Walter Russell Mead discussed the Black "flash mobs" and the potential for a spark to set off a conflagration that will sweep the Great Society into the dustbin of history.

Despite the efforts of the MSM to disguise the makeup of these mobs, Gerard Van Der Leun comments: 

"Thanks to decades of dishonest reporting and editing, of softening the edges so as to not bring offense or unduly exacerbate a situation, the media has trained the public to understand “the code.” That code is that “If a story that is likely to reflect badly on Blacks has no ethnic element identified, the ethnic element involved were Blacks.”


It’s a kind of ‘absence of evidence *is* evidence’ phenomenon."
