Episodes of unprovoked violence by young black gangs against white people are happening, yet are not being reported by the news media.

In mid-April, two white reporters for the Virginian-Pilot were beaten by at least 30 blacks. Their wounds were so severe they had to take a week off work. However, the newspaper they worked for did not report the story until early May. Police officers called to the scene downplayed the beatings as “a simple assault.”

Similar attacks on whites have occurred in Denver, Chicago, Cleveland, Los Angeles, New York and Washington. Both the authorities and the media have brushed these incidents aside as well. They do so by ignoring the race of the people involved, or claiming there was no racial motivation (even in cases where the attackers were spewing out anti-white statements), or simply failing to report the incidents altogether.

Why? Some thinkers believe that a race war is being censored to avoid white backlash.

Economist and columnist Thomas Sowell, writing for Investors.com, states, “What the authorities and the media seem determined to suppress is that the hoodlum elements in many ghettos launch coordinated attacks on whites in public places. If there is anything worse than a one-sided race war, it is a two-sided race war, especially when one of the races outnumbers the other several times over.”

Their efforts to keep the lid on such a catastrophe may be understandable, he said. “But a lot of pressure can build up under that lid. If and when that pressure leads to an explosion of white backlash, things could get a lot worse than if the truth had come out earlier, and steps taken by both black and white leaders to deal with the hoodlums and with those who inflame the hoodlums.

“These later would include not only race hustlers such as Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson but also lesser known people in the media, in educational institutions and elsewhere who hype grievances and make all the problems of blacks the fault of whites.”

The race problem we see today is more than an American problem: It is a global epidemic.

“Everywhere we look, we see ethnic division and racial hatred accompanied by gruesome acts of violence and war,” we wrote in the May/June 2012 Trumpet issue. “And it is intensifying! It seems as if we are reminded daily that man’s never-ending attempt to solve the problems of this world—apart from God and His immutable laws—has utterly failed! The ‘solutions’ men propose only incite more violence and more hatred. Soon, these simmering tensions, passions and hatreds will boil over into full-scale race wars!

“God has warned about all of this well in advance of it actually happening, which is why the Trumpet follows these disturbing trends so closely.” Be sure to read the entire article “Race to War.”
