Have you heard of a fad called the "Knock-Out Game"?

There is an old saying "One picture is worth a thousand words" which is very applicable concerning this topic. Since morality is a hot topic in this forum responses after viewing this video will be interesting for those honest enough to reply:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1e0GVeS9pg

Colin Flaherty is a white nationalist columnist for World Net Daily. I wouldn't take anything he has to say on the matter too seriously.

Nyarlathotep: Do you think the videos of the same type incidents in this video are not true? I am concerned with the truth, not the messenger. I am not a "listen and believe" guy, evidence is important to me. If you have video evidence to the contrary I would love to see it.

Are you asking if I think a collection of highly edited videos from a white nationalist on racial topics is highly misleading? Yeah, I'd bet everything I own against $5 on it; because that would just be a free five dollars.
Flaherty is a disciple of the race war. He's been openly fanning the flames for years at WND.

Colin is not a white nationalist, he has defended all races against violence. He even got an innocent black convict out of prison.

ImFree - The people in the videos are not being attacked?

Flaherty is notorious for taking violence incidents then mis-attributing them to black mobs fighting in a race war against white people. This isn't the first time he's done it, it isn't even the 100th.

ImFree - Back up your claim with evidence and I will believe you.

I don't know if you will consider this:

The New Yorker - In 2013, Fox News repeatedly broadcast warnings about the “knockout game,” based on a self-published book by the white nationalist Colin Flaherty, which described black men randomly attacking white pedestrians. In a study published in the journal Race & Class, Mike King, a sociologist at suny-Oneonta, searched for a single actual case of the knockout game and found none. The news reports were largely patched together from unrelated viral videos of street violence. Bureau of Justice statistics show, King wrote, a “marked decrease in random assaults, including black assaults on white strangers.”

"I don't know if you;ll consider this"

Your right, the video evidence I have seen are contrary to what your reference claims.

Once again, Colin is not a white nationalist, he has defended many racial and ethic groups against violence. Bad source.

Without the evidence you never supplied you might end up homeless. More than willing to change my mind if you can provide aggregate evidence to the contrary.

That fact that you think Flaherty has done anything remotely similar to what you describe, makes me think you are beyond hope; that you have fallen for this moral panic. Good luck with that.

The fact that you cannot provide evidence to the contrary makes me think you are not concerned with the truth. People who "listen and believe" are beyond hope. I am open to change my opinion if you can provide evidence to the contrary. Your acting like a theist.

Your quitting because like a theist you cannot provide evidence to back your claim. You lost the argument. Good luck to you as well. I am more than willing to change my opinion if you have aggregate evidence to the contrary. Have a great day : )

Why are you obsessed with this white supremacist? Are you a white supremacist? I'm beginning to think so.
I'm sure there are black racists but the number is very small. More likely there are just juvenile gangs. Flaherty is a well known white racist that likes to gin up racism. He seeks out crimes committed by blacks and only thinks that those crimes were committed because the criminals were black. There is a whole host of other reasons, the least being anything racially motivated. Some of the gangs he targets actually have white kids in them, but he only points out the kids of color.
In the 80's, in southern California, there were white males that went to bars just to start fights, it was supposedly a game. I don't recall people calling it white hate. It was clear mischief and nothing more.
So please don't post anything more by this idiot. He isn't credible.

I assure you there are allot

I assure you there are allot of black racists you just don't hear of them because black people can't be racist. In other words (media).

Thanks for your reply

Thanks for your reply JacobCorneluis. Regardless of what race is committing a crime, the media should be responsible and report the description of the perpetrators so the public can take protective measures. In the United States that is not always what the media does because of political correctness.

By the way, I admire how you have had an objective journey from your religious past. I took a similar journey many years ago.

Bullshit! I deal with black racist all the time. It is just like YOU to blame the media because you don't understand the media's job. The media reports facts supported by evidence unless it's FOX, Clear Channel, or News Corps.
"black people can't be racist" stupid statement and simply not true!

Jacob's picture
I think you misunderstood.

I think you misunderstood. Here in South Africa the media very seldom mention black racism because well history. There was a famous controversy with a woman who stated " some black people are like monkeys" In the end she had to pay a huge fee and lost her job. Then a couple of months later Julius Malema the leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters encouraged white genocide and nothing happened to him.

LOL...let the race baiting begin!

Just brought up a topic for discussion and not sorry the DOJ facts and available video evidence is not to your liking. I just want to know what is true and I do not identify with political tribes on the right or left. Be my guest and have the last word. You have my permission. Have a wonderful day : )

@ImFree
It's not a "topic for discussion." You posted a white racist youtube video and want everyone to join you in a rah-rah pep rally to support a race war. You are nothing more than a troll. You PMed me about this earlier and I told you to take it to the forum. I don't agree with your racism. I abhor people like you.

ImFree's picture
I despise people like you

I despise people like you that love to accuse others of racism for merely attempting to discuss a topic objectively and supported by evidence. When you cannot support your argument you attempt to shut down the conversation by false accusations and name calling. Fuck you!

For the record, thanks to the

For the record, thanks to the efforts of Colin Flaherty a black man falsely convicted was released when the judge threw out a guilty verdict after the man already served 1 ½ years in state prison.

"San Diego writer Colin Flaherty also helped Wiley's cause, rooting out several new witnesses, including a neighbor who said she saw DiGiovanni let a chubby blond man into her house the morning she was assaulted. Wiley is black."

More evidence that mycob4 runs his mouth before he knows what he is talking about. Colin Flaherty is not a white nationalist. White nationalists do not go out of their way to exonerate black convicts serving prison terms.

Mykcob4: “ want everyone to join you in a rah-rah pep rally to support a race war”

Bullshit, I don't care if the people assaulting people are purple or green. If a significant number of the populace is sneaking up on men, women and knocking them out with some resulting in fatalities the public should be aware of the danger. This is not a topic that should be swept under the rug by the main stream media resulting in people being exposed to risks they could avoid if the danger was known.

I didn't shoot off my mouth.
For the record, you aren't attempting to discuss a topic objectively. What you are trying to do (unsuccessfully) is to gin up support for your racial idealism based on highly edited YouTube videos.
No one is fucking buying it. No one will buy your assertion that I am just shooting my mouth off. That isn't how I operate.
Like I said you are a troll AND a racist.

Just like a punk. Once I provide the evidence that you demanded from everyone you fold like a lawn chair.
You see punks like you are all the same. You can't handle anyone that stands up to you.
YOU'RE the one that started this troll thread.
YOU'RE the one that posted highly edited videos from a FAMOUS racist.
YOU'RE the one unsuccessfully defending a racist propaganda lie.
So YOU'RE the one trolling.
Go join your Trump buddies and redneck it out somewhere else punk!
