Update: Good news about black folks! The man’s a hero. That was a totally selfless act.

Warning: Rant below.
This post is categorized under “Comedy” not because violence is a laughing matter. I just find it humorous that so-called civil rights groups and various race hustling camera-hogs are transparently absent and deafeningly silent about hispanic-on-black crime in California.
Reading yet another story about hispanic-on-black gang violence (free reg. req.), I thought about the stunning lack of blanket news coverage on network or cable TV or a “national debate.” An excerpt:
Two weeks ago, Lovett’s 14-year-old daughter, Cheryl Green, was standing with a group of friends on Harvard Boulevard, just south of 206th Street, when two men approached them in broad daylight. Without saying a word, one suspect pulled a gun and opened fire, killing Green and wounding three others, witnesses and police said.
Ernesto Alcarez, 20, was later arrested and charged with first-degree murder and a hate crime because the Dec. 15 shooting is believed to have been racially motivated. The other suspect, Jonathan Fajardo, 18, is still at large. Both are members of the 204th Street gang, authorities say.
Such a brazen act of violence has highlighted the racial tensions that have held this working-class neighborhood in a state of fear for years, residents and city officials said.
Where are the “African American” summits and protests and loud calls for an end to the violence? As I wrote yesterday in “Selective Outrage Over Black Crime Victims,” such protesting and shouting is not profitable or satisfying. Rage against perceived slights by whites commands a lot more time and energy in the black community.
For instance, who could ever forget (or be allowed to forget) when comedian Michael Richards called a couple of black men niggers during his routine? Press conferences, and demands for money and self-flagellation were daily fare. But hispanics killing blacks, and for the dumbest shi*, barely registers on the outrage scale.
It certainly didn’t help matters that Richards groveled and prostrated himself before a sleazy and unworthy caricature of a man like Jesse Jackson. The whole lot of them are idiots, including anyone who thinks being called a nigger by a white man during a comedy routine is worse than being killed by a freaking hispanic gang thug because you wandered into his “turf.”
Ah, but the difference is that Richards has money; hispanic ignorant gang thugs don’t. As a white liberal type, Richards carries the guilt of phantom racism. Hispanic gang members couldn’t give a rat’s a** about your slave of a great-great-great-great grandfather, and neither do you. It’s all about profit and penance.
And people say I hate black people? 
Every year, taxpayers dump millions of dollars down the toilet on so-called gang violence reduction programs. Without addressing the real issues — weak family structures, low character, spiritual vacuity– it’s a waste of hard-earned money and precious time.
Forget about government programs. Get back to family values. Sorry to sound so simple for you government-is-savior-white-man-is-racist types reading this blog. Communities need to look to themselves — and in the mirror — if social pathologies like gangs are going to be fixed.
And blacks ought to come out strong against illegal “immigration.” It is not in the best interest of black Americans, especially lower income black Americans, for this nation to allow illegal aliens to pour over the border like water. Depressed wages, discrimination, overburdened social services, law enforcement that treats people unequally, disrespect for our laws and our way of life, gang violence — blacks in America should be the least likely group to “embrace” the criminal alien.
If you, black reader, are dreaming of some dumb “coalition” with our “brown brothers” to fight the “white power structure,” you’re as dim-witted as white people say you are.

Side note: Isn’t it almost pleasingly ironic that hate crime laws are backfiring on white liberals? Designed to punish the thoughts of heterosexual, traditional-minded white men, hate crime laws as applied to latino animal thugs killing black people (who cares about “hispanic hate?”) are ineffective, and they defeat the purpose of punishing “guilty” whites.

In summary, a white man calling a black man a nigger in a club garnered more attention than routine gang-murders of blacks in LA. The alleged gang-rape of a black stripper and prostitute captured the jaded minds of white liberals and their black lackeys all over the globe and caused so-called black academics to reveal how intellectually hollow and stultifying comical they really are. Yet, there will be no joint “Group of 88″ statement decrying the murders of decent black folks by latino gangs in LA.
Community “leaders,” national race-baiting, tax-exempt groups, grassroots folks, where the heck are you???
