No. White folks will look at black folks all the same because although there is only a minority of blacks acting this way, not a single black leader, if there is a such thing as one, will denounce these crimes.
wtf: knockout game?

To be honest I don't think the racial element to howthis is what bothers me
some "kids" are just bad. Simply put
but in the case of America, white folks are just going to look at all black kids the same unless they absolutely tap dance for approval. It bothers me how things have changed this drastically with white and black relations since 2008
theres no singular reason but its crazy how the landscape has changed to this degree. I wanna say its probably majority the spread of social media, but im telling you the apologists are dead ass wrong. I remember how kids were in HS and grade school and frankly as a boy you did anything to be seen in higher standing even if it meant undermining someone else(be it a peer, a teacher, who knows)
but this is too far
America carries itself ever really left.
I don't think it's the media perpetuating things
either, those same people from the racists from the 60's and 70's
had kids that grew up in the 80's and 90's
who had kids that currently adults or are growing up/being
born as we speak.

The Honorable Minister Tariq Nasheed Ph. D has released an OFFICIAL statement. He says it is NOT a crime to punch white devils. It is our DUTY. Anyone saying otherwise is a c00n or an agent of the Caucspiracy. KNOWLEDGE is POWER.
i dont feel this is a real trend
Nah, @NZA this is definitely a trend. As TUH and Mep already stated, this is as old as dirt. We played knock out growing up and I was born in '88. Knockout is a generational game (not sure if generation is the word I want here). But all the kids are in a specific age range. I think we started in 8th grade.
The problem now though, is that when WE played knockout, the attention was reserved to specific school districts. For example, we might have picked up knockout months maybe a year or 2 after nikkas in Harlem (random area) did. But thats cause it took word of mouth that long to travel to us. So an outsider just sees it as a random localized issue.
Think about childish games like grab ass, gill, punch buggy no punch backs etc. When you look back on it, all 88 babies across the US played those games at the same exact time, yet we didn't know each other. In other words, imagine the coverage of those games if they were uploaded to youtube….
When you have websites like WSHH, all it takes is one infamous vid to start a national trend. And kids are doing it purposely so they can upload it and be "that nikka." But he's not just that nikka on the block. He gets a couple thousand hits and now he's that nikka everywhere.
But see the issue with the coverage I have isn't with the MSM. It's with my peers who jump on their soapbox with this "omg kids these days" bullshyt.
It's like
. Growing up, getting punched was the LEAST of your problems. nikkas act like buck fifties weren't more frequent than present day kids playing knock out. And you'd catch a razor from anybody, anywhere, just because.I simply don't get how anyone who grew up in/around the hood, during the 70s/80s or 90s, can actually be scared of this type of shyt. Like
Individually, our cities were dropping 2k bodies a year. AND THAT'S JUST MURDERS. I refuse to be scared/upset/phased/ or anything by this.

im not discounting your experience at all, but i want to see the media show police numbers. this has reached the level of major news outlets and local PDs commenting, so i am curious about the actual numbers of reported random knockouts over a set time period. i want to know if it is a statistically significant number, if the circumstances around the crime have some common trait to link them as a phenomenon, and if it is on the rise. a trend is not random behavior that has persisted across multiple generations at relatively steady rates.Nah, @NZA this is definitely a trend.

"At the same time, Detective Brian Sessa said that it "is yet to be determined" whether the alleged assaults in New York were isolated or part of a larger phenomenon."
got that from your link. at no point did i see numbers, no numbers for this year or numbers for years in the past. this "phenomenon" is talk at this point. people get punched every day. what exact reason do we link these punches to a phenomenon other than the perpetrators are black? and where is evidence of an increase? also, what number is significant enough to warrant major news coverage?

But unless we get black people to stop supporting the channels controlled by whites that fuel the agenda and have a channel of our own, that discusses our own issues.....this isn't going to stop.
If this isn't better, than you are drunk.
Why would you expect to see numbers from previous years?
you absolutely missed the point of my postBecause the game knockout is a cultural phenomenon….
this is that outsider shyt I'm talking about. Is this really your first time hearing about it?
how many cities must the game be played in before you see them as more than isolated events? how many teens must be involved before you see it as an isolated event. I think what's throwing you guys for a loop are the words "isolated event" and "game." Once you realize that game is about opportunity & simply to assault someone, you'll start looking at the cases in a different light. “I think it’s very real,” Sgt. Tom Connellan said. “As opposed to a motive for assault, be it anger or robbery, this is strictly for a game.”
Now that its getting crazy coverage, I doubt you'll see the numbers increase. Its all ebb and flow. The only kids that are gonna continue will be the ones that are really about that jail life. Essentially you wanna see numbers that show a pattern. But its not that type of game. Its simply not. If you never played it or been around kids that played it, you won't get it.

Oh great. More fear mongering by the CAC media to get brotha's who walk together shot. I'm just waiting on someone to kill two or three black guys who are walking together. "I was scared because I have heard of this knockout game they are playing so I fired my weapon in self defense". Just wait for it. This propaganda needs to stop. You know what this really is...It's called Assault and Battery. It happens every day. But since they want to add an element of game to it that only young Black Men are playing it is now the nationwide threat.....complete bullshyt.
