In the OP post the video explicitly says that the kid heard about the knockout game on TV and wanted to play.

To me the knockout game is similar to mass shootings– the media sensationalizes one or two reports of crimes, which inspires copycats, thereby perpetuating similar crimes, and continually feeds into the crime cycle.

White Guy Accused Of Filming 'Knockout Game' Attack On Black Man Gets Charged With Hate Crime

and i posted on some whites saying his girlfriend was knocked out, but it was in fact the white male who knocked his girlfriend out.

from what ive seen whites do it as often as anyone else, just doesnt get reported.

Knockout is overwhelmingly black on white assault. The black apologists and white liberals who deny the facts of these violent, abhorrent crimes are not being honest.

Yes let's keep pretending it's not happening and maybe it'll just go away on its own.

Knockout Game Victim Chases Down Attackers In Baltimore, Calls Them ‘Cowards’ [Video]
Eric says he was walking down the street when the teens punched him in the ear and slapped his brother on the head:

“The moment I got hit, that split second, I knew what was going on. I’ve heard the stories, and I wasn’t going to let these kids get away. When they realized I didn’t go down — I just chased after them — they weren’t really smart because they hit us on the bottom of the hill and tried to escape on BMX bikes up a hill. People who play the knockout game are cowards. There was 20 of them and two of us. The moment we chased them, they all went away. I really just wanted to make sure that we caught the kid and made sure he couldn’t do that to somebody else.”

It's not really ignoring it...since it does not exist (in some eyes)

More black on non-black crime that the world will never know about and will be swept under the rug by the media:

Marine shot dead by robbers:

Jonathon Price, 26, is shot dead and his young wife is injured in tragic robbery | Mail Online

Restaurant owner robbed and killed.

Cleveland Heights | Shooting kills owner of Brennan's Colony

Yep black on non-black crime IS NOT a huge problem in the US. I'm sure someone will come along and say 'Well its only a few incidents involving a few bad apples. Its not a huge issue.'

Does it matter? Would you feel better if these thugs were knocking out people of their race or any other race, but Whites, or would you feel better if Whites were knocking out other Whites? What does the race of these idiots have to do with anything? Crime is a "huge issue" period, and the race of these thugs are only an issue for those who need it to be (people like yourself).

Yes I WOULD feel better if blacks mostly stuck to assaulting, robbing and killing their fellow blacks rather than involving non-blacks and making them their victims. Its bad enough that blacks seem happy to continually mess their own neighborhoods up and unendingly killing and wounding their own kind, but it pisses me off that they have to kill, wound, rob and destroy the property of non-blacks who have nothing to do with them.

The crime rate among non-blacks is fairly low and it would be even lower if blacks didn't feel the need to ruin other people's lives and wreak what others have built and taken the time to maintain in good order. So you're wrong. While crime is an issue among non-blacks in America, its NOT AS HUGE AN ISSUE as it is with blacks. You can walk in a mostly white, asian, indian etc neighborhood pretty much anywhere in the US and your chance of becoming a victim of crime would be very low. You could move in those neighborhoods and your chances of being robbed or assaulted would also be low. You can go out on the town in a mostly non-black city and enjoy life and not worry about being killed.

You can't say the same for many areas populated by blacks. There's a reason why large sections of a number of major cities in the US are off limits to non-blacks unless you have a death wish. And there's a reason why in cities with large black populations, you should be watching your back. If you removed black crime from the statistics, the crime and murder rates for the US would be very comparable to most European countries. We might still be higher than them, but it wouldn't be MUCH higher than them as it is now.

So again yes I wish blacks would just stick to screwing themselves rather than messing up everyone else and taking us down with them.
