				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_248315" style="width: 314px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/1098205_734437936582467_220314144_n-352x350.jpg"><img class="wp-image-248315" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/1098205_734437936582467_220314144_n-352x350.jpg" alt="1098205_734437936582467_220314144_n-352x350" width="304" height="302" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Navjoat Aulakh</p></div>
<p>On Christmas morning, a man drove up to the Islamic Cultural Center in Fresno, threw rocks through the windows, and then entered the center and destroyed things inside. The local ABC outlet, KFSN, <a href="http://abc30.com/news/fresno-police-calling-islamic-cultural-center-burglary-a-hate-crime/451696/"><span style="color: #0433ff;">reported Friday</span></a> that “Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer says it is clear the incident is a hate crime which is why the FBI is also investigating this case.” But <a href="http://www.fresnobee.com/2014/12/27/4303923_suspect-identified-in-fresno-islamic.html?rh=1"><span style="color: #0433ff;">on Saturday</span></a>, it turned out that the incident was not an “anti-Muslim hate crime” at all: the vandal was <a href="http://www.fresnobee.com/2014/12/27/4303923_suspect-identified-in-fresno-islamic.html?rh=1"><span style="color: #0433ff;">Asif Mohammad Khan, a Muslim</span></a>. The destruction at the Islamic Cultural Center in Fresno was yet another in a long series of fake hate crimes designed to prop up the fiction that Muslims in the U.S. are routinely targets of discrimination and harassment.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0433ff;"><a href="http://www.fresnobee.com/2014/12/27/4303923_suspect-identified-in-fresno-islamic.html?rh=1">According to Khan’s sister Samia,</a></span> the vandal is (like the recent French attackers who screamed “Allahu akbar” while trying to kill infidels) mentally ill. She also said that he was a devout Muslim who prayed five times daily. Dyer revealed that Khan had in recent days written that Osama bin Laden was the most inspirational person in his life. Dyer explained that Khan’s vandalism of the mosque “was not geared towards the Islamic community, it was not geared to the Islamic faith or any of those things and was simply to get back at a few people at the center who had belittled him and in his eyes bullied him.”</p>
<p>Dyer and other law enforcement authorities were extremely unlikely to consider it as they investigated Khan’s crimes, but the Hamas-linked <a href="http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/Read.aspx?GUID=154325C2-EF71-48FD-B33C-B5A584CFB8CF"><span style="color: #0433ff;">Council on American-Islamic Relations</span></a> (CAIR) <a href="http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/023204.php"><span style="color: #0433ff;">and</span></a> <a href="http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/023150.php"><span style="color: #0433ff;">other Muslims</span></a> have on many occasions in the past not hesitated to stoop even to fabricating “hate crimes,” including attacks on mosques. CAIR and other groups like it want and need hate crimes against Muslims, because they can use them for political points and as weapons to intimidate people into remaining silent about the jihad threat.</p>
<p>This has happened many times in 2014. Here are five of the most egregiously manipulative examples:</p>
<p><b>1. The Saleh and Akbar viral video.</b></p>
<p>In October, the Muslim bloggers Adam Saleh and Sheikh Akbar released a video entitled “Racial Profiling Experiment.” It showed the duo in Western clothing, coming to blows in front of an indifferent NYPD cop. In the second part of the video, they pass by the same cop in Muslim garb, arguing mildly – only to be harassed and frisked by the same policeman.</p>
<p>The video went viral. The Huffington Post hysterically proclaimed that it offered a “small glimpse into the ugly world of racial profiling.” Hamas-linked CAIR called for an investigation. But then it turned out that the whole thing had been staged. <a href="http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/NYPD-racial-profiling-hoax-video-675432"><span style="color: #0433ff;">The Smoking Gun</span></a> called the video a “cynical and duplicitous attempt to capitalize on New York City’s documented racial profiling problems.”</p>
<p><b>2. The German mosque arson.</b></p>
<p>Another “Islamophobic” hate crime took place in Germany in February, when there was an arson attack at the Central Mosque in Cologne. But in October, a Muslim who had been held in a psychiatric ward ever since he had been arrested (as the mainstream media and law enforcement officials have now apparently agreed that all Muslims who commit acts of violence are mentally ill) <a href="http://www.blazingcatfur.ca/2014/10/10/mosque-arson-in-germany-turk-confesses-to-attacks/"><span style="color: #0433ff;">confessed</span></a> to having set the fire.</p>
<p>“I wanted to make a clear sign,” the arsonist explained. “Because<b> </b>they treated me badly at the Koran school. It has always hurt me.” He also had tried to burn down two other mosques; it wasn’t reported whether or not he had been to Qur’an school and been treated badly in all three. But until he was apprehended, his arson attacks provided rich material for the “Islamophobia” mythmakers.</p>
<p><b>3. The burned Qur’ans in Dearborn.</b></p>
<p><span style="color: #0433ff;"><a href="http://www.pressandguide.com/articles/2014/06/17/news/doc5399f810f0f03443588853.txt?viewmode=fullstory">Last June</a></span>, after three burned Qur’ans were found in front of the Karbalaa Islamic Educational Center in Dearborn, the mosque’s imam, Sheikh Husham Al-Husainy met with lawyers to discuss his proposal for a statute criminalizing the desecration of holy books. “We want all of the religions to cooperate with us,” he declared, “to bring respect to the word of God, whether the Quran, Bible, or Torah.”</p>
<p>But <a href="http://www.arabamericannews.com/news/news/id_9053/Iraqi-American-man-arrested-while-burning-Quran-in-Dearborn.html"><span style="color: #0433ff;">as it turned out</span></a>, the Qur’an barbecuer was none other than a Muslim named Ali Hassan Al-Assadi. Al-Husainy opined that al-Assadi was (surprise, surprise) “mentally unstable.” Crazy or not, the discovery that al-Assadi had burned the Qur’ans threw a large monkey wrench into al-Husainy’s plans to use the incident as the cornerstone of his campaign against the freedom of expression.</p>
<p><b>4. The Montclair State University attack.</b></p>
<p>Combine the relentless Muslim striving for victimhood with the cult of victimhood on college campuses these days, and even non-Muslims get into the faked hate act. Last April at Montclair State University in New Jersey, a student claimed that three white men in jeans and hoodies assaulted him. They called him an “Islamic terrorist.”</p>
<p>MSU police began an investigation, only to find that the whole incident was a hoax: a student named Navjoat Aulakh had filed a false report. Aulakh may not even be a Muslim. His full name is Navjoat Singh Aulakh; “Singh” is a name closely associated with Sikhs. The Aulakhs are a Jat clan from the Punjab area, and while many Jats are Muslims, the name Singh here suggests that this young man is himself a Sikh. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/navjoat.aulakh"><span style="color: #0433ff;">His Facebook page</span></a> gives no sign that he cares about much of anything but sports and babes, but apparently he does have some significant political concerns. If he is a Sikh, this would by no means be the first time that Sikhs have served as useful idiots for the Islamic supremacist victimhood posturing enterprise. Sikhs even stood with Hamas-linked CAIR to call for the allowance of hijabs on an amusement park go-kart ride that <a href="http://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/04/2010-muslima-dies-as-hijab-caught-in-go-kart-axle-2014-cair-demands-hijabs-on-go-karts"><span style="color: #0433ff;">had already seen one Muslima killed as her hijab was caught in the axle</span></a>.</p>
<p>In this case, a Sikh apparently tried to aid the false Muslim victimhood narrative. And failed.</p>
<p><b>5. The Shaima Alawadi murder.</b></p>
<p>Last April in El Cajon, California, an Iraqi Muslim named Kassim Alhimidi was <a href="http://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/04/www.10news.com/news/kassim-alhimidi-found-guilty-in-beating-death-of-wife-shaima-alawadi-041714"><span style="color: #0433ff;">found guilty</span></a> of murdering his wife, Shaima Alawadi, after she had told him that she wanted a divorce.</p>
<p>Before Alhimidi was arrested, this murder was widely reported as an “Islamophobic hate crime”: a note was found by Alawadi’s body that read, “Go back to your country, you terrorist.” Leftists and Islamic supremacists made a great deal of this, claiming that the murder was the work of an “Islamophobe” who hated Shaima Alawadi for wearing a hijab. They even staged a campaign, “One Million Hijabs for Shaima Alawadi.”</p>
<p>Reza Aslan, the celebrated author of <i>Zealot</i>, <a href="http://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/04/california-muslim-guilty-of-killing-wife-whose-murder-was-blamed-on-islamophobia"><span style="color: #0433ff;">bashed out a sub-literate tweet</span></a> blaming Pamela Geller and me for the murder: “If a 32 year old veiled mother is a terrorist than [sic] so am I you Islamophobic fucks Gellar [sic] Spencer et. [sic] al. Come find me.” This tweet indicated how much mileage the “Islamophobia” propaganda machine thought it could get from the Alawadi murder in its efforts to intimidate people into thinking it wrong to oppose jihad terror.</p>
<p>Yet it was another fake hate crime. And since the mainstream media remains so uncritical about Muslim claims of having been victimized, there will be many more in 2015.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/F121203UL02-725x483.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-225079" alt="F121203UL02-725x483" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/F121203UL02-725x483-450x299.jpg" width="315" height="209" /></a>The madness continues.  The Israeli media, the world media, the Obama administration,  and a growing number of Israeli politicians are screaming at supersonic-jet decibel levels against the &#8220;hate crimes&#8221; of the &#8220;Price Tag&#8221; delinquents. </span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">You will not be surprised if I tell you that the use of the term &#8220;hate crimes&#8221; by the Israeli leftist media and their fellow travelers never has anything at all to do with Arab terrorists murdering Jews.  Indeed, a young woman from Afula was murdered a few days ago and the police believe it was a political murder by Arab terrorists.  You would only learn about that murder in the back pages in small font in the far-leftist daily </span><i style="line-height: 1.5em;">Haaretz</i><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">, although headlines </span><a style="line-height: 1.5em;" href="http://www.haaretz.com">on the front page and throughout</a><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> this &#8220;newspaper&#8221; decry &#8220;hate crimes.&#8221;  Let us note that </span><i style="line-height: 1.5em;">Haaretz</i><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> NEVER denounces Arab terrorism as &#8220;hate crimes.&#8221;  And it refuses to use the &#8220;T&#8221; word (terrorist) to label these folks.  Instead, following CNN and MSNBC, these are always &#8220;activists&#8221; or &#8220;militants.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">The &#8220;hate crimes&#8221; over which the media and politicians are all up in arms consist of teenage mischief and graffiti.  Really.  The Obama people have also called for action against these &#8220;hate crimes.&#8221;   Small groups of Jewish teenagers have gone running about the country and engaging in petty vandalism and graffiti.  They call themselves &#8220;Price Tag.&#8221;  Their mischief is usually directed against Arab property (although in a few cases they have vandalized police and army vehicles).   Their graffiti is anti-Arab and they have targeted churches and mosques.  In a few cases, vandalism was in fact carried out by leftists and Arabs as provocations to be blamed on the Price Tag urchins.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Now I am the first to demand that these teenagers be apprehended and taken out back behind the woodshed and spanked thoroughly with a hickory switch.  Yes they are an embarrassment and yes they are up to no good.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">But hate crime?  Come on!</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">&#8220;Price Tag&#8221; urchins are petty juvenile delinquents.  While they have gotten away with their mischief and have not been apprehended, this may be because the police and army in Israel have real hate crimes to deal with, like genocidal terrorists.   The Price Tag punks are as much involved in &#8220;hate crimes&#8221; as are the subway graffiti vandals in any large city in the world.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Almost no one in Israel justifies the vandalism and graffiti of &#8220;Price Tag.&#8221;  But almost no one in Israel sees it as anything more than a mild nuisance and petty mischief. </span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">No one, that is, except for the Leftist Establishment.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Oh, and you know what ELSE is NEVER a hate crime in Israel?  Arabs burning or vandalizing synagogues.   You have not heard of such cases recently?  It is not because such incidents do not take place in Israel.  They occur all the time.  It is because the media do not report them, certainly not on page one.  After all, it is only news when the postman bites the dog.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Leftist Minister of Justice Tzipi Livni and another cabinet minister just called for declaring &#8220;Price Tag&#8221; members to be terrorists because they engage in mischief and write anti-Arab graffiti on walls.  Think they are bluffing?  Many years back the Israeli government declared the Kahanists to be a terrorist group, and their main activity back then was also writing tasteless graffiti!  A leftist lecturer at Tel Aviv University, one Meirav Alush Lavron (from Film and Television studies &#8212; yes, such a thing exists there) says that denunciation of the &#8220;Price Tag&#8221; acts of vandalism by the Israeli Government </span><a style="line-height: 1.5em;" href="http://www.haaretz.co.il/opinions/.premium-1.2314951">just proves that the government is guilty</a><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> of those.  Kind of reminds you of that famous Hebrew </span><a style="line-height: 1.5em;" href="http://americandigest.org/mt-archives/tinfoil_brigade/not_raping_the.php">University thesis that claimed that the fact</a><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> that Israeli soldiers do not rape Arab women proves how racist Jews are. </span></p>
<p>Minister Livni&#8217;s call to proclaim the Price Taggers terrorists is amusing.  Since her anti-terrorism policy is basically to make concessions to terrorists and capitulate to them, then perhaps this is really her call for a full capitulation to the Price Taggers?  Politics in Israel are so confusing.</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Another newspaper &#8220;report&#8221; </span><a style="line-height: 1.5em;" href="http://www.haaretz.com/news/national/.premium-1.589469">here spread the rumor</a><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> that the Price Taggers consist of 100 people who are led and inspired by the radical Rabbi Yitzhak Ginzburgh.   He is a controversial character who makes statements that the Left and some not on the Left dislike.  How many of Rabbi Ginzburgh&#8217;s followers have been arrested for involvement in the mischief?  Zero.  I certainly hope he will file defamation suits against all the newspapers who claim that he commands the Price Taggers.  And the proof that they are wrong?   Clearly Price Tag does not have 100 members.  In Israel no group of 100 people can possibly keep anything secret, and anything known to 100 people is leaked into the media within minutes.  If there were 100 Price Taggers, the cops would have busted them months ago.  My guess is that Price Tag has 3 teenage members, but to be cautious I suppose I could be convinced there are as many as 5 members.   That is what all the ruckus is about.  </span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Let me tell y&#8217;all a little story,   When I first came to Israel for an extended stay in the 1970s, all of Jerusalem and some other places were filled with leftist graffiti demanding that one Giora Neuman be freed.   Neuman was a member of the ultra-anti-Israel Maoist organization &#8220;</span><i style="line-height: 1.5em;">Matzpen</i><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">.&#8221;   He was arrested for refusing to serve in the military in 1972.   His Maoist friends turned every wall in Jerusalem into a pro-Neuman billboard.  It turned out soon after this that five members of this very same </span><i style="line-height: 1.5em;">Matzpen</i><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> organization were involved in anti-Israel espionage and had even undergone terrorist training in Syria.  They were led by a kibbutznik named Udi Adiv who is today a lecturer in Israel&#8217;s &#8220;Open University.&#8221;   Other </span><i style="line-height: 1.5em;">Matzpen</i><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> alumni today star in the Israeli media and have professor jobs.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">That of course was not the only time that far leftists engaged in graffiti incitement.   And anti-Jewish graffiti by Arabs has long been so common in Israel that it almost never makes the evening news.  In recent days lots of anti-Jewish graffiti has sprung up, probably partly in response to Price Tag mischief, and swastikas on synagogues, gravestones, and Jewish shrines have always been common vandalism in Israel.  While a few cases have been discovered where vandalism apparently by Price Tag was in fact provocations done by Arabs and leftists, I do not buy the paranoid conspiracism of some on the Israeli Right that all the Price Tag vandalism is being done as Black Ops by the section of the General Security Services that persecutes right-wingers.    </span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">The remarkable thing to note is that not a single one of the big mouth postureurs denouncing Price Tag vandalism as terrorism and hate crimes has ever denounced leftist or Arab graffiti and vandalism in the same words.  </span><i style="line-height: 1.5em;">Haaretz</i><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> has never called for making apprehension of the anti-Jewish graffiti vandals or swastika painters the highest national priority.  </span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Oh, and the selective assault against speech also continues.  Consider this news item from the Jerusalem Post, May 8: &#8220;A 22-year-old woman – who was detained on Wednesday and then freed to house arrest – wrote: &#8216;I am in favor of throwing stones, even if it would cause the death of a soldier.&#8217;”   She had posted that on Facebook.  That is right &#8211; she was arrested.  Now I happen to disagree vehemently with her words and would like to see fire hoses turned on people who throw stones at soldiers.  So guess who has never been arrested?   The countless Arabs, including Arab politicians, who call for throwing rocks at soldiers and Jewish babies and doing far worse things than that.  Neither have the leftist professors calling for settlers to be murdered by terrorists.   Neither have the &#8220;anarchists&#8221; who regularly assault Israeli police and soldiers violently and not just with rocks.</span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/1bc8e0c3372bf7fef786b8663aad173c0e22a391.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-224457" alt="1bc8e0c3372bf7fef786b8663aad173c0e22a391" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/1bc8e0c3372bf7fef786b8663aad173c0e22a391-450x315.jpg" width="315" height="221" /></a>Two Democratic Congressman and Attorney General Eric Holder are spearheading equally disturbing efforts to monitor and control the behavior of Americans—even if the Constitution and the truth get trashed in the process.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) have </span><a style="line-height: 1.5em;" href="http://www.wnd.com/2014/04/big-chill-feds-want-to-scour-net-media-for-hate-speech/">introduced</a><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> a bill known as the </span><a style="line-height: 1.5em;" href="http://www.markey.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/2014-04-08_HateCrimes_Legislation1.pdf">The Hate Crime Reporting Act of 2014</a><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">. It would require a relatively obscure government agency, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), to “update a report on the use of telecommunications, including the Internet in the commission of hate crimes.”</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">“We have recently seen in Kansas the deadly destruction and loss of life that hate speech can fuel in the United States, which is why it is critical to ensure the Internet, television and radio are not encouraging hate crimes or hate speech that is not outside the protection of the First Amendment,” </span><a style="line-height: 1.5em;" href="http://www.markey.senate.gov/news/press-releases/-sen-markey-and-rep-jeffries-introduce-legislation-to-examine-and-prevent-the-promotion-of-hate-crimes-and-hate-speech-in-media">said</a><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> Senator Markey. “Over 20 years have passed since I first directed the NTIA to review the role that telecommunications play in encouraging hate crimes. My legislation would require the agency to update this critical report for the 21st century.”</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Jeffries heartily concurred. “The Internet has proven to be a tremendous platform for innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship. However, at times it has also been used as a place where vulnerable persons or groups can be targeted,” he said. “I commend Senator Markey for his longstanding leadership with respect to combating Hate Crimes in America. He understands that in the digital era it is important to comprehensively evaluate the scope of criminal and hateful activity on the Internet that occurs outside of the zone of First Amendment protection. With the introduction of Senator Markey’s bill, we have taken a substantial step toward addressing this issue.” </span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">As it is with so many leftist agendas, it remains up to the bureaucrats at the NTIA to determine what constitutes unacceptable speech that falls outside the purview of First Amendment protections. The bill leaves such interpretations up to the Justice Department (DOJ) and the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, who will “analyze information on the use of telecommunications, including the Internet, broadcast television and radio, cable television, public access television, commercial mobile services, and other electronic media, to advocate and encourage violent acts and the commission of crimes of hate.”</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Civil liberties lawyer Harvey A. Silverglate clarifies the agenda here. “This proposed legislation is worse than merely silly. It is dangerous,” he explained. “It is not up to Sen. Markey, nor to the federal government, to define for a free people what speech is, and is not, acceptable.”</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">One might think it is also unacceptable for the federal government to define racial bias based on the number of police stops and arrests of Hispanic and black Americans relative to those of whites. One would be wrong. On Monday, the Eric Holder </span><a style="line-height: 1.5em;" href="http://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/2014/April/14-ag-445.html">announced</a><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> the DOJ would begin collecting data on such police activity in five American cities in order to address possible racial bias within the criminal justice system.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">&#8220;This overrepresentation of young men of color in our criminal justice system is a problem we must confront—not only as an issue of individual responsibility but also as one of fundamental fairness, and as an issue of effective law enforcement,” Holder said in a video address </span><a style="line-height: 1.5em;" href="http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/376735/another-day-another-obama-doj-attempt-politicize-and-racialize-criminal-justice">released</a><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> Monday. &#8220;Racial disparities contribute to tension in our nation generally and within communities of color specifically, and tend to breed resentment towards law enforcement that is counterproductive to the goal of reducing crime.” Thus, the DOJ has aligned itself with the the NAACP and the ACLU both of whom contend that higher arrest rates for blacks and Hispanics demonstrates racism.”</span></p>
<p>Holder cites familiar statistics to back up his claim, noting that half of black American men have been arrested at least once by the age of 23 and that black men were 6 times more likely, and Latino men were 2.5 times likely, to be imprisoned than white men in 2012.</p>
<p>Unsurprisingly, as is often the case with Holder and his ongoing efforts to use the DOJ to advance an agenda, truth is the first casualty. The reason blacks and Hispanics are arrested and imprisoned at higher rates than their white counterparts is because they commit crimes at much higher rates. For example, black males between the ages of 14 and 17 commit homicides at ten times the rate of whites and Hispanics combined.</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">If Holder wants to collect data, he might begin with data already collected by the NYPD using their crime fighting analytical tool known as CompStat. In 2010, when civil rights activists began complaining about the disproportionate amounts of pedestrian stops of black New Yorkers relative to the representation in the population&#8211;55 percent stops in a community that comprises 23 percent of the city’s population—CompStat data popped a giant hole in the activists’ balloon, when the kind of statistics Holder cherishes revealed what occurred in the Big Apple in 2009. From the </span><i style="line-height: 1.5em;">New York Times</i><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">:</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Based on reports filed by victims, blacks committed 66 percent of all violent crime in New York in 2009, including 80 percent of shootings and 71 percent of robberies. Blacks and Hispanics together accounted for 98 percent of reported gun assaults. And the vast majority of the victims of violent crime were also members of minority groups.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Non-Hispanic whites, on the other hand, committed 5 percent of the city’s violent crimes in 2009, 1.4 percent of all shootings and less than 5 percent of all robberies.</span></p></blockquote>
<p>Stats <a href="http://crimeinchicago.blogspot.com/2012/06/2011-chicago-statistics-on-murder-and.html">released</a> for the city of Chicago’s 2011 homicide rates tell a similar story. In the Windy City that year, 94.8 percent of homicides were committed by blacks and Hispanics—and 94.2 percent of their victims were black and Hispanic as well.</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Furthermore in 2012, the year Holder cites as the impetus behind his agenda, even more inconvenient realities are revealed. According to the FBI’s 2012 </span><a style="line-height: 1.5em;" href="http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2012/crime-in-the-u.s.-2012/tables/43tabledatadecoverviewpdf">Uniform Crime Reports</a><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">, black Americans committed more than 49 percent of all homicides, and 55 percent of all robberies, despite representing less than 13 percent of the nation’s overall population. This compares to 48 percent of homicides and 43 percent of robberies perpetrated by whites and Hispanics combined. </span></p>
<p>None of this matters to racialist bean-counters like Eric Holder. Thus he will proceed with <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2014/04/28/us/holder-race-arrests/">launching</a> a new National Center for Building Community Trust and Justice, a $4.75 million pilot program funded by taxpayers that essentially starts out with the assumption that police are being over-zealous (read: biased) in their efforts to combat crime.</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Tellingly Holder’s real agenda is revealed by what he contends motivated him to undertake this initiative: the not guilty verdict for George Zimmerman, who was acquitted of murder for fatally shooting teenager Trayvon Martin. “Last July, following the verdict in the case involving the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, President Obama spoke out about the need to promote better understanding between law enforcement and young men of color,” Holder stated. &#8221; He specifically directed the Justice Department to work closely with state and local law enforcement agencies to develop training and other innovative tools that can help to reduce discord and restore trust.&#8221;</span></p>
<p>Such discord and distrust is regularly ginned up by race hustlers like Al Sharpton, who played a major role in turning the death of Trayvon Martin into a national referendum on race. One so transparently dishonest, it required the media to <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/12/cnn-white-hispanic_n_3588744.html">label</a> George Zimmerman a “white Hispanic” to maintain the fiction. Even Zimmerman’s subsequent acquittal was insufficient to blunt the DOJ’s agenda: more than a year and a half after they began investigating him, Zimmerman <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/07/15/as-justice-pursues-civil-rights-case-against-zimmerman-fbi-documents-show-no/">remains</a> in the agency’s cross-hairs for possible civil rights prosecution connected to the case.</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">The thinking behind both of these efforts is clear. Democrats and the Obama administration believe there is nothing wrong with using the federal government as a club to advance a progressive agenda that threatens free speech on one hand, and the ability to effectively fight crime on the other. In a time when the American left is attempting to promote the idea that America is cesspool of hate and racism—due in large part to “white privilege”—the public might be forgiven for being highly suspicious of how the NTIA might determine when the Internet is being used to commit hate crimes, </span><i style="line-height: 1.5em;">and</i><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> how they would prioritize their pursuit of ostensible violators. As for Eric Holder, he has made it painfully clear he is willing to use the DOJ to pursue a racialist narrative, even when the facts get in the way. </span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Republicans need to make it clear that another hate crimes bill has no chance of passing. Americans need to make it clear they are tired of an Attorney General willing to </span><a style="line-height: 1.5em;" href="http://www.justice.gov/ag/speeches/2009/ag-speech-090218.html">call</a><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> </span><i style="line-height: 1.5em;">them</i><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> a &#8220;nation of cowards” when it comes to discussing race, even as </span><i style="line-height: 1.5em;">his</i><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> latest effort implies that America’s top law enforcement official believes his fellow law enforcement officials are motivated by racial prejudice, rather than the pursuit of crime.</span></p>

		<description><![CDATA[How the "hate crime" label diminishes the evils of anti-Semitism and Nazism. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/WPTV-JCC-shooting-suspect_1397419397369_4064091_ver1.0_320_240.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-223576" alt="WPTV JCC shooting suspect_1397419397369_4064091_ver1.0_320_240" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/WPTV-JCC-shooting-suspect_1397419397369_4064091_ver1.0_320_240.jpg" width="288" height="216" /></a>Former KKK leader Frazier Glenn Cross&#8217;s Sunday shooting spree that left three dead outside a Jewish retirement home and a Jewish community center in the Kansas City, Mo., suburbs was a heinous atrocity, and the reflexive &#8220;hate crime&#8221; label being applied to it diminishes the true scope of the evil at its core. </span></p>
<p>Calling Miller&#8217;s acts hate crimes trivializes anti-Semitism, the evil that was Nazism and the monstrosity that was the Holocaust. The &#8220;hate crime&#8221; designation is over-relied on nowadays and this overuse has diluted its meaning. Spray-painting graffiti on a church or defacing a statue can be considered hate crimes.</p>
<p>The bar has been set so low that refusing to bake a wedding cake for a same-sex couple is a hate crime in the eyes of many left-wingers. Miller&#8217;s acts hardly belong in the same category.</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Although all three apparently randomly selected victims were Christians, not Jews, the feds appear to be leaning in the direction of a hate crime prosecution. The attack &#8220;strikes at the core fundamental freedoms &#8230; of how our country was founded and what we live by every single day,&#8221; said FBI agent Michael Kaste. &#8220;We&#8217;ve now determined that the motivation behind this was a hate crime. The acts that this person committed were the result of beliefs &#8230; that he had.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Interviewed in 2010, the now 73-year-old Miller </span><a style="line-height: 1.5em;" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/14/us/3-killed-in-shootings-at-jewish-center-and-retirement-home-in-kansas.html?_r=1">was asked</a><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> whether he hated Jews or African-Americans more. He replied, &#8220;Jews. A thousand times more. Compared to our Jewish problem, all other problems are mere distractions.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Miller complained that Jews were running the U.S. government, mass media, and the Federal Reserve Bank. &#8220;And with those powers, they&#8217;re committing genocide against the white race,&#8221; he said. Miller also said he had &#8220;a great deal of respect for Muslim people&#8221; and referred to Adolf Hitler as &#8220;the greatest man who ever walked the earth.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">People like Miller &#8220;praise Hitler and they praise [Nation of Islam leader Louis] Farrakhan and of course Farrakhan was one of this guy&#8217;s heroes along with Hitler and David Duke,&#8221; </span><a style="line-height: 1.5em;" href="http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-TV/2014/04/14/Alan-Dershowitz-extreme-left-and-extreme-right-have-only-one-thing-in-common-they-hate-Jews">said</a><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz, reacting to the events of Sunday.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Dershowitz seemed to suggest that the very idea of a hate crime is constitutionally dubious. It&#8217;s an Orwellian concept wherein the ideological component of an ordinary crime is singled out for special punishment over and above the underlying crime itself.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">In other words, even in America, with its extraordinary protection for free speech and freedom of conscience you can be prosecuted for your ideas and beliefs. No matter how odious or unpopular those ideas and beliefs may be, it is unjust for courts to pass judgment on them.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">“When we were kids we learned sticks and stones will break your bones but names will never harm you,&#8221; Dershowitz told MSNBC&#8217;s Ronan Farrow. &#8220;That’s a lie. Names hurt. They are horrible, and we shouldn’t be tolerating them in society. But the law under our Constitution can’t move against people simply for expressing views.”</span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> </span></p>
<p>For his part, President Obama <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2014/04/14/remarks-president-easter-prayer-breakfast">condemned</a> the attacks, saying the right things as he pretended to be religious for the benefit of the assembled media.</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">&#8220;We have to keep coming together across faiths to combat the ignorance and intolerance, including anti-Semitism that can lead to hatred and to violence, because we’re all children of God.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">It was &#8220;all the more painful&#8221; because the attacks came as Jews were preparing to celebrate Passover and Christians were observing Palm Sunday. &#8220;Nobody should have to worry about their security when gathering with their fellow believers. No one should ever have to fear for their safety when they go to pray.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Obama&#8217;s words may have comforted some people, but they ring hollow.</span></p>
<p>Some of the president&#8217;s best friends are terrorists and Jew-hating Islamists. It was just a few days ago that Obama attended a New York rally hosted by longtime anti-Semite Al Sharpton and his thug protest group, National Action Network, whose inflammatory motto is, &#8220;No justice, no peace.&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">And it was President Obama who tried to steer aid to an al-Qaeda affiliate in Syria last year and who threw his support behind former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, leader of the genocidally anti-Semitic Muslim Brotherhood, who called Jews the &#8220;descendants of apes and pigs.&#8221; </span></p>
<p>Miller&#8217;s views aren&#8217;t markedly different from those held by Morsi, former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Islamic scholars, Louis Farrakhan, or President Obama&#8217;s longtime pastor, Jeremiah Wright. Their hatred is derived from a common, age-old bloodlust that, if not challenged, metastasizes in horrific ways. Unfortunately, the disease appears to be once again on the rise.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/14025235-large.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-214593" alt="14025235-large" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/14025235-large.jpg" width="380" height="253" /></a></p>
<p>Guns are apparently more reliable than black magic. This helps explain the dominance of Western Civilization. But that message can take a while to penetrate even so gun-enthusiastic a place as Pakistan.</p>
<p>But the hate crime may be the American form of magic. It&#8217;s inexplicable, taboo and produces more than its share of witch hunts.</p>
<p>And when America imports Pakistani immigrants, it brings <a href="http://blazingcatfur.blogspot.com/2014/01/accused-killer-had-contacted-4-black.html">with it their unique cultural traditions</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>Parvaiz, accused of murder in the Aug. 16, 2011 shooting death of his wife, told Kuma Hassan, leader of the Ancient Black Magic website, that he was visiting Pakistan with his wife and asked if they could make his wife commit suicide while in Pakistan.</p>
<p>“It she does it here, it is better, because the government won’t question her untimely death,” Parvaiz said in an e-mail.</p></blockquote>
<p>Back in America, Parvaiz had another plan for killing his wife in a way that wouldn&#8217;t get the government to suspect him. <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/news/nj-police-suspect-claim-bias-in-wifes-killing/">Fake a hate crime</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>A Pakistani-American man whose wife was gunned down while they and their son walked along a quiet suburban street plotted the killing with another woman and told police his family had been attacked by a group of men who called them terrorists.</p>
<p>Kashif Parvaiz, 26, suffered non-life-threatening wounds in the shooting that killed his 27-year-old wife, Nazish Noorani. They were walking with their 3-year-old son, who was in a stroller, to a relative&#8217;s house in Boonton when shots rang out Tuesday night. The boy was unharmed.</p></blockquote>
<p>The hate crime plan, like the black magic plan, didn&#8217;t work out too well.</p>
<blockquote><p>In June, Parvaiz asked Hassan, who describes himself as a “high priest of the dark arts,” to cast a spell on his wife and the mother of their two children to make her “move out and disappear,” Vanadia testified.</p>
<p>“I do not want to look like the one who ended the relationship,” Parvaiz allegedly said.</p></blockquote>
<p>He didn&#8217;t want to look like the bad guy in this relationship. So he turned to black magic.</p>
<blockquote><p>Among the other companies allegedly contacted by Parvaiz to make his wife disappear was the Florida-based Extreme Black Magic. After initiating contact in May 2010, Parvaiz wrote back a month later and asked if he was being “scammed” after his payment of $4,500 produced no results, Vanadia said.</p></blockquote>
<p>That seems to be <a href="http://stupiddieshere.blogspot.com/2008/12/ancient-black-magicfor-last-time-i.html">a common consensus about black</a> magic. Kuma Hassan boasts of having a copy of the Necronomicon on hand. Because there&#8217;s nothing like a fictional book used as background in a pulp writer&#8217;s horror stories to really boost your black magic creds.</p>
<p>But the Necronomicon was written by Abdul &#8220;The Mad Arab&#8221; Alhazred so maybe the Pakistani who wanted to murder his wife should have tried him. Lovecraft however described him as &#8220;being an indifferent Moslem&#8221;.</p>
<p>Kuma Hassan <a href="http://ghostprovers.blogspot.com/2009/10/i-am-your-guide-through-seven-gates.html">claims descent from the Mad Arab</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>I am your guide through the seven gates. I shall summon the Ancients, remind them of their pact. My name is Kuma Hassan a direct decedent of Alhazred himself. I posses the knowledge withheld from Simon, Lovecraft, and Giger, the knowledge which he dedicated his life to, refining these rituals in detail.</p>
<p>-kumma hassan-</p></blockquote>
<p>Well that does sound very impressive. Especially when you consider that H.R. Giger is the artist responsible for the look of Alien.</p>
<p>People who pay money for spells <a href="http://spellsforum.forumchitchat.com/post/ancientblackmagic-com-kuman-hassan-4077163">are of two minds about Hassan&#8217;s </a>powers.</p>
<blockquote><p>Hi I am thinking this spell caster could be a legitimate one. After really searching through so many different ones, observing websites and reading the tell tale signs of a spell scammers I think this one may be the REAL deal. Here&#8217;s why:</p>
<p>1. The website is professionally done and formally set up with coloring and layout neat and easy to access and read.<br />
2. I did a spelling check and his spelling, punctuation and english is all correct and professional.<br />
3. His address and IP address are available;</p></blockquote>
<p>Those are all important points. But there are other opinions&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>He has done successful spells for me. The only problem is they only last for a day and I don&#8217;t think they are very strong. I ordered the most powerful love spell he has (the one that says to only use as a last resort) and it only made my ex boyfriend say he was addicted to sleeping with me. That&#8217;s it, nothing else changed and no lifetime commitment came out of it either. So it did work, but it didn&#8217;t do exactly what it said.</p></blockquote>
<p>Tell it to Parvaiz.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/122713-national-Conrad-Barrett-knockout-game-hate-crime.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-214146" alt="122713-national-Conrad-Barrett-knockout-game-hate-crime" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/122713-national-Conrad-Barrett-knockout-game-hate-crime-280x350.jpg" width="224" height="280" /></a>First came the shock. Then disbelief. Then the questions: Why him? Why now? Why did Attorney General Holder choose to file hate crime charges against a white man in Texas for allegedly playing the Knockout Game against a black man?</p>
<p>And the biggest question of all: When will public officials and the media stop ignoring &#8212; and denying &#8212; the black mob violence and black on white crime that exists exponentially out of proportion?</p>
<p>As examples, many point to recent episodes of large scale black mob violence; smaller but lethal cases of black on white crime; and even more <a href="http://whitegirlbleedalot.com/december-black-mob-violence/">bouts of the Knockout Game.</a></p>
<p>Let’s start in Los Angeles, two weeks before Christmas. At first seemed it like nothing: The Los Angeles Times called it a <a href="http://whitegirlbleedalot.com/december-black-mob-violence/">fraternity brawl among 25 people with no particular racial </a>identity at a local hotel and no one hurt. The local CBS affiliate talked to the fraternity president who also downplayed the violence: It was just a few guys trying to “impress the females.”</p>
<p>By the next day, a different picture emerged: More than 1000 people were fighting in and out of the hotel. Before during and after the party. Video showed one person throwing a large metal table into a crowd of party -goers. People got hurt, at least one person was hospitalized for stitches.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://whitegirlbleedalot.com/december-black-mob-violence/">local ABC affiliate cobbled it together</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>According to hotel management, the fight broke out between two different fraternities. Police said everything from fists, tables and chairs were thrown. Some witnesses said fights occurred on several floors of the hotel. They also said police used pepper spray on the crowds.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was pretty bad. The whole party was engulfed in pepper spray. You could feel it in your lungs,&#8221; said one witness.</p>
<p>Authorities say the pepper spray was used when the partygoers refused to cooperate.</p></blockquote>
<p>Other hotel residents said the violence and commotion went on all night inside the hotel.</p>
<p>The party was sponsored by a black fraternity at Cal State Long Beach. No one was arrested.</p>
<p>Near Charlotte, North Carolina, four black people are under arrest in the shooting death of Marcus Kauffman, a volunteer firefighter and expectant father. Kauffman died a few days before Christmas.</p>
<p>At the University of Michigan, three black people were charged in December with  the murder of a medical student during a home invasion robbery.</p>
<p>On December 15, Dustin Friedland and his wife were leaving a New Jersey mall when a group of black people allegedly killed him and took his SUV. <a href="http://whitegirlbleedalot.com/december-black-mob-violence/">The New York Daily News</a> filled in a few blanks:</p>
<blockquote><p>Friedland, a beloved husband and lawyer from Hoboken, had just finished loading holiday gifts into his silver 2012 Range Rover when two men ambushed him so they could steal the SUV. He never had a chance — the men shot him four times before he had a chance to resist or question his greedy attackers.</p></blockquote>
<p>Police arrested four black people are few days before Christmas and charged them with murder.</p>
<p>Many public officials and members of the media deny there is any kind of systematic problem with black mob violence or black and white crime. Their sympathetic denials do not protect them.</p>
<p>In Washington, D.C.,  in December, several black people severely beat a CNN news producer walking the two blocks from his home to work at 4 a.m. He said he will never walk in that neighborhood again.</p>
<p>In Minneapolis at the Mall of America, several black people beat and robbed one of the area’s more visible liberal politicians. <a href="http://whitegirlbleedalot.com/december-black-mob-violence/">Just about a month after Mark Andrew finished second</a> in the November race for mayor of Minneapolis, he was sitting in a Starbucks when someone grabbed his phone and ran out of the store.</p>
<blockquote><p>As Andrew ran after the thief, two young women waiting outside the coffee shop tackled him, and one began beating him on the head and face with a club.</p>
<p>Andrew said he jumped back to his feet and physically restrained one attacker while the other continued striking him. They yelled, “We’re going to kill you! We’re going to kill you!”</p></blockquote>
<p>When police arrived, the two black women said they were the victims: Andrew had attacked them. That story did not hold up very well and the two were arrested.</p>
<p>Andrew was taken to the hospital where he received nine stitches. The third person is still at large. They don’t have to worry too much: Andrew is not mad at them: “I think there’s redemption for everybody,&#8221; said Andrew. &#8220;So we’ll try to find a way for them to get in a place where they can turn their lives around.”</p>
<p>So far Andrew and his social reformers have not had much success with that in Minneapolis. The Mall of America has been the site of several examples of black mob violence. Many documented in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/White-Girl-Bleed-Lot-Violence/dp/1938067061/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top">White Girl Bleed a Lot: The Return of Racial Violence to America and How the Media Ignore It.</a></p>
<p>Here’s how one resident describes the New Minneapolis:</p>
<blockquote><p>Formerly bustling suburbs like Robbinsdale and St. Louis Park have turned into ghettos. Malls, restaurants and shops are few and far between in downtown areas.</p>
<p>Even the Mall of America is under assault. Go there on a Saturday afternoon and you&#8217;ll see gangs of blacks with colors flying and pant legs rolled up.</p>
<p>They ogle, whistle at and harass white women, even following them around. They occupy the food courts, which are a constant source of intimidation and mayhem.</p>
<p>Last January, some 200 blacks got into a violent chair throwing fracas at one of the food courts. It quickly spread to other areas, forcing<br />
stores to close their gates and paying customers to flee. There was cell phone video all over the Internet, showing conclusively that the combatants were black.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll never know if there were any arrests made or charges filed because the print and broadcast media had little to say.</p></blockquote>
<p>And downtown Minneapolis and the campus of the University of Minnesota have been the site of several recent examples of black mob violence and black on white crime.</p>
<p>In December, <a href="http://whitegirlbleedalot.com/december-black-mob-violence/">Minneapolis police told a Chinese exchange student</a> they were “too busy” to investigate the whereabouts of her stolen computer, even though she had located it using a built-in GPS device.</p>
<p>Several black people had assaulted her, knocked her out, and taken her computer several days before. Campus police followed up on the lead and found the computer. They arrested one person, who said he took the computer but someone else assaulted her.</p>
<p>She is just one of dozens of victims of black on white and black and asian violence near the campus. The University of Minnesota school paper reports that black students are unhappy the assailants are identified by race &#8212; as is required in the Cleary law for reporting violence on college campuses. They say they are being profiled.</p>
<p>Down in Jacksonville, Florida, a “massive” Christmas night fight and riot erupted in and out of a movie theater after 600 black people &#8212; many waiting to see a Nelson Mandela movie &#8212; tried to gain free admission by rushing the ticket taker.</p>
<p>Private security and police used tear gas on the rioters. According to the Florida Times-Union out of Jacksonville:</p>
<blockquote><p>One of the young suspects refused orders to leave and began to incite the crowd yelling, “—  — you, crackers, I ain’t going nowhere,” according to her arrest report. Most of the crowd was black, while several officers were white.</p></blockquote>
<p>According to <a href="http://newsone.com/2817326/600-people-involved-in-movie-theater-brawl/">NewsOne.com, a black web site, “the pepper spray</a> is what apparently sparked the brawl that broke out.”</p>
<p>Some would say the riot provoked the pepper spray, not the other way around.</p>
<p>During the 90 minutes it took to get the fighting under control, several of the rioters threatened attacked police, including Jaquade Marquis Miller.</p>
<p>When Miller appeared before a judge, his mother told the court he was a good boy and this was not like him. She later told reporters her son was crying and scared.</p>
<p>Instead of sending him to jail, Miller agreed to take an eight-week course in accountability from a group called <a href="http://whitegirlbleedalot.com/december-black-mob-violence/">Save Our Sons. The program teaches accountability,</a> “healthy choices” and “gives them a chance to vent,” said SOS leaders.</p>
<p>Jacksonville has been the scene of several episodes of recent large scale black mob violence.  In 2012, 300 black people stormed a Wal-Mart, looted it, videoed it, and ran away as police arrived. But not before the chaos was captured on video.</p>
<p>On Memorial Day 2013, hundreds of black people were involved in large scale violence at the beach. Much of it on video.</p>
<p>Self-described youth advocate, Donteacia Seymore of Jacksonville, told First Coast News this kind of violence happens a lot in Jacksonville: “But it was a reminder that this is something that&#8217;s common. It&#8217;s prevalent. It&#8217;s not going away,&#8221; Seymore said.</p>
<p>Chicago residents and police report at least two episodes of large scale black mob violence over the holiday season. In the suburb of Orland Park, dozens of black people were fighting and destroying property at a local mall. Five people were arrested. The reporters at the local Patch outlet were careful to avoid the racial issue, but its readers were not:</p>
<blockquote><p>How does one comment on this and NOT sound racist or some stereotype. You can&#8217;t. So I won&#8217;t try.  Though some liberal will say I&#8217;m being racist or stereo typical but I&#8217;m not the ones who named their children &#8220;Shat-I-Vanna&#8221; SERIOUSLY?! Then raised her in a way to think this was an appropriate way to behave. Sadly, all too often stereotypes exist for a reason. You may call it a stereotype or racist while I call it STATISTICS. See, no way to reply to this TRUTHFULLY and not sound like some dumb ass clan member, so I won&#8217;t try. Sorry, if the truth hurts. People are too afraid to speak the truth these days.</p></blockquote>
<p>Over at America’s best cop blog: Second City Cop, readers learned about 500 black people “wilding” at Chicago’s North Riverside mall a few days after Christmas.</p>
<blockquote><p>When the wilding started in the mall. I would have estimated about a 500 hundred Amish thugs fighting and running like savages. Store locked their doors and security waited until about 25 squad cars from the surrounding areas came and cleared the mall.</p>
<p>They were not really Amish. And readers report neither episode received much attention in the local news.</p></blockquote>
<p>In Syracuse over the weekend, eight black people were arrested at the Destiny USA mall after police and security responded to a “large fight.” One of the people arrested, a 14-year-old boy, <a href="http://whitegirlbleedalot.com/december-black-mob-violence/">allegedly swung a knife at police</a>.</p>
<p>Many in Syracuse said it reminded them of a similar incident at the same mall last year, when police were called to another large fight involving black people. When police attempted to detain a 15-year-old suspect, he resisted. Two of his friends attacked the officers.</p>
<p>After he was subdued and arrested, police found a sawed-off shotgun in his long coat. Three shotgun shells were found next to the body of an unconscious person at the scene of the fight.</p>
<p>Also over the weekend, police found one man dead when they responded to reports of a large fight of over 100 black people near New Haven, Connecticut. Neighbors said two things: It happens a lot. And it has been going on for a long time.</p>
<p>In <a href="http://whitegirlbleedalot.com/december-black-mob-violence/">Indianapolis in December, the last of 11 black people were arrested</a> in connection with a series of home invasion robberies and sexual assaults. A few days before Christmas, two white women were allegedly murdered by a black disgruntled former employee of the family business.</p>
<p>Indianapolis is the site of frequent and intense black mob violence, including mayhem at the annual Indiana Black Expo, documented in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/White-Girl-Bleed-Lot-Violence/dp/1938067061/ref=tmm_pap_title_0?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1388370340&amp;sr=8-1">White Girl Bleed a Lot: The Return of Racial Violence to America and How the Media Ignore it</a>.</p>
<p>No account of the racial violence over the last several weeks would be complete without mentioning the <a href="http://whitegirlbleedalot.com/december-black-mob-violence/">Knockout Games, and how they are still happening</a>. (Or not, if you work for CNN, the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, MSNBC and other media outlets.)</p>
<p>From <a href="http://whitegirlbleedalot.com/december-black-mob-violence/">Brooklyn, Columbus, Rochester, Milwaukee, Harlem, Florence</a> and other places, reports of spontaneous, unprovoked, black on white racial violence continue to come to flood conservative news sites.  And continue to be denied in many &#8212; but not all &#8212; popular press outlets.</p>
<p>Recent <a href="http://whitegirlbleedalot.com/december-black-mob-violence/">large scale black mob violence &#8211;often at night after the clubs close</a>, or in the day at black high schools  &#8212; has also been reported in Atlanta, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Tulsa, Washington, Baton Rouge, Middletown (Connecticut), Pittsburgh, Tifflin, Peoria, Oakland, Long Island, Rochester, Roanoke, among others.</p>
<p>What recently received the most attention were the (pick one) 300, 400, 500, or 600 “teens” rampaging through Kings Plaza mall in Brooklyn &#8212; the same neighborhood  where 10 black people surrounded a white couple in a car at a stoplight and beat them in November.</p>
<p>For two hours on the day after Christmas, “the teenagers stole merchandise, assaulted security guards, and broke candy jars. A group of teenage girls were caught on camera fighting and shouting while security guards tried to break them up.”</p>
<p>Merchants reported widespread panic and property damage, so much so that many were forced to close their doors to protect their customers and merchandise.</p>
<p>The New York Post made a perfunctory attempt to convince its readers this was not another example of black mob violence. It reported “A tall white guy with a grey bubble coat was wearing a ski mask and a skull cap and he had his hand under his coat like he was holding a gun.”</p>
<p>But videos, social media and members of law enforcement tell a different story: This was a black crowd at mall with a large black clientele. <a href="http://chicksontheright.com/posts/item/25160-flash-mob-of-400-teenage-lunatics-at-a-brooklyn-mall-hey-here-s-an-idea">Chicks on the Right tracked</a> down some of their Facebook postings.</p>
<blockquote><p>“[Kings Plaza] was on tilt today but n-ggas wasn’t catching me,” Ray Ray Sextana posted on Facebook.</p>
<p>Another teen, Mark Wallace, posted, “S–t was crazy at Kings Plaza. So the security started shutting down the mall and kicking all teens out but it was so much of us they couldn’t get control.”</p>
<p>He added,“F–ked up my middle finger tryna fight them bitch ass security guards.”</p></blockquote>
<p>At least viewer at the <a href="http://whitegirlbleedalot.com/december-black-mob-violence/">ABC news affiliate in New York was having trouble figuring it all </a>out: “Just wondering, but why are there so many variations on what happened Thursday? Some say claim that there were hundreds of teenagers, that nothing was stolen or it was just these group of girls fighting.”</p>
<p>A few days later, a group of black people beat and robbed a man for his iPhone. The NBC affiliate posted pictures of the suspects. Law enforcement officials in Brooklyn say this happens every day in their borough.</p>
<p>Cops on the beat in Brooklyn, Chicago, Houston, and other cities laugh when they read the denials or see them on television news: There are too many witnesses, too many videos, too many victims, too much damage, for people to deny the existence of large scale black mob violence and black on white crime, they say.</p>
<p>Many black media outlets are way past the denials &#8212; and now into explaining why it is happening. This article from the Atlanta Black Star is as good as anything you can find in Ebony, Jet, The Grio, One News, Huffington Post Black Voices, The Field Negro, or dozens of other black media outlets: <a href="http://atlantablackstar.com/2013/11/26/5-reasons-young-black-men-resort-violence/">5 Reasons Young Black Men Resort To Violence.</a></p>

		<description><![CDATA[The first assailant worthy of federal hate crime charges is a white Texan? ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/2D9769936-today-rossen-knockout-131125-01.blocks_desktop_medium.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-214004" alt="2D9769936-today-rossen-knockout-131125-01.blocks_desktop_medium" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/2D9769936-today-rossen-knockout-131125-01.blocks_desktop_medium-450x337.jpg" width="270" height="202" /></a>Twenty-seven-year-old Conrad Barrett of Katy, Texas has been <a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/dec/26/federal-authorities-charge-white-knockout-suspect-/">charged</a> with a hate crime by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) for allegedly targeting a 79-year-old black man as his &#8220;knockout game&#8221; victim. The victim suffered two jaw fractures in the November 24 assault. “Suspected crimes of this nature will simply not be tolerated,” said Kenneth Magidson, the U.S. attorney for the southern district of Texas. “Evidence of hate crimes will be vigorously investigated and prosecuted with the assistance of all our partners to the fullest extent of the law.”</p>
<p>According to the <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2013/12/26/justice/texas-knockout-charge/">complaint</a> filed by the DOJ, Barrett recorded a cell phone video of the attack in which he remarked, &#8220;the plan is to see if I were to hit a black person, would this be nationally televised.&#8221; The complaint also states that Barrett allegedly showed the video to other people and that other videos contained on the cell phone confiscated by police included Barrett using the n-word and insisting that black Americans &#8220;haven&#8217;t fully experienced the blessing of evolution.&#8221;</p>
<p>As a result, Barrett has been charged with one count of violating the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act. If convicted, he will be <a href="http://www.chron.com/neighborhood/fortbend/crime-courts/article/Katy-man-charged-with-federal-hate-crime-after-5093904.php?cmpid=hpbn">facing</a> a maximum of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. &#8220;It is unimaginable in this day and age that one could be drawn to violently attack another based on the color of their skin,&#8221; said Special Agent in Charge Stephen Morris of the FBI&#8217;s Houston office. &#8220;We remind all citizens that we are protected under the law from such racially motivated attacks, and encourage everyone to report such crimes to the FBI.&#8221;</p>
<p>There is no question that the assault attributed to Barrett was heinous and likely motivated by racial animus, but the <i>Washington Times</i> addresses the other issue that is undoubtedly on the minds of many Americans. &#8220;The &#8216;game&#8217; has spawned a fierce debate since many of the reported victims have been white and their assailants have been black, but hate crimes charges have been all but non-existent,&#8221; the <em>Post</em> states.</p>
<p>Although there have been several incidents in which it would seem apparent that racial hate was a motivating factor &#8212; especially when one considers that other nicknames used to the describe the knockout game are <a href="http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Knockout-Game-Polar-Bearing-Hate-Crimes-Punch-Slap-Video-232695381.html">&#8220;polar bearing&#8221;</a> or <a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/nov/20/thugs-targeting-jews-disturbing-knockout-game/">“Get the Jew”</a> &#8211; an extensive Internet search by this writer failed to turn up a single other incident where the U.S. Department of Justice pursued hate crime charges against anyone allegedly involved in the knockout game.</p>
<p>Not that it would have been impossible to do so. As New York City Police have noted, there have been eight knockout game attacks in Brooklyn, some of which are being investigated as hate crimes by city authorities. All of the suspects are black teens. Twenty-eight-year-old Amrit Marajh was actually <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/US/knockout-game-suspect-charged-hate-crime/story?id=20992590">charged</a> with harassment as a hate crime by New York authorities for punching a 24-year-old Orthodox Jew.</p>
<p>And those are just recent incidents. According to the DOJ complaint filed against Barrett, there have been knockout game incidents going back as far as 1992. A <a href="http://www.bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=pbdetail&amp;iid=4614">study</a> conducted by the Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Statistics asserted that more than 250,000 Americans over the age of 12 are victims of hate crimes every year, of which one third are reported. That means there are 83,000 reported hate crimes per year. If <i>one ten-thousandth</i> of one percent of those hate crimes involved some version of the knockout game, the Eric Holder-led DOJ would have had at least 41 other opportunities to pursue federal hate crime charges during the five years the Obama administration has been in charge.</p>
<p>&#8220;The &#8216;knockout game&#8217; &#8212; and the media underreporting of it &#8212; combines the breakdown of the family with the media&#8217;s condescending determination to serve as a public relations bureau for blacks,&#8221; <a href="http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2013/11/28/the_knockout_game_--_nytnpr_say_no_big_deal_120802.html">contends</a> black American columnist Larry Elder. Elder points out that both National Public Radio and the <i>New York Times </i>have labeled such incidents as overblown. He further notes that, following an incident where 30-40 black youths and adults attacked three white girls in Long Beach, CA &#8212; with eyewitnesses reporting the mob yelling, &#8220;We hate white people, f*** whites!&#8221; as it occurred &#8212; NPR didn&#8217;t report the incident for a month. When they did, it was used to question &#8220;whether blacks, given America&#8217;s history of racism, can even commit a &#8216;hate crime,&#8221; Elder explained.</p>
<p>Americans would be disturbed to learn how those in charge of the DOJ would answer the above question.</p>
<p>For instance, upon taking office, former head of the DOJ&#8217;s Civil Rights Division, Thomas Perez, declared that the department&#8217;s mission would be to focus on legal activism on behalf of minority groups, including illegal immigrants, &#8220;people of color&#8221; and Muslims, among others.  As Byron York <a href="http://washingtonexaminer.com/obamas-zealous-civil-rights-enforcer-gets-busy/article/90506">wrote</a> of Perez&#8217;s appointment at the time:</p>
<blockquote><p>He is promising a huge increase in prosecution of alleged hate crimes. He vows to use &#8220;disparate impact theory&#8221; to pursue discrimination cases where there is no intent to discriminate but a difference in results, such as in test scores or mortgage lending, that Perez wants to change. He is even considering a crackdown on Web sites on the theory that the Internet is a &#8220;public accommodation&#8221; as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act.</p></blockquote>
<p>DOJ whistleblower J. Christian Adams has extensively <a href="http://www.frontpagemag.com/upload/pamphlets/Holder.pdf">documented</a> the level of poisonous ideology that has infected the department under the direction of Eric Holder, who has <a href="http://www.frontpagemag.com/2013/j-christian-adams/seven-more-reasons-to-impeach-eric-holder/">turned</a> the agency into a lawless tool of racial politics.</p>
<p>Take, for example, the gang of 30 rampaging individuals who terrorized the Iowa State Fair in 2010. Eyewitnesses <a href="http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/news/101595828.html">reported</a> that they were yelling it was &#8220;beat whitey night,&#8221; while they roamed the grounds looking for people to attack. A similar <a href="http://newmediajournal.us/indx.php/item/2513">incident</a> occurred at the 2011 Wisconsin State Fair in Milwaukee, where eyewitnesses also identified a mob that injured several people as &#8220;young African American teens.&#8221; The DOJ didn&#8217;t even investigate either incident, much less pursue hate crime indictments. Contrast this with the DOJ&#8217;s role in helping to <a href="http://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/documents-obtained-by-judicial-watch-detail-role-of-justice-department-in-organizing-trayvon-martin-protests/">organize</a> the racial lynch-mob calling for George Zimmerman&#8217;s head in 2012 over false charges of law enforcement racism. According to Holder, the DOJ is still considering ways to charge the acquitted Zimmerman.</p>
<p>If the Barrett case were the beginning of a trend of the DOJ equitably prosecuting these brutal and senseless crimes as hate crimes, then that would be all well and good. However, the notion that the DOJ&#8217;s newfound interest in prosecuting this particular type of violence is colorblind remains doubtful. A Department led by a man who <a href="http://www.nationalreview.com/article/353837/holder-racism-and-our-nation-cowards-mona-charen">dismissed</a> America as a &#8220;nation of cowards&#8221; because we wouldn&#8217;t have a &#8220;national conversation on race,&#8221; even as his efforts to pursue selective, race-based justice has been <a href="http://communities.washingtontimes.com/neighborhood/citizen-warrior/2013/aug/20/madison-holders-department-justice-racist-lawless/">chronicled</a> by a former insider, no longer gets the benefit of the doubt.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[A disturbing pattern of hate crimes -- and media silence. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Picture-10.png"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-204697" alt="Picture 10" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Picture-10.png" width="266" height="211" /></a>Being gay is “about the worst thing you can be in black culture,” said Don Lemon, a gay, black news anchor at CNN.</span></b></p>
<p>Sometimes you see can see the antipathy in hip hop videos. Other times at the ballot box. Still other times black hostility towards gay people is expressed in the dozens and dozens of hyper-violent episodes of black mob violence against gay people. Some on video.</p>
<p>These crimes are a perfect storm of silence: Predators do not want to get caught. Victims do not want to identify themselves as gay. And newspapers loathe reporting black mob violence.</p>
<p>Two recent cases within a <a href="http://whitegirlbleedalot.com/cleveland-hate-crimes-unreported/">week this month in Cleveland are representative</a>.</p>
<p>Jared Fox is a Brooklyn teacher who returned earlier this month to his native Cleveland to visit family and friends &#8212; and a gay bar called Cocktails Cleveland located in a black neighborhood.</p>
<p>Police reports indicate that groups of black people had been hanging around the parking lot earlier that evening. And on other occasions.</p>
<p>But Fox did not know about any of that when he parked his car and was making his way to the lounge. Soon after, <a href="http://whitegirlbleedalot.com/cleveland-hate-crimes-unreported/">as he would later describe on YouTube</a>, he realized he was in trouble:</p>
<blockquote><p>I saw a group of youth on the same side of the street. So I crossed the street. My instincts and my experience with kids told me that kids in large groups are not up to any good. Especially on a side street in this part of Cleveland.</p>
<p>They charged and surrounded me. They asked what’s in my pockets. I said nothing. I’m broke.</p>
<p>They said, ‘You are one of those broke faggots.’ Then I knew why they picked me. That I was an easy target.</p>
<p>Then they just started beating me. Ruptured my ear drum. Punched my glasses into my face. Stomped on me when I was on the ground. My ribs. My back.</p>
<p>They said ‘Give me your phone. Your wallet.’</p>
<p>I got up and started running. They tackled me again. This time they were stomping on my head. Calling me a faggot. And queer. They started to kick my face.</p>
<p>One of them said Do you want to die? Do you want to die?</p>
<p>I threw my phone And my wallet. ‘I told them my credit cards are in the back. My pin is 1234. Take it please its all I got.’</p></blockquote>
<p>Eventually, Fox made his way to the bar, where employees called police.</p>
<blockquote><p>Then the police came. Did I know these kids had been sitting there before? No.</p>
<p>I found out from the bartender that the cops had been called three times in the hour before I was attacked. These kids were sitting there waiting.</p>
<p>It wasn’t until I was attacked that someone came.</p>
<p>When the police officers came, Did they get out of their car? Did they ask to see the footage? No.</p>
<p>Nothing. They did nothing.</p></blockquote>
<p>News accounts in straight and gay media were full of outrage and sympathy and calls for justice. And stories about how this had happened before.</p>
<p>Full of everything except one piece of truth. For that, we have to turn to the police reports for something local media would not say: The predators were black.</p>
<p>Some were wearing hoodies. Some even had masks.  And this was not their only attack that night. A few weeks after the crime, local media published a video of the attack.</p>
<p>It is not uncommon for victims of racial violence, like Fox, to hesitate to describe the race of their attackers. Having been victimized once by an assault, many are reluctant to become victims again by being accused of racism. Some say identifying their attackers as black would be “too divisive.”</p>
<p>Cleveland media may be too squeamish to report the alleged perpetrators were black. But people who leave on-line comments are not.</p>
<p>This raises the ire of those who believe &#8212; despite exponentially higher rates of violence and crime among black people &#8212; this crime had nothing to do with race: Said one poster at a New York Daily News account of the beat down: “I see a lot of you racist humps couldn’t wait to write your garbage  About black ppl. OMG White folks have centuries of none sense killing and rape dating back 100 of years.”</p>
<p>Another pointed out that white people from the suburbs come to the neighborhood to buy drugs. Since they are guilty of crime as well, it is not fair to single out black people.</p>
<p>At YouTube, <a href="http://whitegirlbleedalot.com/cleveland-hate-crimes-unreported/">Hannah Lane offered a prediction</a>: “It&#8217;s absolutely criminal; those men need to be caught &amp; punished for their horrifying actions b/c THEY WILL DO IT AGAIN.”</p>
<p>And they did. Same place. One week later. This time to the manager, Rick Scardino. The police report describes the scene: Scardino was on the patio of Cocktails Cleveland when “10 young B/M (black males)” arrived on the other side of the fence.</p>
<p>They “began yelling ‘you faggots better get out of here. We don’t want you faggots around here&#8217;.”</p>
<p>They were “throwing rocks over the fence at the victim and other patrons sitting on the patio.” Scardino and others chased the mob away. But they came back. This time with sticks and a broom handle. They found Scardino outside and threatened to sodomize him with the broom and “beat his faggot ass with this.”</p>
<p>Then they assaulted him. &#8220;I reached in my pockets for a can of Mace. A boy in a white shirt yelled, ’Faggot’s got a gun!’ and they scattered,&#8221; Scardino told Edgeonthenet.com.</p>
<p>Police arrested one suspect: <a href="http://whitegirlbleedalot.com/cleveland-hate-crimes-unreported/">a 13-year-old black person.</a> The manager of the bar says there were at least three other cases of mob violence prior to the attack on Fox.</p>
<p>All the suspects in all of the attacks are black. That was never reported in any daily paper or gay media outlet.</p>
<p>Cleveland is hardly alone. In the Chicago gay neighborhood of Streeterville, residents describe black mob on gay violence as an everyday fact of life. And as hard as the local papers try to not let people know the victims are gay and perpetrators are mobs of black people, sometimes the information gets out anyway. Even if by accident.</p>
<p>After a series of attacks on gay people in Streeterville in 2011 &#8212; including a black mob stabbing a gay man on video &#8212; <a href="http://whitegirlbleedalot.com/cleveland-hate-crimes-unreported/">Chicago Alderman Tom Tunney</a> belled the cat when he spoke with the local ABC news affiliate:</p>
<blockquote><p>There tends to be large groups of minority youths on Halsted. Whether they are patronizing the businesses or not, it&#8217;s an area where they feel safe. It&#8217;s a balancing act that we&#8217;re tying to make it safe for everyone.</p></blockquote>
<p>If anything it has gotten worse since then. At least one group has a Facebook page to fight the violence. But more and more people are saying it has been happening too often, for too long, for them to stay in that neighborhood any more.</p>
<p>One gay, black video blogger summed it up on YouTube:</p>
<blockquote><p>A rash of violent crime by black youth in Chicago&#8217;s predominately gay and white Lakeview neighborhood (aka, Boystown) has residents on edge, and sparking age old tensions between Blacks and the White GBLT community. It’s been going on for a couple of years. People are getting very, very frightened.</p></blockquote>
<p>The blogger says white people are afraid to mention the race of their attackers, for fear of being labeled a racist. “But if it&#8217;s true, it&#8217;s true,” he said.</p>
<p>Examples of black mob on gay violence is also easy to find in Atlanta, New York, Washington, D.C. Seattle and dozens of other cities around the country.</p>
<p>In Atlanta, mobs of black people attacked dozens of gay people at an annual film festival called <a href="http://whitegirlbleedalot.com/cleveland-hate-crimes-unreported/">Screen on the Green. This went on for several year</a>s until the event was cancelled in 2011.</p>
<p>Also in Atlanta, a video of a group of black people taunting and beating a gay person went viral last year, leading to their arrests.</p>
<p>In Washington, D.C., gays are a frequent target for black mob violence. Not just in the streets surrounding the clubs and cafes, but also on bike paths.</p>
<p>In June of last year, <a href="http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Man-Stabbed-in-Front-of-Howard-Theatre-160469545.html">three black people were accused of hurling</a> anti-gay slurs at a gay teenager, then holding him down while they stabbed him. Then it got really strange in the reader comments section: “I can&#8217;t understand why they are angry &#8211; did the guy ask them for sex?,” said black commenter Debra Winfield. “Stupid people do stupid things.”</p>
<p>Other readers excoriated her for blaming the victim. Winfield doubled down, saying they were stupid. Over at the Washington Post in a report on the same story, <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/crime-scene/post/hate-crime-charge-in-northwest-washington-stabbing-dc-police-said/2012/06/27/gJQA012s7V_blog.html">one gay commenter summed it up</a> and said what the paper would not:</p>
<blockquote><p>The level of homophobia within the black community is overwhelming, and in a most calculated way, they spin it to blame gays, when they themselves are voting against LGBT rights at best, and ATTACKING gays at worse. Time to confront the elephant in the room and stop being so politically correct. Black homophobia is celebrated in the black community and no longer does the LGBT community have to stand for it.</p></blockquote>
<p>A few months later, not too far away, <a href="http://www.washingtonblade.com/2012/11/15/anti-gay-hate-crime-in-columbia-heights/">five black people beat up a gay guy</a>. But first they called him a lot of names. The gay media occasionally identifies the alleged perpetrators by race. The Washington Post and other local media?  Never.</p>
<p>The gay papers are strangely silent on this black-on-gay violence as well. But every once in a while, someone speaks out. After exit polls revealed black people voted overwhelmingly against gay rights initiatives in California and New York, gay activist and writer Dan Savage could not hold it in any longer:</p>
<blockquote><p>I’m done pretending that the handful of racist gay white men out there  &#8230; are a bigger problem for African Americans, gay and straight, than the huge numbers of homophobic African Americans are for gay Americans, whatever their color.</p></blockquote>

		<description><![CDATA[Why American campuses have become hotbeds of fake racism.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://frontpagemag.com/2013/michellemalkin/the-coddling-of-college-hate-crime-hoaxers/oberlin-college-1-m/" rel="attachment wp-att-180288"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-180288" title="Oberlin College 1-M" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Oberlin-College-1-M-450x338.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="203" /></a>American college campuses are the most fertile grounds for fake hate. They&#8217;re marinated in identity politics and packed with self-indulgent, tenured radicals suspended in the 1960s. In the name of enlightenment and tolerance, these institutions of higher learning breed a corrosive culture of left-wing self-victimization. Take my alma mater, Oberlin College. Please.</p>
<p>This week, the famously &#8220;progressive&#8221; college in Ohio made international headlines when it shut down classes after a series of purported hate crimes. According to the Oberlin Review (a student newspaper I once wrote for), anti-black and anti-gay vandalism/&#8221;hate speech&#8221; have plagued the campus since Feb. 9.</p>
<p>&#8220;&#8216;Whites Only&#8217; was written above a water fountain, &#8216;Nigger Oven&#8217; was written inside the elevator, and &#8216;No Niggers&#8217; was written on a bathroom door&#8221; at one dormitory, according to the publication.</p>
<p>Swastikas and epithets were drawn on posters around the school. Activists implied the incidents were tied to Black History Month. The final straw? A menacing presence on campus who allegedly donned a &#8220;KKK hood&#8221; and robe near the segregated black dormitory known as &#8220;Afrikan Heritage House.&#8221;</p>
<p>Oberlin President Marvin Krislov and three college deans ostentatiously published an &#8220;open letter&#8221; announcing the administration&#8217;s decision to &#8220;suspend formal classes and non-essential activities.&#8221; The campus body immediately jumped to conclusions and indulged in collective grievance-mongering. The New York Times, Black Entertainment Television and The Associated Press all piled on with angst-ridden coverage of the puzzling crimes at one of the first U.S. colleges to admit blacks and women.</p>
<p>Oberlin alumna Lena Dunham, a cable TV celebrity who starred in a pro-Obama ad likening her vote for him to losing her virginity, took to Twitter to rally her fellow &#8220;Obies.&#8221; The Associated Press dutifully reported Dunham&#8217;s plea as news: &#8220;Hey, Obies, remember the beautiful, inclusive and downright revolutionary history of the place you call home. Protect each other.&#8221;</p>
<p>But what the AP public relations team for Dunham and the Oberlin mau-mau-ers didn&#8217;t report is the rest of the story. While Blame Righty propagandists bemoaned the frightening persistence of white supremacy in the tiny town of Oberlin, city police told a local reporter that eyewitnesses saw no one in KKK garb — but instead saw a pedestrian wearing a blanket. Yes, the dreaded Assault Blanket of Phantom Bias.</p>
<p>Moreover, after arresting two students involved in the spate of hate messages left around campus, police say &#8220;it is unclear if they were motivated by racial hatred or — as has been suggested — were attempting a commentary on free speech.&#8221;</p>
<p>Color me unsurprised. The truth is that Oberlin has been a hotbed of dubious hate crime claims, dating back to the late 1980s and 1990s, when I was a student on campus. In 1988, giant signs reading &#8220;White Supremacy Rules (Kill All Niggers)&#8221; and &#8220;White Supremacy Rules, (Fuck (slashed out and replaced with &#8216;Kill&#8217;) All Minorities)&#8221; were hung anonymously at the Student Union building. It has long been suspected that minority students themselves were responsible.</p>
<p>In 1993, a memorial arch on campus dedicated to Oberlin missionaries who died in the Boxer Rebellion was defaced with anti-Asian graffiti. The venomous messages — &#8220;Death to Chinks Memorial&#8221; and &#8220;Dead chinks, good chinks&#8221; — led to a paroxysm of protests, administration self-flagellation and sanctimonious resolutions condemning bigotry. But the hate crime was concocted by an Asian-American Oberlin student engaged in the twisted pursuit of raising awareness about hate by faking it, Tawana Brawley-style.</p>
<p>Segregated dorms, segregated graduations and segregated academic departments foster paranoid and selective race-consciousness. While I was on campus, one Asian-American student accused a library worker of racism after the poor staffer asked the grievance-mongering student to lower the blinds where she was studying. Call the Department of Justice!</p>
<p>A black student accused an ice cream shop owner of racism after he told the student she was not allowed to sit at an outside table because she hadn&#8217;t purchased any items from his store. Alert the U.N. Commission on Human Rights!</p>
<p>In 2006, I went back to Oberlin to confront the campus with the hate crime hoax phenomenon. As I told students back then, liberals see racism where it doesn&#8217;t exist, fabricate it when they can&#8217;t find it and ignore it within their own ranks. I documented case after case of phony racism by students and faculty, from Ole Miss to Arizona State to Claremont McKenna, and contrasted it with the vitriolic prejudice that tolerant lefties have for minorities who stray from the political plantation.</p>
<p>The response from &#8220;students of color&#8221;? They took offense, of course, and characterized my speech as self-hating hate. Just as their coddling faculty and college elders have taught them to do.</p>
<p>I repeat: Mix identity politics, multicultural studies, cowardly administrators and biased media — and you&#8217;ve got a toxic recipe for opportunistic hate crime hoaxes. Welcome to high-priced, higher mis-education, made and manufactured in the U.S.A.</p>

<p>The Feb. 8 <a href="http://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/2013/February/13-crt-174.html">Department of Justice press release</a> says that members of the Compton 155 gang, whose members call themselves “nigger killers” (the release spells it out N***** Killers) or “NKs,” use “violence and threats of violence in an effort to drive African-Americans out of their ‘territory’ on the west side of Compton.” Further, “[t]o instill fear in African-Americans, members of the gang tag their gang moniker and &#8216;NK&#8217; throughout their ‘territory.’”</p>
<p>In the <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-0126-compton-20130126,0,977110.story"><em>Los Angeles Times</em> story</a>, over the Christmas holidays a mother, three teenagers and a 10-year-old, all black, moved into a home in Compton. Soon four men in a black SUV pulled up, called a 19-year-old family friend a “nigger,” then drew a gun and beat him with metal pipes.</p>
<p>The DOJ explains that more than 15 gang members “went to the victims’ home and threatened them by yelling racial slurs and warning the juveniles that they did not belong in the neighborhood. During this time, a member of the gang smashed one of the windows of the house.” In the <em>Times</em> account, the attackers came back almost daily “yelling racial insults and telling them to leave.” According to the police, none of the family members has anything to do with any gang.</p>
<p>Compton councilwoman Yvonne Arceneaux told the <em>Times</em> “That’s blatant to tell a family you can’t live in this area because you are black. That’s just shocking.” But the violent campaign of racial hatred is not limited to one incident or to historically black areas.</p>
<p>San Bernardino, Highland Park, Pacoima, Canoga Park and other areas have seen similar attacks going back over a decade. As the <em>Times</em> noted, in Azusa, gang leaders were sentenced to prison terms for “leading a policy of attacking African American residents and expelling them from the town.” Federal authorities charge that “the Mexican Mafia prison gang has ordered street gangs under its control to attack African Americans.”</p>
<p>A violent racist campaign of that magnitude failed to draw a specific response from California Governor Jerry Brown, a former candidate for president. Brown preached his tax increase in black churches but he holds a politically correct attitude toward violent criminals from accredited victim groups. In his previous stint as governor, Brown <a href="http://frontpagemag.com/2009/lloyd-billingsley/brown-is-back-by-lloyd-billingsley/">refused to extradite Dennis Banks</a> of the American Indian Movement, a fugitive from a courthouse gun battle in South Dakota.</p>
<p>Brown’s Attorney General, Kamala Harris, has supported injunctions against gangs but did not devote special attention to the violent racists targeting black people. Aside from the hate-crime indictment, neither did U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder. President Obama did not rise to the defense of embattled blacks nor issue warnings to those attempting to drive African American residents from their own neighborhoods. That marks a sharp contrast to past presidents in times of racial violence.</p>
<p>In 1957, before the Civil Rights Act, Arkansas segregationists, including governor Orval Faubus, barred nine black students from attending Central High School in Little Rock. The <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/learning/general/onthisday/big/0925.html"><em>New York Times</em> story</a> described a  “shrieking mob” forcing the students to withdraw. President Dwight Eisenhower, a white Republican, responded by sending federal troops – 1,000 members of the 101stAirborne – to protect the students and guarantee their access to education.</p>
<p>The anti-black racists in southern California, by contrast, are not blocking access to schools. Rather they are using violence and threats to terrorize blacks and drive them from their very homes and neighborhoods. This campaign has gone on for a decade yet, even under the nation’s first black president, the victims have not received federal help anywhere near the extent of Eisenhower’s action. The explanation doubtless lies with the perpetrators.</p>
<p>One may be sure that if a shrieking mob from the Newport Beach Yacht Club told a family of newly arrived blacks that “niggers” were not welcome in Newport Beach, state and federal action would be quite different. Those actually evicting blacks are “Latinos,” an accredited victim group currently demanding amnesty and other special favors, which President Obama wants to give them.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, gangs controlled by the Mexican Mafia have been conducting what amounts to an ethnic cleansing campaign against African Americans in southern California. The police say they won’t tolerate it but after a decade it’s pretty clear they are. So is the governor of California and President Obama. Federal troops might not be the right response but it will take more than a hate-crime indictment to protect blacks from terror at the hands of violent racists.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[How the conviction of Dharum Ravi of “bias intimidation” fertilizes the enforcement of Shari’a-based blasphemy laws on our soil.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/ravi.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-126049" title="ravi" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/ravi.jpg" alt="" width="275" height="275" /></a></p>
<p>New Jersey jury on Friday convicted a Rutgers freshman of “bias intimidation,” among several other charges. Dharum Ravi had set up a webcam in the dorm room he shared with Tyler Clementi, and then posted footage online of Clementi being intimate with another man. Three days later Clementi jumped to his death from the George Washington Bridge. Ravi faces up to ten years in prison or deportation to India.</p>
<p>This verdict promises to have malign effects beyond the problems of hate-speech laws already long recognized. Most important, it will make it easier for Muslim organizations to achieve in the United States what they have in Europe: criminalizing legitimate and fact-based criticism of Islam by disguising it as “hate speech,” thus enlisting our criminal justice system in the enforcement of shari’a-based blasphemy laws.</p>
<p>Ravi’s conviction has dangerously expanded the already over-broad and subjective statutes against “hate crimes,” which are for the most part based on words and attitudes. Such laws are an attempt to criminalize preferences disapproved of by some political ideologies, and they are based on dubious social psychology theories about how “hate speech” creates a “climate of fear” that legitimizes and hence increases physical violence or harassment against protected groups. The problem with such laws, however, is that in practice they are selective, protecting politically favored constituencies while excluding other groups such as Christians, Jews, straight white males, or conservatives. Worse yet, what constitutes “hate speech” is highly subjective and reductive, ignoring the specific contexts and intentions that contribute to any speech act. Finally, under the Constitution, we are free to dislike whomever we wish for whatever reason we wish, no matter how much such dislike disturbs others. And subject to strict “fighting words” <a href="http://www.freedomforum.org/templates/document.asp?documentid=13718">constraints</a>, under the First Amendment we have the right to express that dislike in speech, including speech others may find offensive.</p>
<p>In short, “hate crime” laws represent another dangerous government intrusion into social and political life at the expense of freedom, all in an attempt to create some utopian world in which nobody ever feels bad, and social relations are without strife and conflict. Yet this goal is impossible given human nature and the great variety of people and their beliefs, some of which they passionately hold and consider foundational to their identities and the meaning of their lives. In a free society that by law gives people the right to express these beliefs and preferences, there inevitably will be clashes, and these disagreements won’t always be conducted with the decorum of a Jane Austen novel. Thus freedom of speech necessarily entails accepting that occasionally one will be insulted or offended. But that’s the price we pay for that freedom, for the alternative is the creation of legal limitations that inhibit speech by using the coercive power of the state to threaten or silence disagreeable political views.</p>
<p>The more dangerous consequence of such legislation, the illegitimate expansion of the scope of hate crime offenses, is what has taken place in the Ravi case. What Ravi did could be considered mean or boorish, but given he was a freshman in college at the time, such behavior is to be expected of a callow youth. There was no evidence presented that Ravi personally was homophobic, no past record of harassing or intimidating homosexuals. In fact, there was not any “hate speech” at all, just a subjective interpretation of his actions as the fuzzy crime “bias intimidation.” As a result, this verdict has broadened the categories “hate” and “bias” to criminalize immaturity––as long as the victim is a member of a protected group. If the roles were reversed, and Clementi had posted videos of Ravi having sex with a woman, nobody would have cared how humiliated or shamed Ravi became, even if he committed suicide.</p>
<p>As a result of this expansion, this verdict contributes to that “chilling” effect on free speech that the ACLU selectively complains about. People who disagree about the legitimacy of same-sex marriage, for example, or resist the attempt to normalize homosexuality, now face the possibility that their opinions, if expressed in ways subjectively interpreted as “hurtful,” could be construed as “bias intimidation” or a “hate crime” or “bullying,” and hence subject to legal sanctions. After all, if normal freshman boorishness can be criminalized, anything can. Already the threat of such prosecution lurks behind every charge of “sexism” or “racism” or “homophobia.” We saw this tactic in the recent uproar over Rush Limbaugh’s comments about Sandra Fluke, which a <em>Washington Post</em> blogger called “hate speech” that “crossed into the realm of sexual harassment.” That is, as something that the power of the government can punish. Such threats can lead to self-censorship and an environment that is hostile to free speech.</p>
