(Editor's note: Colin Flaherty has done more reporting than any other journalist on what appears to be a nationwide trend of skyrocketing black-on-white crime, violence and abuse. WND features these reports to counterbalance the virtual blackout by the rest of the media due to their concerns that reporting such incidents would be inflammatory or even racist. WND considers it racist not to report racial abuse solely because of the skin color of the perpetrators or victims.) Videos linked or embedded may contain foul language and violence.

As pundits pondered whether calling George Zimmerman a "white a** cracker" was a racial epithet, black mob violence in other parts of the country proceeded apace last week, almost unnoticed.

In Niagara Falls, a black mob of 20 attacked a mother and her family on a picnic. They hurled racial slurs and told them they did not like their "Puerto Rican (expletive) music."

The Niagara Gazette described what happened next as a "fight," although many would call it an assault:

TRENDING: Black leaders: BLM about overthrow of U.S., not race

"Her son was punched and kicked by several people and fell to the ground. When her son picked himself up, the woman said a man from the group pulled out a pistol and pointed it in her son's face. She said someone in the group was yelling, 'Shoot him … shoot him.' "The woman said the man with the gun, later identified as Dionte D. Dolson, began working the pistol's slide as if the pistol misfired or didn't work properly. "The woman said she ran to her son as she was in fear for his life and Dolson pistol whipped her twice in the head, causing two knots to her head."

Two people were arrested.

Just a few hours earlier a few hundred miles away in Pittsburgh, a mob of black people "savagely beat" a white teenager, then stole his shoes. All on video. All the while screaming "World Star. World Star, " apparently a reference to popular hip hop website that often features videos of black-mob violence.

District Judge Jim Motznik promised the local CBS affiliate that this kind of violence was over in his town. He "guaranteed it." Which is of course the same promise other Pittsburgh authorities made when a mob of black people attacked a Pittsburgh teacher last year. That happened two times, actually, with both incidents caught on video. As well as other episodes of black mob violence involving football players at Pitt. And a good old fashioned race riot at a Pittsburgh high school. On video.

A few days before and 2,500 miles away, a black mob attacked a white woman in a busy plaza in downtown Seattle. As a dozens of people looked on, doing nothing, at least three black women repeatedly punched and kicked an unidentified woman in the face. Knocking her down, sending her to the hospital streaming blood from her forehead. While their compatriot caught the action on tape.

"It's unbelievably violent and shocking. We need to find the attackers, they need to be arrested," said a police spokeswoman to KIRO TV news.

A curiously similar incident was also captured on video last year in Seattle. A mob of black people beat a hapless bus rider waiting for her ride, this time in front of curiously detached security guards.

In Chicago, this episode of black mob violence even has some local police shaking their heads. In the upscale Lakeview neighborhood, a black mob surrounded and beat two men who had pursued and captured the men who stole their iPhones.

While they waited for police, "at one point, between 15 and 20 people surrounded one victim as the two alleged attackers continued to beat him," said the DNA Info news site. "A witness on his way home from a party stumbled upon the scene."

"He was knocked out, completely," said the 36-year-old witness. "He was on the ground, right by the alley. One guy hit him in the face, and another guy kicked him. It looked like he was going to die or something."”

Two men were charged with assault and "mob action." Black mob violence is an increasingly common feature of life in that part of town, say members of the Chicago police department. As is its denial at the highest levels of local government and media.

Back in Philadelphia on Tuesday, a mob of black people followed a man onto a bus, beat him, kicked him and stomped on, then ran off. All on video.

In Milwaukee, a local TV reporter started off her segment on a recent case of black mob violence by saying "most of the people I talked to in the neighborhood say they hadn't seen a huge fight. Recently."

It might be a bit of a secret to people outside of Milwaukee, but inside that city, locals know it as a place of frequent and intense racial violence. Many of the attacks are on video and documented in "White Girl Bleed a Lot: The return of racial violence and how the media ignore it."

By Milwaukee standards, this "massive" fight video was tame: Dozens of black people, fighting, creating chaos. No one died.

Just a few nights after that, three black women attacked a white female saxophone player at a public place in Milwaukee because they objected to her playing Minnie the Moocher.

They said because she was white, they did not want her to play it, reported the local Fox affiliate.

Meanwhile, police departments all over the country are getting ready for one of their busiest days of the year for racial violence: The Fourth of July. Last year, more than a dozen cities experienced widespread black mob violence, most after the fireworks were over.

One such place getting ready for the summer is the formerly bucolic Muskegon, Mich. Last Tuesday, according to the Michigan Live website:

"Muskegon Police officers had to use a fogger to disperse a large fight at Fifth Street and Southern Avenue around 9 p.m. on Tuesday, June 25, after a couple of males inside the high school gym had been fighting and were kicked out."

"Officers have had to break up fights around the facility every night since the program started. "Police were dispatched to the high school on a call of a fight outside the facility around 8 p.m. on Thursday, June 20. Patrol officers intervened in a potential large fight between a group outside the school, many of them from the Muskegon Heights area. "When the group left the high school area and headed back toward Muskegon Heights, patrol officers located the group armed with clubs and concrete that police believe would have been used in some sort of altercation if they hadn't intervened."

Muskegon Heights is 75 percent black and the per capita income is $11,000. Commenters to local news sites say the people involved in the mob violence are black.

For the rest of the summer, cops are putting miscreants on notice: They are using pepper spray and other mob control devices to root out the "bad apples."

In Baltimore, police are promising a “dramatic” increase in law enforcement through the Fourth of July because of a “spree of deadly violence.” Some of it connected to black-mob violence, including one incident last week involving 100 black people fighting and creating chaos.

Police called it a “community altercation," but did not mention race.

Three people were shot. According to the Baltimore Sun, which often runs editorials criticizing any public official if he or she notices the members of the mob are all black, “Police officials vowed to deploy up to three times the number of officers typically on the streets over the weekend, with the city's patrol forces being joined by officers from the Maryland State Police, the Maryland Transportation Authority and the Baltimore City Sheriff's Office.”

Black mob violence is a regular feature of life at the upscale Inner Harbor during Fourth of July celebrations over the last ten years.

Why is black mob violence rarely, if ever, reported by news media? It's simply not news

Black mob attacks are just local incidents, almost like car accidents

There's no widespread epidemic, at least not yet

It would be racist to report attacks by blacks, or any racial group for that matter

Most media agencies lean left, and don't wish to make blacks look bad

It would destroy their ideological push for diversity

There's a black man in the White House whom the media are desperate to protect

Today's news media rarely, if ever, report ANY news accurately, so this is no different

I have no idea
