Liberals and the Knockout Game
Jared Taylor, American Renaissance, December 7, 2013
For once, they’re right.
The “knockout game,” in which young black men try to knock out an unsuspecting stranger with a single punch, is finally getting national attention—as it should. It’s nasty business. If whites were knocking out blacks it would be a national scandal.
But since whites are the victims, and since the capacity of elite whites to excuse black violence is one of the wonders of the modern world, the New York Times and National Public Radio have told us there is nothing to worry about. As late as November 22, New York City Police Chief Raymond Kelly was saying, “We’re trying to determine whether or not this is a real phenomenon.”
It’s a real phenomenon, alright. Even Al Sharpton says so, and he’s not known for noticing black misbehavior. There have been hundreds of reports of the game, and some of them go back years. A 2009 article from Denver, Colorado, quoted a black minister, Leon Kelly, who runs a gang-prevention program:
“They knock a young white guy out with one blow to see if his knees will wobble and surround them and take their money.”
Rev. Kelly added that young blacks record the attack on video, replay it endlessly, and roar with laughter when they see the victim go down.
That Denver story is four years old. And by 2010, people were already calling the game “polar bear hunting” because blacks like to play it with whites. . . .
'Liberals' are great for inconsistent situational arguments. So when confronted with sane common-sense people saying that the 'Knockout Game' is part of an epidemic of black-on-white violence, they forget all about hiding or minimizing black crime and reflexively counter that this is all blown up out of proportion and is only ho-hum black crime as usual. However they will soon no doubt merrily buzz back to their PC hive by attributing these attacks to: growing up in the ghetto, a history of slavery, institutional racism, not enough youth programs, white privilege, etc, etc.
On our side, if countless whites being blindsided and having their heads casually squashed as if they were dimwitted potato bugs by packs of laughing blacks does not soon cause a significant pro-Western political movement, including a political party that is not hopelessly entangled with open-borders libertarians, it is hard to see what will ever awaken our people.
