SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS

How many of you have heard about this? Last week outside of the Wisconsin State Fair, mobs of young men attacked people as they left the fair.

“Unprecedented violence on the opening night of the Wisconsin State Fair by rampaging youths prompted extraordinary measures Friday: The head of the fair implemented new rules to keep unattended teens off the grounds at night, and Gov. Scott Walker ordered the State Patrol to help keep order.”

OK, gross, disgusting and sad – but honestly, not all that newsworthy outside of the upper Midwest. What if I told you this:

“Then around the closing time of 11 p.m., witnesses told the Journal Sentinel, dozens to hundreds of white youths attacked black people as they left the fair, punching and kicking people and shaking and pounding on their vehicles.”

WHAT! How did this not make the news? Where was the outrage? We have a post-racial President, this is just not to be tolerated! We need a national outcry and discussion about racism! Maybe because the “white youths” and “black people” were the other way around; it was black youths and white people.

“Witnesses, though, told the Journal Sentinel that the attacks appeared to be unprovoked and racially motivated.

"You could just tell they were after white people. That was the main thing. If you were white, they were coming after you," said Jon Stikl of Oak Creek.

He said he was stuck in traffic as a group of young people blocked cars near the fair gate on S. 84th St. near I-94 after he picked up family members attending the fair.

"We noticed a group of five to 10 young black males run up and jump a young white male for no other reason then him being white," Stikl said.

They knocked him to the ground, and then a group of 15 black men kicked and stomped on him, Stikl said.

"My wife's brother jumped out of the car - his natural reaction was to try to break it up. Before you knew it, five or 10 guys were on him and started punching at him. My wife was able to pull him back in the car. So now they surrounded my car and just started punching through the windows, kicking and shaking the car, screaming racial things."

You see, this doesn’t fit the racial narrative of the mainstream media. Racism is a one-way street in this country and anything else is just not to be acknowledged. I did a quick search on the websites (admittedly, this was quick, so unless it was a real story and not some comment on a Ureport kind of stupid thing, I may have missed something) on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, FOX News and PMSNBC. The only two who talked about the attacks – Fox News and, are you sitting down, MSNBC! Yes, two times today I’ve been confounded by liberal outlets.

Imagine if it was a white on black attack, what could we expect? Maybe the same apathy? Not even my most liberal friends actually believe that. Then ask yourself - why the lack of coverage? Is it racism against whites? I doubt it, but then why?

Really, why?
