Across the country, in cities like New York and St. Louis, young African-American males have been targeting Jews and whites in a dangerously violent "knockout game" where unsuspecting pedestrians are suddenly beaten by a gang of passersby, resulting in severe concussions and, in some cases, death.

Amateur videos of the game -- also called "Polar Bear Hunting" and "Knock the Jew" for its selective targeting of white and Jewish ethnicities -- have largely been filmed and posted online by the perpetrators themselves, typically accompanied with gangs of youths laughing jovially as their helpless victim collapse on the concrete. One youth can even be heard uttering, "White girl bleed a lot!"

In an article for the New York Post Tuesday, author Thomas Sowell stated these attacks are "nothing new" and have been ongoing for quite some time in various inner cities. According to Sowell, the public has remained fairly ignorant to these incidents because most media outlets have been reporting them as "isolated attacks" without racial descriptors:

Sometimes the attacks are reported, but only as isolated attacks by unspecified 'teens' or 'young people' against unspecified victims, without any reference to the racial makeup of the attackers or the victims — and with no mention of racial epithets by the young hoodlums exulting in their own 'achievement.'

Sowell cites sheer "political correctness" or fear of "inciting a race war" as the chief motivations for the media's failure to report the facts.
