I hope to keep seeing these stories till the knock out game disappears or everyone playing it does.

Took 2 seconds on google.

Quote:No legitimate media entities have covered this story. With knockout game stories getting such heavy coverage over the past few weeks, a story of this magnitude would be likely be splashed across mainstream media.

So it appears the story is fake until further notice.

Every stereotype you've ever heard "lazy", "violent", "welfare dependent", "fat", they said them. They hate to be associated with them.

Immigrant Blacks especially Caribbean Blacks(exception Dominicans) are a more race aware than Blacks Americas are. They understand the quickest way to gain favor with White Americans is to throw Blacks Americans under the bus. A large percentage of leader of the civil right movement had West Indian roots. Malcom X, Marcus Garvey, Schomburg. The list goes on. So don't think for a minute that they are docile and subservient to Whites just because they smiled at you...

In other words, they are just gaming ya brah.

Not true.

Just because A Black American didn't kiss your ass fast enough or because some TSA hood rat gave you attitude doesn't mean that they hate you. If they treat you like shit, you should see how they treat other Black people.

Its actually the other way around. in aggregate American Blacks love Whites. Tha't s the problem. American Blacks love Whites so much that they copied themselves in their image. The "thug" culture that many American Blacks think is theirs is actually poor White Redneck culture.

Quote:illegitimacy, lively music and dance, and a style of religious oratory marked by strident rhetoric, unbridled emotions, and flamboyant imagery. All of this would become part of the cultural legacy of blacks, who lived for centuries in the midst of the redneck culture of the South.

--Thomas Sowell(google him, far from a lib)

Ask yourself whose really benefiting from Black-on-Black crime? lower to middle class Whites are eating very well because Tyrone is too dumb to understand that he actually perpetuating the system of White Supremacy by engaging in crime. In NYC probably like 100k people mostly Whites who live and spend their money in primary all White neighborhood in the suburbs work in some capacity in the criminal justice system.

The average Black person doesn't even believe that White Supremacist even exist. They have been conditioned/socialized to believe that racism is a White person calling them "nigger." This is why the average Black gets all up in arms when a celebrity says "nigger" yet they don't even bat an eye that high paying construction crews on majority non-white cities are predominately all White.

Did you actually do IQ testing on criminals yourself? I've always been interested in the topic of intelligence and crime rates.

I am curious in this as well. I defer to Iknowexactly experience of course because I never worked in a prison setting and I don't know shit about CA. However, long ago I worked as a youth counselor, a sizable portion of them ended up in greater confinement and I don't think low IQ was the primary reason, history of prior sexual abuse was a primary predictor.

Something that nobody likes to talk about in the Black/Hispanic community is the amount of sexual abuse/molestation going on. A large % of hoodrats and the hyper masculine thugs have been molested as kids.

I am wondering about Iknowexactly take on mental illness, sexual abuse and crime.

I'm not sure about the future of this world we live in.

There's a lot of things wrong with this news-clip.

1. They have a random black guy who they never even mention what his name is by the way, to speak on behalf whats going on with the "knockout game." Who is he? They are doing a story on this new knockout game and cut to some random black dude with no name, no title, nothing, and he somehow is a representative of the black community. That should be a red flag right there.

2. Minute 0:22 to 0:29 they show a surveillance video of a group of black kids walking in Jersey but they don't do anything. The news lady says it was surveillance caught of teens right after they assaulted someone. Really? Where is the assaulting in the clip? Second red flag right there.

3. Minute 0:30 to 0:42. The youtube clip looks very old, like if it was made 5 years ago of a random black guy hitting an older white guy where a kid in the background is yelling "one hitter quitter" then they cut back to the no name random black guy and hes like "Yeah! Its called the one hitter quitter" Really? It looks like they just got a random black dude and fed him some lines to say and hes basically repeating everything the news people are telling him("Is it a macho thing?" "Yeah its a macho thing" Third red flag right there.

4. They go to some ratchet school in the hood in Jersey and try to get some black kids to talk about the "knockout game". And I know for a fact that in our communities especially in the Hispanic or Black communities whenever some hood rats or barrio people see a camera they turn up since hood people LOVE attention, sometimes having people in the background throwing gang signs etc... So these sleazy news people go to the hood and tell a bunch of hood kids "hey will put you on TV, tell us about the 'knockout game' whats it all about?" Then the kids who are looking for attention will just turn up and say "Oh yeah its when we beat people up and knock them out , blah, blah, blah." Fourth red flag there.

5. They blur all the high school kids faces. You rarely see high school kids faces blurred on TV. When people interview high school kids in the news they never blur them. Why did they blur these kids faces? Whenever you blur a person's face it signals to the viewer that the person is compliant with whatever crime they committed. It makes it seem like they are the actual criminals by trying to mask their criminal identities. Fifth red flag right there.

6. Minute 1:01 to 1:18 where they show a black kid punching a white teacher and knocking him down. First of all it looks like the video is a year old, more like 2 years old. There is no evidence whatsoever that it was part of a knockout game and it looks more like an isolated case of a black kid knocking down a white guy. If they want to play that game, why don't they show the numerous videos of lots of white kids beating up on homeless black guys or Hispanic guys on youtube? Sixth red flag right there.

7. Minute 1:57 to 2:02. That incident actually happened in London and not in the US. The guy was an African Nigerian guy who was 35 (not a teen) and mentally ill and was not playing a knockout game whatsoever. The guy also assaulted a black woman in London as well, how come no one is talking about that?
http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2013/feb/2...ed-attacks
^^^^ So that attack was not even in the US, much less Jersey. Why the hell is it even on this news-clip?????


There is absolutely no concrete evidence from this news clip that there is even such thing of this kind of game occurring. It really just looked like a bunch of videos of blacks assaulting whites from videos over the years from all over the place, from isolated cases put into this news-clip and got people in the hood to say that this kind of game is popping off all over the country which is BS.

Calm me a conspiracy theorist but I think this is a scare that many whites are trying to portray about blacks to justify new laws that will be put in place for minorities. This is nothing new and spewing propaganda of dangerous black people is as American as apple pie which began in the early 1900s with titles like "The raping negro" where whites were scared of blacks raping their wives and till this day still occurs.

There's a lot of guys on this thread saying that black people are racist as well as whites, which I tend to disagree. If blacks are racist, who are they disenfranchising? Who are they affecting? It certainly is not affecting whites. Where is this system of black supremacy if there is actual black racism and how is it disenfranchising people as far as their education, work, politics? School me, maybe I'm missing something because I don't see it. And I'm not even black, but I have to call out BS when I see it.

A few of the guys I ran with kicked a homeless man to death one night drunk right after we graduated high school. Spent most of their twenties in prison.

Whenever we got hammered they'd go off in search of bums to beat up on - they thought it was funny at the time, like these knockout game kids. I never condoned it and jumped in to stop it whenever I saw it. It was like a game in our small town. Almost brawled a few friends over it, and eventually they learned it didn't fly when I was around. "It's just a bum," they'd say when you got on them about it.

Groupthink.

When you receive a punch in the face, you ARE affected.

When the man who, out of nowhere, punched you in the face, is laughing and enjoying it for no reason, then this mugger IS racist. What other reason for him to attack you, 'randomly', other than sheer racism?

Also, how can you say that Black people are totally not racist? Ever read about Africa and its perpetual tribal wars? Tribal wars are racist wars, alas.

^^^^ There is no system of oppression in America that actively works to oppress and subjugate whites. If there is, I want to hear it. No way no how. What you guys are describing are cases of individualism where kids just beat up on random people. These black kids do not have institutionalized power to actively oppress them in every facet of their life nor will their "racism" be upheld and supported by the government, media, and legislation if they did. Sure, these kids beating up people is unfortunate and I don't condone it, which everyone shouldn't but to call it "reverse racism" is just completely wrong. These are just cases of assault period! Which are cases that happen all over the world, I just hate how the news is cherry picking old youtube videos of black kids assaulting whites and putting it out in the media and trying to portray and to sell the American people propaganda about how supposedly there is a nationwide game of blacks beating up whites. Thats BS!

The video I posted had nothing to do with kids. The guy said the next white person that walked by him would get knocked out. He ended up killing an old white dude. Did you even watch it?

These particular crimes are called hate crimes for a reason.

Look, most white people don't have any type of power to subjugate anybody. They are in the same boat as blacks and every other race.

What you are telling me, as long as I don't have any power over others, I can say any type of racial slurs, beat up people of a particular race and technically I shouldn't be labeled as a racist.

You know that is bullshit. You seem to be buying into the whole white guilt propaganda.

Saying black people can't be racist is the same as saying women can't be sexist.

Post: #212

Black people can definitely be racists. And there are even black supremacists. The difference is that black supremacists are the people standing on the street corner wearing funny costumes and yelling unintelligible things, while white supremacists have had positions of real power in this country.

Also, a white guy caught in the wrong neighborhood might become a target, but so will a black guy caught in the wrong neighborhood. In general, the kind of people out robbing and assaulting will victimize anyone they view as a target, white or black.

In general, there is very little downside to being white in America. Even affirmative action affects Asians more than whites.

Please explain. How is it possible? Affirmative Action negatively affects everybody who does not profit from it, it is logical, mathematical.

example : If you were almost admitted to a prestigious University, considering your quite excellent marks, but, a Black young man or woman is admitted instead of you on Affirmative Action criteria, - then you have been fucked, whether you are White or Asian or Arab, or whatever.

If you compare schools that use affirmative action in their admissions process against those that blindly assess test scores and grades, the percentage of whites is the same. It's the percentage of Asians that really jump up when you just go by the scores and grades.

What you're not taking into account is that affirmative action is just one small aspects of the admissions process. To use your example, think of it this way. Tom doesn't get into Harvard, but Jamal, who has worst grades does. Tom considers himself a victim of affirmative action. However, Tom doesn't realize that Chip also had worst grades, but got in because his dad and grandad both went to Harvard. And he doesn't know that Charles got in because his parents had some pull with a well-connected alumni who did Charles' parents a favor and wrote his recommendation. He also doesn't realize that Susie's wealthy parents were able to hire a $35,000 college admissions consultant who edited all of her essays and also send her on a summer trip to Senegal to take pictures with sad-looking brown babies.

We agree, in all races, children from wealthy and powerful parents will fare well. (unless they are sick or drug-addicts of course)

Only the poor and middle-class kids will need to fight for a good life, whatever their race is, I agree.

By the way, thanks for telling me about those 'college admissions consultants', I was not really aware that such profession exists. Is it a legal, registered, tax-paying job? Editing school essays, that can't be totally legal!?

The knockout game is a natural consequence of the current condition which is promoted by the American ruling power structure. The controlled media for the last year has been demonizing Zimmerman, sewing seeds of racial hatred and giving a platform to race batters like Al Sharpton. They are doing it for Trayvon like they have been told by MSNBC. In America you have an entitled underclass who receive all the benefits and endless excuses for their bad behavior. The dwindling middle class is being dealt another body blow and forced to bear the crippling burden of the socialist redistribution program Obamacare. The violence you are seeing is just a mild beginning of what you can expect as America heads towards third world status and the middle class disappears. I feel much more secure in Mexico and rarely go back to the US anymore. It just isn't safe.

I hope I am out of this country, or at least some where safe when the interest rates go up and all this Bush + Obama massive debt means we can no longer pay for welfare programs and the entitled underclass becomes both angry and fearful of not being able to feed themselves.

The US isn't safe? No offense dude, but maybe you should toughen up a bit. There are neighborhoods in NY and DC that 25 years ago if you went through, you took your life in your own hands. You walk through those neighborhoods now and they're full of skinny hipsters and expensive cheese shops. Why you so scared?

Also, I'm guessing that you haven't been to the areas where the underclass actually live, because you wouldn't be talking about their "endless benefits." Certainly it's better to be born poor in America than in say India, but let's not overstate how awesome it is to be born poor in the US.

The benefits the poor in the US receive are pretty good.

Free housing, free food, free phones, God knows what else.

The problem is, we simply cannot afford it much longer. And when it starts to wane the results could get scary.

That is just not true. Go look at the budget for yourself. Most of the money that the government spends is on defense, which mostly benefits the upper middle class and the rich, and Social Security and Medicare, which are middle class transfer programs.

We are going broke because people want lots of government goodies, but don't want to pay for them. So the politicians and the media find different groups to scapegoat. The progressive media blames it all on evil corporations and the conservative media blames it on poor people.

You are being played by the same power structure that you think you are opposing.

Yes, a large chunk of money is spent on defense.

We are going broke for many reasons. It all comes back to greed. But in the end we are going broke because we simply spend way too much money. In reality, we just waste way too much money. Govt. is inefficient, and the waste and fraud is rampant. Such as a $500 million website, that should have cost around $20 million max and the damn thing doesn't even work.

Regardless, when interest rates go up things will get cut. And part of the cut will be welfare. And the reaction will not be pretty.

Post: #225

^^^^ You all know why the Welfare state was created right? It was created to really keep blacks and minorities "legally" segregated after the Civil Rights act passed and after the 14th Amendment was ratified. Government found a way to legally segregate whites and blacks by creating welfare programs to keep blacks comfortable or should I say comfortable enough for them not to revolt again. When you have people in a compressed neighborhood (the projects) and with very little to do since they are not working, you then have crime. All of this created to keep blacks and minorities in their place so they can have no way to come up from their situation and to keep them at the bottom.

All of this is described in the book "The Warmth of Other Suns" by Isabel Wilkerson. Great read if interested.



All of this that's happening today is just a creation ready to bite government back in the ass. They created this monster.
