Is it now time to consider black culture a failed culture full of savages?

If not, why not? The evidence is pretty damning.
High school drop outs are more a reflection on income and single parents. What percentage of minorities are in prison because of non violent drug use compared to whites?
A few examples of the knockout game and you want to condemn an entire race? The savage comment is repulsive.

You have stated the "knockout game" is not real that it was a coined term by some "white supremacist" you now have been destroyed by not only my anecdote but hy the HuffPo writer who explicitly recognized there is such a game.

Now you are moving the goalposts from "the knockout game not being real just some sensationalist term made up by a white supremacist" to it being some faux nation-wide trend.

Even if it ISN'T a nationwide trend....you have yet to answer the question. Why shouldn't these hate crimes be reported? Why shouldn't they be sensitized? Please, answer this!
In order for this to be a hate crime the targets must be selected for a specific reason. That is, being white, being black, being Jewish, being Muslim, etc. A black guy hitting a white guy isn't sufficient grounds unless you want to go back to the 1950's and punish a black guy more severely for simply being black.

The main problem with the hate crime law is it is easy for whites to be charged with a hate crime even if race isn't a factor in the crime but yet any minority that does it to another doesn't really see it tacked on. If this was white kids beating up black kids in a similar "knockout game", there would be uproar by Jesse Jackson and Reverend Al Sharpton to charge them with a hate crime.

FYI, I still think the so-called knockout game is an over-reported cause celeb social panic that is really a non-issue except claiming that beatdowns are encouraged by video sharing social media.

It's really only a matter of time until one of these punks plays "The Knockout Game" with someone with a CCW and a large calibre handgun before America is going to have another Zimmerman/Goetz case on its hands.

If he`s knocked out what will he do with his gun? Oh, that`s right, the hoodlum gets the gun.

Much as my sentiment is with the previous poster as to the street justice deserved by these thugs, the outcome you describe above is probably more likely.

The whole welfare system is a knockout game.

That's assuming the punk actually succeeds in knocking him out and not just giving him a love tap. A one-punch knockout is not as easy as you think, despite what you may believe from watching too much television.

If it wasn't too late, I'd delete my post 137, because after reading this I have no idea what you're trying to say or where your sentiment lies.

Love tap? Too much television?

Have you not seen the multitude of posted videos of real events? If anything, "television" minimizes the seriousness of a "knockout" punch where the victim is blindsided.

You can think that but the majority of CCW are not stupid. They will not get close enough to even get a chance to get hit. Plus "gun Nuts" who carry, know how to use them.

When America implodes it's going to be one hell of a race war. And the ones holding their pistols sideways will lose.
