The Elite Media Monoculture does not want to deal with this story and so you won’t see it in the major daily papers or on the network news. As Sowell writes, the Chicago Tribune has publicly stated that they will not report the race of the mobs attacking white people in the city, nor do they want to allow comments on their stories on line to do so. For the media this is a story which cannot be allowed to see the light of day because it does not fit the leftist narrative. And so the only way you will find out about it is by going to new media.
But the word is slowly getting out, even if the old media is ignoring it. Through blogs, YouTube and talk radio these growing attacks by feral blacks on the law abiding portion of the population are becoming more known every day. The interesting question is what will happen when they become so well known to the general population as to create a tipping point in culture? How will the majority population react when they see this behavior as typical of black people as a whole? How will it change the political landscape?
It is perhaps too soon to tell, but I suspect that the changes will be significant and not to the benefit or liking of blacks.
Ignoring racial violence only guarantees that it will get worse. The Chicago Tribune has publicly rationalized its filtering out of any racial identification of attackers and their victims, even though the media do not hesitate to mention race when decrying statistical disparities in arrest or imprisonment rates.
Such mob attacks have become so frequent in Chicago that officials promoting conventions there have recently complained to the mayor that the city is going to lose business if such widespread violence is not brought under control.
But neither these officials nor the mayor nor most of the media use that four-letter word, “race.” It would not be politically correct or politically convenient in an election year.
Reading Colin Flaherty’s book made painfully clear to me that the magnitude of this problem is even greater than I had discovered from my own research. He documents both the race riots and the media and political evasions in dozens of cities across America.
Flaherty’s previous writings have won him praise and awards, but this book has been met largely with silence or abuse. However much ignoring the ugly realities that his book reveals may serve the interests of the media or politicians, a cover-up is a huge disservice to everyone else — whether black, white or whatever.
Even the young hoodlums who launch these mass attacks on strangers would be better off to be stopped now, rather than continue on a path of escalating violence that can lead to a lifetime behind bars or to the execution chamber.
The dangers to the nation as a whole are an even bigger problem. The truth has a way of eventually coming out, in spite of media silence and politicians’ spin. If the truth becomes widely known, and a white backlash follows, turning one-way race riots into two-way race riots, then a cycle of revenge and counter-revenge can spiral out of control, as has already happened in too many other countries around the world.
Most blacks and most whites in the United States today get along with each other. But what is chilling is how often in history racial or ethnic groups that co-existed peacefully for generations — often as neighbors — have suddenly turned on each other with lethal violence.
