From time to time, the media tell the truth about issues that have a racial edge, usually by accident. Such was the case in February of this year, when a local TV news crew visited a largely black St. Louis neighborhood to follow up on a hit-and-run incident.
A speeding car had struck two ten-year-old boys and kept on going. Local people were outraged. School principal Stella Erondu told the reporter, "It's just like the wild, wild west. Anyone can do whatever, drive however they want on these streets." Other neighbors echoed her comments.
The reporter on the scene had no reason to doubt the neighbors. While he was there monitoring the intersection in question, an estimated 50 percent of the drivers blew right through the stop sign.
Back at the studio, the news anchor expressed shock at the "blatant disregard for children, the laws, everything in this neighborhood." He called the situation "unbelievable." It may have been unbelievable in the anchor's neighborhood, but in urban St. Louis, reckless driving is something of a norm.
If these local news people were willing to shed some light on a serious problem, their betters at the Washington Post prefer to keep their readers in the dark. A recent Post article that focused on St. Louis led with the perfectly useless headline "Pedestrian deaths soar nationally as SUV use increases."
The reporter made the case that pedestrian deaths nationwide were up 46 percent from 2009 and attributed the increase to there being more SUVs on the road. This correlation explained close to nothing. From 2006 to 2013, as SUVs increased in number, pedestrian deaths declined, as did overall auto fatalities, the latter by 25 percent.
Pedestrian fatalities did not start spiking until 2015. In that year, they increased 9 percent from the prior year.

"N*gga don' wan no hep, N*gga don't get no hep"
(Note: This was the original line -- NOT "Chump")
Satan loves political correctness and any other form of deception.
“Eeeeeevil SUVs”
It’s just racist to expect black people to obey laws. Laws are part of white culture.
SPEAK, Sista June, SPEAK
Urban pedestrians play a deadly game of chicken, sauntering carelessly and slowly across streets, forcing the drivers to evade or collide.
The Stop signs were on the wrong sides of the intersection
Was Laura Bush driving?
When they were considering a potential project to finance they did a lot of research and market studies to determine if the project was likely to be viable and profitable. That didn't surprise me. What DID surprise me was the type of information they considered as the single most important indicator of a project's viability: motor vehicle accident records for the area where the project would be built.
In a nutshell ... this bank had used these records to identify jurisdictions -- including entire nations, in some cases -- where they wouldn't invest any money in a real estate project. Their rationale was that the frequency and types of fatal motor vehicle accidents were highly accurate indicators of areas where the culture was so dysfunctional that any investment would be a bad idea.
A real life version of the Frogger game. It seems the same no matter where you are. Too lazy to go to the intersection.
Compare this idiocy with some Asian cities where pedestrians won’t cross a street against a red light even at 2:00 AM when there isn’t a car to be seen within a mile of the intersection.
Feral animals. Just like the section 8 tenants that moved in next-door to me.
The problems of the non-Whites are largely the result of their self-defeating actions.
Then it’s achieving its purpose.
Cut me some slack, Jack!
Unfortunately it also becomes a problem for whites.
“A speeding car had struck two ten-year-old boys and kept on going.”
It would be tantamount to committing suicide to stop.
