabilities over nearly three days, and laughed about it as they carried out their acts."
And the left talks about right-wing "fake news."
2. The Chicago police also downplayed the most obvious aspect of the case.
The police spokesman, Commander Kevin Duffin, said at a news conference: "Kids make stupid decisions -- I shouldn't call them kids; they are legally adults, but they're young adults, and they make stupid decisions."
And Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said the act could not be labeled a hate crime: "I think some of it is just stupidity, people just ranting about something that they think might make a headline. I don't think that at this point we have anything concrete to really point us in that direction, but we'll keep investigating."
After the Chicago Police Department was attacked nationally for such remarks, it eventually concluded that it was indeed a hate crime.
3. Aside from the media's reaction, imagine what black America's reaction would have been had the races been reversed. The NAACP, the Black Lives Matter movement, the Congressional Black Caucus, the white left -- led by the irresponsible Southern Poverty Law Center -- and the mainstream media would have led an outburst of national hysteria about Trump-unleashed hate. And there would have been riots in Chicago and many other major American cities.
4. The most frightening aspect of the crime was that the racist sadists who committed it broadcast it live on Facebook, laughing all the way through. In this regard, they share something frightening with the Islamic State group. Unlike the Nazis and Communists, who tried their best to hide their atrocities, radical Islamists and these young blacks made every effort to inform the world about them.
This is actually a new low in the long, dark history of human evil. It is horrific enough to commit great evil. But to be proud of it to the point of wanting the world to know about it, that is a new level of evil.
5. A universal root of modern evil is the belief that one -- or one's group -- is, more than anything else, a victim, especially when it is based on a mostly false narrative. There would not have been a Nazi movement without the belief that the Germans were victims. That gave them the green light to hurt others with impunity. So has the vast lie that permeates the Islamic world -- that it is a victim of the West. And the same goes for individuals whose primary identity is that of victim.
The left's narrative that says blacks are victims more than anything else -- of "systemic" racism, racist police, racist banks, racist universities and white privilege -- will inevitably lead to more violence on the part of blacks. People who see themselves as victims lose their conscience -- especially when they aren't.
It is yet another way in which Democrats and the left have worsened the state of black America specifically and worsened the state of America in general.

What good is served at this point by whining about how the enemy media would behave if reversed?
Really? They would? NO Kidding! We all know this.
Ignore them and destroy them. There are other medias. The MAINSTREEM is changing. Ignore them! Starve them. Destroy them.
What’s really great, and this article failed to mention, is that not only does the CPD refuse to call this a racially based hate crime, that moron Superintendent Eddie Johnson called the whole thing a “prank-just kids being kids”.
Tbe last point is critical because all liberals see themselves as victims or oppressed, when the vast majority of them are the oppressors.
Its why i say, you know things are going be rough when the empire thinks its the resistance.
These people who are the inquisitors think they are the ones being tortured.
Keep in mind the five year old girl that was raped in IDAHO-her kid rapist, one 'em, was from the Sudan.
That said, I dropped my 19 year old back off at school on Sunday. It was still pretty vacant and helping her carry stuff to her apartment I saw, maybe, 25 people total. Of that 25, I'd say 12 were Africans. Of those 12 only two were female.
And this WAS INSIDE the gates of the honors college apartments.
Is there anyone who does not believe that many blacks would try to enslave whites or be pro white slavery if they had the opportunity?
Where is the narrative that Trumps evil racist america produced these children and made them do what they done did?
Cuz that’s how liberals think. Muslims wouldn’t attack us if we would just leave them alone. And when we “dis” them, they have every right to blow people up! Just like blacks who get “dissed”.
Yeah, thanks to they US and the rest of the world supplying the food to keep the, breeding. Are you really an Austrian? I crossed that beautiful country by car around 2001. It was stunning.
Remorseful?!? Stoned, maybe.
Could be. I had wondered that too.
I’ve never been so drunk that I could/would harm a handicapped person.
Exactly! As a little blonde haired blue eyed very shy girl, I was targeted by angry blacks quite a bit. I took a different route home from school every day. This was in the 60’s and 70’s, in Milwaukee. The school I went to had inner city kids bussed in. We left Milwaukee after I got out of jr. high, and I never looked back.
Good article.
True.
I wish I had been there to assist you. My good friend’s daughter was a handsome blonde girl in HS. She was harassed constantly by the Africans and called white bitch, etc and was asked for money on a weekly basis. She was caught by 3 of them at her locker following an athletic event ( she ran track) and a white kid told them to leave her alone. The 3 of them jumped him and beat him unconscious. When help arrived the affies were gone and not a dam thing was done about it.
Me too!! I saw sooo much of this and I know it is so much worse now, can’t imagine living anywhere near these animals.
Similar to the fake “Trump is a pervert” stories that the leftwing media bought and ran with.
Actually, they do a lot of this for us. But it doesn’t work out as you’d imagine.
The left perpetrates “hate” hoaxes on a pretty regular basis. The original story gets plenty of time on the news and generates tons of anti-white (or anti-Christian or whatever) uproar, then it is uncovered that the “victim” is actually a hoaxer who lied. At that point the story dies a quiet death and if it’s reported on at all, it’s buried on page 37C in a one-inch retraction at the bottom of the page.
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
Yes, imagine that part if the roles were reversed. White kids “just being kids.” I’m sure that would fly. NOT.
Between the four of them I doubt they have 100 IQ points.
Putting them in prison will probably keep the two bookends from getting killed on the street, more’s the pity.
