Crime pays...
Nowhere in the piece do I see the author mention the fact that in nine out of ten of those deaths, excess or otherwise, the perpetrator was also black.
None of this will ever, ever, ever improve until the vast majority of black people are willing to acknowledge who is killing the black people.
“Most of the local traffic stops in my city have no plates or Missouri plates. I live in Kansas not far from KC MO.
Most of the dangerous drivers that speed past me and weave in and out on the highway, to the extent I can determine, tend to be black.”
“Makes sense. The police have decided to not risk their careers and lives and are allowing Darwinism to deal with it.”
Many counties and cities in our area have ignored the speeding, running of red lights and dangerous/reckless driving. They have laid off or employed their traffic cops elsewhere.
It has gotten so bad, many localities are now re hiring or putting cops back on the streets to enforce basic safe driving.
After, we are stopped by a red light and have a green light to go ahead, we look for red light running drivers to barrow through the intersection braking the speed limit and ignoring a red light, before we going out and across the intersection with the green light.
A wise choice. I do the same!
I’m sure the MSM, including the FauxNews Nightly News show, will be covering this, at the top of their shows.
NOT.

Thomas Sowell praised the book in the National Review, linking it to his own Intellectuals and Society, and suggested that the book and its message were being ignored or silenced.[3] Radio show host Larry Elder wrote that according to Flaherty's book "the knockout game has gone national."[1] Cathy Young in Newsday brought up the book when discussing the knockout game, and mentioned how she felt Flaherty, while in error in a particular case, brings forth a "narrative [that] raises a painful question" about the media's failure to report incidents accurately when perpetrators are black. That failure, she cautions, undermines the media's credibility and actually risks encouraging racist paranoia.[4] There are some ne
Yes, the “knock out game” is/was predominately racially motivated and the perp is/was usually black. That, “racially motivated” is relevant, to the “knock out game”.
However:
1. The subject is black murder victims in the U.S. today,
and
2. Most murders of blacks today are a black murderer and a black victim(s), and not racially motivated.
I don’t think anyone would argue that lynchings of blacks in the Jim Crow era was justified because of the “knock out game” in this era.
So you bring it up because????
This analysis is very enjoyable.
Killing each other is their CULTURE! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO INTERFERE!
in comparison to the number of lynching victims in the past, so valid to the discussion.
2. Most murders of blacks today are a black murderer and a black victim(s), and not racially motivated.
Unquestionably true.
"I don’t think anyone would argue that lynchings of blacks in the Jim Crow era was justified because of the “knock out game” in this era."
And you are correct. Nobody on this thread has. (Holding people in the the past guilty because of someones current crime???)
So you bring it up because????
The context is racially motivated violence. Maybe because I and others are part of the target group of this racially motivated "game " and out of concern for myself and my children. May I not do that in this context?
The leading cause of homicide among blacks is other blacks.
Even black police are 3x as likely to kill a black suspect as a White officer.
“The context is racially motivated violence. “
That is a context you created, whic was not the context, or general gist of the article from AmericAn Thinker.
The author of the article made some comparison between lynchings of blacks in the Jim Crow era versus the rate at which blacks are murder victims today.
I have two sets of thoughts about the author’s use of the lynchings as a comparison.
1. The main apples versus oranges difference is the lynchings were predominately raciallu motivated, while black on black murders today are not.
2. Even the author did not think that (the racial motivation of the lynchings) was germane to the context of their article, as they ignored that difference entirely. I think that was an error, by the author, and properly considered it places the deaths by the lynchings as NOT in the same context of the rates of murders of blacks today - different circumstances and preddominately different motivations - predominately not racially motivated (murder rates of blacks today). For that reason I think the author could have and should have left out the matter of the lynchings and still made many good points in the article about how the murder rates of blacks went up right while many were promoting policies the BLM folks were asking for.
While I agree that assaults by the “knock out game” ARE racially motivated, and ought to be a concern to all, for the acts themselves and their apparent racist motivation, I think that is a subject separate from and not enlightening to the subject in the article from American Thinker; so yes, in my mind, out of context.
A prime example of our discussions yesterday re bad drivers:
