I came upon the issue of the "knock out game" and the book and web page of
http://whitegirlbleedalot.com/ and the companion link,
http://whitegirlbleedalot.com/top-10...olence-videos/ recently.
This isn't exactly new but it has taken a more modern twist with the advent of the Web and social media.
I grew up with this sort of violence being a poor whiteboy raised in a predominantly black area of Detroit during the 60's. Many a time I would walk home from Burroughs Junior high the two miles alone evading groups of "school mates" or worse the drop outs who would rob you of quarters at knife point.
It was one of the major reasons that when my first was born in 75' I made it priority to leave Detroit for the simple reason I did not want my kids to go through what I had to endure.
Roving gangs of black kids up to no good was a fact of life for me all the way through my time at Kettering High School. You had to learn survival skills.
When I finally had my drivers license there came a "new" game. Too many times I encountered those same groups of young black kids that wouldn't get out of the middle of the street and dared you to hit them.
I can't say if there was gangs of roving white kids that would do the same just because of the fact I didn't grow up in an area that was white. So you are getting my experience only growing up and [[leaving), ummm, living in the big D.
So my take on this "new" game? Nothing new but now you can document it and brag about it then take top honors by getting the most views on you tube.
