"If Lori Kaplan depended only on her employers at NPR for news, she was probably surprised at the black mob violence that almost killed her white husband."

Colin Flaherty  . . . "Kaplan is the Senior Director of Audience Research at NPR in downtown Washington, D.C. That is where she regularly meets her husband at the end of his evening commute on the Metro Red Line.

"That is what she was recently doing when she received a text message from him: An “idiot gang” was acting belligerently in his train car, so he was going to move.

"That was the last she heard from him until he got off the train: bloody, beaten, and dazed. With a broken jaw and missing teeth.

"The Washington Post writer who covers commuting -- not crime -- picked up the story: " . . .

. . . "The attackers of Kaplan’s husband were black -- as are virtually all of the violent predators on the Washington Metro. A fact the Post and NPR keep trying to ignore and wish away, even as they devote more and more space to Black Lives Matter and the omnipresence of white racism.

"The reporter was upholding a longstanding tradition at the Post -- which at NPR is an ironclad rule -- not to report on the epidemic of black on white crime and black mob violence in Washington or anywhere else.

"Or only to dismiss it as some kind of right wing talking point, if somehow race does sneak into the coverage.

"At NPR they take this exclusion to the extreme: Virtually every story on race -- and there are many -- is told from the perspective of relentless black victimization at the hands of perpetual white racism." . . .

If African Americans are taking to the streets, what does that say about half a century of liberal race politics?
. . . "Get a clue, liberals. We are in the current mess because of you. Let me count the ways." . . .
