‘RACIST’ KNOCKOUT GAME

Nov. 26, 2013 11:38am Eddie Scarry

Some talking heads in the media, often times the more conservative ones on Fox News, have called on MSNBC’s Rev. Al Sharpton to condemn the recent spate of street crime across the country known as the “knockout game.”

Sharpton on Monday used his weekly column at The Huffington Post to address the matter, perhaps to the surprise of some of his critics:

It is an alarming trend that is spurring outrageous incidents across the country. It is deplorable, reprehensible and inexcusable. It is insane thuggery, and it is unequivocally wrong. These kids are targeting innocent people, and in many cases specifically targeting Jewish folks. We would not be silent if it were the other way around, and we will not be silent now. This behavior is racist, period. And we will not tolerate it. …

There is nothing funny or even remotely entertaining about attacking innocents walking down the street. This is not a “game”; it is inhumane behavior that has no place in our country or the world. When you start condoning it and you start to act like there’s something funny about these types of actions, you set up the kind of crisis that leads to the demise of everyone. Diversity is one of the greatest strengths of this nation, and we must respect one another in a way that preserves and further develops this diversity. Therefore, when an injustice happens to anyone, it is the duty of all to speak up. Silence is akin to tacit acceptance.

Many of the reported “knockout” incidents — wherein one person unexpectedly punches a random victim on the street — have been deemed racially charged, with the victim appearing to be white and the attackers black teens.

So all those people who have been dogging Rev. Sharpton for years and years now believe everything he says?

Personally, I haven't paid much attention to him since he stopped working for James Brown.

Good luck to all,

Personally I think he is an idiot. Point is there are many people, including many LEO who believe that KO game is racist.

Left will never want to admit it but it is there. I have not only seen it, but been a victim of threats several times while doing my job.

In fact I have advised my boss I will no longer work in certain areas due to threats I over heard while working.

Company policy is I can not carry at work so I advised my supervisor if I can't carry then don't dispatch me to certain areas.

You assert "It's just an odd coincidence that nearly all of the attackers have been young Black males and nearly all the victims have been White."

Nobody has proven that is the case.

Charles Darwin "asserted" that the evolution of species was driven by natural selective influences exerted upon distinct groups of like organisms by various extant environmental pressures. He proposed his "Theory of Evolution" in the mid-19th century, and at no point subsequently has a superior model replaced it.

It is merely a "theory" however, and as-such no one has "proven" that differentiation between species and within species over time is a result of anything but the divine will of God.

Seeing how we lack concrete, incontrovertible "proof" that this troublesome, observable and sensical theory of evolution is a reality, let's happily gloss over all distinct examples and scenarios where the theory is supported and instead take the liberal lead of disregarding common-sense observations in complete entirety for the purpose of promoting unfeasible socio-cultural ideals!

In laymans terms,the proof is in the pudding.

"The Raw Story" ? Is that one of those newspapers like the Enquirer you read while waiting in line at the grocery store ? I just found out today that Elvis isn't really dead and Queen Elizabeth is pregnant. No offense man but you really do come up with some off the wall crap now & then. This "game" is all over the news, is happening nationwide, and ALOT of news organizations are now finally beginning to question why it was swept under the rug for so long. Do you live in a cave where you only get old news or do you simply refuse to see the truth if it doesn't support your beliefs ?

Here's yet another one I just read tonight.. Tell me Mr Bookaroo... why would the "hate crime task force" be the ones investigating these attacks ? 76-Year-Old Brooklyn Woman May Be Latest 'Knockout' Assault Victim - Yahoo I almost wish the victims would start shooting these useless dirtbags... And then what happens next ? The big badass Bloods & Crips declare war on nursing homes ? Maybe you could go try to convince them to get into councelling for their anger issues and hold hands & sing Kumbaya with them. I bet they could change their evil ways with a little coddling from you libs... Like the song says.. "Don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to"... Hell yeah I'm angry.. deal with it
