MESSAGE FROM THE AUTHOR
Throughout this book, you are going to see some odd little
symbols that look like they came from a Mayan temple.
These are the most important part of the book!
These symbols will take you to the videos that made this
book possible! Because without videos, no one would believe
that racial violence is as bad as it is.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
NOTES
INTRODUCTION
THERE’S A RIOT GOING ON
Racial violence is exploding across the country. Cops deny it.
Newspapers do too. Thank God for YouTube.
Racial violence is back.
In hundreds of episodes across the country since 2010, groups of black people
are roaming the streets of America intimidating, stalking, vandalizing, stealing,
shooting, stabbing, raping, and killing. But the local media and public officials
are largely silent about the problem. Crime is color blind, says a Milwaukee
police chief.1 Race is not important, a Chicago newspaper editor assures us. That
denies the obvious: America is the most race conscious society in the world. We
learn that fact every day from black caucuses, black unions, black ministers,
black teachers, black music, black art, black poets, black salon owners, black
public employees, black names, black police officers, and black media. We learn
it in stories written by members of the National Association of Black Journalists.
We talk about everything black except black mob violence and lawlessness.
That is taboo. And the result is that few know about it. Fewer still are talking
about it. Today it is at epidemic levels in almost every city in the country. More
than ninety cities have been under attack. Some cities have suffered dozens of
attacks in the last two years alone. The list of cities under attack is long and
getting longer: Atlantic City
Birmingham
Charlotte
Chicago
Denver
Georgetown
Greensboro
Kansas City
Las Vegas
Los Angeles
