Analysis: The 'Knockout Game' is about more than fistfights

Over the last few weeks, a horrid phenomenon known as "the Knockout Game" has spread across the United States like wildfire.

Generally speaking, it works like this: A group of teens or young adults single out an older individual. This unfortunate pedestrian is struck quickly and, before help can arrive, the attacking group runs off. Sometimes the victim is left with minor injuries, yet there are cases when an attack is fatal.

In virtually all Knockout assaults, the so-called gamers have been black. Their targets, meanwhile, belong to another race. This pattern is so pervasive that many of those who go on Knockout rampages call it "polar bear hunting."

A recent Knockout Game incident took place in an affluent Fort Myers, Fla., neighborhood.

Last Friday, Marisa Kendall of The News-Press, a local newspaper, reported that "(d)eputies said [15-year-old Traveshia] Blanks and four [high school basketball] teammates were filling time before a game Monday, walking through neighborhoods near the high school, when they came upon a 72-year-old man pulling weeds in his lawn. Video allegedly shot by one of Blanks' friends shows the group whispering as they approach the man. Then Blanks runs up behind him and kicks him, knocking him down. The group explodes into laughter and runs away.

"Blanks then allegedly knocked on a door a few blocks away, according to a Lee County Sheriff's Office report. When an 89-year-old man answered, she slapped him across the face."

She has been arrested and charged with two counts of battery on a person 65 years or older. The charges are third-degree felonies.

It should be obvious that those who embark on Knockout sprees do so for deeply personal reasons. These people obviously feel frustrated at the world around them. This boils over into an uncontrollable rage; something so consuming that they probably can't readily define it.

Try as no small number might, rational minds cannot ignore the racial angle, if not impetus, of Knockout Game attacks. Far too many young blacks appear to harbor extreme animosity toward others who look different than them. By and large, this disdain is directed at whites.

Knockout gamers weren't raised in an environment of Jim Crow-mandated discrimination. They never knew the soul-wrenching reality of being allowed to exercise fewer rights than the fellow across town just because of ancestral differences.

Simply put, the Knockout predators are rebels without reason. Their satisfaction is derived from violence for its own sake; in a single word, carnage.

Perhaps they seek non-black victims as a depraved means of righting injustices that some experienced long ago. Maybe they see the people assaulted as weaklings; easy marks and nothing more. Who knows? Many of them might have no idea; their actions could well be chalked up to mob mentality.

Whatever the case, there is a highly destructive subculture creeping around the country. It must be made history but this is easier said than done.

"While racism certainly still exists in contemporary America, is by no means the fundamental impediment to black achievement; indeed, it has become the all-purpose excuse for failure -- as well as the excuse for not facing up to the real reasons why so many blacks continue to lag behind economically and socially," Harry Stein, author of "No Matter What ... They'll Call This Book Racist: How Our Fear of Talking Honestly About Race Hurts Us All" told The Washington Times Communities last year.

He continued: "Yet so profound is the fear of being stigmatized as racist that almost no one, on the left or the right, is willing to have the honest conversation about race we so desperately need to have. For, inevitably, that conversation must focus on culture."

Needless to say, many of those carrying out the Knockout attacks won't listen to those outside of the black community when cultural criticism enters the picture. This is, to a certain level, understandable. After all, non-black Americans cannot fully understand black-interest issues; no matter what their politics are or how hard they try to walk a mile in others' shoes.

Any person who makes a claim to the contrary isn't evaluating the situation well enough. Or, far more troublingly, they make no effort in understanding the ever-sensitive, and perpetually changing, complexities of race relations.

This is why any serious progress in doing away with Knockout Game madness must come from within the black community. Sporadic speeches from Reverends Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson aren't apt to get the job done.

Young men and women must talk to their peers; it is they who stand the chance of building a movement against senseless street violence. The only question is whether enough will rally together in the name of peace and dignity. If this is done, then the Knockout Game should evaporate into thin air.

Should the status quo be maintained, however, then our nation is in for much more carnage and the social divisions sure to result from that.

Anyone who didn’t see this one coming just wasn’t looking. In our country’s recent history we’ve celebrated diversity in our population as if it were a good thing. However, one look at world history will show you that no country with a diverse population of different races, languages, and religion has long survived.

Countries don’t naturally form with a diverse population, and when in the past they’ve occurred it’s usually been as a result of armed conquest. These unnaturally formed countries have either melded together into a single population made up of one mixed race with one language and one religion or they’ve come apart, and they’ve usually come apart with extreme violence. The longer these diverse populations are forced to coexist with one another without mixing and becoming one, the more the hatred grows among them and the more violently they break apart, but break apart they will, or genocide will settle the issue once and for all.

Why is this and why can’t we all just get along? The truth of the matter is that we (the human race) just aren’t as civilized as we would like to think we are. Our species, Homo-sapien-sapien, isn’t that long “out of the trees” and the veneer of civilization is very thin, to non-existent, upon us all. We’re all carrying the genes that got us here and some of those genes carry a very basic survival instinct that has allowed us to survive thus far.

This most basic of all survival instincts is self preservation and it’s the one that warns us to be very wary of those who are different than us, our family, and our tribe. Those who possessed this survival instinct survived and reproduced, and those who had no fear/distrust of strangers didn’t survive. Over the years, this survival instinct has been referred to as tribalism, nationalism, ethnocentrism, racism, and various other isms, but it’s an inborn instinct carried in our genes whether we like it or not.

If racial unrest follows Zimmerman jury decision, blame it on Activist Obama

This is reference to an editorial run in Canada Free Press. The Canadians got it right.! Too bad half of the so called conservatives talk show hosts I’ve been listening to can’t seem to be willing to connect the dots to what a heavy hand his imperious highness played in this example of socialist justice meted out to serve the policies of the state . Turning this into a show trial replete with wall to wall tv coverage.. Taking some poor guy of mixed race including black doing his job and painting a target on his back to fullfill a socialist agenda.

The truth and purpose behind the Zimmerman persecution .. The regime and the media set the premise for the trial narrative and their presentations ignoring the setting where the incident took place..An area having a “Neighborhood Watch” and the person working security just doing his job. Why was this episode politicized ?...The first was to gin up the base for purposes explained herein ..

If some of those so called conservative talk show hosts had interviewed guests who run such watches and had the courage to fight PC and defend Zimmerman they would have exposed the regime and the media for the frauds they are. The few who are still “milking this” by accepting black callers. While they are commentators and not bonafide “newspersons” nothing was stopping them from offering the facts for discussion.

Allowing callers to mis-state the facts such as as Martin was “stalked” or Martin was “stopped” and “questioned” when there was no legal right to do so.If the aftermath of this insidious revisionist assult were investigated everyone of the perpetrators in this recent rash of racial killings would state they believe this is true. . Instead these hosts fail to cite the simple facts outlined and documented here, allow the callers miss-conceptions go unchallanged, or cite examples of policy or corruption let alone ask them what has Obama done for you? Or even dismiss them as unfortunately being used and deliberately mis-informed..

Particularly a “gated” neighborhood watch.When you enter one of these and start wandering around no matter if you are white, blue, red, green, or black. You can be asked your purpose for being there. You are on private property. And yes those on patrol can and do leave their vehicle and follow on foot if they lose sight of the person they’re observing..That’s the Watch Captain’s who is really a security guard’s job.http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3054721/posts

The person of mixed race including black working security was attacked on private rights of way while on foot who discontinued an observation and was returing to his vehicle after being suggested by the police to do so.

Legally he could have approached Saint Trayvon but didn’t..The hooded tall figure was allowed to continue on his way.unimpeded. But didn’t. That figure turned out to be a Martin Trayvon who doubled back and attacked the “neighborhood watch” worker as he was returing to his vehicle. Knocked him to the ground and began beating him severly. Saint Trayvon, the attacker, was subsequently killed in a struggle over the Neighborhood Watchman’s legal pistol.

Both were dark skined and could “pass” as cousins.

The facts of this case are still being shamefully being concealed by the media to the extent they are advancing and are complicit in permitting a putrid injstice of the worst order,organized and instituted by our governent, to be committed .

While denied. It began as a miscalculation when a surname of a Jewish origin shot up and lighted the heavens like a star shell in the darkest of nights. It would have been difused if the media used pictures of both side by side because they look like cousins. And the area where this occured of paycheck to paycheck struggling homeowners of all races trying to protect themselves had been reported and not some ritzy all white enclave.they portrayed..

Worse yet the media is still pilling it on with ABC editing a a black jury members (remember when they were all white)t remarks to make it sound like she accused Zimmerman of murder .

The result as we have seen is that another marxist axiom (division) has been implemented which has resulted with gangs of black youths murdering happless whites and “hispanics” who happen into areas usually where a black population is the majority. Those media outlets who by their delberate misuse of the instrument of the 1st amendment are just as complicit in those deaths as the regime is.

Particularly the black media which had the duty but not the obligation to verify and report factually. But instead quoted the reports from various “mainlining” socialist media sources: Some examples here all of which serve the first purpose of selecting Zimmerman as the target. What is the result ?

Black youths believing they would get top level peer approval began attacking happless white and hispanics which may have wandered into their area which resulted in murders or serious injury and some cases stalked their white victims.

In reality these victims are martyrs to the cause of American socialism.,and the political opposition says nothing..

What could the purpose be ?

What better way to cover up Bengahzi, Fast and furious, IRS, Wind and Solar panel gate, NSA spying on US, Over-riding the constittution? Don’t look into who accompaines Obama on his many trips around the world at taxpayer expence ? Were they the heavy hitters or their friends holding the president’s hand isn’t that pay back at US taxpayer expence?. Isn’t that an impeachable offense ??

Now if somebody even suggests impeachment. Get to your black base voters, whom you’ve done nothing for,.all worked up. Pick on some security guard who’s doing his job. Accuse him of being racist ,even though he is part black..

But his last name sounds “jewish.”Who’s doing surveilance in an mixed race area of modest means a where there’s been robberies and burgalries by young blacks. Now call that surveilance stalking, the area he’s patrolling owned by rich whities,and the guard of course he’s white.

That person he’s watching a 10 year old black kid and a saint ,not six foot two 160 pound 16 year old, who gets killed fighting over a gun. . Now paint a target on the security guards back .Ain’t that neat ? What better way to discourage any investigation into malfeasance and corruption by organizing the base for riots in the streets ? Think it’s too far fetched ? Think it’s not working ? Look again http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3051558/posts

You are encouraged to Print this up or email and -pass it on....Why ? Time to expose citizens to the face the facts that they may believe whatever activity they get involved in is perfectly legitimate and legal. If it suits their purposes this regime and its adhearants will paint a target on their back. Wether it’s a black hispanic who gets turned into a “white hispanic” or union members losing their health care benefits if Obamacare gets funded.

To date the political opposition known as Republicans has yet to mention or comment on this example of how this regime operates. Time to ask them why ?
