And from one of the oddest sources, the Washington Times, as DC is predominantly black:
Race-based hate crimes spike in D.C.; whites most common victims, but underreporting feared
by Andrea Noble
Race-based hate crimes jumped in Washington, D.C., last year even as most other types of bias crimes decreased, with analysts saying such incidents could be vastly underreported among minority groups uncomfortable coming forward to authorities.
D.C. police say that of the 18 race-based hate crimes in 2013, the majority of victims were white and the majority of suspects black. The number of incidents was up from the 13 race-based bias crimes reported in 2012.
Hold the presses. Is the Washington Times certain it really wants to go there, considering the temper of the Leftist times?
This is an amazingly frank statement — albeit true — for media to admit, much less a DC outlet
Census data in 2013 put the District’s black population at just under 50 percent, with whites making up 35 percent of the population and Hispanics another 10 percent.
Of the 18 victims of race-motivated hate crimes last year, 10 were white, four were black, two Hispanic, one Asian and one of another race, according to D.C. police.
Finally, at least one American media outlet reporting the obvious — which is what I’ve been emphasizing for years: racists come in all colors.
And frequently they are black.
An interesting video from Bill Whittle coming shortly.

P.S.
It’s racially insensitive to speak the truth these days. Citing facts and data that point toward blacks being racists is racist. Just ask Je$$e or $harpton, they’ll tell you!
Sarcasm aside, this is a disturbing trend and, not surprisingly, the most of the dirtbags in the MSM probably won’t touch it. I’m pleasantly surprised to see a leftist fishwrap covering this topic. I would have enjoyed being a fly on the wall at the editorial meeting where this was discussed.
Lewis Burwell, thank you for visiting and thank you for taking the time to comment. It is allegedly “insensitive” to speak the truth but, here, I couldn’t care less about sensitivity.
Little by little, perhaps some persons are starting to be cognizant of the earth around them.

I always thought it was the Washington Post that was left wing, not the Wash Times. Have I been wrong all this time or has something changed? In any case, it is high time these facts get the attention they deserve.
If years ago the white community had practiced zero tolerance of ‘anti social’ behavior, perhaps we would not be in this situation. I wonder how these statistics match up with the ‘old days’, ie., segregation. Is there demonstrably more criminality in the black community nowadays? It certainly feels like it.
It is the white community that brought about the dissolution of the once-nuclear black family, by PAYING people to have children out of wedlock and by encouraging women to NOT have men in their lives. Specifically: Demorats. GOWPs, all of them: Guilty Overeducated White People.
And more black crime? Perhaps. When I was in the Robbery Bureau in 1994 I collected the stats for robberies in Sacramento County. Overwhelmingly the suspects were black. I was “discouraged” from making these statistics known.

Racism wil always be here. A lot of blacks use it as an excuse to do nothing with their lives and I wish Obama had done the same.
Interesting slant.

Lewis is right, and I’d estimate probably 75% of the actual hate crimes in DC go unreported… People just don’t want to deal with the DC police…
