More thoughts on race relations

This article from Thomas Sowell is a fair read:

A Censored Race War?

When two white newspaper reporters for the Virginian-Pilot were driving through Norfolk, and were set upon and beaten by a mob of young blacks -- beaten so badly that they had to take a week off from work -- that might seem to have been news that should have been reported, at least by their own newspaper. But it wasn't.

"The O'Reilly Factor" on Fox News Channel was the first major television program to report this incident. Yet this story is not just a Norfolk story, either in what happened or in how the media and the authorities have tried to sweep it under the rug.

Similar episodes of unprovoked violence by young black gangs against white people chosen at random on beaches, in shopping malls or in other public places have occurred in Philadelphia, New York, Denver, Chicago, Cleveland, Washington, Los Angeles and other places across the country. Both the authorities and the media tend to try to sweep these episodes under the rug as well.

In Milwaukee, for example, an attack on whites at a public park a few years ago left many of the victims battered to the ground and bloody. But, when the police arrived on the scene, it became clear that the authorities wanted to keep this quiet.

One 22-year-old woman, who had been robbed of her cell phone and debit card, and had blood streaming down her face said: "About 20 of us stayed to give statements and make sure everyone was accounted for. The police wouldn't listen to us, they wouldn't take our names or statements. They told us to leave. It was completely infuriating."

The police chief seemed determined to head off any suggestion that this was a racially motivated attack by saying that crime is colorblind. Other officials elsewhere have said similar things.

Thomas Sowell is one of the greatest minds of our time.  I'm never disappointed by anything he writes.

O'Reilly covered the Norfolk story,....and yet,...it is so (crickets chirping) silent....in the other news outlets.

Just like the Wisconsin Fairgrounds, or the Philly beatdowns....or the Missouri beatings, or the Tampa assaults, or, or, an or,....

But hey "We", according to TIME magazine have the first Gay President.....

Goerbell's would be proud.

Each new generation born is in effect an invasion of civilization by little barbarians, who must be civilized before it is too late.
