"The rare white-on-black attack is always 'front page" and featured coverage
by most news media while the daily black-on-white attacks are 'disappeared':
Either not reported on at all, reported only by local newspapers, but
'whited out' of local TV and national newspaper coverage, or reported
without informing viewers of the respective races of the attackers and
victim..."-- Nicholas Stix

For two weeks, no pix of either the boy or his mother were posted anywhere.
S'matter, MSM, afraid of accusations of "political incorrectness"?

Boy thrown from Mall of America balcony ‘alert and conscious’: family

By Kenneth Garger
April 26, 2019

The 5-year-old boy who was thrown off a third-floor balcony at the Mall of
America two weeks ago is on the mend.

The boy is now “alert and conscious” and out of critical condition, his
family said in a statement released Friday.

“We are now turning our focus to additional surgeries, healing,
rehabilitation and eventually a return home, which we hope will happen by
June,” read part of the statement.

The child had been in critical condition since the brutal April 12 attack.

During an Easter church service, a family pastor had said the child showed
“zero evidence of brain damage,” a claim the family’s lawyer, Stephen
Tillitt, wouldn’t confirm.

Cops busted Emmanuel Deshawn Aranda, 24, for the disturbing incident, who
admitted to cops that he intended to kill an adult at the Minnesota mall,
but returned a day later and targeted the boy.

Aranda is facing charges of attempted premeditated first-degree murder. He’s
being held on $2 million bail at the Hennepin County jail and is due back in
court on May 14.

In Friday’s statement, the family also thanked the thousands of people who
donated to the GoFundMe page dedicated to their son’s recovery.

As of late Friday, over 28,000 donations amounting to more than $1 million
had been raised.

Most hate crime is unreported (both to police and by most news media).
What implicit bias there is in criminal news reporting tends to be against
BME.

Yes. It's a white supremacist hate website ("Visualize a Negro-free
Zone").
The only time integration happens is when it's FORCED.

I doubt if things have improved in the last nineteen years: "Milgram
struggled to maintain the racial balance, offering special under-the-table
incentives for white families and setting up a separate real estate company
to seek out white families at political clubs and Quaker meetings..." In
other words, they had to PAY White folks to move into this "mixed"
experimental neighborhood, and it still didn't work...

Pioneering Integrationist Moves Out

ASSOCIATED PRESS

BENSALEM, Pa. (AP) -- The last of the pioneering white families who settled
in the Concord Park neighborhood nearly a half-century ago has moved out,
dramatizing the end of an idealistic experiment in integration.

Warren and Betsy Swartzbeck left the now nearly all-black neighborhood last
month, moving to a retirement community.

"It's been a sweet sorrow, moving out," said Warren Swartzbeck, 73.

He said he and his wife had bought their modest home in Concord Park in 1954
to help realize a vision of a fairer America.

"It was our dream at that time, our little effort to heal the nation," he
said.

The 139-home development in suburban Philadelphia was built by Morris
Milgram, a white civil rights activist intent on creating an integrated
neighborhood that, he hoped, would be 55 percent white and 45 percent black.
At the time, blacks were barred from every other new suburban development in
the region.

For a time, Milgram's racial mix was achieved. Old-timers recalled that
white children played with black children and their parents socialized as
equals, taking part in gourmet clubs and discussion groups, shopping
together and even protesting lunch-counter segregation together.

But over the years, fewer and fewer whites bought into Concord Park as more
and more blacks eventually arrived.

"It was hard for whites to convince themselves to live here, when they could
go anywhere," said Swartzbeck, who was Milgram's assistant for eight years.
"Black demand was intense. They had nowhere else to go."

Milgram struggled to maintain the racial balance, offering special
under-the-table incentives for white families and setting up a separate real
estate company to seek out white families at political clubs and Quaker
meetings, Swartzbeck said.

By the time Congress passed the Fair Housing Act in 1968, Concord Park was
predominantly black. The neighborhood is now about 95 percent black.

Joyce Hadley, a 52-year-old black woman who grew up in Concord Park with the
Swartzbecks' children, said the couple would be sorely missed.

"There was a lot of ostracism he incurred by being one of the only white
families here," she said. "We are very saddened."
