You don't find it funny that when people run this headline that there aren't any numbers to back it up? When someone is assaulted, it is labeled as an assault, they don't file it under "knock out game" incase someone needs to look it up later. I've searched through every article concerning this and not one gives any information as to it being a new trend or being nationwide, not even the original source.

Are they getting these conclusions from tea leaves or something? <br /><br />Yglesias,unless you pass for African,there's no sense in covering up these crimes. Zimmerman was hispanic too,and Trayvon still tried to pull the knockout game on him. And no,it doesn't matter if there are rules and points,because apparently,"microaggressions" are serious enough to spill ink on, and randomly assaulting white people is an order of magnitude more serious. Not because I'm white,but because only a moron would think a road rage-type incident has done more damage to the victim than a suckerpunch to the skull that causes cerebral hemorrhaging.

It was in a comment or piece reviling Mr. Sailer as the arch racist of the cosmos, the love child of Hitler, Cthulhu, and Bull Connor. <br /><br />Being one to always enjoy in a Menckensian spirit the fulminations of idiots, as well as a good challenge to my opinions and paradigms, I went to the site. Full, of course, of elitist certainty about what I'd find. <br /><br />How shocking to my former liberal/progressive self to find that Steve made more sense than the increasingly demented mental gymnastics/St. Vitus's Dance around race I was reading in my usual sources and immersed in in every part of my professional, personal, and community life. <br /><br />Something happened to liberalism in my lifetime, and it took me a few years to figure it out, with no small shock:<br /><br />What happened was that anti-white racism became the new religio-political orthodoxy of the left.

He's dim about real life, never having experienced it, he can't spell, he was elevated to the liberal punditocracy while still a child, he is Slate's business and economics correspondent despite having no training in either (his Harvard BA was in philosophy), and he went to the Dalton School, the super-elite Ivy-League prep school that also counts Eric Schlosser and Anderson Cooper among its alumni.<br /><br />Surely someone with tons of credibility to speak for the Man On The Street, eh? <br /><br />But I'll remember his "suck it up" Rx the next time I hear some black woman with six kids by five guys complaining that her welfare doesn't pay for everything she can think of wanting. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-73145838940663813382013-11-26T19:23:22.308-08:002013-11-26T19:23:22.308-08:00Take a gander at slate.com.

Liberals approve of black on white violence, they get off on it, particularly when it hits middle and lower class whites. They're willing to accept a little collateral damage among themselves. Jim Goad hits the nail on the head when he says <i> Throughout history, those who rule the streets have often served as the shock troops and enforcers for those who rule the nation. This isn’t some empty nihilistic ritual—it’s a highly political act of establishing dominance and marking one’s territory. </i> These black thugs are liberalism's stormtroopers so of course they approve of the violence.

In that sense the "Knockout Game" isn't strictly racist. The target is anyone soft and terrorizable - and in the minds of black kids most white people qualify.
