remember when I was growing up, New York was a rough-and-tumble place where attitudes of racial animosity ran parallel to the perceptions of black-on-white crime. And despite a robust, national civil rights movement, there were feelings that blacks were almost exclusively responsible for gangs, prostitution and heroin addiction.
Back in the 60s and 70s, believe it or not, as a young black man I too had concerns about crime being perpetrated upon me. I recall how to cross Central Park, my buddies and I would sprint top speed from Central Park West to the Fifth Avenue on the East Side without stopping. We knew that would not only get us across unmolested, but the sight of a two or three black men running through the park would make anybody steer clear.
During that time it was not a question of race, but that anybody entering the park alone at night stood a good chance of getting his or her ass kicked.
But come one fateful day in 1989 when a white woman was raped and four black men and one Hispanic man was accused of wilding, we no longer sprinted for fear we would get shot by police or arrested on general principal. Innocent as we were, as young black men we were painfully aware of trying not to look guilty of anything. That was the difference between getting arrested or getting shot.
Lets fast forward to 1997 to Abner Louima, who was sodomized with a toilet plunger handle in a police precinct or Amadou Diallo who in 1999 died in a hail of 41 shots fired by members of the now defunct Street Crimes Unit. Or Sean Bell, shot dead in a hail of police bullets on his wedding day.....

When I see videos of 80 year old Jewish women playing the knockout game I’ll consider his rant. Until then when I see A group of black feral youth headed my way I’ll consider my options and theirs.
Choose wisely Grasshoppers!
Damn right it does and for good reason.
The knockout game is, usually, a milder version of what Trayvon did, so nothing that white people should get upset over.
There is a correlation between rates of violent crime and the presence of a constant father figure in the lives of male children. Over 70% of black male children grow up without such a constant father figure in their lives.
When young black males have such a high rate of conviction for murdering members of their own race, it is simply being willfully ignorant to deny that young black males are more likely to commit violent crimes than members of other races.
No wonder more women are getting their concealed carry permit, that is where government graciously allows people to enjoy some of their unalienable rights.
Must be the new talking points from OFA:
With “Knockout Game” Back in Fashion, Rightbloggers Revive the Old Ooga Booga

“The author thinks Trayvon was entitled to do what he did. “
As usual black people focus on the fact that “trayvon had a right to be where he was” but ignore the fact that he was bashing someone’s head in. Such idiocy is a valid enough reason to profile.
Not likely to happen in NYC where the CPUSA rules and the SUBJECTS have been disarmed.
In the REAL USA, CITIZENS will take steps to protect themselves.
The cretin who wrote this piece should be casting the blame for this unfortunate situation where it belongs.
Domestic communists and race hustlers who foment racial division to further their cause.
OFA is an American communist front.
Its time to make that fact clear.
Right wing politicians have to out the CPUSA controlled democrat party for what it has become.
Fully infiltrated and controlled by the CPUSA, who intend to destroy the capitalist system in the USA
What is this guys point.?. Only a fool wouldn’t profile a group of young black males.
What’s WITH these people?
I was at the bank drive through lane a while back, and a black male about 30 or so in the lane next to me gave me a cold stare filled with murderous hatred. He just wouldn’t look away.
I got on my cell phone like I was calling somebody- hoping that would dissuade him from trying anything.
They're violent racists. The real thing. They are precisely what the MSM would never describe them as being.
This country is now so breathtakingly stupid that I feel obligated to point out that neither of us is referring to all blacks.
> “There is a correlation between rates of violent crime and the presence of a constant father figure in the lives of male children.”
There is ***an inverse correlation*** between rates of violent crime and the presence of a constant father figure in the lives of male children.
Yes, it does. Gives white America and everyone else darn good reason to profile blacks they encounter on the street.
They’d be foolish if they didn’t.
Maybe.. just maybe.. when influential blacks stop their incessant whining about perceived racism and start trying to affect these ferals who are engaged in this sh*t, none of this “profiling” would ever be necessary.
My safety is more important than the feelings of black people.
Truth hurts lefties. Grow some balls, admit it’s happening, take responsibility for your own actions, then do something about it thn maybe we’ll consider you men.
Martin did more than bash Zimmerman's head in. He also tried to grab Zimmerman's holstered pistol after noticing it when Zimmerman's jacket fell open in the fight. Zimmerman did not remove his pistol from the holster until after Martin tried to grab it. The fight turned into a battle to the death for that pistol. The bad guy lost.
Which is a helluva long way from "Zimmerman profiled, pursued, and murdered Obama's choir-boy son just because he was black."
As if we needed another reason for profiling blacks! We don’t. So tell all the knockout players to stop. Do something to lower black crime statistics, and I don’t mean pretending that all those black men committing crimes should claim it is white man’s fault. It isn’t.
