Watch closely.
Pittsburgh High School for the Creative and Performing Arts English Teacher James Addlespurger, 50, was treating this group of young urban males the way we always hear them claim they want to be treated. He doesn’t take a defensive posture or give them a wide berth. He walked past them as honest young men, instead of ignoring them or treating them like thugs.
Here is his reward for treating them like humans.
(VIDEO AT LINK)
Addlespurger was lucky in that he survived. Colton Gleeson was murdered in a similar manner in St. Cloud just weeks ago. Hoang Nguyen was murdered in St. Louis last year.
All were victims of a barbaric practice that seems to belong exclusively to urban black teens, called the knockout game.
The goal is to knock out an unsuspecting victim with a single punch. In general, they aren’t trying to mug their victims. They aren’t trying to rape them… at least it hasn’t devolved to that yet. These thugs find amusement in hitting someone hard enough in the head that the victim’s brain slams against the side of the skull, causing the victim to lose consciousness.
They do it for fun.
The victims in every incident are uniformly white, with the exception of Hoang Nguyen who was apparently “white enough.” The perpetrators are uniformly black teens acting in small groups.
For years we’ve heard African-Americans males complain of being racially-profiled, treated like thugs, even though they’ve done nothing to deserve it.
Watch the video again.
Tell me what good treating this group of teens like respectable men did for James Addlespurger.
It certainly is a cultural problem. Black Culture.
Can we really separate race from culture?
If this had happened to a black man the media would be screaming “hate crime”.
Yours is the 17th. post and not one mention in the story or in the Posts of what this was. A Hate Crime.
The black kids who perpetrate this type of crime were brought up on hate. They were taught by their parents, their friends, and even people like Jackson and Sharpton—supposed men of God—to hate the white man. That IS their culture.
The black people who try to bring their kids up right are defeated by being called “Uncle Tom’s” and not being “black enough”. But even those who try to bring their kids up right are caught in the culture, too many vote Obama, because he is black.
A culture problem? Yes it is, Black culture,is racism, do not let anyone tell you that blacks cannot be racist, that is a steaming pile of crap.
Anyone who has watched almost 4 years of Obma and his racism should be able to figure that out.
Yes they are anomalies. However even Allen West is a member of the Black Caucus. What about other ‘anomalies’ such as Colin ‘I Love Obama’ Powell? Or Michael ‘Hip-Hop’ Steele,or JC ‘Black News Station’ Watts just top mention a few other of so called anomalies. Race and culture are intertwined not some totally separate occurrence that just pops up out of the ground. Just because you can mention a small percentage of those who go against the grain doesn’t change anything and even most of those when push comes to shove will side with their tribe.
I agree, indeed we can't although many in today's Marxist society insist they are totally desperate things. They make excuses. While maybe not 100% the same thing they are far from being mutually exclusive.
But wait! There is more!
487 different, documented, attacks (Including 340 murders) for being white on a public street.

I can't fully explain why violent crime is mostly confined to one group, but you cannot deny the fact that it is.
Terrorism has a political purpose, it’s not just random violence like these cases.
I said that it wasn't a racial thing (skin color, genetic make up), rather it was cultural. You debated that sentiment, then went on to state statistics that "Blacks" commit more crimes., etc. If you are arguing against it NOT being racial, then you are arguing that it IS about race. Couching it in the term "Ethnic Group" doesn't change things.
That's about as accurate as it gets.
My post wasn’t about hammering a particular race or racism. It was about telling the truth about violent crimes. I can point the finger at my own race (white) which is often more involved in white collar crimes involving corruption and fraud. If we want real change in our society we are going to have to call out PC for what it really is lying to excuse the actions of others and make them unaccountable for their own actions. If we want o move forward (no pun intended) we are going to have to be honest, stop making excuses, put our own shoulder to the wheel and hold ourselves and others accountable for their own actions.
I looked at various definitions of terrorism before posting my comment.
Michelle Malkin's parents are both Filipino(Asian), not black.
What some people call "stereotypes", others call "recognition of statistically significant correlation". Saying that "behavior X" has strong correlation with "Group A" does not mean that all members of Group A exhibit Behavior X, or even that most do. A group being responsible for most homicides even though being a small fraction of the population says something about the group.
Sentiment is turning against "Group A". If we reach a tipping point, it will be very ugly.
Looking at various breeds of dogs, one notices that certain breeds have genetic predispositions to certain behaviors. The average golden retriever does not behave the same as the average pit bull. This does not mean that there are not aggressive retrievers or docile affectionate pit bulls, but average behavior is something people take into consideration.
The politically-correct meme is that the only difference between races is outward appearance, and there is no correlation with average testosterone levels or other internal characteristics which might affect outward behavior.
I did no such thing. I was debating your statement that 'liberalism is the ideology that creates animals like this'. Blaming it on liberalism begs the question as to why it has not created animals like this in other ethnic groups. I went on to say in my next post that 'ethnic group encompasses culture, character and environment'.
If you are arguing against it NOT being racial, then you are arguing that it IS about race.
You defined 'racial thing' as 'skin color' and 'genetic make up'. Nothing at all to do with my use of the term 'ethnic group' which, to repeat, I defined as encompassing culture, character and environment.
...and smoking that pipe! Tobacco fumes! The horror! - Yes, we live in sad times...
What's interesting is that you do see this behavior from white people--in the UK, where liberalism has worked the same cultural damage on the white underclass. It's not behavior limited to blacks, but is seen in any group raised and nurtured with liberal principles.
And I agree with you.
Further condensing "group A" by including gender and age group likely brings it down to 4-5% of the population committing over half of the violent crimes.

Oh, come on now. You must know that genetic predispositions only apply to animals, not to humans.
Of course! That's why research showing that there is a gene predisposing for alcoholism, as well as genetic-caused differences in testosterone levels (link at #31) are just figments of researchers imaginations.
Some dem congressmen also mention once in a blue moon, totally spurious research that they think makes a case for a “racist gene” among people of western european descent.
If the government believes whiteness is a genetic disability, will they give me a check? ;^)
