In his book, White Girl Bleed a Lot: The Return of Racial Violence to America and How the Media Ignore It, Colin Flaherty chronicles the growing epidemic of Black hooliganism in the United States. As he explains racial violence has reached epidemic levels in almost every city in the country, yet for a variety of reasons the mainstream media and public officials are reluctant to openly condemn such actions. In fact, they often seek to minimize its significance. The police in some cities are pressured by their local governments to refrain from taking reports and making arrests. Despite the official wall of silence, documentary evidence on this trend has been seeping out on new media platforms such as YouTube. As Taleb Starkes, an African-American social worker and filmmaker explained in his book, The Un-Civil War, a pervasive sense of grievance and resentment is endemic in much of the African-American community and is even fostered by American institutions and the mainstream media: 1. These schools are reinforcing the long-existing, deep-rooted victimization gospel that's religiously practiced in the African-American community. . .Moreover, denunciation of this victimization gospel by any African-American is sacrilegious and leads to the questioning of "blackness." Even scarier is the fact that this ideology is spawning urban terrorists whose actions are always justified by another tenet of the victimization gospel called P.T.S.D. (Post Traumatic Slave Disorder)...Combined with the race-peddlers and the mainstream media's intentional portrayal of African-Americans as permanent victims incapable of hate-crimes, this self-defeating ideology has become a societal toxin. Consequently, any Black-on-White crime, regardless of viciousness, is essentially interpreted as Black "payback" instead of Black crime.
