HATE CRIME ACTION PLAN 2002
STRATEGY
We should use all means to make the white public aware when a hate attack against a white person has occurred. Also bring to their notice, as applicable, media disinterest and selective enforcement of hate laws by law enforcement agencies through a campaign consisting of the following tactics:
PUBLIC AWARENESS - Concentrated letter writing by EURO members to local media and calling radio talk shows to raise public awareness that a hate crime has occurred.
MONITORING POLICE RESPONSE TO A HATE ATTACK - If police hesitate or refuse to charge the non-white attacker with a hate crime, then members should contact local media, call talk shows, and complain to police officials.
CONTACT LOCAL POLITICIANS - Local politicians should be made aware of the situation and our people should demand a investigation into why police are selectively enforcing hate laws.
EXPOSE DISINTERESTED WHITE POLITICIANS - In the case of a politician who ignores these concerns or denies that such a situation exists, members should complain directly via phone, fax, and letters, and, if necessary, picket his local office. Again, use the media to make people aware that said politician is refusing to serve his white constituents.
ALERT EURO HQ OF LOCAL HATE CRIMES - We will then inform our members around the country to direct letters and emails to the local and national media demanding that these crimes be given the same media treatment as when the perpetrator is white and victim is black.
TALKING POINTS (Some things that should be mentioned when writing letters or discussing this issue.)
MEDIA SILENCE - National and local media have remained silent on the subject of racially motivated crimes against Whites. Cases that involved White victims are localized by a national media that ignores crimes against Whites.
MEDIA RELIES ON BIASED SOURCES FOR INFORMATION - The media routinely rely on biased sources, such as the Simon Weisenthal Center, Jewish Anti-Defamation League (ADL), and the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), when writing on the subject of hate crimes. These organizations have an obvious vested interest in distorting hate crimes to make it appear that whites are disproportionately represented among the perpetrators and rarely the victims. Such groups rely on such distortions as scare tactics to shake contributions from minority and white liberal supporters.
BLACK LEADERS SILENT - Black leaders are conspicuously silent on the issue of black-on-white crime and black-on-white hate crimes in particular.
WHITE HATE CRIME STATISTICS ARE INFLATED - In government statistics Hispanics are listed as victims of hate crimes, but there is no category for Hispanic perpetrators of hate crimes. When Hispanics are perpetrators of hate crimes they are included in the white category, thus falsely increasing hate crimes attributed to whites. For example, if a Hispanic racially attacks a black, it's counted as a white hate crime. Likewise, if a Hispanic sends a death threat to a Jew or Asian, it's also considered a white hate crime. However, if a white person attacks a Hispanic, this too is considered a hate crime by a white.
BLACKS ARE ONE AND A HALF TIMES MORE LIKELY THAN WHITES TO COMMIT HATE CRIMES - According to the FBI's "Hate Crime Statistics" report for 1999, which is part of the agency's annual Uniform Crime Report, blacks are proportionally one-and-a-half times more likely to be arrested for hate crimes against whites than vice versa. Law enforcement agencies nationwide reported that 2,030 whites were arrested for hate crimes against blacks, while 524 blacks were arrested for such crimes against whites. Adjusting for the fact that blacks make up only 13% of the population, blacks were statistically one-and-a-half times more likely than whites to be charged with hate crimes. We firmly believe that blacks actually commit many more hate crimes against whites, but this is obscured due to police reluctance in charging blacks with hate crimes.
ANNUALLY BLACKS COMMIT ONE AND A HALF MILLION VIOLENT CRIMES AGAINST WHITES - The Justice Department's annual National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) canvasses a representative sample of about 80,000 Americans, from roughly 43,000 households. From this survey, its victims paint a picture of crime. The last full report of the NCVS was issued in 1994. From it we learn that blacks committed 1,600,951 violent crimes against whites. In the same year, whites committed 165,345 such offenses against blacks. Despite being only 13 percent of the population, blacks committed more than 90 percent of the violent interracial crime. Less than 15 percent of these had robbery as a motive. The rest were assaults and rapes. In other words, an economic motive was evidenced in only 15% of interracial crimes.
MORE THAN HALF THE VIOLENCE COMMITTED BY BLACKS IS AGAINST WHITES - The asymmetry of interracial crime goes still deeper. More than half the violence committed by blacks is directed against whites, 57 percent in 1994. Less than 3 percent of the violence committed by whites is directed against blacks.
BLACKS ARE 64 TIMES MORE LIKELY TO ATTACK A WHITE THAN VICE VERSA - Population and NCVS statistics reveal that in 1994 a black was 64 times more likely to attack a white than vice versa! In the city, the races live mostly apart from one another, so that the most convenient victims of thugs are others of the same race. Only a hunter's mentality could account for the data. Also we strongly suspect that only selective enforcement can explain that out of a million and a half crimes committed by blacks against whites, the police only charge the black perpetrators with a hate crime in approximately five hundred cases or a mere 0.03 percent
EXAMPLES OF POLICE RELUCTANCE TO CHARGE BLACKS WITH HATE CRIMES - here are some examples you can use when discussing this issue:
Black Mob Lynches White Man
http://www.frontpagemag.com/columnists/perazzo/jp08-30-01.htm and Post and Courier
In October 1999, a white man named Troy Knapp was attacked by a mob of black men wielding pipes and trash cans, while riding his bike with a companion in Charleston, SC. Knapp was beaten so severely that part of his skull and brain had to be removed, leaving him barely functional.
Witnesses told Knapp's family that after white police officers arrested a black suspect in connection with the shootings, someone in a group of people was heard saying: "Yeah, we are going to get us a white boy." Seventeen suspects were arrested and charged with second-degree lynching. However, local prosecutor David Schwacke commented, "We haven't been able to establish hate as a motive."
According to a Fox News report, Schwacke, "acknowledged that if it had been 17 white suspects and two black victims, hate would more likely be considered a motive." The report went on to note that, "Federal hate-crime law could apply in this case, but seven months after the incident the U.S. attorney's office in South Carolina is not even considering charges."
Blacks Mob Beats White Man
Upset about a racial name-calling that occurred earlier that night in Milwaukee, Wisconsin., several black men savagely beat a random white man who had had nothing to do with the incident. He slipped away from his attackers, but they forced him to swim into a lake to escape. He drowned. The three men were sentenced to less than a year in jail. - Op cit., Perazzo, p. 61, referencing: unattributed (1992). "3 blacks sentenced in '90 racial attack." Chicago Tribune, May 20.
Black Man Rapes White Woman, Uses Racial Slurs
The frightening 1:45 a.m. attack occurred at 53rd Street and Sixth Avenue, in the heart of Midtown (NYC), where many media outlets have offices -- and just steps away from busy Rockefeller Center, Radio City Music Hall and The Hilton hotel. There a white woman was assaulted, raped, and anally raped by a black man who called her racist names during the attack. According to one police source, the rapist threatened to kill the woman if she didn't cooperate. Police refused to label it a hate crime. - Weiss, Murray, et al. (1999). "Cops fume over lousy video of 6th Ave. rapist." New York Post, Dec. 22.
Blacks Attack Whites in Seattle Mardi Gras
Seattle Times Article
Seattle P-I Article
February 2001 - During Fat Tuesday celebrations in Seattle in 2001 roving gangs of blacks attacked whites, beating and sexually assaulting women, attacking men, and killing one man who attempted to protect a white woman from an attack. Despite the fact that many of the attacks were recorded on video tape, police refused to charge the rampaging blacks with hate crimes despite one black suspect, Khalid Adams, who told investigators he believed he was in the middle of a "racial war." One Seattle man, who asked not to be identified publicly, wrote The Times about Fat Tuesday coverage. "But the response to these hate crimes committed by young black males ... how slow it is, how mamby-pamby, how fearful and timid." In the end no hate charges against the blacks were issued.
Black Man Murders White Child
Alexandria, Virginia. An eight-year-old White child, Kevin Shifflett, was brutally stabbed to death by a Black attacker, while playing in his great-grandparents' front yard. A witness says that the attacker shouted racial epithets during the attack, and the main suspect in the case owns anti-white hate literature and had written a note about killing white children. He had been previously arrested for attacking an unarmed White stranger with a hammer. (During the attack, he called his victim "Whitey.") The police actually suppressed evidence of racial motivation in the Kevin Shifflett murder, including a handwritten note found in the attacker's apartment stating that he was going to target White children. - Davis, Patricia.

Black Louisville Teen Charged in Racially-Motivated Arson and Murder - No Hate Charges filed
http://www.courier-journal.com/localnews/2000/0001/28/000128in_fire.html
January 27, 2000 - A fight with racial overtones will be a central factor in the murder case against a Louisville teen-ager accused of setting a fatal fire last September in Jeffersonville, Ind., authorities said yesterday. Shawn L. Bald, 17, was charged Tuesday with starting the fire, which killed a couple and their 4-month-old son on Colonial Park Drive.
Police and prosecutors said the fire was set in retaliation for a fight two weeks earlier involving Bald, who is black, and a white family who lived in the building that burned. Bald struck James Moore with a metal baseball bat, and James Moore struck back using a metal chair, according to the police report. All three were injured and, according to the affidavit, Bald reportedly said afterward, "You have to go to sleep sometime, and you will all burn."
Two weeks later, on Sept. 11, the building at 819 Colonial Park Drive, containing four apartments, caught fire. A fire marshal later ruled that an accelerant had been poured up and down the stairway inside the building and that the fire started in front of the Moores' apartment.
The Moores escaped, along with several other people. But three people were killed: Allen Rumpel, 40; his girlfriend, Jennifer Steinberger, 24; and their 4-month-old son, Henry Allen Rumpel Jr.
According to a police affidavit, Bald described the fire afterward as a "marshmallow roast" because the people who lived in the building were all white. Bald, of the 700 block of S. Clay St. in Louisville, is charged with three counts of felony murder, four counts of arson, and two counts of attempted murder because James and Karen Moore were in the building at the time of the fire. He will be arraigned today in Clark Superior Court. - Courier-Journal (Indiana)
SAMPLE LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor,
I am writing to you to make your readers aware of a seeming reluctance and/or refusal of police officials to to charge black perpetrators of racially-motivated crimes against whites with hate crimes. There's no more effective way to erode the public's confidence in than when police show obvious bias when issuing charges against criminals.
We've seen many cases where suspected racially-motivated crime by a white person against a black that gets nationwide coverage for days and weeks on end, yet when a white person is the victim of a hate attack, the crime gets local coverage and little else. An example, which was reported in the New York Post of December 22, 1999, told of a white woman who was assaulted, raped, and anally raped by a black man who called her racist names during the attack. Amazingly, the police refused to label it a hate crime.
Another example, even more outrageous, occurred in Alexandria, Virginia and was reported in the Washington Times of July 12, 2000. An eight-year-old White child, Kevin Shifflett, was brutally stabbed to death by a Black attacker, while playing in his great-grandparents' front yard. A witness says that the attacker shouted racial epithets during the attack, and the main suspect in the case owns anti-white hate literature and had written a note about killing white children. He had been previously arrested for attacking an unarmed White stranger with a hammer. (During the attack, he called his victim "Whitey.") The police actually suppressed evidence of racial motivation in the Kevin Shifflett murder, including a hand written note found in the attackers apartment stating that he was going to target White children.
In neither of these cases where the racial motivation was undeniable were the national media interested. Of course, if the races of the perptrators and victims reversed, we can be sure the stories would have gotten around-the-clock coverage for days much like the Jasper, Texas dragging death.
Although, I'd rather the government simply revoke these hate laws, as long as they're in effect, we should demand that they be applied fairly and even-handed. Also, the national media needs to abandon their obvious double-standard when it comes to reporting on racially-motivated crimes. As a white citizen I'm sick and tired of the lives of white victims of racially-motivated crime being treated by the national media and many law enforcement agencies as if they are less worthy of justice than a black victim.
Yours truly,
Your Name
