New York City police authorities are investigating a series of unprovoked physical attacks in public places on people who are Jewish, in the form of what is called "the knockout game."
The way the game is played, one of a number of young blacks decides to show that he can knock down some stranger on the streets, preferably with one punch, as they pass by. Often some other member of the group records the event, so that a video of that "achievement" is put on the Internet, to be celebrated.
The New York authorities describe a recent series of such attacks and, because Jews have been singled out in these attacks, are considering prosecuting these assaults as "hate crimes."
Many aspects of these crimes are extremely painful to think about, including the fact that responsible authorities in New York seem to have been caught by surprise, even though this "knockout game" has been played for years by young black gangs in other cities and other states, against people besides Jews — the victims being either whites in general or people of Asian ancestry.
Attacks of this sort have been rampant in St. Louis. But they have also occurred in Massachusetts, Wisconsin and elsewhere. In Illinois the game has often been called "Polar Bear Hunting" by the young thugs, presumably because the targets are white.
The main reason for many people's surprise is that the mainstream media have usually suppressed news about the "knockout game" or about other and larger forms of similar orchestrated racial violence in dozens of cities in every region of the country...

For real. The BBC interview is brand new.
Thanks for the link.
Oh, I must have missed that one. Thanks for straightening me out.
Why is Sowell the only black man to speak out on this? Do so-called black leaders approve of these assaults?
That’s an excellent question.
Where’s the Congressional Black Caucus who have members bringing up racism often?
Where’s the race hustlers Jackson and Sharpton who never miss a lick with white on black racism to make a few bucks?
Seems leftists and black leaders are not interested in shining light on this but I repeat myself.
This is of a piece with anti-gun hysteria which is a thinly veiled attempt to disarm the targets of this form of violence.
I think a lot of the black on white assaults have mushroomed because violent, black youths feel they have an ally in the White House who is loath to do anything to them. And I think they’re probably correct.
he, he, ....I wonder if Oprah ever sat down and contemplated that there is no other country on earth where she could have accumulated a billion bucks. With all her comments about "racism" everywhere, I sadly have to conclude she has no clue.
The problem has been the lib media who for the past fifty years has either ignored black crime or blamed it on you know who. And it’s only recently that conservative media outlets, like FOX News, has mentioned it. Most media sources refuse to put the blame where it lies...on the perpetrators. Even conservatives tend to blame Dem pols for the problems, when the problem is violent, black youths who commit crimes because they’re violent, black youths.
Knocking out an unsuspecting person is easy to do, because their neck muscles are relaxed, allowing the brain to be more violently jolted within the skull. It’s a very cowardly and weak thing to do, though. Someday, the creeps are going to hit the wrong old man, who will fracture each of their skulls with one punch.
Absolutely a most cowardly thing to do. Like you say, one day a group will pick on someone who can handle themselves physically or is armed, am looking forward to that day.
Thank you again, Sir.
Charles Bronson anyone? How about undercover operations. Dress agents as older, feeble whites and walk through tribal neighborhoods. The tribals attack and get a can of whoop ash treatment in return by teams in hiding. Fight fire with fire.
One per customer don’tchaknow. George only used one for st skittles.
I disagree with Dr. Sowell.
This is not a game and these
perpetrators aren’t “thugs”;
they are 100% criminals.
She’s apparently taking the position that racism is a learned behavior, and it won’t go away until all the “teachers” are gone.
I wonder what her explanation is for where the first racist came from.
Rudyard Kipling had a response to that a century ago:
In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all,
By robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul;
But, though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "If you don't work you die."
Greta talked about this tonight.
