Diversity Disaster: The Censored Truth About 'Fat Tuesday' Riots

By: Sam Francis

The news unfit to print for the last couple of weeks has to do with black violence against whites trying to celebrate "Fat Tuesday" in cities all over the country.

Known in French as "Mardi Gras" in New Orleans, the day from now on might be better known as Bloody rather than Fat.

In Philadelphia, police rounded up some 80 people for street violence. In Fresno, a mob stormed the city's Tower District and threw bottles at the cops, and one person was sent to the hospital with stab wounds. But it was in Seattle that Bloody Tuesday got really nasty.

"There will be no more Fat Tuesdays," Seattle Mayor Paul Schell pronounced after the city's "youth" proved itself incapable of having a good time the day before Lent without murdering someone. The someone who got murdered was a white man, 20-year-old Kris Kime, who tried to rescue a white woman from being trampled by a black mob. Mr. Kime, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reports, "was smashed over the head with a bottle, and kicked and stomped by a group of men." The police stood aside and did nothing.

The reason the police did nothing? That's exactly what they were ordered to do. Seattle police Sgt. Daniel Beste later sent a letter of apology to Mr. Kimes' mother, saying "we also were aware of the rising tide of violence long before your son was killed and continually asked, 'Why don't we stop this?' Unfortunately, my question was never answered." Sgt. Beste also enclosed the 200 dollars he received for the "amount of overtime I was paid by the taxpayers of this city to stand by while they were beaten and your son killed." The city is lucky he didn't send in his badge as well.

Everyone knows exactly what happened in Seattle and the other cities--black mobs targeted whites for mayhem and murder--but no one will say so, and neither the police nor the media want to admit it. "We've got suspects who are males and females, blacks, whites, Asians--even one East Indian," beams another police sergeant who seems to be a bit thicker than Sgt. Beste. "I don't know what motivated these people, but basically the common denominator is 'young and intoxicated.'"

Nor will the city's black "leadership" acknowledge any responsibility. "We are concerned by how the violence is being portrayed," James Kelly, president of the local Urban League intoned at a news conference a few days after the bloodshed. "Our fear is that it's become a race issue." Gosh, why would anyone ever think it might be a "race issue," do you think?

But of course it's not a race issue, if only because the perceptions projected by the media, in so far as the violence was reported at all, depict it the way the police, the city officials and the black "leadership" want it depicted. Everyone's at fault, you see; everything's OK; just 'young and intoxicated'; there's no racial problem. "Clearly hatred has no place in our community," the mayor's spokesman told the press.

He'd better look again. Photos and videos of the violence clearly show blacks attacking, beating and kicking white victims. One local talk show host told The Washington Post, which carried a news story only two weeks after the violence, "I started getting calls from people saying, 'The newspapers are sweeping this under the rug. It clearly was black on white, nobody wants to report it; what are they afraid of?'" What they're afraid of is the hard truth that racial hatred does in fact have a rather important place in the community, and that the hatred isn't found where racial hatred is supposed to be--among whites. In the war against "racism," in the endless crusade for "racial reconciliation," it's always whites who are supposed to repent, confess, apologize, recant, and eventually pay up or get punished or undergo therapy. Whites are supposed to be the haters. Blacks are supposed to be the victims. Obviously, not all blacks were violent or driven by hatred in Seattle or anywhere else, and obviously there no doubt were violent lawbreakers of all races and backgrounds. But the burden of the evidence is that the violence and presumably the racial hatred that lay at the core of the violence began with blacks.

"The bottom line is that violence has no color," purrs Mr. Kelly, in a desperate effort to keep the lid on the Big Lie of a white monopoly on racial hate. In Seattle, as in Fresno and Philadelphia, violence certainly did have a color, and the color wasn't white. Whether the newspapers print it or not, everyone in America knows that truth--except the power holders who insist on denying it to themselves and lying to everyone else.

This article infuriated me. Poor mother of the poor guy who was bashed and beaten. Yet no one will talk about it because god forbid, they'd have to face the wrath of someone claiming they're racist. I dare anyone to call me a racist. BASTIDS!!!!! A lady get's mauled by a dog (which is aweful!) and I'm still reading about it, but a white guy get's beaten by a black mob and it's not news.

--black mobs targeted whites for mayhem and murder--but no one will say so, and neither the police nor the media want to admit it.

KVI the local conservative talk station was called "hate radio" by the Chief of Police, for suggesting a racial motivation could possibly be involved.

If a white mob beat and killed a black man, for attempting to rescue a black woman, who had a bottle broken over her head by a white man; the press would still be screaming for blood. Yet, the exact opposite happened, and the inept, incompetent police chief and mayor insist that this was not a racially based set of attempts.

When one steps back and realizes that 75% of the hospitalized participants in Fat Tuesday were whites, attacked by blacks, then when you factor in that Blacks account for less than 15% of the Seattle population, it looks like some blacks used the stupidity of the city's Mayor and Police Chief to kill whitey. Simple, cowardly and convenient.

Yeah right. Sam Francis has identified the problem with our society. According to him, it is the "black" man. Or the "brown" man. Or the "Jew." Or any person of a race or religion different from his own. I'd love to hear what his final solution to the race "problem" is. Not!

6 Posted on 03/22/2001 13:53:43 PST by Jim Robinson

I do not understand this. I live in New Orleans; it's about 60% or 70% black in the city, and I live two blocks away from predominately black neighborhoods. Generally, blacks and whites get along. We sure as heck aren't beating the living daylights out of each other during Mardi Gras.

I'm afraid things will only get worse before they get better. Prepare now.

I haven't read enough of Francis' writing to assess whether he is, as you suggest, a racist, but this column seems to accurately reflect what other sources are saying about the Seattle riots -- that the violence was predominantly by black against whites, and that this fact was actively suppressed by the establishment media.

You don't have to believe that such actions are characteristic of all blacks to note the censorship and disinformation here...

16 Posted on 03/22/2001 14:02:49 PST by Interesting Times

Sam Francis can be reliably expected to jump in on any such issue with that sort of spin--he will not describe it as a failure to educate and civilize a largish chunk of our population, one that is disproportionately, but not completely, black, but instead as a black/white issue.

And that, IMNHO, makes him a racist.

Maybe Horowitz will talk about it. No one else seems to have the brass to do so.

"I don't know what motivated these people, but basically the common denominator is 'young and intoxicated.'"

Time to sue the alcoholic drink brewers, sellers and distributors. And then we must ban the questionable subtances of intoxication altogether, right? At the very least, the war on drugs must be expanded to include these obviously dangerous substances. Use a beer, go to jail.

a failure to educate and civilize a largish chunk of our population

Please elaborate. I don't understand. How have "we" failed to educate? Also, saying that we have failed to "civilize" makes me cringe, as well.

You must not be doing it right.

OK, so you're going to hyperventilate over technicalities of language and ignore the main point. Never mind.

Poohbah, I cringe too, but for a different reason. But I understood you perfectly. Maybe you should try again using smaller words?

"There will be no more Fat Tuesdays," Seattle Mayor Paul Schell pronounced ....

What a coward. Reminds me of an incident that happened in the latter years of the Vietnam War when discipline was starting to break down and racial problems were increasing. I believe it was in Tuy Hoa and it took place in a movie theatre on a US base. Black GI's refused to stand for the National Anthem played prior to the movie. Instead, they stayed in their seats and showed the black power salute. The solution: You guessed it - - they quit playing the National Anthem.

Face it, blacks cannot seem to get along with anyone, whether it be white Mardi Gras celebrants, Asian storekeepers, or each other.

Not to talk about Sam Francis' views (I don't know them). But I live in Seattle and much of the 'action' on Fat Tuesday was broadcast on TV (Northwest Cablenews had a running broadcast). Again and again, you'd see a bunch of guys partying and milling around with drinks in their hands, and then there would be some jostling and the camera would swing around to locate the source. Then you'd see some black guys shoving or punching some whites -- men or women. Ocassionally you'd see some whites pushing back, but it was difficult to tell if they were starting it or reacting to something that occurred before the camera got there.

Last summer a gang of blacks roved around downtown at night, beating and kicking single whites they came across. One happened right in the front of the Downtown Seattle Library (near the middle of the city). Then there were the warnings before the final night: the unrest on the nights leading up to it.

The Mayor is clearly an incompetant. It was by his order that the cops showed up in riot gear a few nights prior and, of course, that set off the crowd. That is why on Fat Tuesday they simply stood off in the distance, all grouped together (I don't recall if they were in riot gear or not) and the Mayor had a few hundred more cops in a nearby staging area unseen by the crowd.

The Police have become an entity increasingly seperate from the rest of the city. Instead of strolling through the crowd from the get-go and making sure things stayed more or less undercontrol, they stayed grouped together. The 'us and them' mentality is repeatedly reinforced by this on *both* sides: the citizenry *and* the Police Officers. This has led to increased brutality, mayhem, and general animosity on both sides. The Chief and the Mayor needs to reintegrate the Police with the rest of the city if they want to avoid this happening again...because it *will* happen again otherwise.

I am saddened to see this happen to my city (I'm a native). The black hoodlums (who certainly don't represent even a large minority of blacks. let alone a majority of them) took advantage of them.> They looked like they were gangstas or street people (or both), while the whites looked like young working folks trying to unwind.

My prediction is that this will happen again unless the City takes steps to prevent it: steps such as bringing the police force back into the community and having them be *in* the crowd from the beginning and trained to take care of problems smoothly before they escalate into stand-offs or mayhem.

This event was no more an issue of race than that of street gangs being an issue of race.

Wait a second....

A 17 year old black punk has finally been arrested for this murder. The police reacted to a call for help at a local residence a couple of days ago and immediately recognized the youth as one they were looking for. He is being held and will be tried as an adult. I think maybe a couple more have also been arrested. Police have also arrested a black 18 year old for the murder of the Des Moines police office a couple of weeks ago. They found two more of the other three who were with him and are still looking for a 20 year old black who has not been located. However his photo was on the news this a.m. and they know who they are looking for.

Simple, cowardly and convenient.

not to pick on you specifically hodar, because i agree this was a racial motivated attack. but your statistics don't help.

if the black population is (at most) 15 percent then the non black percentage is 85 percent. you don't give the percentage for non-whites (asian, latino, whatever) so let's just say it's 10. (i don't have seattle demographics handy)

so in a completely random accident of 100 people, you would expect the hospital to treat 75 whites, 15 blacks, and 10 other.

Thanks for posting this. The truth needs to be told.

That being said, I wouldn't bet on this thread being around for long.

I'm past feeling sorry for these people any more. IMHO,they DESERVE to get beat as long as they are so cowardly they will stand around and watch small groups of blacks beat other whites and not raise a hand to stop it. When the whites start fighting back and the hospitals and morgues start filling up with black "youths",this nonsense will stop. It will continue as long as you give them a free ride.

Please don't misunderstand me,here. I DO have sympathy for the poor kid that got beaten to death,but wouldn't bother to call a ambulance for any of the white people who stood around and let it happen.

Thanks for the full bumpy.

I'll check back later to see if this gets pulled.

That's great, but I believe there was a gang of black involved in it, not just a single one. I hope that they get *all* of those who took part in that murder.

Things are getting dicey here in the Seattle area.

But he said 75% were whites attacked by blacks. Based on your 75-15-10 racial mix, a random racial mix of attackers and victims would have 11% who were whites attacked by blacks. .75 x .15 = 11.25%

I don't agree with it being swept under the carpet as though, in fear of white rage, we may find black's hanging from street lamps again.

Most people of different races get along very well. I love the little Vietnamese family that own's the neighborhood convience store, he's waving at me before I get my car turned off, we laugh and nod at each other, even though I don't understand but every other word.

I love the black kid at Sonic that comes smiling through the door insisting that I am his customer, he laughs and is very kind to the car full of neighborhood kids I take there. I hope my own kid grows up to be as kind and as cool as this kid is.

I don't think a white riot would ensue if the problem of some blacks racism towards whites comes to national attention.

It was the attention given to white racism that pretty much ended it, and the same attention given to black racism against whites will aid to end that also.

I willing to bet most of the attacks were gang member related, we don't have this problem all over the nation, just pockets of it. New Orleans doesn't seem to have it, and that city has a much larger black population.

Anyone would have to be blind to see that there is not some racial issue of black against white that needs to be lanced, cleansed and healed. Maybe they may even begin to vote Republican.

That would be a question for the big man. Any answers, Mr. Robinson?
