In Russia, even the whites of non-Russian ethnicity sometimes face trouble.

When you throw bricks at a person because they are white, it is a hate crime. If you were just throwing bricks at anyone, it would be punk violence. I would like to know why these people were not prosecuted for hate crimes.

>>"We've grown as a community," Harmon said. "We've put that behind us."

Because you said so?

What, exactly, has caused this "growth", and what evidence do we have that it has actually had a desireable effect?

A story of similar, and much larger, rioting from early 2001 was totally overshadowed by 9/11 later in the year. The Cincinnati riots were similarly a reaction to police shooting thugs, and were very poorly reported by the LSM. The unfiltered reports here at FreeRepublic made me a real believer in the power of the Internet in general, and FR in particular, to sidestep the LSM. I kept up a backhoe-like collection of links on that event, that I'll post here:

Links of Interest on the Cincinnati Riots

Far from a complete list. It's possible more than Thread 8 has been deleted.

Free Republic "15 black men killed since 1995" Cincy Post

Read this so you understand what fine citizens the police have been shooting in Cincy. This summarizes the cases of the men shot over the last several years.

While this latest case is very questionable and deserves a serious investigation, most of these are pretty open-and-shut: Perp actively commits mayham, is challenged by the police, ignores police, perhaps actively assaulting them, perp takes the eternal celestial dirt nap via police action.

And, Oh!, Yeah! - Barry Horstman of the Cincy Post doesn't want you to know this (see the item two lines down).

The good reverend is dead wrong. That's the same old Liberal excuse. Slavery, repression, etc.. was generations and a transfer of trillions ago (the Great Society...which ruined black families). Blame the democratic party, mass media, MTV, movies, and con artists like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Maxine Waters, etc., who shout victimhood and line their pockets at the expense of people they pretend to care about.

And a popular culture that glamorizes athletes beyond belief. So little kids dream of being another McNab or Shack. They take things literally. What they see on TV is more real to them than what goes on in their own lives. Who needs school? Just shoot baskets or throw a football, and you've got it made. Or sell drugs. You can make more money selling drugs on a weekend than some dope with a fulltime job earns in six months.

St. Pete representing!!

[gunnedah]

This has gone on for years unreported by the MSM and the Federal Government. It is nothing new. Black on White Crime is anywhere 12 to 16 times higher than vice-versa and Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton stir up their goons to blackmail localities and corporations with the threats of riots and it will not stop until the civilian population takes a stand one way or the other. Whites have been victims for well over 40 years now simply because we have been brainwashed by our government and the media.

[CarrotAndStick]

Oops! I guess I should read the entire article before making smart comments.

[MajorityOfOne]

Black on white hate crime? What a racist concept! (sarcasm alert)

[the gillman@blacklagoon.com]

There is no way for a free republic to survive after having accepted "hate crimes" as legitimate law.

[Texas_Jarhead]

Just when you thought it couldn't get any more absurd.

"In those, nearly all the suspects were black, and all of the 29 victims except one were white. No one was arrested in those incidents, but police still classified them as hate crimes."

How can they record a hate crime when no one is even charged with a crime in the first place?

[ncountylee]

"A lot of the things that we're experiencing today can be traced back to slavery, segregation, oppression,"

Getting tired of hearing this BS.

[Centurion2000]

LOL ... I thought they were referring to St Petersburg Russia and thinking, My God, the Russians would stomp black FLAT if they did this.
