   scale Black riots in hundreds of American cities in the mid- to   
   late-1960s, the liberal analysis of events was encapsulated in   
   the report of the Kerner Commission. Basically, the blue-ribbon   
   panel blamed the riots on white racism, excused the rioters, and   
   urged changes to prevent future outbreaks. Universities, which   
   became the think-tanks of the Left developed theories to   
   exculpate Black violence; they were "culturally deprived," they   
   were victims of institutional racism, and their outbursts were   
   simply a means to cope with such oppression. Furthermore, Blacks   
   could not, by definition, be racists. They might show prejudice,   
   but racism required power, and since Blacks in America lacked   
   power, they were incapable of being racist. Only white racism   
   was the problem. Of course, if you walk alone on a street at   
   night, who has the power, a Black with a pistol, or you? And in   
   the era of President Obama and Attorney General Holder, who does   
   have the power? Moreover, if this definition made any sense and   
   were applied elsewhere, then Afrikaners, by definition, can no   
   longer be racists in the new South Africa.   
      
   The Left-wing theories of race spun by academics were   
   popularized by the media. In the journalism and communications   
   departments of universities, students were taught that as   
   reporters they were to comfort the afflicted and afflict the   
   comfortable. Objective reporting was deemed not merely old   
   fashioned, but immoral. The reporter was to take the side of the   
   oppressed. And in race reporting, that meant coloring the news   
   for the benefit of Blacks, who were by definition, the   
   oppressed. And so academe and the media melded into the   
   academedia complex.   
      
   Other issues were also fused with the new, politically correct   
   mission of the communication majors. For example, as the method   
   of affirmative action became clearer in practice, (basically a   
   way to give the job or scholarship to a lesser qualified or   
   unqualified minority and deny it to the best qualified, if he   
   were white.) To justify these practices of denying equal   
   opportunity to whites, the Left developed the theory of "white   
   male privilege." According to this, all whites were privileged,   
   and to create a level playing field, preferences had to be   
   granted to minorities, even rich ones. The whites who did not   
   understand this justification, were clearly racists, and   
   probably deserving of a Fanonesque tutoring session (i.e.,   
   violence).   
      
   The curriculum of schools has changed drastically to incorporate   
   many of the Leftist theories. No longer is the West applauded as   
   the center of a civilization that freed many men and women of   
   drudgery, that provided light throughout the night, that sped   
   people and goods across a continent on rail, and even in the   
   air, - now the West is depicted as oppressive. Whites smashing   
   the wonderful civilizations of the Aztecs, of Africa, of   
   wherever. And white oppression must be fought. Multiculturalism   
   is the glorification of all cultures - except oppressive,   
   colonial, racist, white culture. The West became the enemy in   
   many of America's schools.   
      
   So the "youths" who roam about lurking to beat whites (and   
   sometimes Asians) are simply affirming what they have been   
   taught in their multicultural curriculum and in the general   
   media. So, poor, raped, Tawana Brawley - persecuted and raped by   
   the KKK policeman, for a year was a page-1 story for Rev. Al   
   Sharpton to inform reporters about the evils of whites. It was a   
   hoax; but the Left did not care. Think of all the educational   
   material that Rev. Sharpton could present to the cameras during   
   that year. And poor, O. J. Simpson - that white bitch of a wife   
   was receiving OJ's alimony to squander on that Jewish waiter!   
   They surely deserved what happened to them - whoever might have   
   killed them. Another big racial even occurred in the Howard   
   Beach section of New York City in which a Black was killed by   
   autos as he fled a group of angry white youths. Even a year   
   following the event, there was a television movie about it to   
   remind America of white racism and its murderous consequences.   
   Yet, at about the same time, in Milwaukee a white youth, fleeing   
   a group of Black youths, jumped in Lake Michigan, and drowned.   
   There was no publicity about the death of Maldonado in   
   Milwaukee. Maldonado was just a white. Instead of running to the   
   lake, he should have simply let the Blacks beat the s___ out of   
   him, and then he might still be alive. The media and those who   
   control it could not state blatantly the main difference between   
   these stories. One is a rare example of white racism; the other   
   an all too common example of Black racism. The media choose the   
   spotlight the rare example, hoping to convince that it is the   
   common type of racism. The media also dismiss the more common   
   type of racist attacks, because that would show Blacks in an   
   unfavorable light. The media rationally choose the stories that   
   they will emphasize. They choose those stories that fit their   
   ideology. So, they provide massive coverage to one story, and   
   bury the other.   
      
   Even though his mother was white, most people view Barack Obama   
   is Black. George Zimmerman had a Jewish father and an Hispanic   
   mother. But for the Leftist media, like CNN, Zimmerman was   
   identified as the "white" who had brutally murdered the young   
   Trayvon Martin. The point of the Leftist media was to show a   
   wicked white racist murdering an innocent young Black. That   
   story fit the Left-wing agenda. Zimmerman resided in a   
   neighborhood recently targeted by burglaries. He was part of a   
   neighborhood watch, seeking to keep his neighborhood safe.   
   However, the Left objects to that. (To the Left, if you want to   
   live in a safe neighborhood, get rich and live in a gated   
   community. The poor, according to the Left, should have to   
   endure the crazies, the muggers, the rapists, and the Trayvon   
   Martins.) The Left vigorously opposes the 2nd Amendment and the   
   right to own arms to defend oneself; one's loved ones, one's   
   property. Whatever happened in the confrontation between   
   Zimmerman and Martin, the Left media sensationalized the event   
   seeking to make it into a racist white killing an innocent   
   Black. I was not there to witness the event, and it is possible   
   that Zimmerman shot Martin without provocation. However, there   
   are other possibilities. Noteworthy, the Martin family has   
   sought to keep Trayvon's school records sealed. He had been   
   suspended for several days, and there were indications that he   
   was involved with drugs and stolen property. Is it not possible   
   that Trayvon was casing the neighborhood when Zimmerman caught   
   him? But, young Blacks cannot be guilty when confronting a   
   "white" (or even an Hispanic-white) according to the ideology   
   that dominates the academedia complex. Noteworthy also, when the   
   New Black Panther Party called for the apprehension of   
   Zimmerman, dead or alive, this threat did not stir the   
   Department of Justice to protect Zimmerman. After all, Obama   
   marched beside leaders of the NBPP in Alabama and he also shared   
   a platform with them. Some members of the NBPP have called for   
   the murder of all whites, men, women, and children. If Obama   
   could share a platform with them, and have his Attorney General   
   Holder dismiss a lawsuit against the NBPP, why would his   
   Administration object to that party's threats against the   
   Hispanic Zimmerman?   
      
   If our media were doing their jobs properly, there would be no   
   need for Flaherty's book. Because the media, on race issues, are
