COURT HOUSE – Colin Flaherty is a noted journalist for 30 years, whose works have appeared in major newspapers including The New York Times, Washington Post and Los Angeles Times, and has been published in 1,000 sites around the world and received 50 journalism awards. Flaherty made an appearance Nov. 3 at Atlantic Cape Community College to speak about black-on-white violence, a topic, he stated, which does not receive much press.
The subject makes editors uncomfortable, Flaherty said. Liberals, he said, cringe at the idea of black-on-white violence and police underreport it.
Flaherty documented cases in Chicago where Mayor Rahm Emanuel denied it, and in Philadelphia where Mayor Michael Nutter diminished it.
Flaherty appeared at Helen McCaffrey’s American History II class, Francis Raucher’s English class, and John Alvarez’s theatre class, to discuss his book, White Girl Bleed A Lot, and thesis that black-on-white crime is increasing, and that it is not sufficiently covered in the press establishment.
Flaherty said that race riots are occurring and they are largely ignored. Political correctness has reached a new high, according to Flaherty, as TV affiliates, newspaper editors and mayors fall all over themselves to avoid attributing race to the attackers, who are, he said, predominantly young black men.
McCaffrey, who teaches history at Atlantic Cape, introduced Flaherty. “The purpose of coming to college is to explore ideas, new ideas, and to think. If we are not making you uncomfortable, we are not making you think. Ask questions,” she said, “and feel free to agree or disagree. That’s how you learn to think.”
Asked about how the speaker got invited, McCaffrey replied, “I heard him on the radio, and I thought that he presented an unheard point of view. I told him that he needed to talk to college students, and he said, ‘Let’s do it.’”
Flaherty’s book, which is a bestseller on Amazon, begins: “Racial violence is back. In hundreds of episodes across the country since 2010, groups of black people are roaming the streets of America, intimidating, stalking, vandalizing, stealing, shooting, stabbing, raping, and killing.
“In private, they said that it was the Asian students’ fault. Lots of racism is targeted at immigrants, especially Asians, by young black men,” he said.
The students were also complaining because the administration did nothing to protect them. One video, featuring a black youth, said that the object was not racism, but financial opportunity. The people were helpless, had cell phones, did not speak English well and were not able to retaliate. They were afraid. So they were targeted.
Flaherty also detailed incidents of “knockout,” a game wherein a black mob appears and several members knock over elderly women or men, or a single person, while others beat them. The rest of the assembly stands by and cheers.
Flaherty said he addresses the problem like an old-fashioned newspaper reporter. He doesn’t ask why, he doesn’t comment on the causes, he just states the facts. He doesn’t care why it is happening, he cares that it is happening, and he thinks that truth is better than fiction. “And if it is happening, it ought to be covered,” he said.
In his book, Flaherty delineated a list of 90 cities under attack. Beginning with Atlantic City, the narrative continues across the country, including anecdote after anecdote, which includes Miami Beach ‘black beach parties,’ and college campus riots in Philadelphia and in the Midwest.
Closer to Cape May County, Flaherty reported many cases of black-on-white violence in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Wilmington, Washington, D.C. and New York.
He talked about liberals who want to give reasons for the behavior but who fail to recognize it for what it is. He mentioned newspapers calling attackers ‘youths,’ but never presenting their color. He talked about the newspapers minimizing the situation.
At one point during the talk at Atlantic Cape, a voice from the audience shouted, “Are you a racist?” That was Leon Hart, a black man.
“No, I’m just giving you the facts,” Flaherty replied.
Discussing Ferguson, Mo., Flaherty said that NBC reported, “The protests at Ferguson have been largely peaceful.” However, the police in the area had purchased $172,669 worth of tear gas, grenades, and other body armor. Demonstrations, he said, were violent, rampant with Molotov cocktails, gunfire, and residents were beaten.
Flaherty said the event was documented with videos, 911 calls, police reports.
He said that the reason a lot of black violence goes unreported is fear. In Philadelphia, he said, there are 2,500 cases of intimidation on the books. People were attacked in their homes, police went and broke it up, the attackers left, and then went back and threatened destruction if anyone spoke about it.
Flaherty went on to describe “polar bear hunting,” where blacks get together and beat up whites. It occurs, he said, at “a lot at colleges, like the University of Illinois. It’s always a lot worse than what I describe. Every story I do, people come up to me and say, ‘Oh yeah, that’s been happening around here, too.’”
I truly believe libs want to disarm whites so they can be shut down and herded by a viscous group in the US like they do to white majorities in Europe.
Blacks declaring open war on whites...well with legal arms and self defense available to whites, that would be a lost cause for the liberals’ street thugs.
Right after the election I saw a change in attitude here in the north philly suburbs. I don’t believe it is necessarily being promoted by the new administration, but it’s just like what has happened in South Africa. Google that horror.
It is what happens in every nation, every country, between all cultures. People are evil. The thing with the surge is there is an underlying knowledge of non-retaliation.
Freedom and change is now freedom from the law. Did things change when OJ went free? Is that when the rise started? Is that when the white man was not protected under the judicial system and things WERE EVEN?
If a person had the threat of the death penalty for murder, no matter the race, would the murder rate go down? It went down in NYC under Giuliani. Why?
The one thing this administration did exemplify is that the law of the land has no meaning and the police departments have been cut like our military. Imagine being a policeman without ever winning the war.
How can a marxist revolution occur without a majority? What the key is in this administration is the Koran. He might promise communism with equal money (no jobs necessary) but make Islam the state religion. Now that’s a combination made in hell.
Fear. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom and the Savior of the world will rule with a rod of iron. It will be with true justice. The color of all hearts and minds are the same.
I didn’t think the posts applied to all cities, just the ones where low income housing was created. I recall learning in school (60’s) that cities would eventually be black with all white people living in the suburbs. When the cities were trashed the white people would then go back in and buy the slums for nothing and rebuild. Don’t know if the second part is happening.
Just wondering, what about the poor whites?
As the Salvation Army used to say, you can’t take the man out of the slums until you take the slums out of the man.
Section 8 people remain slumdwellers at heart; and their attitudes have to be changed first, before you can move them into the suburbs.
Moving them into the suburbs won’t change them, make them love learning, turn one-parent families into two-parent families, etc.,m anymore than giving them some money or freebees will change them. It just moves them.
That’s ‘cause Obama and Holder are giving all those of color involved “get out of jail free” cards. Forever.
"Largely peaceful" implies "partially violent"
“I truly believe libs want to disarm whites so they can be shut down and herded by a viscous group in the US like they do to white majorities in Europe.
Blacks declaring open war on whites...well with legal arms and self defense available to whites, that would be a lost cause for the liberals’ street thugs.”
It can’t work. There have been too many wars fought involving Americans over the past century for us to just lay down to an internal agitation group. They’d be slaughtered, then whites would be vilified but whites would survive.
There’s no way it can happen—agreed!
It will make an intifada look like a preschool play if libs try their crap on whites with gun control and herding like they do in Europe.
OhVomit is a disciple of Charles Manson and is trying to bring about Helter Skelter.
This virus came to us via the "children" from Central America Obola allowed to enter the US this past spring and summer. He violated laws and regulations designed to protect the American People from exactly such risks. But Obola's priorities are the interests of other people, not the interests of the American People. The Obola Administration has expressly stated this, when they opposed a travel ban from the Ebola hot zones in West Africa, because it would hurt the economies of West Africa. Yes, they've said that and they've said it more than once.
I hope they know that there are limits to everything.
Of course not. In Marxist theory the American black underclass would be considered lumpenproletariat, essentially beyond redemption and suitable only as cannon fodder in the class warfare to come. It is to the everlasting shame of the black racial establishment that they have been and are colluding in the destruction of the Black community.
When California Democrats moved to limit the number of Asians in state colleges, the Asian public was outraged but the Asian organizations, run by leftists, all supported the measure to discriminate against their own people.
Never trust elites.
Yep. It will come to a screeching halt when it encounters enough armed citizens.
“Low income housing needs to be dispersed, and is being dispersed.”
Spread the ferals and their crime to otherwise nice neighborhoods and schools? I think that is super stupid. It sounds like the kind of idea the gubmint would come up with.
Was I clueless in Oklahoma?
