BLACK RACISM: THE HATE CRIME THAT DARE NOT SPEAK ITS NAME

Front Page Magazine ^ | July 16, 2002 | David Horowitz

We reported the story of the Wichita Massacre in these pages two years ago at the time it happened. Outside the local Wichita press, however, virtually the only media to report this hate crime were Frontpagemagazine.com and the American Renaissance newsletter. While the federal government rushes to Los Angeles to investigate an incident in which a handcuffed youth was slammed into the hood of a car and punched by an officer, a pall of silence still blankets the horrendous racial murder of four young people whose murderers are now on trial. The difference in the responses to these two stories can hardly be attributed to anything other than the skin color of the perpetrators and the victims involved. Apparently the sexual torture and brutal executions of four promising youngsters is of no interest to the nation's moral guardians, because the victims happen to be white.

Stephen Webster's account of these events provides a revealing window on the disturbing - not to say disgusting -- state of the civil rights delusion in America. The U.S. Justice Department has reported that 85% of all inter-racial violence in America is committed by blacks against whites. But there are apparently no black hate crimes; and there is certainly no white civil rights movement to create sympathy for the victims.

Nor can there be one in the present atmosphere of racial hypocrisy, where the mere expression of concern over attacks on white people would itself make an individual a ripe target for racial witch-hunters.

Because they are black, the Wichita killers have been protected from national scrutiny and have not even been charged with a hate crime. The entire apparatus of local government in Wichita - abetted by the national press -- has worked overtime to keep the public ignorant of what happened. If the truth came out, it would threaten a national melodrama in which only blacks are victims, only blacks are persecuted and only whites are racists. Within the framework of this melodrama, the only acceptable meaning of civil rights is retribution for blacks -- retribution for any and every crime, real or imagined, ever suffered by black people however remote in the past. "Reparations" is just the nom de jour of the new civil rights package.

What would happen if, instead, we returned to the idea of individual accountability, and gave up the totalitarian fantasies of reparations and "social justice," in which oppressed classes exact retribution from their age-old oppressors? What if we returned to the real world in which individuals commit indefensible misdemeanors (Los Angeles) and monstrous crimes (Wichita)? What if we revived the idea of making the punishment fit the actual deed? Think of all the people who wouldn't know what to do with themselves if that were to happen.

The fact is that the Wichita horror is but one of many spectacular lynchings of white people by black racists, which the nation's moral watchdogs choose to ignore.

Everybody in America, for example, knows who James Byrd is, and that he was brutally murdered by three whites in Jasper Texas four years ago. Byrd's lynchers offered him a lift in their pickup truck, beat him and chained him and dragged him to his death. An entire nation was outraged and guilty. The President issued a statement, legislators wrung their hands and the media keened over the inhumanity of the act and what it portended for the country's future.

Four years later - this year in fact - a white man named Ken Tillery, hitched a ride in Jasper, Texas. He was given a lift by four black men who then murdered him to a deafening national silence. Like Byrd, Tillery was held hostage and beaten. Then he was run over and crushed to death. The copycat nature of the crime made it a natural news story. But there was none, save a modest account in the Houston Chronicle, to which nobody paid any attention. This savagery was apparently nothing. The pigments were politically incorrect. It was only some white guy, whose ancestors probably owned slaves.

We make no apologies for expressing outrage over these facts or printing the story of the Wichita slayings. We would like to see the trial of these killers reported on Peter Jennings' World News Tonight. We would like to see the story of the murders retold on 60 Minutes or 48 Hours. We would like to see Spike Lee direct a Hollywood feature or Jesse Jackson conduct a pilgrimage to Kansas to plea for racial peace.

But we know these things won't happen. To begin with, Jesse Jackson and Spike Lee don't have the moral intelligence to take these steps. Nor does Peter Jennings. We're regret that this is the case. But we are certain there will not be any bright future for race relations in this country until silences like these are broken.

No I'm using basic statistics. The conclusion is correct in that blacks are not targeting whites. They are commiting crime 4 times as often as they should be, but they are not targeting whites.

[staytrue]

Let's look at the white collar crooks. Gary Winnick (global crossing), Sullivan and Ebbers ( worldcom), bill clinton, martha stewart, ken lay and jeff skilling (enron), ivan boesky, richard nixon, michael milkin, the whole arthur anderson gang, "chainsaw al" (sunbeam). Why are all these guys white men ? Except for Jesse Jackson, they are all white men. Think about it.

[aristeides]

There's a big fallacy in your reasoning. Since blacks largely live in heavily black neighborhoods and have much more contact with blacks than whites and others, their victims will be black far more than 14% of the time if they choose victims randomly.

While attending Air Force's Squadron Officers school we received some unarmed combatants techniques. The rule was simple, if someone points a gun at you do what they say and don't provoke them. If, however, you believe that they will kill you you should take action. First, step inside the guns arch by deflecting the hand and moving within hugging range. Next grab the gun hand with both your hands and wrest control of the gun away from the perp. This is accomplished by twisting the gun outward and away from your body. In all likelihood the trigger guard will rip the assailant's finger off but heck "That's Okay"! Once you control the gun, you must shot the perp DEAD! Use as many rounds as necessary. No arrests. No hands up! Just shoot until the cylinder or clip is empty!

good point, but on the other hand, if you plan on robbing someone, I think I would rob a white instead of a blacks because to paraphrase the bankrobber willie sutton, "that's where the money is"

plus even you will admit, most crimes committed by blacks are against other blacks. To dredge this one or two year old story up just to do some race baiting and black bashing is ridiculous.

"This does not mean that the black is targeting whites."

Statistically-speaking, on a per-capita basis, there is significantly more Black-on-White crime than White-on-Black crime...call it "targeting" or not, them's the facts.

It's not about race baiting, it's about the one-sided manner in which the national media and politico's treat stories like these.

A black kid gets punched by a white cop , near hysterical reaction. 7 whites targeted for murder by black ex-cons,nothing.

[staytrue]

On a per capita basis there is far more black on black crime than black on white crime. That is a fact. It does not mean that blacks are targeting themselves. Blacks are commiting a lot of crime on a per capita basis and it looks like it is very random and not targeting white, black or otherwise. This wichita incident is over a year old. The fact that the author did not find anything more recent means this stuff if very unlikely. You have more to fear from gary condit, bill clinton, ted bundy, the green river prostitute killer, or the guy who did in Ms. Smart than roving bands of blacks looking rape a white girl.

when the white fbi agent shot the white guy in the face in maryland, the reaction locally was just as great.

[staytrue]

I think blacks are overly sensitive about racism. Sadly, I'm beginning to think the same is true of freepers.

[Benrand]

THose guys are white men because their skin is white? So to even it up, you'd like to see Stan Neal and Bob Johnson indicted...well thought out.

I would assume you know who those two black men are...

[staytrue]

High profile, white collar criminals are mostly white. I have no idea the two black guys you are talking about. I am a little tired of freepers taking a single incident and trying to drag the entire black/hispanic/asian/fill in the blank as long as it's not a white guy, population through the mud. We can talk hitler, we can talk bin laden, idi amin, ghengis khan, or some other thug of any skin color you like. I feel it serves no purpose.

[headsonpikes]

There is a natural reaction by ordinary folks to the pc-spinning of the 'good-thinkers'.

This is the inevitable fruit of lies and dishonesty on the part of the Establishment.

Your statistical analysis was to the point, AFAIC. ;^)

No argument here...LOL!!!

People around here were infuriated with this story. These two brothers SHOULD HAVE been in prison. I had never heard the details of the killings. I knew that the women had been raped and the had been shot executions style but had never heard the details of the sexual torture. Sick, sick, sick and I have no doubts that is was racially motivated.

The death penalty is two easy for these two. They deserve a slow, tortureous death and may they rot in hell!

The media DISGUSTS me!!

[conservatism_IS_compassion]

blacks are not targeting whites. They are commiting crime 4 times as often as they should be

as whites, who in turn are commiting crime how many times as often as Asians?

My statistics professor told the tale of a county agent filling out one of the myriad government forms, this one asking the percent of sheep that had died in his county of disease in the past year. He put down 50%.

CDC sent in a massive team to his office, all dressed in protective suits.

He did not remove his feet from his desk as he informed them there had been only two sheep in his county and one had died of some mysterious disease.

[staytrue]

my favorite statistic is that 100% of all serial rapists had moms (or dads) so the solution is to kill all the moms. End of problem right. 100% of all robbers drank milk as a kid. solution is to ban milk.
