Seven young males from a Minneapolis basketball Amateur Athletic Union program were arrested and charged with misdemeanors in Wichita, Kan., after assaulting at least three homeless people in downtown Wichita over the weekend, police said. The young males, ages 12 to 18, were in Wichita to play in the Mid America Youth Basketball championships. They were staying in a downtown hotel and were walking the streets when the assaults occurred on Sunday night. The young males play for Urban Stars Athletics, an arm of Urban Ventures, a nonprofit organization that assists inner-city families in poverty. The assaults started with “people throwing rocks, bricks and chunks of cement,” said Wichita Police Department Public Information Officer James Espinoza. “A 32-year-old individual suffered injuries to his abdomen and his left arm and left leg. Another 48-year-old individual tried to leave the scene but suffered injuries to his head and cuts and scrapes above his left eye. A third individual on a bike tried to flee but was assaulted with rocks and knocked off his bike.”

Urban Stars Athletics, euphemism for black gang bangers from Minneapolis?

Urban Ventures, euphemism for Minneapolis Black Gang Banger shelter & cover story?

You betcha!

Them Minnisootans do have to work off their energy - after their midnight basketball games.

Reading the story in the Wichita paper, I find the "staff of that non-profit was thinking they would 'look in to the allegations' to see if there is anything for them to do," I was wondering why that staff didn't accompany the yutes to Wichita, as obviously these yutes are accustomed to rock, brick and concrete throwing in their own neighborhood!

Not a single mention of the race of the perpetrators or the victims. That means to me it is 100% black perpetrators and 100% non-black victims.

There is indeed an epidemic of racial violence today, and it is not white policemen abusing black men.

It is blacks of both sexes committing violence against non-blacks. We can say this without racial rancor, without painting the entire black community with a brush, but we cannot in truth avoid saying it. Read:

People in this country may ask: "Is there an epidemic of racial violence in this country?"

The answer to this question may be found in Bill Whittle's excellent video: VIDEO: Bill Whittle: Ferguson and the Real Race War

In summary, here are the raw statistics for general violent crime Black-on-White and White-on-Black crime from the National Crime Victimization Survey (the branch of the DOJ responsible for collecting these statistics) here are the raw results for 2010:

Here is the RAW disparity between Black-on-White and White-on-Black general violent crime:

But this raw data is misleading, due to disparity in the sizes of the population. Here are the numbers that show the population totals for black and white populations in 2010:

If you normalize the statistics to take into account the relative sizes of the populations, Here are the numbers that reflect the real magnitude of Black-on-White versus White-on-Black VIOLENT ASSAULT crime:

Furthermore, if you narrow the statistics shown above on violent assault (GENERAL VIOLENT ASSAULT) to a specific type of violent assault (IN THE CASE BELOW, VIOLENT AGGRAVATED ASSAULT) , the statistics that Black-on-White versus White-on-Black VIOLENT ASSAULT crime take on an entirely different magnitude:

When one looks at these statistics, one can only reach the same conclusion that Bill Whittle did in his video:
"Oh, there's an epidemic of racial violence in America, all right."

Bill Whittle further accurately states:
"Critics will say that I am using these statistics to justify the murder of Michael Brown. But I said at the beginning – if Michael Brown were shot in cold blood then the police officer needs to pay the price for murder. This has nothing to do with Michael Brown. This has EVERYTHING to do with the narrative that the President, the Attorney General, and all of these race hustlers are trying to create using Michael Brown.

There is, in fact, a racial war of violence and hatred in America. Open racism is simply not tolerated in white America today, but black racism is the toxic glue that holds the progressive coalition together. Tolerance of – in fact, as we see from the events in Ferguson, open encouragement of black rage at a narrative that not only does not exist but reverses the daily outrages that do exist, is what defines modern progressivism. It is the politics of envy, anger, entitlement, lawlessness, violence and bald-faced lies.

And of all the promises broken by this man, surely none is more heartbreaking than the one promise that got him elected in the first place: the promise of a post-racial future. He and his racist progressive cohorts can never surrender the weapon that has gotten them everything, not the least of which is personal political power and trillions of dollars of redistributed wealth. And this latest outrage in Furguson is yet another example – as if another was needed among the economic wreckage, creeping totalitarianism, and foreign-policy disasters -- that he and his leftist cohorts would rather rule over ruins than disappear into the dustbin of a healthy and healed nation."

Yes! You are so right, and US taxpayers are footing the bill for all the commies, anarchists, thugs, community organizers, and every other kind of group that hates the country and wants to destroy it.
