The media’s different treatment of anti-black and anti-white violence

A reader writes:

The entire front page of today’s Daily News as well as a full page written by the News’s Police Bureau Chief is devoted to a story about an anonymous person who is sending racially charged letters to famous blacks who are married to or date white women threatening them with murder and castration. The FBI is even on the case. But in a smaller article yesterday on the front page of the Staten Island Advance, a white girl in junior high school was beaten by four fellow students (black girls) on Staten Island last Wednesday. She may lose the sight in her left eye. Her ordeal was marked by anti-white comments while a bottle was smashed in her face. Yet the media are virtually mum, even the front page headlines were rather tame in yesterday’s follow-up story describing continued harassment by friends of the attackers. The mother has to remove this white girl from the school, one I know quite well because it is in my old neighborhood. It was never before violent as it is now. Why? Not because it is far from the ghetto, it is not. It is more violent now because certain students are more prone to violence than ever before, blacks especially.

So what amounts to harassment and threats via the mail, as serious as it is, requires the feds and a special investigation and a full page headline in the News, while a clear anti-white racial assault with serious bodily harm is almost ignored and downplayed.

Meanwhile, also in today’s Daily News, a story about a black motorist who intentionally pursued then ran down a Polish immigrant on a motorcycle with his car dragging him hundreds of feet in the mangled wreckage of his bike. All that the motorcyclist had done was to pass the black motorist, which enraged him so much he chased and killed him. No charges of racism against him here. Additionally, various shootings, by blacks, hit and runs on Staten Island (the occupants bailed in front of the housing project down the street from where that white girl was assaulted, and photos “celebrating” the “gangsta rappers.” There is even a story on a ghetto thug slain some time ago called “Biggie Smalls.”

So blacks, despite being featured on any given day in the New York newspapers as perpetrators of violent, often racist attacks, are celebrated and defended for their behavior, which is blamed on whites, while a white girl, in this case in danger of losing an eye, is basically ignored as the police seek only assault charges rather than hate charges against her attackers who continue to threaten her without fear. But write a letter threatening a black and the FBI is hunting you down.

Meanwhile, also in today’s Daily News, a photo of Chinese schoolchildren, all lined up in perfect rows and all wearing red shirts in “a display of patriotism” and discipline. How can we compete with them when we are only concerned with race and racial offences and lowering standards to meet the needs of minorities?

Oh, and that little thing about all the black violence and mayhem in New Orleans, the one in which blacks were essentially absolved from any responsibility, even by Bush who blamed “discrimination” as a contributing factor, well, check out this rap song, “George Bush don’t like black people.” In it all the problems with black culture is evident: victimology, no responsibility, belligerence and no moral leadership. Here are the lyrics:

George Bush Doesn’t Care About Black People
I ain’t saying he’s a goldigger, but he ain’t messing with no broke niggas
I ain’t saying he a goldigger, but he ain’t messing with no broke niggas
George Bush don’t like black people
George Bush don’t like black people
George Bush don’t like black people
George Bush don’t like black people
Hurricane came through, fucked us up round here
Government acting like it’s bad luck down here
All I know is that you better bring some trucks round here
Wonder why I got my middle finger up round here
People lives on the line you declining to help
Since you taking so much time we surviving ourself
Just me and my pets, and my kids, and my spouse, trapped
In my own house looking for a way out (pause)
Five days in this motherfucking attic
Can’t use the cellphone I keep getting static
Dying ‘cause they lying instead of telling us the truth
Other day the helicopters got my neighbors off the roof (off the roof)
Screwed ‘cause they say they coming back for us too
That was three days ago, I don’t see no rescue
See a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do
Since God made the path that I’m trying to walk through
Swam to the store, tryin’ to look for food
Corner store’s kinda flooded so I broke my way through
I got what I could but before I got through
News say the police shot a black man trying to loot
(Who!?) Don’t like black people
George Bush don’t like black people
George Bush don’t like black people
George Bush don’t like ‘em
I ain’t saying he a goldigger, but he ain’t fucking with no broke niggas
I ain’t saying he a goldigger, but he ain’t checking for no broke niggas
George Bush don’t like black people
George Bush don’t like black people
George Bush don’t like black people
George Bush don’t like black people
Five damn days, five long days
And at the end of the fifth he walking in like “Hey!”
Chilling on his vacation sitting patiently
Them black folks gotta hope, gotta wait and see
If FEMA really comes through in an emergency
But nobody seem to have a sense of urgency
Now the mayor’s been reduced to crying
I guess Bush said, “Nigga’s been used to dying!”
He said, “I know it looks bad, just have to wait”
Forgetting folks who too broke to evacuate
Niggas starving and they dying of thirst
I bet he had to go and check on them refineries first
Making a killing off the price of gas
He would have been up in Conneticut twice as fast
After all that we’ve been through nothing’s changed
You can call Red Cross but the fact remains that…
George Bush ain’t a goldigger, but he ain’t fucking with no broke niggas
George Bush ain’t a goldigger, but he ain’t fucking with no broke niggas
Come down Bush, c’mon come down
Come down Bush, c’mon come down
Come down Bush, c’mon come down
Come down Bush, c’mon come down
George Bush ain’t a goldigger (Hmmn)
George Bush don’t like black people
George Bush don’t like black people
George Bush don’t like black people
Come down George, c’mon come down
Come down George, c’mon come down
Come down George, c’mon come down
Come down George, c’mon come down
(Fade out)

Back to the threatening letters story, a reader writes:

Tell me if I’m wrong but in reading through the lines, it appears that the person in question making the threats is, in fact, black. He (she) calls Jeter, Clarence Thomas, etc, “race traitors” for dating white women. What’s most interesting is that the media is letting everyone assume that it’s a white-on-black threat and not the other way around. On CBS radio, they linked the threat to Jeter with Ed Bradley’s execrable interview on “60 minutes” last night in which he tried to show that Jeter was a victim of racism. This about an athlete who I think, in this rare instance, actually transcends a racial identity.
