With all the news stories in America about knockout games in November 2013, we got to see some prime examples of how White Americans report a crime trend. CNN, NBC, ABC and Fox News put the racist trolls on this blog to shame! Paid professionals at work!
For best results, follow these simple steps:
- Pick a crime trend – or make one up! Consider only street crimes. Crimes against humanity by America or its allies, crimes by Wall Street bankers, American corporations or middle-class white people over the age of 21 do not count. Crimes by white men do not a trend make.
- A drop in black crime: This can count as a trend but only if you can credit the actions of white people for it, like “stop and frisk” or “The War on Drugs”. Whatever you do, never credit “black culture”, “black leaders” or “black parenting” for it! They can only be blamed, never praised. That is like a rule of White American culture.
- Gather anecdotal evidence. Cherry pick news stories and YouTube videos from the past two years that fit your trend. Pick the six best examples. Important qualities:
- Geographic distribution: You will need examples from several parts of the country for it to count as a “disturbing nationwide trend”. The Northeast, California, Texas and Florida are best since they have the biggest audiences. You want to be able to say stuff like “across America” and “in several states”.
- Criminals – blacks, maybe add a Latino. Whites commit most crimes, but blacks seem more frightening due to racist stereotypes.
- Victims – whites, maybe add an Asian.
- Video – the grainier the better! Should be in a public place. You will need a short part that you can show over and over again. Two YouTube videos are enough for a national trend.
- Statistics – not required! Use them only if they make your point.
- Interview the experts – not criminologists or police chiefs, but:
- victims or their relatives – if white or Asian.
- black teenagers – interview them on a city street (the inner city!). Ask them about the trend. Edit as needed. Fuzz out their faces for added effect. Even if you do nothing else, this alone will make the crime seem like a black thing, part of “black culture”.
- black community leaders – they will want to condemn it, while you want to imply it is a black thing. If they do not condemn it, then point that out. Either way you win!
- psychologists – ask them why anyone would do such a terrible thing.
- Wording – use the words “disturbing” and “growing”. Use “trend” even if you just say, “Is it a trend?” Work in “youth” if you can – older people tend to believe the new generation is the worst one on record, even when it is not. But be careful about race:
- Race – Unless you are on Fox News or it is a hate crime, you will probably not be able to point out race. So let the pictures, videos and interviews do the talking.

Abagond,
I dunno if you’ve heard about this, but this goes appropriately with this topic, I think. A newspaper in Chattanooga recently released the second part of an issue called ‘Worst of the Worst. The front page showed a grand 32 mugshots of black males.
People got upset and called it racist. The editor, a white woman responded. Here are the links to the articles:

um abagond shouldn’t this read differently “Crimes by white men do not a trend make. ”
anyway, it is interesting how they mostly focus on black crime and black people when trying to paint us as the worst of society. By watching the news you’d think black people are at the bottom have the highest unemployment, highest drop out rate, violence,etc. But then I look at others stats and see they mostly just compare white to black and may every now and then throw in latinos to compare. They rarely talk about Asians and native americans. because if they were honest it wouldn’t look like white at the top, black at the bottom, latino in between and forget everybody else. reality is Asians would be above whites in a lot of areas, and as far as blacks being on the bottom that is a lie it seems native americans have been getting fk’d over and ended up on the bottom in certain categories that they love to paint black ppl as being the worst offenders of. BUt I guess they won’t report on that as it would make whites look bad. and I think they like reporting more on blacks and acting like we are at the bottom because they are mad they must feel like dam those blacks we tried to integrate with them and they still won’t act right but with native americans they may feel more guilt as they just threw them on reservations. And how they love to try to say hate crimes and oh blacks are commiting more against whites, well native americans have more hate crimes against them than anybody but *crickets* from them as they know dam well who is still victimizing them.

I agree with someone who said that they try to avoid the news. I also noticed that when reporting on a black crime, the black persons face is very large as if it’s a target. The psychology behind making the face so clear and huge is to say “attack this person or persons who look like this man or woman”.
If you also check out the comments sections for white crimes like Adam Lanza people question why it’s being reported and why the criminals picture is even shown. so ordinary whites know what’s up and support the white media focusing on black criminals. I mean come on…. Whites are out stealing in stores and in cars, killing others and they can only find black crime? puhlease!!
One reason I try to stay away from the news! too negative and too focused on blacks. I highly recommend people check out certain message boards sometimes so see how many whites are still consumed with hate.

Everyone, I found an article from the website YAAAMS (Young African Americans Against Media Stereotypes) that should illustrate the inverse of overreporting black crime. This example comes from SoCal. A child molester, who’s a white male, was on the loose for a month. But according to this article, there was NO MEDIA COVERAGE!
Tobias Dustin Summers, 32, remains jailed in lieu of $19 million bail pending his arraignment in San Fernando Superior Court. Summers was arrested April 24th in Mexico and returned to Los Angeles County, where he is charged with one count each of kidnapping a victim under 14, kidnapping to commit another crime, first-degree burglary with a person present, and 34 sex-related counts. To put it simple, he is charge with rapping a 10 year old girl.
On March 27th, the girl was kidnapped from her house, then was taken to various locations in two vehicles and sexually assaulted before being dropped off near a Woodland Hills-area hospital. The girl was barefoot and appeared to be wearing different clothes than those she was reported to be wearing when she disappeared.
Throughout this ordeal, I’m sure the police was working around the clock hunting this man. However, the police never had a level five press conference. The media did not give this story the coverage it deserves. People needed to be on alert about the child molester. People in southern cal had no idea a child molester was on the loose. In the month he was on the loose not one major headline. Even after his arrest, they reported it, but it wasn’t a major news story. I can understand the story not being a national story, but it should have been the number one story in So Cal until this man was caught.

As for a small tangent the comment section has taken, why no comment on the white “affection” for criminals like Bonnie and Clyde and others from long ago – I attribute that to the dime novels of the old west product that glorified Billy the kid and other outlaws – but also the lawmen that tracked them down.
Are there any reports of white people protesting when Bonnie and Clyde were machine gunned to death? How about when Dillinger was ventilated? I don’t think so – white American culture likes to see people get wheat they have coming to them.

Randy,
No one dismisses that these men have broken at least one law before. That’s the only part that is objective. What is subjective is what the police chief considered as the worst offenders according to his POV, and the newspaper ran with it.
Honestly Randy, if you’re looking for proof on why there’s a suspicion of racial bias in that article, I don’t have any to give you. But I will say that looking at all those faces of black men raised a lot of eyebrows, including my own.
Here’s the deal, Randy, black men have been associated with criminality before you or I were born. Laws and policies were established to solidify that myth and turn it into “fact”. The most insignificant infractions were punished with felony penalties because white people back then – like today – believed that black men were inherently criminal, and were criminal against whites.
What determines criminality in a legal sense is based on the courts and justice system. They can determine that hugging in public is a crime, for instance. They can also determine who gets the harsher punishment based on wealth, gender and color. Why? Because it’s PEOPLE who run the system. And in the case of America it’s mostly RICH WHITE MALES who run the system just like RICH WHITE MALES run most news media.
So, why do I have a problem with the article? Simple. It’s telling me and the public that the worst of the worst are all black men, and seeing as how this society operates on confirmation biases, that translates as ALL OR MOST BLACK MEN ARE CRIMINALS.
I find it hard to believe that the “worst of the worst” DOES NOT HAVE ONE SINGLE WHITE PERSON IN THAT LIST, especially when blacks are a minority in that city.
Are we to simply and seriously believe that white people don’t commit crimes in that city?? Are we to assume there are no white criminals in Chattanooga??

Something I’ve seen that’s problematic is how “news” sources layout or frame their stories about crime. For example, a couple years ago, Morgan Freeman’s publicist was involved in some sort of controversy — something not necessarily criminal, but mildly newsworthy. This is a guy who represents a lot of Hollywood celebrities (including George Clooney) in addition to many well-known movie moguls and other business tycoons. Instead of using a picture of the publicist or any of his other famous clients, the news organization chose a photo of Morgan Freeman to accompany the article. Right next to the story about the publicist was a headline about some crime or arrest, which had nothing to do with the publicist or any of his famous clientele. If you were just perusing the news, you’d think Morgan Freeman was responsible for the crime because of the placement of his photo.
This also happens on TV, where they report the headline and use a static graphic to announce the story before switching to the accompanying film footage. I saw one graphic that had something like “murder” or “crime” emblazoned across the bottom of a photograph of a black man. When they switched to the film footage, it turned out the black man was actually a police captain and he was talking about how they captured the suspect in the case. If you weren’t really paying attention, but just happened to glance at the TV at the right moment, you’d think the police captain was the criminal.
This seems to happen quite often — where they’ll juxtapose an image of a black person with something negative, even if the two items are unrelated.

It is not possible to have social justice within a society who’s Empire dictates the political, social and economic values based upon the image of the ruling tribe.
“I find it hard to believe that the “worst of the worst” DOES NOT HAVE ONE SINGLE WHITE PERSON IN THAT LIST, especially when blacks are a minority in that city.”
Its how crimes are classified. The White guy that brought in a ton of crack that devastated the community can afford an attorney. His crime being “white collar” and “non violent” keeps his mug off the page.
The object of the press release was the shock factor. Spoke holes from the locale government will hold a press conference and reassure the community that their tax dollars are keeping them safe. “Remember, be Vigilant”. and report suspicious activity.

As long as their is an Empire based on skin tone then that’s true. The structure of the State is designed to funnel economic privileges to the top. Racism and economics are intertwined. Sometimes religion is layered in their as well.
