White Girl Bleed a Lot (44 page)

Lillian Nichols, the mother of one of the group’s members, said her son is the real victim of racial violence. “This is a big misunderstanding,” Nichols told the
Chicago Sun-Times
after the four appeared in court. “It was just like a brawl but they were the only ones arrested.”

Three of the victims suffered injuries, including one broken jaw. A police officer hurt his knee fighting with one of the suspects.

This was just one of more than fifty racial attacks in Chicago over the last two years. Despite the epidemic of racial violence, none of the media outlets identified the attackers by race. One station did post mug shots of the four men taken into custody.

Some black mobs are lethal. Some are larcenous. But no one has ever seen one funnier than what the local media is calling “the brawl” at the Carolina Awards Ball. The fight broke out after the prizes were announced at the black gay beauty pageant. There were almost a dozen categories, and apparently at least one of the contestants was unhappy with the results and went on a rampage.

Radio personality Al Walsh accurately called it the “Chair War at a Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Party!!!” A four-minute video of the incident went viral on the Internet. The highlight of the video was when the unhappy contestant, a—uh—extra-large “woman” threw a chair. Then according to Walsh (s)he

picks up the whole table, chucks it across the room, and then begins her rise to stardom. She blocks one chair with her pocket book, catches another chair one-handed, and then remarkably dodges a third chair with relative ease. The opposition clad in white shirts/red sleeves is noticeably impressed.
¹⁵

Of course there was a man with a hatchet, a Taser, flying bottles, threats, bluster, and black men prancing around in women’s clothing.

This is not the first time this event has experienced trouble. In 2011 a fight broke out when the ball was held at the local Doubletree Inn and someone set a fire as well.

Charlotte police are investigating.

America’s newest Internet sensation has it all: the gear, the fans, the schtick. It even has a catch phrase: “Do what you are supposed to do, or get what’s coming to you,” Darien Long told WSB-TV. Long’s fame came from a series of viral videos that show him confronting—and Tasering—angry black mobs while serving as a mall cop at an Atlanta-area mall. Darien Long may have lost his job, but he offers an abject lesson in the rewards—and risks—of confronting black mob lawlessness.

In January 2013 Long said something to four children hanging out at the mall. One of the kid’s mother and the crowd would have none of it. They threaten, cuss, assault, spit, challenge, and call Long every racial and sexual epithet imaginable.

He kept his cool.

After the woman and her friends ignored Long’s repeated calls for them to leave the mall, he shot her with a Taser, taking some of the fight out of her and the rest of the crowd too.

David Spates is an Atlanta actor and writer who has a popular YouTube channel at david-spates.com where he provides commentary about everyday life among black people. Some videos are real. Some are comedy sketches. In an uncharacteristically serious moment, David Spates gives a lecture to the black community on how not to act:

That’s the problem with a lot of us. Our kids run around doing all kinds of shit they not supposed to be doing, and when somebody else besides us tells them to correct the behavior, instead of us appreciating it and coming together as a people, we attack the people that trying to talk some common sense into our kids.

Keeping it real with ya: A lot of us don’t even know how to raise kids. … If you truly love your kids, would you have them around something like that? …

I count four kids … that are watching and learning this behavior….

A lot of you who act like this, you think you have it together. You think you’re tough, nobody can tell you what to do, you’re smart. But let me ask most of you this: When you watch the way this lady’s acting, do you think she’s a smart woman? …

All ignorance does is breed problems.

For real, black people, we gotta stop this shit.

Other merchants in the neighborhood, just a block from the state capital on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, said this kind of violence happens every day. The woman was charged with criminal trespass, battery, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

One month later the crowd was bigger, but the outcome was the same.

The good guy prevailed—again.

When Long confronted a man who refused to leave the mall, the man jostled Long but was then hurled twenty feet in the opposite direction. “It’s on now,” said the loiterer to his friends. But after taking one step forward, he looked back and realized no one was stepping up to help him.

That was the end of that.
¹⁹

The next day, when Long saw the same man and his friends hanging out, he ordered them to leave. They did not want to. It escalated into name calling, threats, pushing—the usual.

Long took out his Taser and put the tough guy on the ground. He flopped around as Long’s Taser poured amp after amp into him.

“If they was smart everybody in that hood would boycott the building so that mall loses money and dude loses his job,” said JJ da gawd at worldstarhiphip.com.

Another poster at the popular hip hop video site encouraged people in Atlanta to kill Long:

“WHY IS THIS HOUSE NGGER STILL ALIVE??? HOW HARD IS IT TO PUT A SKULLY ON, WRAP A BANDANA OVER YOUR FACE AND SHOOT THE SHIT OUTTA THIS CLOWN?”
²¹

Although there were a lot of people on the site cheering for the mob, several praised Long and his efforts to clean up the dilapidated neighborhood.

“My favorite show of all times is back,” said Lion James.

Van White backed him up too: “Word to all thugs, ain’t none of us older cats scared of you, we just to damn old to put up with your shit, but we will get in your ass if we have to!!!!!!!!”

Despite the violence and threats, in the end, Long was still standing.

Not all stories involving heroes have perfect happy endings. Or maybe the story is not done yet.

One of the thugs in the video sued Long, only he doesn’t look or act like a thug anymore. Now that he is all lawyered up, Marcus Purnell, the hoodie-wearing punk who refused to leave and threatened, taunted, and assaulted Long, had put away his gangster gear and demeanor and was looking like a demure Georgia State college student who would never hurt anyone.

Long never even lasted to what was supposed to be his final day. A week before the end of March, he got into a tussle with a mall visitor. Police were called. Two hours later, police perp-walked Long out of the mall and into the back of a police car.

He is awaiting trial.

The black mobs terrorizing the Metro Mall in downtown Atlanta have never been happier.

Cops are pigs. Occupiers. Willing members of the prison-industrial complex who send black people to prison for no other reason except racism.

That is what you have to believe to make sense of two 2013 cases of black mob violence and lawlessness directed at police: One in New York. One in Chicago.

In Brooklyn, Stephen Stowe and eight other black people became upset when a Jewish man ignored their traditional Muslim greeting
Assalamu Alaikum
, which means, “Peace be with you.”

According to the
New York Daily News
Stowe allegedly became combative.
²⁴

“You think you’re better than me?” the teen allegedly said. “We are cousins.”

“No we’re not,” The man shot back, and told Stowe to leave him alone, the
Daily News
reported.

The suspect then started hurling ethnic slurs and called the man disrespectful. Apparently the penalty for disrespecting a black mob in a New York subway is the threat of death and the theft of a phone. “They should have killed all of you,” Stowe told his potential victim. Then they tried to steal his phone.

The
New York Daily News
and WND both report that black mob violence against Jews is getting increasingly common in the Jewish neighborhoods of Brooklyn—with dozens of incidents the last two years.

But this incident of black mob violence was just getting started.

When the subway pulled into the next station, police were waiting to take Stowe into custody. But the crowd of more than fifty black people would have no part of it.

They surrounded the police, crowding them as they tried to subdue Stowe in the subway car. They ignored police orders to move back, taunting them instead. While Stowe was on the ground struggling with one of the officers, the mob, rather than assisting the officer, tried to stop the arrest. It was chaos. Of the more than fifty black people surrounding the police, “not one piece of shit would help the police in this video. Not one,” Remarked an officer in an e-mail.

As police wrestled with Stowe, Sheniqua Joseph was particularly vocal in urging the cops to release Stowe, and urging other members of the mob to assist her in stopping the arrest.

Four minutes into the video she was also arrested. She also resisted. “Why y’all doing this?” she shouted as cops wrestled her to the ground.

It’s what they do, Sheniqua.

December 2012 in Chicago, Jamaal Moore and four other black people were suspected of a truck hijacking on the city’s south side.
